Psilocybin
Psilocybin, the naturally occurring alkaloid in magic mushrooms, when ingested, is broken down by your body into psilocin. Psilocin affects serotonin signalling to the brain, leading to higher serotonin levels. These raised serotonin levels are associated with the psychoactive effects (or trip) produced by the psilocin.
The hallucinogenic effect from a “regular dose” of psilocin on a human, typically results in a change in visual perception and colourful glowing geometric patterns. During a trip, a person may experience a general openness to new ideas and perceptions. It can also produce a new perception or wonderment in people, experiences, and environments. A magic mushroom trip can also often result in alteration of perception, time loss, emotional intensity, and introspection.
The effects of magic mushrooms can be a matter of perspective. A trip may not seem pleasant, but it is important to remember that the experience is not only transient but may end up producing positive results. Keeping those factors in mind helps you get through the experience in a positive way.
A Safe Way to Travel
What is now being recognized is that when it comes to recreational drugs, magic mushrooms appear to be the safest. They may, for some, be psychologically addictive, but not physically addictive.
Officially the safest way to trip is with a lowly mushroom. Magic mushrooms are non-addictive and non-toxic. Using those two standards, psilocybin is one of the safest recreational substances you can consume. Specifically, the physical and psychological dependence potential is low, acute toxicity is moderate, chronic toxicity is low, and there is a low risk to public health. Statistically, criminal activity related to magic mushroom use is negligible.
A ranking of a variety of drugs, based on a potential for causing harm to individuals and society, was made by a UK government’s former chief drug advisor. It found that mushrooms ranked lowest in terms of risk and posed little chance of harm to individuals and virtually no collateral harm to others.
Although it is difficult to know exactly how mushrooms will affect you, especially if you are trying them for the first time, there are measures you can take to make sure that your experience is a pleasant one.
The Positive Effects of Psilocybin Mushrooms
If taken responsively, magic mushrooms can produce very pleasurable effects, particularly if you find the dose that is right for you.
There are benefits from magic mushrooms in addition to pleasure. For those seeking to overcome unhealthy habits or addictions, boost their immunity, increase connectivity in the brain, lower cholesterol, fight ageing with antioxidants, and benefit from B, D, and K vitamins, they are finding that there are health and wellness benefits as well.
Pleasurable and Spiritual Effects:
When you find the right dosage level, and consume responsibly, mushrooms can produce extremely pleasurable effects. Microdosing has increased as people find that small, regularly administered amounts of psilocybin can reduce anxiety and improve mood. When properly prepared, a person can take higher doses and experience euphoric levels of enlightenment that produce overwhelming joy.
Many people use magic mushrooms to initiate breakthroughs in their personal lives. Taking reasonable amounts of mushrooms allows people to achieve personal spiritual growth and can overcome problems associated with the ego.
The Possibilities Are Growing
Psilocybin is being studied to investigate further its effect on mood. The precise process is still being studied with the use of test subjects, various emotional stimuli, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The researchers anticipate that this study will uncover exactly how and why psilocybin appears to be effective.
There are also studies underway that point to psilocybin possibly curbing the compulsive use of substances like tobacco and alcohol. This may be connected to psilocybin causing changes in brain plasticity (the formation of new or alternate connections between areas in the brain), resulting in attitude, mood, and behaviour modifications.
Although much remains to be studied and learned about the benefits of magic mushrooms, studies show that they can provide treatment for mental health conditions and help in the recovery from damaged neurons or tissue.
