The decision to experiment with mushrooms is only
one you can make, but if you decide to, keep
these things in mind.

• Proper ID is important
• Potency varies among individual specimens and
  people vary in sensitivity
• Possession of psilocybin and psilocin is a felony
• Do not mix alcohol with hallucinogens
• If you buy from someone else, be sure of the
  source
• Partake in a safe and comfortable setting

• Never give a person hallucinogens without their
  knowing it
