WHAT ARE MAGIC MUSHROOMS?
Magic mushrooms are fungi that contain psychoactive compounds, primarily psilocybin and
psilocin. These substances induce altered states of consciousness, including visual and
auditory hallucinations, changes in perception, and enhanced introspection. They have been
used historically in various cultures for spiritual and therapeutic purposes.
How do they work?
Magic mushrooms work by binding to serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor, through their active compounds, psilocybin and psilocin. This interaction alters mood, perception, and cognition, leading to changes in sensory experiences, emotional states, and self-awareness.
What Are the Effects?
The effects of magic mushrooms include vivid visual and auditory hallucinations, altered sense of time, and enhanced emotional and sensory experiences. Users often report deep introspection, spiritual insights, and shifts in perception, which can lead to personal growth. At lower doses, like those used for microdosing, magic mushrooms can enhance cognitive function, boost creativity, sharpen focus, and improve overall well-being.
Side effects
Magic mushrooms can cause nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, especially during the onset of the experience. It’s not uncommon to feel pre-trip anxiety, confusion, and even paranoia if the setting is not supportive.
