Question 8

what can magic mushrooms do to a person?

Accepted Answer

Hallucinations: Used recreationally, hallucinogenic mushrooms can lead to psychosis, intense fear, and panic.  Doses are extremely variable, and can be too high.  In contained therapeutic situations, research is being done with more moderate doses of the active compound, psilocybin.  Some participants spoke of a mystical experience of sacred connectedness.  For some, positive change. http://tinyurl.com/8o33k5a.

Question 9

what are the health effects of magic mushrooms?

Accepted Answer

Depends: on what you are really getting. When it comes to herbal substances, especially in the US where they are essentially unregulated, you never know what you are getting.  Even more so with illicit plant drugs like peyote, mescaline and psilocibin (which is the active ingredient in most 'magic' mushrooms). Bad trips with psychosis and flashbacks, anticholinergic effects -dry mouth, blurred vision etc.

Question 10

what are the results of magic mushrooms on the brain?

Accepted Answer

Most of these drugs: act on serotonin-related pathways in the brain, and activate parts of the brain that experience visual, auditory, tactile and olfactory sensations, turning on neurons that usually are activated by those stimuli without the stimuli being there - producing hallucinations of various types, as well as having dopaminergic stimulatory effects. There are no lasting changes in most people.
