The active compounds Psilocybin and Psylocin in magic mushrooms are not poisons. The reason you trip has nothing to do with being poisoned as you may experience from a very bad fever from a virus etc. The experience from the ingestion has more to do with what effect those chemicals have with your brains functioning. Those chemicals are very similar to various serotonin receptors in the brain. Its unclear why people experience what they do, but it has to do with various serotonin parts of the brain being excited etc.

I wouldn't ever recommend a pregnant women to take any sort of drug as there's not any research to show either way so play it safe.

1 thing to bear in mind is that a woman's reproductive system has methods of filtering out foreign elements, viruses and bacteria. For example a pregnant women infected with HIV for instant will not necessarily transmit it to the unborn baby.

But no one knows whether these compounds would or would not be passed down to the child and what effect it would have.

From what we do know, the actives contained with magic mushrooms are less toxic than paracetamol and do very little if no damage at all to an adult person. The only dangers are psychological, or in extreme cases allergic reaction.

What are the effects of mixing alcohol with magic mushrooms?

Alcohol If you are going to be drinking alcohol while using magic mushrooms then you should definitely be careful. If you eat the magic mushrooms while you are already drunk then all of the mental effects that being drunk has on you will go away when the trip from the magic mushrooms begins. If you were to be drinking a lot of alcohol or you eat a lot of magic mushrooms then the nausea which appears at the start of the trip from the magic mushrooms will be a lot worse. With magic mushrooms there is no real major benefit with drinking alcohol at the same time so it is not recommended. There is no reason why you should be experimenting with the two at the same time because each has a completely different reason for being used. If you are in a mood where you find that mushrooms will give you the experience that fits that mood then that is the drug you take but you should not find yourself in a mood where you feel like you need to mix drugs because no additional (positive) effects will come from it.
