Taking magic mushrooms carries risks. If you want to play it safe, don't take magic mushrooms. A small amount of magic mushrooms will have a relaxing effect, but a larger amount can mean a trip. You see things differently than they are in reality. It can sometimes be very scary. If you decide to take it anyway, the information below can help you reduce the immediate health hazards.

1. Only eat magic mushrooms if you are feeling good physically and mentally. Magic mushrooms can reinforce negative feelings. Make sure you are in a safe and relaxed place you are familiar with.
2. Never eat magic mushrooms alone or with a large group of people. Make sure there is always someone there who is sober and can keep an eye on you.
3. If you feel frightened you often think it is never going to be over or you think something in your body has been damaged. That isn't true, that awful feeling always passes and it isn't dangerous. If you feel frightened, look for a nice quiet spot, have something sweet to eat or drink and try to think about something pleasant.
4. Magic mushrooms change how you see reality. This can sometimes be dangerous. In traffic or near windows, balconies or other places where falling could be dangerous.
5. There are situations and circumstances where you should not eat magic mushrooms. Don't eat them if you are pregnant, take any medicine or have psychological problems.
6. Never combine magic mushrooms with hashish. There is a risk of the trip turning bad and being overwhelming. Don't combine magic mushrooms with alcohol or other drugs either.
7. Even after the magic mushroom high is over, you are still less alert and concentrated for a couple of hours. So driving is not only risky during the high but afterwards as well.
8. Never pick magic mushrooms yourself. It is hard to tell the difference between the magic mushrooms you buy at a smart shop and poisonous mushrooms.
