Can You Smoke Magic Mushrooms?

And will it get you high?

Psilocybin mushrooms must be eaten and processed through the liver to take effect. There’s no proof that smoking shrooms will make you trip. While some anecdotal reports on the internet may say the effects of smoking shrooms are lit, it’s likely dangerous fake news.

If you were to smoke mushrooms, you’d also be susceptible to a fungal infection called Aspergillosis. This respiratory illness increases the risk of lung inflammation and even lung cancer. People with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable to contracting this infection.

The bottom line: smoking shrooms is super unsafe. It offers zero benefits and will only seek to cause harm rather than good.
