Taking magic mushrooms: DO-S
(1) Start with a low dose.
Never take more than 1 gram of dry magic mushrooms. Wait for 90 minutes. If you feel OK and want to intensify the experience you could take some more.
(2) Make sure there is nothing on your head for the next 24 hours.
No work, no school, no visiting of friends or family, no care for children or pets, JUST NO NOTHING!
(3) Make sure to trip in a relaxed environment.
Busy environments with lots of people and noise may cause an information overload. Choose an environment where you are not bothered by people not involved in the experience. Choose a calm, natural, preferably rural place, where you can enjoy the wonders of nature. Choose a place that is familiar to you, a place you know and where you feel save.
(4) Make sure to trip with people you know, like and trust.
Preferably there should be someone around that is not involved in the experience.
Taking magic mushrooms: DON'TS

Are Magic Mushrooms Legal?
The answer is: "it depends". The main psychoactive substance in magic mushrooms is psilocybin (psilocin). In most countries psilocybin and psilocin are illegal. However, in quite a lot of countries this does not imply that the Psilocybe mushrooms are illegal as well. Unprocessed, fresh magic mushrooms are legal in many countries. See also the notes under 'Drying, storing and the LAW' in the conserving section.
Fresh magic mushrooms LEGAL in Holland
Until November 4, 2002 fresh and dry magic mushrooms were legal in the Netherlands. From this date, however, the supreme court decided that dry magic mushrooms are illegal. Why? Because the are considered a psilocybin containing preparation (something processed by a human being). Happily, fresh magic mushrooms are still legal to possess and sell.
Do magic mushrooms show up in a drug test (1)?
After a week, no URINE or BLOOD based drug test will diagnose psilocybin. So, make sure that within a week after taking you are not tested for drugs. Psilocybin is (unlike cannabis/marijuana) not soluble in fat. So it will NOT stay in your body for a long time.
Do magic mushrooms show up in a drug test (2)?
Is it possible to trace the use of magic mushrooms in your hair? Until now I did not found literature about this issue. However, I THINK that even in hair-analyzing-tests psilocybin will not show up (unlike for example cocaine). The active dose of psilocybin is 5 to 20 milligrams. Virtually nobody uses magic mushrooms on a daily basis (unlike alcohol, cocaine, heroin) because it is not an addictive drug and the effects will go away after taking it every day. So, most people only get very little amounts of psilocybin in their system. Because of this the chances that it shows up in a 'hair-test' are very, very slim.
just like to share my TRIP with you all.
