I know this is a very dumb question but what is schrooms? I may have misspelled it. Sorry. I heard it mentioned by the DA today.

Does it make someone become extremely combative and violent?

IMO

Mushrooms. :laughing:No idea about effects. Need to research.

Katydid beat me to it with much better information.:blushing:

shrooms= mushrooms= PEYOTE

They are not usually considered a violent high. Often people get 'deep' into thought and emotions. But it is a hallucinogen and one never knows what can happen.

LOL! Ok now I know for sure I sound dumb but I don't know what PEYOTE means?

So it makes one hallucinate?

Is it something to do with mushrooms?

Sorry Katy. I really don't know anything about illegal drugs or prescription drugs for that matter.

OK I am going to read up on it now.

They are not usually considered a violent high. Often people get 'deep' into thought and emotions. But it is a hallucinogen and one never knows what can happen.

I did a little more research. Peyote is from a cactus. Here's some info on mushrooms from the website "Above the Influence":

"Mushrooms work by disrupting how your nerve cells and the neurotransmitter serotonin interact throughout the brain and spinal cord. By changing the normal functioning of serotonin in the brain, mushrooms distort the way you process information and can make you hallucinate.1
When you hallucinate, it becomes difficult to tell the difference between fantasy and reality. You may see, feel and hear things that don’t exist. You can also have rapid and intense emotional mood swings.1 This shift in perception can be frightening. It can cause panic attacks and psychosis (a complete loss of contact with reality).2 In this state of mind, it’s easy for unexpected and dangerous – or even fatal – accidents to happen."

In the short term, adverse physical side effects can include nausea, sickness, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhoea - after all you are eating a fungus! Psychologically there could be feelings of paranoia and being out of control if you take too much.

Well, IMO his ingestion of the mushrooms could certainly explain his behaviors both prior to the arrival of LE and during his interaction with the officer. Even if his mother isn't willing to accept his prior arrests as evidence for a propensity for violent behavior, surely she can see how his ingestion of the mushrooms and behaviors reported by friends and strangers led to the altercation with the officer and the ultimate use of deadly force.

Very extensive amount of information....I particularly like the question "Do 'magic mushrooms' affect the growth of the p****?" :thinking::giggle:

 

[ShadyLady]

I think he was on something "else". They will do a drug screen I am sure.

Anyone seen Crump/Parks in Madison? If not I suspect we will soon.

Didn't the DA also state tox screen showed pot, and a pain killer, I want to say Ativan? Not sure if I'm remembering the correct drug.

No, no, no, no, no, please just NO!

Toxicology reports confirmed that Robinson had taken hallucinogenic mushrooms, marijuana and Xanax before the shooting, the district attorney said, and 911 calls reported that he was acting "insane" and attacking people.

BBM.

Video of Anderson Cooper's interview with TR's mother at link, also.

I think even they are steering clear of this situation. With the damning 911 calls, and reports of assaulting 2 people prior to the cops arriving, even defense attorneys see the indefensible, imo.

Thank you, I knew I heard that there were 3 drugs found in his system, and all I could think of was that doesn't sound like a good combo.

For anyone interested.....Investigative Report

wonder why the DA waited so long to announce? he received this on March 27th

But, if he was taking one of those new designer drugs, would they even know how to test for it?

Tony Robinson Shooting: No Charges for Wisconsin Police Officer

Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne called the shooting of Robinson, 19, on March 6 by Officer Matt Kenny a "lawful use of deadly police force," saying that Robinson had Xanax, mushrooms and marijuana in his system and that multiple witnesses told investigators Robinson was "tweaking out" on mushrooms, jumping in front of cars and intimidating bystanders.

Ozanne's office released hundreds of pages of reports detailing Kenny's and Robinson's history at the end of March. Kenny also fatally shot a suspect in 2007, according to the documentation and police reports at that time. He was cleared of wrongdoing.

$3.35 million settlement for Wisconsin family of black teen killed by officer

Relatives of an unarmed black teenager who was fatally shot by a police officer will receive $3.35 million to settle a federal civil rights lawsuit filed in Wisconsin, attorneys announced on Thursday.

Kenny now works with the department's training program and horse-mounted patrol unit often used to control crowds. Madison Police Chief Mike Koval said though Kenny has earned the right to return to active patrol, there are no plans for him to do so.
