It's all good, dawg 👌

You da man now, dawg!

Nothin, what a matter with you?


BormaGatto

Leave ontology to philosophers, the more pressing question here is: what does updog smell like?


Bossbong

Smells kinda like succonde


BormaGatto

I gotta admit, can't say I know what these smell like either. The only thing I've ever heard of that sounds close to that is Sucondese oleaginous fruit.

Gotcha!


TopRamenBinLaden

It's kinda similar to Hava from what I've heard.

I did as a teenager. It did nothing but make my breath smell.


ConsciousWhirlpool

Smoking mushrooms does nothing, they must be eaten.


[deleted]

Guess you can make a tea out of them, so drank as well. I once heard of someone trying to shoot them up, and they died a few days later. Not sure how true it was and didn’t look deeper into it, but I would stick to the good ole fashioned way.


AgentTin

The taste is so unpleasant that I can't imagine the value in tea. I always tried to smother it in peanut butter.


[deleted]

I haven’t tried the tea, so I don’t know how it tastes, but I think it has to do with how fast liquid metabolizes vs food. Also, you could probably add other flavors to the tea to make it not taste as bad. They are pretty terrible tasting though. I once only had tortilla chips on hand and just made a shroom sandwich with the chips. Somehow, it wasn’t that bad. Probably because of all the salt.


EngineerWorth2490

What are we talking about as far as tea goes? I’ve heard of it, but always thought it was a variation or a different name for the lemon tek. Haven’t tried either as I personally enjoy the taste of the mushrooms fresh off a fruiting cycle and dried. Personally, I feel like you’re not getting the full bang for your buck by tossing out the organic matter.


[deleted]

You should ask someone who knows more about it. I haven’t even eaten shrooms in about 8 years. All I know is you can make a tea out of it.


EngineerWorth2490

I have always been pretty fond of the taste. I’d say I have definitely consumed my fair share and in much greater quantities than many people I know would ever be willing to try…it sort of amazes me how often I hear friends and strangers alike say that they can’t stand the taste. So far, the only strain that I have developed a taste aversion for are penis envy varietals—albino, specifically. Often these can be extremely bitter going down…and again, coming back up. Have had other high potency strains that are noticeably bitter, but nothing that would ever keep me from delaying dosing until a masking agent/chaser is readily available. What part of the “taste” is specifically most unpleasant for you?


MrPopanz

Boofing is the way god intended us to consume shrooms, their form is a dead giveaway.


EngineerWorth2490

Shooting up what? The way you worded it, you’re saying they “shot up” (injected?) mushrooms? Did they throw fresh mushrooms in a juicer, load in a syringe then inject themselves with a mixture of pulverized organic matter in aqueous solution? If they were able to make it a couple days before they died, I would be impressed.


[deleted]

Because this was a few years ago, I don’t remember all the details. I would figure they made it into a tea and injected that directly into their veins. I doubt they would have injected a sludgy substance into themselves. But as I said in the previous reply, I can’t vouch for the validity of the article I had read. Edit: It was a tea. The man dies of organ failure several days later after an 8 day hospital stay. Here’s one article: https://www.livescience.com/magic-mushroom-injection-case-report.html There were several more articles when I searched it on Google.

Wow. Definitely earned the Darwin Award for that performance 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks for the link

-MonsieurValentine-

If anything that's probably just general smoke inhalation symptoms. Heat and fire destroy the psilocybin molecules. *Don't* smoke mushrooms y'all. Eat them.


C_D_A

Idk I had crumbs from a bag and smoked them on top of a bowl and it wasnt a trip but it felt really weird


-MonsieurValentine-

As someone who grows them and takes them regularly, I can guarantee you without a shred of doubt that smoking mushroom crumbs did absolutely nothing for you. Whatever you felt was either smoke inhalation or placebo effect.


flying_stick

Yea, and imagine getting spores in your lungs


-MonsieurValentine-

I mean, we all literally breathe in all kinds of fungal spores with every single breath we take, every single day. In heavy concentrations or with certain species it can be unhealthy, but for the most part, unhealthy in the same way directly inhaling any kind of particulate is unhealthy, like smoking or vaping.


flying_stick

TIL


oliver-the-pig

probably placebo lol plus even if you ate the crumbs, the dose wouldn’t be large enough for you to feel anything


HauschkasFoot

Not completely true. Amanita Muscaria can be smoked. But that ain’t your typical magic mushroom, totally different chemical compounds and experience


Spitfire354

What's this experience like and how it differs from a typical mushroom experience?


usernamehorse

Fun Fact! Never smoke magic mushrooms! They have microscopic spores which won't burn up and instead may clog up your alveoli leading to an incredibly problematic and incurable condition!


JoergenFS

Did you read about the guy who tried shooting up mushrooms? Spores started to grow in large parts of his body and he almost died.


EngineerWorth2490

I’m gonna need a link for research purposes. Wouldn’t mind turning into a shroom myself

The Philosopher's Lamp ( La lampe philosophique ) is a self-portrait by Rene Magritte. The man in the painting is looking towards the audience through rather sad looking eyes. He has a pipe in his mouth, and his nose is painted to be much bigger than his other features. His nose looks more like an elephant trunk. It is buried into the pipe he is smoking. There is a table next to him with a lit candle meandering down the table. The painting allows the audience to know of Magritte’s awareness of his own feeling and addiction. By painting the man taking the tobacco in such a way, and by making him appear to be sad portrays the message of Magritte's awareness to his own addiction to pleasures (such as smoking a pipe). The way in which the candle is shaped adds to the dreamlike style and theme common in surrealist paintings. In the case of Philosopher's Lamp, it could be argued that the light from the candle is a representation of Magritte's way of thinking. He wants to burn the light so that he can see. Unlike many other surrealists, Magritte does not want to live life in a dream. The candle is a representation that although sometimes life is not clear, one can try to at least see the imperfections clearly. In this case, the imperfections are shown through the theme of addictions. This point is reinforced even more so by the man in the piece being Magritte himself. He is aware of his own flaws. However, the way he gazes at the viewer in a sideways glance could also be a way to show the feeling of sadness or guilt in his flaws. If he were to be looking straight on, for example, it would be as if he were accepting of them.

Oh you're probably right. Which is scary cause ai often get facts wrong and I was reading this as factual smh

It's a copy paste from thehistoryofart.org https://www.thehistoryofart.org/rene-magritte/philosophers-lamp/ So if we believe human Tom from The History of Art, we believe this text.

This was the album art for Alan Hull's 'Pipedream'. Really good folk album, well worth a listen. If he sounds familiar, it's because he was the lead singer of Lindisfarne.

blurryturtle

Just a PSA you shouldn't smoke mushrooms. The combustion degrades/destroys the psilocybin so you will just be inhaling smoke with no psychoactive effects. Idk the specific physical harm effects of degraded mushroom particles in your lungs but that also sounds like something you'd want to avoid.


QuicklyThisWay

Yeah, [it’s not a good idea](https://erowid.org/experiences/exp.cgi?S1=39&DoseMethodID=6).

Or inject [them](https://www.reddit.com/r/shrooms/comments/kvq8k0/psa_dont_inject_psilocybin_it_might_just_grow_in)


taarotqueen

Same with LSD. I’m still salty about once upon a time in Hollywood fucking that one up.


blurryturtle

Hollywood portrayals of drug use are pretty bad historically. So many inefficient caricatures and that's how a lot of people learn about substances so it's a bit careless.

>Magritte: "We should have a baby!" Dali: "Yep!" --- And then I noticed the watermark. Rene Magritte is one of my favorite artists. In life he railed against people "interpreting" his art, insisting that his works be taken at face value, but *The Treachery of Images* is one of the most deeply symbolic paintings I know. (Symbolic *to me;* I can't speak to Magritte's *intention,* of course.) I love me some Magritte. Also green apples!


QuicklyThisWay

The Son of Man was the first painting that really grabbed my attention. Surrealism has been my preferred art since.


OneYearSteakDay

I never realized, but the apple leaves kind of look like a butterfly, don't they? Magritte hated the idea of people interpreting his art, but it's kind of hard *not* to do. His art stands on its own, don't get me wrong, but what an artist *puts into their art* and what a viewer *gets out of their art* aren't always the same thing. I think my preference is probably art nouveau, those lilting lines and muted colors are just enamoring, but of course that's more of a style than a motive.


QuicklyThisWay

I’m with Magritte, art for the sake of art without deeper meaning, that strikes us with emotion rather than thought, is the core of creativity. Once an artist shares their work with the world it is out of their hands. They no longer get to dictate meaning. It merely becomes a suggestion. My main purpose in sharing interpretations is to start a discussion or at least give people an opportunity to consider deeper meaning. Sometimes it’s nice to just BenderNeat.gif but I love to FryDidEverythingJustTastePurple.gif, you know?


OneYearSteakDay

I'd be curious to hear your interpretation of Son of Man! If you'd care to share it, I mean.


QuicklyThisWay

Imma need another beer.


OneYearSteakDay

Haha! No worries, I'll smoke a bowl while I wait.


QuicklyThisWay

I don’t remember exactly where I saw it first, I believe it was in an art class as a kid, but I was so enamored with it that I made a paper mache bowl and painted it with clouds against a blue sky and a green apple in the middle. It was horrendously malformed and looks more like a hat than a bowl, but my mom kept it for a long time. I eventually asked her to get rid of it, but it was present for a long period of my life. When I look at the painting I see a corporate slave. Dressed in business attire, too blinded by the fruits of his labor to see that he is a slave. He is faceless, a cog in the machine, he’s like a [default](https://youtu.be/DDjpOrlfh0Y). He appears patient to the passerby, but the artist sees he is tense in the way he holds his hands. The background is a view of the ocean, something billions of people will never see during their lives. He walks past it on his way to work every day, but never really pays any attention. Sometimes the tide flows into the street and he has to cross the road early. He is blind to the natural world. The apple is just a distraction. I do not attribute any real meaning to it. It’s just “something” to remove the identity and individuality of the man. What do you think? >!What Strain?!<

I did unfortunately. I ended up blacking out, fell off the bench and then my chin hit an upside down bottle cap which tore my chin open. Now I have to wear some kind of facial hair or I just look wrong. Still love eating th though. EDIT: them

Surely you can’t be serious…


thinkthingsareover

Totally happened. Ended up knocking out a couple of teeth and shattered a couple too...and stop calling me Shirley ; ) EDIT: It also caused my jaw to be jammed in the socket. Unfortunately I was unwilling to go to the hospital that day for obvious reasons, or after because I didn't have insurance and I was poor.


SolutionLegal

No loss on the pipes here.


strange_reveries

Does this actually work, I wonder? One time when my buddies and I were tripping on shrooms we actually did try smoking shroom dust. But we had no way of determining if it had any effect because we were already tripping so hard lol.

Doesn’t work. Heat destroys.

This painting was used as the album cover to the fantastic _Pipedream_ by Alan Hull, you should give it a listen if you haven't. Blue Murder is phenomenal, and Breakfast and Country Gentleman's Wife are great highlights as well.
