If you overdo magic mushrooms they change your brain permanently. You get to a stage where the more magic mushrooms you take the more of a snake you become, if you look closely into the eyes of a trip casualty you will see they are somehow serpent like. As humans we are born with an override switch regarding our primitive instincts call them id if you like call it superego and ego likewise, like our inner parent and self, snakes on the other hand being primitive animals do not posses this override or even the higher centres of the brain that initiate the override, if you trip too much you will damage the override function permanently and so become snake like. Eventually you cannot control yourself or stop badgering and hurting people constantly. There's an old saying, "Snakes and Ladders." Ladders being a way of getting very high eg perceived ladders to heaven. When you're gone, you can't come back, because you're out of the blue and into the black, this loosely means when you lose your mind to trips, you won't get it back again. There's always the sun, remember your first trip and how bright it made everything look? This means the effects are permanent. You may even find you need something to give you back the inner peace you lost for good eg heroin, a lot of people will vouch for this fact. Give up before it's too late or you'll end up rotten to the core. Listen to Jugband Blues by Pink Floyd.
magic mushrooms affect a part of the primitive brain structures known as the limbic system, in particular the thalamus. the thalamus controls messages coming into the brain from the rest of the nervous system, and messages going from the brain to the rest of the nervous system. in other words, motor function (movement) and physical sensation. take to many and you'll reduce it's size and effectiveness, so you end up being unable to control your impulses eg aggression like a snake and you'll badger badger badger people and you will feel different, often unpleasant and wired, not at peace, within yourself.
