Can you share some info on how much you took, and in what setting you took them, what you did on the trip, etc? I have a bunch of shrooms sitting in my cabinet but I havent had got any life altering effect out of them.

Same: I saw crazy stuff, but when the effects wore off, nothing had changed.

This would actually be my preferred trip. I just want to have fun, its been so long since I had genuine good fun. Im tired of all the mental reflection.

Yes, that's pretty normal, that's actually expected behavior. I think people saying it changed stuff are the ones having a problem in the first place (reality perception, lack of sensitivity or whatever).

Just like alcohol, those things are basically a poison, that you do not die from, provided you don't overdose (you probably have more chance dying of alcohol than mushrooms but still...).

People should take them to have a bit of fun, just like getting inebriated with alcohol and moving on with their life.

Beware of people who tries to pretend more, that are most likely full of shit and you can probably ignore most things they say if they lie about that...
