I'm doing a health project on magic mushrooms and I can't seem to find the information I'm looking for. The only thing I have left to find out for my project are the different effects of magic mushrooms in men and women. It will be a big help if I could get some answers. Thanks.

Does Terence McKenna have nothing to say on the subject?  I'm fairly sure his wife took hallucinogens with him.  I think "Food of the Gods" might explore gender and mushroom use.

*Shaking my shaggy skull* As DHE is relatively new, there are no long term studies that I can find so far, a lot of short term ones though. Most studies of that sort are under controled situations for things like headaches, not overdosage to create hallucinations. But just because there are no studies does not mean there are no effects. Anytime one throws the body out of balance with drugs (good or bad) there are effects.\n\nIt was not just hippies that dropped acid, pretty much everybody (people like you and me) from all walks of life experimented with drugs in the 60's 70's and 80's. Hallucinagens were as common then as Ecstasy and Meth are today.\nAs for LSD, the effects are not exactly physical per sey, they occur in the brain and are now described as the phenomenon known as post-hallucinogen perceptual disorder (PHPD). Pretty much flashbacks with a technical name. http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/health/hppd/hppd_article1.shtml\nI myself can vouch they are real as I know more than one previously bright person who was lost to hallucinagenic overdoses.\n\nLike all things, too much is bad for one...

In our life’s we see people go through alot of pain, where they did not seem to really know where there going, so we searched for answers in health, relationships, and long life success. We went to the depth of the earth for cold hard facts. We care for all people and I want them to know the truth. Well all I can say is Kevin Trudeau is right on track with his books. My research does come from years of looking into the health field and I will say there our many others like Kevin Trudeau that have not come out of the closet maybe because of fear? Here are a few websites for you to look at. I will not give the websites out here but what I will do is give the name of the website and you can go to a search engine and find them right on top.\n\n(The homeostasis protocol),  (Sam Biser), (Dr Richard Schultz), (sanoviv) (hippocratesinst)\n\nThe success stories of these people are just amazing.\n\nI believe one thing!!! All of these masters on health agree on one thing DO NOT CHASE A DISEASE!!! Because you’ll lose like millions have done already (Death). The way to knock out the disease is to give it an environment that it can’t stand to live in, like a fish out of water. Take care of your self and remember to pass this information on to the people you love and see in pain. Please take care of your self and your love ones. This time on earth is very short for all of us. \n\nI LOVE YEA\n\nGod Bless\n\nHave a Wonderful Day... Keep your head up and don’t quit!!!!!!

"The nutritive composition of a hot aqueous extract of wild Ganoderma fruit bodies was determined. This extract was assessed for cytotoxicity and in vivo genotoxicity by both acute and subchronic exposure of mice (given by mouth at a dose equivalent to extract of 220g fresh Ganoderma fruit body/kg body weight). To test any alleged protection against mutagens by Ganoderma treatments, the mice were injected intraperitoneally with the radiomimetic mutagen ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), and after 24hr of treatment their lymphocytes were examined using the comet assay. Ganoderma extract consisted of Folin-positive material (68.9% of dry weight), but protein comprised only 7.3% of dry weight. Glucose accounted for 11. 1% and metals 10.2% of dry weight (K, Mg and Ca being the major components with Ge (often touted as being of value in sales literature for Ganoderma preparations) having the fifth highest metal concentration at 489 microg/g). In comparison to rodent chow, Ganoderma extract was a modest dietary supplement. No evidence was found for genotoxic chromosomal breakage nor cytotoxic effects by Ganoderma extract in the mouse, nor did it protect against the effects of ethyl methanesulfonate. We found no support in this study for the extract having any value in protecting against the test mutagen.\nPMID: 10717357, UI: 20183650" (1)\n\nSince the fungus has been used for 2100 years to treat both liver disease and diabetes, and the most effective treatments of both have been discovered only in about the last 50 years, I'd wait until more studies were done, and any healing components of the fungus described, extracted and purified before I'd count on it. Really, they didn't cure hepatitis or diabetes very well 1000 years ago!

Angie,\n\nI'm assuming that you want some information on the organism's effect on the body, rather than information on the organism itself.\n\nTry http://www.pathguy.com  This is a website that is run in it's entirety by a pathology professor.  All the information in every lecture (all the 'articles' you find there are actually lectures he gives to his students), cites specific articles that appeared on NEJM, Disease-a-month, etc...nothing is anecdotal.\n\nGood luck!

Check to see if you can find a PDR.com site.\nThe PDR explains every drug and its effects.

It does have the same effect that in men,erection (of the clitoris and nipples in women). But doesn't increase the sex drive. Same restrictions apply to females (don't use if you have heart, circulatory or blood pressure problems). It is reported that it does increase sensation and orgasms, but isn't clinically proved.\n\nNo, it is not hormonal, and won't grow beards in women.\n\nYes the study implies it increases the sex drive, but then says it was not significant (statistically) against a placebo

Orthotrycyclen-Lo is a good one a good bit of the female soldiers we see take it and outside of snapping on someone now and again there is very little outward side-effects. As far as libido, some of them are freaks, so maybe this is what you are looking for. I've also seen fewer sides in Levitra so there you go and take this info with a grain of salt.

Hi Tawnee S,\nSounds good to me (hamster & fish get high too) shouldn't have any effect except to be stoned-2 tokes for the road!! \nIgnore all the ones that say this is bad! Unless you smoke marijuana & know the difference.  If you are one of those few that believes everything the damn government says then you really don't have the clue.  And should read for your yourselves & get some knowledge while at it!  The effects of pot- on MS patients, glaucoma, Cancer patients, AIDS patients, radiation patients.  People that have other mind blowing sicknesses & medical problems will know the difference. Yes my doctor knows so for all those others GO READ & GET SOME KNOWLEGEMENT DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE GOVERNMENT SAYS!    Have a good day :0)

The whole Maxman group is bogus.  They are just selling an herbal supplement.  Now they admit that they won't provide miracles, but I want to emphasis that nothing they are providing will has really been tested to show any real results.  I would recommend a multi vitamin, healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and eliminate any smoking if you want that maximum blood flow to certain parts of your anatomy.

I am not a doctor but some people get good results with a herb which i will not name.  This information can probably  be located on Web MD, and i would also at the very least speak to a pharmacist in case  of herb, drug interactions.  Also Web MD probably can tell you, with something called symptom checker,  if what you have is depression

i have smoked pot daily for years as well as my on/off boyfriend of three years and i have never noticed his boobs growing! we are both in good shape and quite slender naturally so pot hasn't even made us gain weight from munchies. side effects i guess are the typical lowered sex drive, lowered sperm count and amotivational syndrome in some people although it's typically associated with an already lowered motivation/depressed mood and is not causally linked to pot. incidentally, munchies might just be a learned behavior but there is some evidence that it stimulates parts of the hypothalamus that stimulate appetite. as for boobs hurting, i have never felt that and neither has my guy! if they are, maybe you should get checked, guys can get breast cancer too, in fact it is more common than most realize.
