The compound inmagic mushrooms makes you trip. Changes in your brain may help combat depression and addiction. Oregon, the first state to legalise magic mushrooms, is debating which species of mushrooms to allow in the future. They are leaning towards one that doesn't grow on wood to avoid Wood Lovers paralysis, a rare, temporary muscle weakness that may be linked to wood-grown mushrooms. Insider was told what it was like by 2 people who experienced wood lover's paralysis. Some people say they have become temporarily paralyzed after eating magic mushrooms, which is an unknown risk that Oregon officials are taking very seriously. I couldn't chew.

Bob, a regular user of magic mushrooms, told Insider that he had experienced wood lovers paralysis, also known as WLP, three times. He said that on one occasion, Bob was crossing the street and his legs collapsed beneath him. I had no control over them. I could not bend at the knees. He said that he began to drag his body off the street with the help of his friend. WLP isn't proven to be a side effect of wood-grown mushrooms, but the expert panel guiding state decisions on how to roll out the drug is. It is likely that Oregon will ban magic mushroom species in order to avoid the risk of WLP. The accounts of WLP were not trivial and posed some very serious concerns, according to a member of Oregon's Psilocybin Advisory Board.

There have been hundreds of reports of people saying they are unable to control parts of their body after taking magic mushrooms, according to Dr. Simon Beck, a former psychiatrist who co-ran a survey of 400 magic mushroom users in Australia. He warned that we don't know how often it happens because there is no database to report it. He said that they don't think it is all that common compared to how many people are out there picking and eating wood-loving mushrooms. Some mushrooms are associated with WLP. There are two species of plants found in the US and Europe. There is a plant from Australia. Not everyone who ingests mushrooms will experience WLP, and we don't know why. Beck said it was difficult to convince people that WLP existed. There were no reports of people needing hospital treatment or dying from not being able to breathe from WLP. Beck said that about 40% of people in his survey experienced WLP as a temporary weakness that got worse with movement and better with rest. Beck said WLP was not the result of being too intoxicated and feeling heavy. The wood lovers paralysis is the true weakness. He said that you couldn't move even if you had to. Beck warned of accidents from WLP, such as falling off push bikes and near-miss car accidents, up to three days after the effects of the drug had worn off. You are sure that you are back to normal. He said that your arm gave out where you were trying to steer. Users told Insider that there isn't much you can do if it happens, apart from resting and waiting for the effects to wear off. Beck said it was hard to give harm reduction advice for a syndrome that came on randomly. He said that the cautious approach is sensible for a new system that is going to be looked at by the rest of the world as an example of how to do things safely.
