This chemical compound, which comes from certain hallucinogenic Psilocybin Mushrooms, is part of the indole-alkylamines group, more specifically tryptamines, and shares a structural resemblance with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Enthusiasts of Psilocybin Mushrooms are attracted to this compound because of its hallucinogenic and euphoric qualities. The alteration it causes to one's mental state results from its bond with the serotonin (5-HT) receptors in the central nervous system.

Its influence affects the prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is responsible for abstract thought, mood regulation, and perception. A significant number of users report feelings of euphoria, transcendence, or mystical experiences, as confirmed by both scientific studies and anecdotal evidence. The enhancement of colours and sounds reshapes the perception of the environment, leading to a profound feeling of openness, connection with the world, and deep introspection. Health Canada has documented over 200 magic Psilocybin Mushrooms variants. Owing to their similar characteristics, it can be challenging to differentiate these types, increasing the potential for unintentional consumption of toxic versions. The risk can be mitigated by dispensaries providing trusted and verified products. These dispensaries also generate educational blogs and research materials to educate interested readers and customers about the safe usage and benefits.

The act of microdosing involves the frequent intake of minuscule, nearly undetectable amounts of psychedelic substances. This schedule involves consuming these slight doses weekly, ensuring a few days gap between each dose. When executed in this way, the benefits of this methodology can be reaped without it disrupting daily life.

The interaction of this compound with serotonin receptors necessitates avoiding the consumption of substances that modify the serotonin system, such as SSRI antidepressants like Prozac. Avoid combining it with Tramadol due to the potential development of Serotonin Syndrome. Similarly, its use with amphetamines or other leisure substances could be equally harmful.

It induces effects akin to other hallucinogens such as mescaline from peyote or LSD. These effects encompass visual and auditory hallucinations, along with a reduced capacity to differentiate between illusion and reality. Hallucinogens that affect serotonin can alter various physiological functions like mood, sensory perception, sleep, appetite, body temperature, sexual behavior, and muscle control. Additional effects:

• Amplify emotions and sensory perceptions
• Alter the perception of time
• Elevate physiological parameters like blood pressure and respiratory rate
• Diminish appetite
• Disturb sleep patterns
• Provoke synesthetic experiences
• Initiate spiritual sensations
• Encourage relaxation or a sense of detachment from oneself and the environment

• Think about fasting for a period of 4-12 hours to mitigate the chance of feeling sick and to improve your overall experience.
• Sip water slowly over time to prevent the possibility of headaches which could be brought on by the psychological effects of the trip.
• Prior to embarking on your journey, channel your energy towards your expected outcome by setting clear goals. You can jot them down in a diary or use them as a guiding light throughout the trip.
• Create a peaceful ambiance by arranging your environment and adjusting the lighting to instill a feeling of serenity.
• Prepare a pack with essentials such as earplugs, first aid supplies, refreshments, and various clothing layers to adjust to fluctuating temperatures.
• Reserve a day free of obligations after the trip for reflection and integration.

Usually, the duration ranges between 4 and 6 hours, with the peak happening around 2 to 3 hours post-consumption. Mild discomfort might be felt during the first hour. Refrain from consuming during this stage to prevent possible issues. During the peak of the experience, significant alterations in your sensory perceptions and cognitive abilities may take place. This stage calls for a tranquil demeanor and an open mind towards any emotions or perceptions that may arise.

• Chewing and Swallowing: Ensure you chew properly, if necessary use a grinder.
• Tea: Steep the dried form to make tea, modify the dosage as needed, and include lemon, ginger, or honey to improve the flavor.
• Psilocybin Mushrooms Smoothie: Mix it with fruits for a more enjoyable taste.
• Capsules: Integrate the powder forms into capsules for effortless dosage control.
• Lemon Tek: Soak in lemon or lime juice to expedite the onset.

In 2021, a study on this subject was conducted by the Journal of Psychopharmacology. The research utilized data from ten different studies, with 288 participants each receiving Psil dosages ranging from 20 to 30 mg for every 70 kg of their body weight. No significant relationship between a person's body weight and the effects across all three groups was found in the investigation. This suggests that the use of a standard dose might be practical, cost-saving, and as effective as adjusting the dosage based on weight. Instead of making weight-based adjustments, the recommendation is to start with lesser doses and gradually escalate as the individual grows more familiar with the psychedelic experience.
