Most people who don't 'know' about shrooms probably shouldn't attempt them. LSD is safer if you aren't clued up. For LSD tear the paper into 4 and take one piece. LSD tabs don't always work. It depends on how old they are, and how much light and handling they have been exposed to. If it looks in good condition then it will probably be fine. By this I mean if the paper is shiny and stiff, and the design isn't faded. It's also better to by them en-batch, purely because any single tabs are probably older and will have passed through more hands. Having said this a batch of tabs will send you to jail faster. By batch I mean a strip or section of card with serations that the tabs have still to be torn out of. If the dealer tears your tab from a batch then that is a good sign. Especially if he produces it from a bag, or plastic wallet. If it comes out a crumples faded mess from his back pocket then forget it!
I admit that shrooms sound better than hanging out in dodgey bars talking to drug dealers. The only problem is that taking the wrong shrooms is risking death.
I don't advocate going to these places to obtain drugs either. That in itself can be dangerous, and could put a person in jail, should they pick the wrong moment.
It's a tricky situation. Also remember that there is no guarantee that it will even work. We aren't close to establishing how effective this stuff is. I am the ONLY sufferer that I know of with a track record of more than 12 months!!! It's early days. To be honest, I would prefer if people with no history of recreational drug use, abstained from this amatuer trial. My concern is that A) they might land in trouble. B) dmamage their health. C) get the wrong stuff leading to a false negative, and jeopardise the credibility of this treatment.
If someone has prior experience, then hell go for it - it's not like you're crossing a new line!
Less tolerent people please note that I am providing this information to prevent people coming to harm through ignorance. Like I said, I'd prefer if novices didn't.
