I havent tried mushroom yet . Iam regular cannabis user for long time . last year i had a panic attack over large dose of weed (smokin too fast) and it developed anxiety and muscle tension . some times intense when iam too high on weed.
I read about psilocybin mushrooms and its effect : and it says that you ll experince muscle tension in certain part of your trip . i want to know if you experince it ? how bad was it ? and how to cope with it? and if you are experince with both weed and mushroom how do you compare these 2?
I thought shrooms suppose to relax your body and makes you forget about any pain or tension but apparently its not the case. it would be gr8 if u can give me some info on this .
Thanks
 
shrooms give me muscle tension. it's been a while since i used shrooms but i recognize having felt tense during the last session i had.

shrooms are much more speed-like than cannabis in my experience. on the other hand, i always use indica. i stay away from sativas.
 
The first time I've tried mushrooms I was enjoying myself too much too even notice the muscle tension. It seems like i feel it in my neck and back mostly. If im doing a lot of walking/adventuring my leg muscles are sore afterwards. Ymmv
 
If by muscle tension you mean your cheeks and abs being flexed for prolonged periods of the most hysterical laughter in your entire life and soreness the next day, yes.
 
Definately cheek aches haha! But i havnt had any muscle tension on shrooms, unlike acid which locks up my shoulders for the first 2 hours... A friend of mine did get a painful leg cramp in his lower right leg every time though.. Havnt heard from my other tripping mates about this problem, so dont worry about it too much and u should be fine! Otherwise take a small shower, should help ease the muscles and be enjoyable to say the least ;)

Hi; I'm 52, do mushrooms about once every 6-7 days, Cannabis about 10 times per day, and have some comments on both re: tension/muscle tension.

Cannabis - no muscle tension, but quite frequently have minor panic attacks/psychological tension after using.Dissipates fairly quickly though. I'm assuming it comes from the fact that I'm smoking Sativa's, but for me it's way better for the arthritis than Indicas.

Mushrooms - about 1/2 the time I trip on shrooms, I get nasty shivering which progresses to the point of muscle clenching/leg twitching. Have monitored my bp, and it's normal (say 125/70 or thereabouts). This occurs during the comeup phase for me. About 45-75 minutes in. After that it's smooth sailing

How bad is the tension/clenching between the two? Simple; no comparable tension/clenching on Cannabis. On shrooms it has gotten bad enough that I've had to wrap myself in several blankets to stop the shaking. I've found that I had to contort my legs in odd positions to get things to calm down. It is definitely worse on some strains/cultivars than others.

I accept it as the cost of doing business with Mr Mushroom, and have no intention of stopping.

fingers and feet get really restless on the comedown... during the peak you're too out of it to notice. it's kind of annoying, having to tap your fingers / feet to the music...
 
I've found that taking magnesium prior to any trip can help with any muscle tension, and can really greatly reduce it. It also helps a lot to move around during your trip, I've only ever noticed severe muscle tension even taking some of the substances notorious for it when I've been sitting around and not moving - when I'm up, walking, running, dancing, whatever, it's never really noticeable or present. :)
 
Does it matter in which form you take the magnesium? I was told that magnesium chelates have the best bioavailability, but I just read somewhere that magnesium chloride is also quite good.

[edit] Sorry for offtopic.
 
For me mushrooms make my muscles as loose as possible, and I say that in the most literal way. It's like i can bend and stretch beyond normal limits with absolute ease.
 
No muscle tension whatsoever, they're extremely relaxing. As a few people have mentioned the only thing that will ache is your sides from laughing.

I like your style Thomas. Are you growing those yourself? I used to hit them every week for months at a time when you could buy them legally in the UK, now I've had to cut back a little.
 
Mushrooms make my body totally relaxed and serene, so long as I am eating exclusively the caps which feel cleaner - much, much, easier on my body for some reason than the stems (I have no explanation for this but stick to caps only every time, it wouldn't surprise me if the stems turned out to have something toxic in them, they are horrible for me).

Acid has given me extreme muscle tension and excessive vasoconstriction / cardiovascular stress, which ruins the trip for me, even off of relatively low doses, so I vastly prefer my mushroom experiences because even when I push the dose my body is chill. I'm unsure if acid is made wrong or something (RC takeover) these days, but it makes my body feel like absolute shit, like it burns me, so I stay away from it and don't trust it.

Weed is anxiety provoking but relaxes the muscles. I am a happy man with my constant kush and the occasional mushcap trip of bliss, as I have learned not to get too stressed out over a non toxic flower.

Growing them myself about 80% and buying the rest. Since my first harvest it's been about 95% my own.

Never been able to buy them legally though....

Yeah they banned the sale of fresh mushrooms back in 2007 I think. From 2004 to 2007 was the golden age - you could buy 5 kilos for about £250.
