Hello all,
as you proly know, i am new to shrooms. I have a friend (well, not so much friend, more of aquaintence) who says shrooms (in general) make your brain bleed during your high. He states that this is what causes the hallucination. Now, i thought this was absolutely absurd, because as far as i knew, shrooms were realitively safe, and non-toxic, causing little, or no damage. So please, answer this question, hopefully proving my sully aquaitence wrong.
Do shrooms make your brain bleed?
p.s as much information on this topic as possible would be greatly helpful!
thnx alot :)
Hahahahahahaaaahahahaha...OMFG...ahahahahahahhaha...ROFL......rOlF.... :roll: :roll: :roll: Sorry, that's all the information I have at the moment. Maybe someone else will get back to ya.
:roll: ...thought id recieve a reply like this...i take that as the guy who said that was wrong :lol:
Ok, Ok, I'm almost done laughing. There is no brain bleeding involved. Psilocybin affects serotonin receptors. Although, the real answer would probably be scarier to your friend than the "brain bleed" myth.
"Psilocybin is rapidly dephosphorylated in the body to psilocin which then acts as an agonist at the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor in the brain where it mimics the effects of serotonin (5-HT)."

is this even sensical enough to be classified as a myth, because ive never heard this before, nor have I read this anywhere.
It's not sensical enough to be a myth, but I have heard it before.

:roll: --- Jeez Canadian Guy, it's people that spout off such nonsense that make my brain bleed :wink: --- Who is this acquaintance/not friend that you would lend any credence to anything he or she says??? Sounds like someone who has been brainwashed with every urban myth/horror tale the War On Drug Brigade could foster..... Tell me now; you don't actually hang around people like this do 'ya.....?? :shock: --- sal
I didn't know a myth had to be sensical? But anyway, I ran a search on Google and for ( "brain bleed" mushrooms) there are 382 hits. That's approaching a myth status.
Sure it's sensical. Your brain bleeds - you trip. It scabs over - you stop tripping. A scap falls off - flashback. hahahahahahaha
"Tell me now; you don't actually hang around people like this do 'ya.....?? --- sal"
haha...no sir, i sure dont...he was telling me this on msn one night. He was at one of my friends house that was going in on shrooms with me and said this, obviously to try and steer us clear. I dident believe him, and redicule him often ever since the incident, though he still insists its fact. :roll:

clever...very clever :lol:
Tell 'em to show the facts or learn.

haha...brain bleed... yeh tstt nailed it on the head, there is also varying affinities with other 5-HTR subtypes dpt on which tryptamine is in question...
definitely not a 'dangerous chemical' in toxicity terms but stil, behavioural toxicity can stil be an issue for the unprepared
Ive seen 2 ppl end up in hospital recently due to anxiety whilst on shrooms, not a dose thing, just a setting thing, one guy was confronted by gang members while walking home and felt his heart was beating too fast, the other just jumped into the deep end and underestimated the experience... but dont get me wrong, not to discourage (where legal), just to encourage the use of safe set esp for beginners..and the doses in question + sum were tolerated most kindly by other trippers with the only downside being the experience had to eventually end...and a saw jaw from grinning too much...
lil bit of respect goes a long way...
The only one whose brain is bleeding is that of your friends.

How much are a bag of scabs & do they tast like pork scratchings?ROTFL
This thread is just tooooo Much.
And 382 hits out of a possible 6 billion people int he world is hardly a myth status.
More like a grain of sand at the beach status.
Have a brainy day,
