This is a chemical compound derived from specific types of hallucinogenic Psilocybin Mushrooms. It falls under the indole-alkylamines category, particularly tryptamines, and shares a structural resemblance with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Fans of Psilocybin Mushrooms are attracted to this compound because of its hallucinogenic and euphoric effects. Its capacity to alter the mind arises from its interaction with serotonin (5-HT) receptors found 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 reportedly experience euphoria, transcendence, or mystical events, as evidenced by both scientific research and anecdotal accounts. Perception of the environment is altered through enhancements in colours and sounds, promoting an intense sense of openness, connection to the world, and profound introspection. Over 200 different types of magic Psilocybin Mushrooms have been documented by Health Canada. These varieties can be difficult to differentiate due to their similar characteristics, increasing the risk of accidentally consuming toxic versions. The risk can be minimized by dispensaries providing tested and trusted products. These dispensaries also offer educational blogs and research resources to inform readers and customers about safe usage practices and benefits.

Microdosing refers to the routine intake of minuscule, virtually unnoticeable amounts of psychedelic substances. This routine comprises ingesting these petite dosages weekly, ensuring a gap of several days in between. By adhering to this practice, the benefits of this method can be experienced without disrupting daily activities.

• Enhancement in mood
• Boost in energy levels
• Encouragement of relaxation and bodily awareness
• Advancement in meditation skills
• Increase in creative thinking
• Elevated art appreciation
• Augmented productivity and concentration
• Emotional balance
• Decrease in stress levels

This compound has interactions with serotonin receptors, thus it's essential to abstain from consuming substances that modify the serotonin system, like SSRI antidepressants including Prozac. It's advised not to combine it with Tramadol as it may lead to Serotonin Syndrome. Consuming it with amphetamines or other recreational substances may also have similarly harmful effects.

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 fantasy and reality. Hallucinogens that influence serotonin can alter numerous physiological functions like mood, sensory perception, sleep, appetite, body temperature, sexual behavior, and muscle control. Additional effects:

• Amplify emotions and sensory perceptions
• Alter the understanding of time
• Elevate physiological parameters like blood pressure and respiratory rate
• Diminish appetite
• Disrupt sleep
• Provoke synesthetic experiences
• Evoke spiritual sensations
• Encourage relaxation or detachment from oneself and surroundings

• Think about refraining from eating for 4-12 hours to minimize the likelihood of feeling nauseous and to improve your overall experience.
• Slowly hydrate over a span of time to prevent potential headaches which could be induced by the mental effects of the trip.
• Prior to the start of your journey, direct your energy towards your expected outcome by setting clear objectives. A journal can be used to record these or serve as a guiding beacon throughout your trip.
• Create a serene environment by decluttering your space and adjusting the lighting to encourage a peaceful ambiance.
• Prepare a kit with essentials such as earplugs, first aid items, light refreshments, and various clothing layers to accommodate temperature fluctuations.
• Reserve a commitment-free day following your trip for reflection and integration.

Usually, the duration can range from 4 to 6 hours, with the peak happening roughly 2 to 3 hours post ingestion. You might feel a bit uncomfortable during the first hour. Refrain from consuming during this time to dodge possible issues. During the trip's zenith, significant alterations in your sensory perception and cognitive abilities might take place. This stage necessitates a composed demeanor and willingness to embrace any emotions or perceptions that may arise.

• Chew and Swallow: Ensure thorough chewing or employ a grinder if necessary.
• Tea: Steep the dried version to make tea, modify the dosage as needed, and introduce lemon, ginger, or honey for flavor improvement.
• Psilocybin Mushrooms Smoothie: Mix it with fruits for a more enjoyable taste.
• Capsules: Include the powdered versions into capsules for convenient dosage control.
• Lemon Tek: Soak in lemon or lime juice to quicken the onset.

In 2021, the Journal of Psychopharmacology carried out an analysis on this subject. The study harnessed information gathered from ten separate research pieces, including 288 individuals who each took Psil dosages ranging from 20 to 30 mg per 70 kg of their body weight. The exploration did not find any noteworthy correlation between a person's body weight and the effects across all three groups. This suggests that the application 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-oriented adjustments, the recommendation is to begin with smaller doses and gradually escalate as one becomes more conversant with the psychedelic experience.
