I've only done mushrooms once, and I've never wanted a cigarette more in my life than during that experience.

Why is that? What was causing the craving? Can you elaborate? I've heard that alcohol and cocaine cause this.

IME mushrooms cause any low-consciousness activities like smoking/drinking/mindless partying to seem repulsive.

Repulsive is absolutely the right word for this effect.

Edit for one more thought on this: it also gave me an appreciation for vegans and vegetarians. I was eating chicken while tripping once and really had some inner conflict over if it was ok to eat another animal. I'll never be a vegetarian, but for a brief moment I understood what all my hippie friends are on about :)
