The mushrooms mean hallucinogenic mushrooms…

Psilocybin mushrooms
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogenic_mushrooms
Psilocybin Mushrooms are being experimented with in legitimate medical research to see if it has medical uses.

Using “Magic Mushrooms” makes you feel happy, ‘high’, and can make you see things… They are Hallucinogenic. Studies have shown that as long as you have a “Positive Trip” and don’t see anything scary, the long term responses of people show that it actually helps with depression symptoms for up to 6 months after the initial ingestion of the mushrooms.

They are legal in Fresh, non dried, form in the Netherlands… A great little shop to get them at is called “The Magic Mushroom Gallery” and the primary store is located along the “Flower Market” which floats on the canal…

Opium
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium

Opium is BAD STUFF… Hydrocodine… Vicodine… Oxiconton… It can cause “Visions”.

It has its legitimate medical uses but when abused… It causes you to feel “High” and sleepy but when abused can lead to addiction and death due to the suppression of breathing and heart beat.
