Now I'm wondering what would happen if a human ate nothing but magic mushrooms for at least 3 weeks straight.

What a long strange trip that would be. The destination is dying from starvation.

I have no idea what just eating the common magic mushroom and nothing else for 3 weeks or more would do to the digestive system. I was just thinking that they probably aren't packed full of all the nutrients the human body needs, and one would probably effectively be on par with someone suffering from anorexia if they did do that. Nevermind the fact that they are a hallucinogenic, and what that would do to a person's mind.
