So You're Stranded On a Deserted Island with some Mushrooms

So, like thousands of people each year, you've woken up stranded on a deserted island with no help in sight. Reaching into your pocket you find only a bag of some pretty intense magic mushrooms--only one dose!--which will never go bad.

QUESTION: Do you still take the Mushrooms and, if so, at what point in your cast away do you bring on these hallucinations? After a day? A month? When help arrives?

ONE THOUGHT: As soon as you're done with the initial freak out would be an opportune time. Once you're calm and have eaten a coconut, bring on the firey dragons. This might be when the most ingenious of brainstorming is going to take place for how to escape this island. If you can take your eyes off the flying purple snakes and just focus, maybe you can come up with a plan. Build a space ship out of fig leaves and feces and, you know what?, these are some damn good mushrooms, so thing might just work.

That's one thought. What's yours? Leave an idea in the comments section below.

  1. I would wait until I knew no one was coming to rescue me and that I was going to die, i mean if there was not food and what not, and then I would eat them and probably (hopefully) end up killing myself on mushrooms. I think that would be a pretty epic way to go out considering the situation....

  2. Most definitely, that would be a really really top notch trip. Epic indeed.
