The effects of halucigenic mushrooms on the kidneys
by jimmie42, Mar 04, 2003 12:00AM
I was wondering what the effects of psilocybin halucigenic mushrooms was on the kidneys. I have friends who insist on using them even though they have recently been hospitalized to acute renal failure due to an overdose of liquid morphine. I want to know if there are any severe health risks or periods of inactivity of the kidneys while on mushrooms so I can tell my friend. Thank you.
