This is a chemical compound obtained from specific types of hallucinogenic Psilocybin Mushrooms. It falls under the group of indole-alkylamines, more precisely tryptamines, and shares a structural resemblance with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). The compound attracts Psilocybin Mushrooms enthusiasts due to its hallucinogenic and euphoric characteristics. Its consciousness-changing effects originate from its engagement with serotonin (5-HT) receptors in the central nervous system.

Its impact affects the prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is responsible for abstract thought, mood regulation, and perception. Based on both anecdotal reports and scientific studies, a significant number of users report experiencing feelings of euphoria, transcendence, or mystical occurrences. Enhancements of colours and sounds change the perception of the environment, promoting a profound sense of openness, connection to the world, and deep introspection. Over 200 varieties of magic Psilocybin Mushrooms have been documented by Health Canada. Because of their similar characteristics, identifying these types can be challenging, increasing the risk of accidentally consuming toxic variants. This risk can be mitigated by dispensaries offering trusted and tested products. These dispensaries also provide educational blogs and research resources to educate interested readers and customers about safe usage practices and benefits.

Microdosing refers to the routine consumption of minute, barely noticeable doses of psychedelic substances. The protocol involves ingesting these tiny amounts on a weekly schedule, allowing for several days gap in between. When followed in this way, the benefits of this method can be experienced without disrupting daily life.

• Boost in mood
• Increase in energy
• Fostering of relaxation and body awareness
• Enhancement of meditation skills
• Improvement in creative thinking
• Elevated art appreciation
• Boosted productivity and concentration
• Emotional balance
• Diminishing stress levels

The interaction of this compound with serotonin receptors makes it pivotal to refrain from consuming substances that modify the serotonin system, such as SSRI antidepressants like Prozac. It's advisable not to combine it with Tramadol, as this might lead to Serotonin Syndrome. Concurrent use with amphetamines or other recreational 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 diminished capacity to differentiate between illusion and reality. Hallucinogens that affect serotonin can alter various physiological functions including mood, sensory perception, sleep, hunger, 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
• Disrupt sleep
• Evoke synesthetic experiences
• Provoke spiritual sensations
• Encourage relaxation or detachment from oneself and environment

• Think about refraining from eating for 4-12 hours to decrease the chances of nausea and improve your overall experience.
• Slowly drink water over a span of time to prevent potential headaches that may be induced by the psychological effects of the trip.
• Prior to starting your journey, direct your energy towards your expected outcome by setting distinct objectives. You can utilize a journal to record them or exhibit them as a guiding rule during the expedition.
• Create a serene environment by arranging your surroundings and adjusting the illumination to promote a feeling of tranquility.
• Put together a pack with items such as earplugs, health care supplies, snacks, and different layers of attire to accommodate temperature fluctuations.
• Reserve a day free of obligations post-journey for reflection and integration.

Generally, the duration fluctuates between 4 and 6 hours, peaking around 2 to 3 hours post ingestion. Some discomfort might be felt in the first hour. It's advisable to refrain from consumption during this time to prevent possible issues. During the peak of the journey, significant alterations to your senses and cognitive abilities might take place. This stage calls for a relaxed attitude and willingness to embrace any emerging sensations or thoughts.

• Chew and Swallow: Ensure that you chew thoroughly, or utilize a grinder if necessary.
• Tea: Make tea by infusing the dried form, adjust the quantity as needed, and add lemon, ginger, or honey to enhance the flavor.
• Psilocybin Mushrooms Smoothie: For a more enjoyable experience, blend it with fruits.
• Capsules: Use the powdered forms in capsules for simple dosage control.
• Lemon Tek: Soak in lemon or lime juice to expedite the onset.

In 2021, the Journal of Psychopharmacology undertook a study on this particular subject. The research utilized data from ten separate studies, with 288 participants, each administered doses of Psil that ranged from 20 to 30 mg per 70 kg of their body mass. The study could not find any significant correlation between the body weight of a participant and the effects across all three groups. This suggests that employing a fixed dosage could be feasible, cost-efficient, and as powerful as altering the dosage based on weight. Instead of concentrating on weight-based alterations, the recommendation is to commence with smaller doses, and gradually increase as one becomes more familiar with the psychedelic experience.
