Way to promote illegal drug use, Harry by ShiftyEyedDog2	Jan 16th, 2008 02:57:31 PM

I'm with ShiftyEyedDog2 by JunoFallon	Jan 16th, 2008 02:59:24 PM
I don't care for this idea. I lost a friend who got too wrapped up in things like this (shrooms) included. I don't find it funny.
Drugs are great! Just ask Renfro! by SkeletonParty	Jan 16th, 2008 03:00:00 PM
There's no way anything can go wrong if you use drugs! It's just the MAN trying keep us from having fun. At least that's what my best friend said the day before he suffocated in his own vomit.
S*#! by Moofie	Jan 16th, 2008 03:02:12 PM
Yeah, saw this movie in my local cinema. It's absolutely terrible, it's really just awful. It's gonna win the Golden Gooseberry probably too.
Brad Renfro just called by ArcadianDS	Jan 16th, 2008 03:03:38 PM
He said he cant wait to attend the premier of this movie.
Is it me or is this wierd right after the Renfro thing? by SkeletonParty	Jan 16th, 2008 03:04:40 PM
How shitty.
Got this on DVD by Vamp-AICNchat	Jan 16th, 2008 03:09:30 PM

Loosen Up by MasterBateman	Jan 16th, 2008 03:09:54 PM
Heroin is totally different from most other drugs in that there is such a small difference in threshold between a recreational dose and an overdose. Pot, shrooms, a little blow, a couple pills, never hurt anyone.
The Road by The Bandit	Jan 16th, 2008 03:10:02 PM
Mmm yeah dont really give a rats ass about shrooms the drug or the movie. Wheres the talkback for The Road?
Who funds this shit? by AlwaysThere	Jan 16th, 2008 03:12:15 PM
They'd be better off rolling up their own money and smoking it than trying to pass this off as an actual theatrical release.
Hey, they used that yell at the end of the shrooms trailer. by SkeletonParty	Jan 16th, 2008 03:12:27 PM
Not the Wilhelm Scream, but that other scream that people sometimes think is the Wilhelm Scream. You know, the one from Dark Forces.
I Think You Misread The Intent of This Film by NorthAsthma2	Jan 16th, 2008 03:16:12 PM
I just saw preview and it looks like a Blair Witch knock-off; either that or a woodland guide to identifying some kick-ass psilocybin. This does not strike me as propaganda - just a standard-formula horror film. BTW, Renfro wasn't doing mushrooms, which is an organic, beneign substance. Let the ignorant shutter; more for me.
MasterBateman, you are delusional. by SkeletonParty	Jan 16th, 2008 03:16:43 PM
My best friend would have never tried heroine. Like you, he figured that pot, shrooms, pills were just fine. Without putting too fine a point on it, I'm still pissed at him because I was the one who had to tell his mom and dad he was dead.
Hey harry by Mezzanine	Jan 16th, 2008 03:20:24 PM
I want the last couple minutes of my life back. Holy shit that was a terrible trailer, and that movie is sure to win a fucking Razzie. How this shit gets made is beyond me.
I choose to stay out of the path of busses by SkeletonParty	Jan 16th, 2008 03:26:37 PM
rather than lay down in their path daily.
Soooooo by ArcadianDS	Jan 16th, 2008 03:26:44 PM
Mysterious Yobo's argument in favor of the legalization of illegal narcotics is that once we allow the government to regulate and control the quality and distribution of heroin, then people wont die from it. This logic works if you believe for one second that any program regulated and controlled at the Federal level actually DOES work. Where the hell are you from? Did you just fall off of Ron Paul's spaceship? Trust me dude - you need to phone home right now.
the criminalization argument lacks logic. by SkeletonParty	Jan 16th, 2008 03:28:53 PM
You could apply that argument to anything against the law.

Try watching Signs by Flying Spaghetti Monster	Jan 16th, 2008 03:31:14 PM
on shrooms...just try
Get a grip. by Ol' Gravy Leg	Jan 16th, 2008 03:31:44 PM
Shrooms are not heroin. They can not kill you. This is an indisputable fact. They've been used as the basis for primitive religious ceremonies for thousands of years, and not a single person has died from them. Yes, you can abuse any substance. No, you shouldn't use psychedelic drugs casually on a regular basis. But these substances are not the problem. It's the lack of education about them in our culture, and the fact that they're simply thrown into the same legal category as substances like heroin and cocaine and continually demonized which leads to people using them irresponsibly. But even then, they're not going to hurt you. Skeletonparty, I'm genuinely sorry that your friend's life took the turn that it did, but trying to place the blame for his death on shrooms and pot is simply wrong. Maybe if he'd laid off the pills and did a little serious contemplation the direction his life was taking, he'd still be here. But unfortunately he was brought up in a society where the good drugs are demonized and thrown into the same legal heap as the bad ones, and a society where coke and pills are much more accessible than mushrooms and ayhuasca.
Anyway, the flick looks bad. by SkeletonParty	Jan 16th, 2008 03:33:13 PM
slasher films are only fun if you're convinced the victims are in trouble. If, the whole time, you're thinking, "Eh, they could just be high", then it is difficult to get too worked up over the danger.
Actually by Flying Spaghetti Monster	Jan 16th, 2008 03:33:19 PM
try doing anything on shrooms...
I LOVE MUSHROOMS! by Bean_	Jan 16th, 2008 03:34:55 PM
Last trip was two days ago and it was amazing as always!
And yes, it's true. Shrooms "never hurt anyone". by Ol' Gravy Leg	Jan 16th, 2008 03:36:54 PM
There is not a single documented case of anyone dying from psilocybin mushrooms in the thousands of years people have been using them. This is a fact. Unfortunately, our government won't allow any further research into the effects of the drug, because it doesn't fit into the structure of our alcohol and caffeiene saturated society. But up until psilocybin was scheduled in the early 60s, it was being used to treat things like childhood schizophrenia and terminal-illness based depression with amazingly positive results. These substances are not toys, but they are as far from poisons as you can get. Educate yourselves, for Christ's sake.
Oh, and the movie is mediocre. by Ol' Gravy Leg	Jan 16th, 2008 03:38:45 PM
Saw it a few months ago. I wouldn't say it really takes a stand for or against mushrooms. It's just a standard slasher flick with some wacky hallucinations thrown in.
ignorance with drugs by ballsxcrew	Jan 16th, 2008 03:39:43 PM
shrooms dont kill people. i bet half of you self righteous assholes bashing harry for the "promoting legal drug use" take anti depressants or some other mood altering drug. the biggest drug problem in this country has nothing to do with the illegal ones.
In the UK... by Shoegeezer	Jan 16th, 2008 03:48:00 PM
we've already had this movie. It's pretty bad. Also, we had a loophole in the law that allowed all kinds of magic mushrooms to be sold legally, the caveat being that it was still illegal to "prepare" them in any way. That was one helluva year before they plugged that loophole.
What is half of an asshole? by SkeletonParty	Jan 16th, 2008 03:50:40 PM

Hey Harry by Kloipy	Jan 16th, 2008 03:51:48 PM
is this anything like that time you were 8 and took those 6 hits of acid that your parents left out at a party? Just curious
oh here come's good Ol' Gravy Leg by Kloipy	Jan 16th, 2008 03:56:24 PM

And I'll make fun of him again now. by Ol' Gravy Leg	Jan 16th, 2008 03:59:12 PM
Fuck Steve Irwin. That shit was hilarious.
Acid from your FatherGeek? by NorthAsthma2	Jan 16th, 2008 04:03:06 PM
You took six hits of acid that your father left out when you were eight? That's ah...a little irresponsible, isn't it? No wonder FatherGeek sounds like a moron when he contributes.
Drugs... by BrooseTheScharuk	Jan 16th, 2008 04:04:04 PM
...I would never EVER say anything to influence someone to take any, and I think they are for adults, not teenagers or children. Having said that, I also don't think you should talk about them if you haven't taken any. If you have friends or family who have died or suffered in some way, that is truly sad, but it doesn't make you an expert, any more than it necessarily proves that drugs are bad or even solely responsible for such tragedies on an individual basis -- just that you are reacting emotionally to an issue that's in dire need of some clear-headedness and constructive thinking. Your reaction is valid in light of your unfortunate experience, but ultimately not very objective or informed. Food is harmful under certain circumstances. People eat themselves to death all the time, in more gradual increments. Water kills -- just try breathing in it. I'm not even going to mention alcohol, prescription medications (anyone here lost friends as a result of all these shooting rampages, which seem largely attributed to anti-depressant use?), for that matter. Drugs need to be regulated. The war on drugs is far more destructive to life, libery and happiness than anything that it's proponents purport to be attacking. People need to talk to their kids and take responsibility. That's what parents are for, but they're too busy watching Survivor or American Idol or what the fuck ever, if they're home. Again, sorry to all those people who have suffered loss, but you need to get educated. That's what's going to keep good people out of the hospital, the cemetery, and the incredibly profitable-and-growing American prison "industry".

Be Responsible by jamestewart007	Jan 16th, 2008 04:05:43 PM
I've had friends who were high on mushrooms die. Same thing with smoking pot. But it wasn't the drugs that killed them. They didn't overdose or anything like that. They just ended up making irresposible choices like driving without a seatbelt, or going out in a boat without a life jacket. Could their accidents have been prevented if they hadn't been high? Maybe. Maybe not. Would they still be alive today if they had worn their seat belt or life jacket, the chances are alot better. It really didn't have anything to do with drugs. I'm not saying start a meth lab in your house or anything. But like everything else in life, moderation is the key to happyness. And a gram or two of mushrooms before going to look at christmas lights on your neighborhood houses with the family is a really great experience!
Broose, you're exactly right. by Ol' Gravy Leg	Jan 16th, 2008 04:07:16 PM
And you know, I've never been stung in the heart by a stingray, so I really shouldn't talk about Steve Irwin like that. But that's what 4chan does to a person.

Wow, the pro-drug guys on here get pretty pissy. by SkeletonParty	Jan 16th, 2008 04:26:05 PM
And, of course, their use of logic is hilariously bendy. I particularly like, "I also don't think you should talk about them if you haven't taken any". Great stuff.

Time Bandits or Vertigo , but not The Wall by 300 monkeys	Jan 16th, 2008 05:07:22 PM
The best movie I ever saw on mushrooms (back in the day) was Time Bandits. But I made the mistake of seeing Pink Floyd's The Wall on shrooms and really really really wished I'd dropped some acid.
Extras Christmas Special by Ol' Gravy Leg	Jan 16th, 2008 05:19:20 PM
I watched that while under the influence of about 4.5 grams a few weeks ago. It was the single most emotionally impactful cinematic experience of my life.
Hypothetical Films to watch while on shrooms? by BrooseTheScharuk	Jan 16th, 2008 05:21:23 PM
Fantastic Planet, Altered States, any Kauffmann/Jonze collaboration, any Michel Gondry (even Human Nature), any Miyazaki, 2001, The Shining, The Tenant, Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii, any David Lynch (including the "normal" ones), Shane (fucking spooky movie), any Val Lewton horror film, Die Nibelungen, Metropolis, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (not Charlie), Singing In The Rain and many many more (not that I'd know -- I just read it somewhere).
Otto Preminger's "Skidoo". by Ol' Gravy Leg	Jan 16th, 2008 05:24:29 PM
If you can find it. Acid would probably be better for that, though.
Ugh. People always want to watch movies on ___ by jimmay	Jan 16th, 2008 05:26:41 PM
Movies aren't better or worse when you're tripping. If you have to be warped on chemicals to truly enjoy a movie, then it sucks, period. This is the very reason one of my friends likes Michael Bay movies--he watches them all on special K.
How Prevalent is Shroom Abuse? by skoobyx	Jan 16th, 2008 05:31:42 PM

On shrooms... by BrooseTheScharuk	Jan 16th, 2008 05:38:04 PM
...I like the same movies as I do without the shrooms...I just like them in a different way. The right combination of shrooms and movies can be a borderline spiritual experience. Now bring on the twats who say "if you need to take halucinogenics to feel spiritual, then your life is sad, blah blah blah..." Simpletons.
Witty retort, Soylent by jimmay	Jan 16th, 2008 05:39:36 PM
Clearly hallucinogen use has broadened your mind to consider alternate points of view. I thought shrooms were supposed to make people happy and less judgmental.
Flame on Jimmay! by 300 monkeys	Jan 16th, 2008 05:46:31 PM
"less judgmental" my ass - try removing that plank first before you go after our specks!
Watching movies on shrooms is kind of overrated. by Ol' Gravy Leg	Jan 16th, 2008 05:48:02 PM
It's mostly just a way to take your mind off the more intense aspects of the trip.

UK by mr blandings	Jan 16th, 2008 05:49:06 PM
It's been and gone here. I saw a London bus months ago that had an advert for Shrooms, the tagline of which was 'Blair Witch on acid' - from someone called Lucy Vine at Zoo magazine. I also heard that Adrian Hieatt from Virgin Radio thought it was cool. Anyway, I'm not so sure about this. Can we please have some decent horror movies, Mr Studio guys?

Oh jesus! You poor bastards! by EvilGeek1	Jan 16th, 2008 05:51:54 PM

Yeah. Better than Shrooms but the best movie to come out of my country is still Intermission. Fucking hilarious!
(sigh) no. by jimmay	Jan 16th, 2008 05:55:52 PM
The man is watching me, so any recreation is out for me at this point. I got in trouble for abusing legal avenues of indulgence.
Thanks EvilGeek by 300 monkeys	Jan 16th, 2008 05:58:26 PM

Okie doke by EvilGeek1	Jan 16th, 2008 06:06:17 PM
I couldn't recommend Intermission enough. You got Colin Farrell (he was actually good in this movie) and Chief O Brien Colm Meaney. I don't like to promote stereotypes about Dublin and the irish (Although the drinking thing is right on the money), but that movie sums up exactly what Dublin life is like. Women with moustaches and buses flipping. The only thing I may say is that the humor is very Irish, but give it a chance. I don't know anybody who doesn't love it!
Colm is the Man by 300 monkeys	Jan 16th, 2008 06:11:09 PM
he's one of those guys who works so much that his presence by no means guarantees a great film, but when he gets a good role he always really tears it up (see Layer Cake).
So we can get this crap no one cares about imported by jimmay	Jan 16th, 2008 06:18:05 PM
But I still can't get Spaced on DVD? America's obsession with crappy horror movies wins again.

albeit a misspelled one, and probably not as funny as I thought it would be. My bad.

You are a very rude man.
For interrupting? by jimmay	Jan 16th, 2008 06:24:14 PM
Or for conflating imports from Ireland with the UK by bitching about not getting a UK show imported instead of an Irish film that's really poorly reviewed.

Anything imported has to have rave reviews backing it up or else there's no point. It'll get an obligatory week in the theaters and be thrown out on it's ass!
3 good things to do on shrooms... by Somerichs	Jan 16th, 2008 06:54:52 PM
1. Play soccer barefoot in the grass on the 4th of July, preferably in the company of pretty girls. 2. Watch fireworks on the 4th of July (pretty girls heighten the experience, but you can do it without them, too). 3. See Buddy Guy in concert, preferably in a smaller setting such as The Ventura Theater.

3 Bad things to do on shrooms... by Somerichs	Jan 16th, 2008 07:07:05 PM
1. See a Phish concert. While parts can be enjoyable, they inevitably get to that point about halfway thru the show where they start to jam, and where I am 100% convinced they intentionally try to fuck with people who are in an altered state, and not in a good way. (on a sidenote, that experience was somewhat redeemed later that evening, when I won a best of 3 ro-sham-bo (sp?) to avoid sitting in the back back of an Isuzu Rodeo for the long ride home; words cannot describe the elation I felt at that seemingly small victory. 2. Take said fungi with a not-so-attractive girl, then proceed to drive down the 55 freeway on a crowded Saturday night from Santa Ana to Newport Beach, and sit on an uncomfortable couch in a yuppie-ish coffee shop and people-watch. 3. Two words: Hot wings. They may taste good at the time, but you pay the price later...

Did lots in my younger days by samsquanch	Jan 16th, 2008 07:27:06 PM
Wouldn't touch the stuff now. Hallucinogens are a young man's game. I have to say, though, I never had a bad time on muchrooms. Just stay out of the mall, and you'll be fine. Oh, and the arguments like "What if you walked out in front of a bus?" are inane. The same way that a hypnotised person cannot be compelled to do something against their character, a stoned person will not chop his own hand off because he thinks it's "funny". Those stories are scare tactics, and are about as credible as "hiding under a desk will save you from a nuclear attack." More people should do drugs.

I agree, samsquanch... by BrooseTheScharuk	Jan 16th, 2008 07:45:44 PM
...except for the part about hallucinogens being a young man's game. Although I haven't taken acid in about two decades, I do still eat the occasional gram or so of fungus. In fact, I found a small amount in my fridge recently that I didn't know I had (no, it didn't grow there, clever funny people), and am now eagerly awaiting the right moment to have a snack.
the argument about drugs makes itself by aestheticity	Jan 16th, 2008 07:48:06 PM
observe how the proponents react, their arguments, what it is they say, their attitudes, outlook on life. observe the detractors. make your own mind up about which is the more balanced and reasonable. this ive always found to be the only guide that makes sense, since high school.

It's a good thing alcohol is legal, by samsquanch	Jan 16th, 2008 08:11:58 PM
cause booze never killed anyone. intoxication is intoxication is intoxication. If you get fucked up on coffee you can crash your car. My point was that the two-pronged arguments of: A) It's illegal, and B) you might cut your own hand off, are equally childish and irrelevant. If you don't want to get fucked up, don't do any drugs. Including so-called "mild" drugs like booze, coffee, nicotine, pharmaceuticals, etc. Good for you. Your moral superiority remains intact. However, if you're curious and you don't buy the pollyanna wailings of the 'war on drugs' crowd, grab your balls and jump, just do it as responsibly as you're able. Ask someone who's opinion you trust as many questions as you can think of, stop if you think things are getting out of hand, go really easy the first time, etc. It's the same advice you'll hear when you're ready to have sex the first time. I've known lots and lots of people, too many, who've hurt themselves and others while under the influence of a rainbow of substances. The thing is, almost every one of those instances happened in or shortly after high school. I don't think that's a coincidence. Lots of people do drugs. Lots, and lots, and lots. Your Dentist, your busdriver, your principal. The guy who delivers your pizza (and he drives a car!) if drugs were the scourge they're made out to be, we'd have a whole lot of people with two broken legs wheeling around.
one more thing by samsquanch	Jan 16th, 2008 08:19:41 PM
just to be a responsible adult for a second- If you're a kid, stay THE FUCK away from coke, pills, speed and heroin. Stay away from them even if you're grown, but especially if you're a kid. Seriously.
Littering annnnnnnndddd......SMOKING THE REEFER! by EvilGeek1	Jan 16th, 2008 08:22:18 PM
My view is to take them only when around good trustworthy friends and in a safe enough environment. I mean, most of us grow out of it and buy Hyundai's (unless you're The Dude, who is a legendary fellow), but I don't look down on anyone who continues to do so. Weed should be legal! It would fuck the Black Market up to a good extent!

Are you sure this is a good time to do mushrooms? by happybunni	Jan 16th, 2008 08:37:23 PM
OF COURSE, it's ALWAYS a good time for mushrooms
WOAH dude those must be some KILLER shrooms by zooch	Jan 16th, 2008 11:47:25 PM
it's really BLOWIN my mind out man. Seriously the only thing that shrooms do to me is make me laugh uncontrollably.
shrooming by Staldo	Jan 16th, 2008 11:58:51 PM
I was hoping that, since this was set in Ireland, the people would trip out and it would turn out that the fabled leprechauns are only visible to humans under the influence of the fungus. It would then either spiral into a stealth sequel to the leprechaun films starring Warwick Davis, or into a fucked up psychedelic fantasy epic.

and this movie gets big thumbs down for featuring that cartoony falling guy scream sound effect at the end of the trailer. It sounds like fucking Darkwing Duck. I dub that scream the Wilhelm of suckiness.
whole movie is told as flash forwards by Jarek	Jan 17th, 2008 12:54:28 AM
No joke, more than 3/4 of this movie feels like you're watching a foreboding dream. Then it happens. End up watching a lot of things twice.
shrooms and fantastic planet by cpt. tim	Jan 17th, 2008 12:57:28 AM
wierd, BrooseTheScharuk. i just watched fantastic planet on shrooms over christmas. the shrooms for some reason didn't affect theY TV, but my curtains were fucking awesome. As for skeleton party. yes, all drugs are bad, and you're a pussy little bitch. too bad for your friend who was too irresponsible to handle them. so many children OD on the POTZORZZZZ!!!
Watched this movie ages ago, its complete shite by bongo123	Jan 17th, 2008 02:06:55 AM
feck all like trippin out on shrooms and is basically a bunch of fucking annoying yanks coming to Ireland and hanging out with an annoying Irishman surrounded by fucking lame ass Irish rednecks.. fuck its lame on so many levels...
I saw Ring of Fire on shrooms... by The Dum Guy	Jan 17th, 2008 02:30:55 AM
It actually didn't improve the film at all, and I don't want to watch again.
It's called Shrooms and you took it as a serious horror movie? by Kizeesh	Jan 17th, 2008 02:45:02 AM
It's a black comedy. engage brains guys
Irish movies I recommend over Shrooms... by EvilGeek1	Jan 17th, 2008 03:38:26 AM
Breakfast on Pluto The Van The General The Snapper The Wind That Shakes the Barley And of course The Commitments. Funnily enough The Wind is about rebels in 1920's rural Ireland being trained to fight the Black and Tans and was directed by a British person! I thought that was hilarious!

Drug Movies by Herbert_West_Masturbater	Jan 17th, 2008 08:44:24 AM
If were talking drug related movies someone must have mentioned these. The Holy Mountain. El Topo Stalker and one that I just saw the other day... Renegade. Which is really the Bluberry movie. I have seen Harry reference mushrooms a lot while reading the site. I often wonder how many ounces it takes to mess him up. Or is it pounds. Oh I was also thinking they should have came up with a different name for Super Mario Galaxy for wii. Super Mario LSD would have been a good title.
horror movie fans reject this trash by astromagnet	Jan 17th, 2008 09:30:24 AM
This is a terrible, terrible film that isn't even worth watching for free. I saw that Eddie Furlong film 'Dead and Dying' last night and even THAT is so much better than the godawful "Shrooms". Whoever wrote this movie should be strung up! Total insult to the audience's intelligence.
Noose to Terabithia by Herbert_West_Masturbater	Jan 17th, 2008 10:23:23 AM
Actually, I just remembered... Bridge to Terabithia is an awesome movie. Even more so with a couple of hits of lsd. Happy tears were mixed with sad tears all over my face. I think I knew I was in for something special as soon as I saw the animated opening credits.
Holy shit by MacTard420	Jan 17th, 2008 10:43:24 AM
this movie looks so bad! I might have to use it for one of my Crap-A-Thons! That scream at the end kinda sealed the deal for me.

are pretty fun too. These people in the movie are fuckin trippin bad!
Shrooms by Moofie	Jan 17th, 2008 11:38:26 AM
And Isolation. And Boy Eats Girl. We can't do horror films, that's for sure. And any movie marketed as "Blair Witch Project _____" is not worth seeing.

Don't panic...it's organic by isispop	Jan 17th, 2008 02:09:14 PM
Plant!! I call plant...but not the usual use of the word on this page. What I mean are mushrooms are a fungus, and weed is a plant. I could cut & paste all kinds of stuff on here about how neither will hurt you, so quit bashin stuff you know nothin about. Quick lesson: Things in nature=good. Things made by the hands of man (like LSD, heroine)=bad. The same goes for food. Quit lumpin em all together you ignorant asses. As for the guy who knows someone (or is probably repeating some urban legend) about your friend who walked off the cliff that thought he could fly....your friend was/is an idiot, and probably would've done somethin stupid and/or would be a loser anyway. Now, back to the the actual trailer. God this looks terrible. This'll go straight to dvd, dumb parents will watch it w/their teens as a way to "get through" to junior about the dangers of drugs, and the dumb teens will go out & not only want to try it more, but they'll go pick poison mushrooms in their backyard after seein the chick do it in the trailer. Parents will blame kids deaths on ignorant fucks that made the movie w/out knowing anything about "shrooms". They get sued & quit makin dumb movies. The end.
magic Mushrooms were for sale in ireland by emeraldboy	Jan 17th, 2008 02:28:17 PM
then a guy, sampled a bad batch. when to the top of his apartment and believed he fly and jumped and fell to his death. 24hrs later they were banned byt the govt and the shop in dublin which sold them was raided by the Irish police.Since then the shop has either closed or it is trying to get a licence to sell Magic mushrooms leaglly. I am not the only one who can back this story up. I think evilgeek is irish, he probably remembers is it too. We all talk about drugs and they are ileagal in Ireland yet people take them. Drink is still very leagle in ireland and the consequences of Mass alcohol consumption are only being revealed. They are frightening.
interesting historical note by emeraldboy	Jan 17th, 2008 02:40:46 PM
When Nero purged the non romans from rome, they were scattered through europe. with 666 stamped on their hands. They went forraging for food and came across toad stools which had hallucinagenic qualities. Because this were the only food they could find they ate them. the consequences were that they got nightmares. These were then transcribed and handed down to generations. These were hunted people. they had to keep on the move constantly and they made up stories along the way. One guy ended up in a cave near a greek island. and he wrote stuff on the cave walls. and his diary was found. that is how the book of revelations was written. It was not written by st.paul as the church would have you believe. but it was written by a guy in cave, scared out of his life and high on taodstools.

EmeraldBoy or WaterBoy? by NorthAsthma2	Jan 17th, 2008 04:05:05 PM
Your knowledge of history is estoundingly ridiculous. You remind me of Adam Saudler in Water Boy challenging his Colonel Saunders professor about the origins of aggression. And by the way? It's call the Revelations of St. John, you moooooron. PS> I saw Robert Altman's Nashville hopped up on peyote and thought it was the most sensational movie ever. Saw it straight and it made me throw up in my mouth a little.
EvilGeek1, Intermission DID rule by password.swordfish	Jan 17th, 2008 05:14:21 PM
That was a great movie! Loved the opening, so against what we in NA were used to with Colin Farrell. Also loved the whole Barreytown trilogy. Don't worry, there's enough good Irish stuff that makes it over to counteract shit like this. And whoever mentioned The Shining, hell yes! I haven't seen it on mush (haven't touched it since I spent 3 hours with a dancing plant taunting me), but on weed it is terrifying to me! And terrifying in an awesome way.
I'm a good man! especial who love sports! by samsquanch	Jan 17th, 2008 06:47:54 PM
HAr har. God I miss weed. had to quit when it started making me feel like Tony Soprano with the ducks.

Also, does not feature man eating mushrooms nor do people turn into mushrooms. Lame and lame.
Shrooms CAN put you in the hospital, at least by Zauriel	Jan 17th, 2008 08:12:19 PM
Almost 3 years ago exactly, I did some shrooms with a couple friends for what must have been the 8 or 9th time, never a bad trip. But this time I got really uncomfortable, it was too hot inside and too freezing outside, and my heart started racing suddenly. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I panicked and called my own parents at 2AM to tell them I was tripping on shrooms and that I needed to go to the hospital (because my tripping friends weren't about to drive me there, concerned as they were). So there I am, tripping at the hospital, and when they lay me down and hook me up, my heart was doing 180 bpm, resting. That's like doing a full-out treadmill marathon. I didn't end up having a heart attack (they made me drink a super big gulp sized cup of liquid charcoal), but psilocybin can, in fact, increase your heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. Prior to this event, I had already sworn off anything non-organic (as I had already had my bouts with plenty of man-made shit). But after winding up in the fucking hospital, I have sworn off ever doing shrooms again. Which sucks because every other time I've done them, they've been absolutely spectacular. But for me it's just alcohol and weed now.
I think this proves that everyone's different by oisin5199	Jan 17th, 2008 10:55:41 PM
Every one has unique body chemistry and will react differently to shrooms, acid, pot, alcohol, caffeine, etc. I've seen 2 people take the same thing and one's tripping his balls off while the other is going 'is that it?' Or some people have major visuals on shrooms, while others have mostly auditory effects. On the other hand, some people are going to do stupid things no matter what they take and drugs are a convenient excuse for stupid behavior. And if the Anna Nicole Smith incident proved anything is that bad combinations of prescription drugs can kill you just as easily as illegal substances. If you had to go to the hospital after taking the shrooms, it's not a bad idea to swear them off. People have to listen to their own bodies. Non-sequitur: anyone remember that crappy X-Files episode when Mulder and Scully were kidnapped by a giant mushroom and kept on having 'hallucinations'?
Irish people, acting. by Gym	Jan 17th, 2008 11:10:30 PM
Arthur Matthews once said that if he ever sees a film that features an irish person in space or having sex, its ruined for him, both being experiences that irish people fail to convey convincingly. I'm inclined to agree.
Best/worst tripping movies by CarmillaVonDoom	Jan 18th, 2008 12:44:25 AM
Worst: Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Killer Klowns From Outer Space. Best: The Jungle Book, Akira, Total Recall. Had psychedelics before all the aforementioned...yikes those were messed up times!
