Potency
The Hillbilly strain is known not for its potency but for its lack of it. It produces just 0.49% total tryptamines (0.23% psilocybin and 0.11% psilocin). While it may not appeal to those seeking highly psychedelic mushrooms, it’s perfect for those interested in microdosing psilocybin.
The strain’s tryptamine composition in these dried shrooms produced abnormally high levels of “norpsilocin.” Although a derivative of psilocin, norpsilocin is less potent in its psychedelic effects.
