This is a chemical compound obtained from specific types of hallucinogenic Psilocybin Mushrooms. It falls within the indole-alkylamines category, more precisely tryptamines, and shares a structural likeness with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Fans of Psilocybin Mushrooms are attracted to this compound because of its hallucinogenic and euphoric effects. Its ability to alter the mind originates from its interaction with the serotonin (5-HT) receptors found in the central nervous system.

The influence impacts the brain's prefrontal cortex, which is in charge of abstract thinking, mood regulation, and perception. Evidence from scientific research and first-hand accounts suggests that many users feel euphoria, enlightenment, or mystical occurrences. Perceptions of the environment are transformed by enhancements in colours and sounds, leading to a profound feeling of openness, connection with the world, and deep introspection. Over 200 types of magic Psilocybin Mushrooms have been documented by Health Canada. Given their similar characteristics, differentiating these species can pose a challenge, increasing the chance of accidentally consuming poisonous versions. The risk can be mitigated by dispensaries providing trusted and verified products. These dispensaries also offer educational blogs and research material to guide interested readers and customers on safe usage procedures and benefits.

Microdosing refers to the continual intake of minuscule, almost unnoticeable amounts of psychedelic substances. This approach involves consuming these tiny doses on a weekly schedule, with several days gap in between. Executed in such a way, the benefits of this method can be reaped without disrupting daily routine.

This compound interacts with serotonin receptors, thus it is essential to avoid consuming substances that modify the serotonin system, like SSRI antidepressants such as Prozac. Refrain from combining it with Tramadol as this could lead to Serotonin Syndrome. Its use in conjunction with amphetamines or other recreational substances can be just as harmful.

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

• Amplify emotions and sensory experiences
• Alter the perception of time
• Elevate physiological parameters such as blood pressure and respiratory rate
• Diminish appetite
• Disrupt sleep
• Provoke synesthetic experiences
• Elicit spiritual sensations
• Encourage relaxation or detachment from oneself and environment

• Think about refraining from eating for a period between 4 to 12 hours to lessen the chance of feeling nauseous and to improve your overall experience.
• Slowly hydrate yourself over time to prevent possible headaches induced by the psychological effects of the journey.
• Prior to starting your expedition, channel your energy towards your desired outcome by setting distinct objectives. You can document these in a journal or use them as your guiding principle throughout the journey.
• Create a serene environment by arranging your space and altering the lighting to encourage a feeling of calmness.
• Prepare a kit with essentials such as earplugs, first aid supplies, snacks, and various clothing layers to adjust to temperature fluctuations.
• Reserve a day free of obligations after the trip for reflection and integration.

Usually, the duration fluctuates between 4 and 6 hours, peaking around 2 to 3 hours post ingestion. There could be a minor discomfort during the first hour. It is advisable to refrain from consuming during this time to steer clear of possible complications. During the peak of the trip, there could be significant alterations in your sensory perceptions and mental processes. This stage calls for a serene mindset and acceptance of any emotions or insights that might emerge.

• Chew and Swallow: Ensure you chew well or use a grinder if necessary.
• Tea: Brew the dried version to make tea, adjust the amount as needed, and add lemon, ginger, or honey to improve the taste.
• Psilocybin Mushrooms Smoothie: Mix it with fruits to make it more flavorful.
• Capsules: Use the powdered forms in capsules for convenient dosage control.
• Lemon Tek: Soak in lemon or lime juice to hasten the onset.

In 2021, the Journal of Psychopharmacology performed a study on this subject. The research utilized data from ten separate studies, involving 288 participants who were each administered Psil dosages ranging from 20 to 30 mg per 70 kg of their body weight. The study failed to find any significant correlation between a person's body weight and the effects across all three groups. This suggests that the adoption of a fixed dosage could be feasible, cost-efficient, and just as effective as tailoring the dosage based on weight. Rather than concentrating on weight-based adjustments, the recommendation is to start with lower dosages and gradually increase as the individual becomes more familiar with the psychedelic experience.
