		<description>Came across this page when searching the net tonight as I am heading to Japan in a few days for the second time and was wondering about mushrooms/psychedelics in Japan.

Basically the first time I was there I was basically on a 2 week bender out in Shibuya pretty much every night heavy drinking and hitting up all the clubs.  One niht in CLub Atom I was fairly drunk and was dancing to some crazy psy-trance when 2 Japanese guys came up to me and started repeating "Ganja, ganja" and laughing.  As I walked back towards the bar they came up to me again and started asking if I like ganja and charrie.  Charlie, what they weere trying to say is slang for coke in the UK, where I am from.  I thouht drugs were a maor no-no in Japan but these guys got me excited so I asked a bit more about ti and the guys said they would ask for me.  I have no idea why they ust came up and started asking me to begin with though.  Basically the club closed and as I was leaving one of the guys came up to me and said he can get me ecstacy.  I told my friend and he as interested so the guy took me down the road to meet some very shady looking guy with full body tattoos, standing there with his hands in his pockets ust staring through me not saying a word.  I started thinking the whole thing was a bad idea and told the guy it was cool.

Another thing I was wanting to mention was that I used to order a lot of 2c-i, 2ct7, 2ct2, 2ce, 5MeO-DMT, etc to the UK from an online source that was located in Shinjuku.  So I know that stuff must be available in Japan and I read kinoko's post above alluding to that.  I was wondering if anyone has any information on any of the 2c analogues and their availability/legality on Japan.  I understand running around taking drugs is a stupid move but I would love to have a day/night of tripping in Tokyo, I imagine it would be pretty fucking insane.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

my e-mail is ecky@hushmail.com if anyone wants to share anything.</description>

		<description>You guys are both right. To anyone considering psychedelics, you should try them at a safe, quiet setting with good friends, preferrably with at least one person sober to look out for you.

I didn't write about it in this article, but earlier that same day we ate some Mexican shrooms (the weaker variety) and had an amazing experience at Kaiyukan, the aquarium in Osaka. The penguins' fur was so shiny and beautiful, and the seal's eyes looked so deep and intelligent. I felt like I was communicating with him (he was underwater, I was on the other side of the glass). When I moved my water bottle, I discovered I could make him do back flips and turn his body just like I was turning the bottle. Amazing animal. I was drawing a small crowd, and some kids asked if I worked there. Even after I was done playing with him, he followed me around wanting to play more. The best part was the jellyfish, under those trippy blacklights. They look like creatures from another planet (even if you're not on anything). So, yeah, I do think that shrooms are better in a natural environment.

As for my buddy and his strange behavior, he kept exclaiming, "I'm controlling space and time!" and he was dancing with all sorts of girls, ripping off his Superman shirt to expose his hairy chest, etc (he works out). He was the life of the party until he took things overboard. I wouldn't describe his experience as a bad trip. Just a bad decision, he he.</description>

		<description>To stand on a bar kicking drinks over seems a bizzar reaction to mushrooms. (But everyone's different, I guess.) Usually if someone's having a bad trip they become very withdrawn and don't say much, though if they do it won't make any sense. Smashing stuff up is a much more commonly a result of too much alcohol.</description>

		<description>This could all have been avoided if the mushrooms were dosed in a better location. A busy club or bar is pretty much one of the worst places to eat mushrooms, in my opinion.  For example, a better place would be in your bedroom, so you could lie down and have the experience without being bothered. Or a remote secluded spot in nature.  Anyways, being ferried off to the hospital is better than the jail house I suppose.</description>

		<description>Yaeyama,

It always surprises me to hear opinions like yours. Don't assume that the current drug laws make sense or are based on any form of science. The current legal status of marijuana is roughly equivalent to alcohol's prohibition in the U.S. in the 1920's.

Last time I came to Japan, I smuggled 3 bottles of an addictive, mind-altering substance. They searched my bags yet I did not end up in prison. The substance is called alcohol.</description>

		<description>Why don't YOU go back to your own country if you're so worried about your precious reputation, you narrow minded fascist? No one's forcing you to live in Japan. Take your small ideas back where you came from if you find living here difficult.

Scumbag biggots, we don't want you here. Go home to mummy.</description>

		<description>Holy crap, if you losers are into drugs do NOT bother coming to Japan.  It's already hard enough to live here as a foreigner without our reputation being further sullied by scumbag druggies who get caught smuggling or using illicit drugs.

Stay the hell in your own country, scummies.</description>

		<description>Shinji this may not help you but I'll give it my best shot.

The best way of course is to meet friends in Japan who are into drugs. You can meet them at parties/raves. If Japanese friends won't open up, I have met Indonesian and Persian (Iranian) guys at clubs that sold me stuff before. You may find westerners using but they will probably only have personal use quantities and won't be selling (doesn't hurt to ask tho)

You can try the condom up the ass trick, but I don't know if dogs can smell that far up or not (you don't want to get caught smuggling... read George's prison stories for a preview of what that's like). If you do go that route, avoid the inflight meal ;)</description>
