WHAT ARE MUSHROOMS?





  • Magic mushrooms are a series of mushrooms that contain psilocybin or psilocin (and in some cases the related chemicals norbaeocystin and baeocystin).

  • Psilocybin & Psilocin are psychedelic drugs of the tryptamine family with effects similar to those of LSD.

  • Psilocybin mushrooms have been used by many indigenous cultures to induce altered states of consciousness during religious rituals for thousands of years.

HOW ARE
MUSHROOMS USED? 





  • Magic mushrooms are either eaten raw, mixed with food, or brewed into a tea. They can be eaten fresh or dried for later use.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF MUSHROOMS?





  • At low doses, magic mushrooms produce feelings of relaxation, somewhat similar
    to those of cannabis.

  • Users often report laughing a lot and finding things funnier than they would normally.


  • At higher doses, the experience is closer to that of LSD, intensifying colors and producing
    visual hallucinations and feelings of euphoria.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF MUSHROOMS?





  • A mushroom "trip" tends to last about four
    to five hours.

  • Users often report the mushroom experience
    to be more "earthy" than other psychedelics, increasing emotional awareness and causing less psychological confusion.


  • Many users find the mushroom experience
    to be spiritually significant while others
    find it frightening.

WHAT IS THE DOSAGE
OF MUSHROOMS?





EVERY INDIVIDUAL REACTS DIFFERENTLY TO EVERY CHEMICAL, this information is intended
to describe the range of dosages others report using and it should not be construed as a recommendation of any sort. Individuals can respond very differently to the same dosage.

WHAT IS SAFE FOR ONE CAN BE DEADLY
FOR ANOTHER.

WHAT IS THE DOSAGE
OF MUSHROOMS?





  • There is no predictable way of estimating the amount of psychoactive chemical in each mushroom. The amount is determined by the strain, size and age of the mushroom. Even mushrooms from the same strain and batch can vary greatly in strength.


  • For pure Psilocybin a dose ranges from
    5mg - 35mg.

  • For dried mushrooms a dose ranges from ¼ of a gram to 5 grams.

HARM REDUCTION
TIPS FOR MUSHROOMS 





  • As with all psychedelics, ‘set’ and ‘setting’ are extremely important. "Set" is the mental state a person brings to the experience, their thoughts, mood and expectations. "Setting" is the physical and social environment in which the drug is being consumed.

    By making sure that a person is in a good mental state and supportive location before mushrooms are used, the risk of ‘bad trips’ can be greatly mitigated.

HARM REDUCTION
TIPS FOR MUSHROOMS





  • Starting with a small amount before deciding to take more can prevent having too strong a trip, and minimize the chance of being poisoned from the wrong type of mushroom.

  • The biggest danger associated with magic mushrooms is misidentification. Some mushrooms are poisonous and cause stomach pains, vomiting, diarrhea and even death.

  • One possible way to identify psilocybin mushrooms is if they “bruise blue” in color when handled.

HARM REDUCTION
TIPS FOR MUSHROOMS





  • Some users report getting sick even after ingesting correctly identified magic mushrooms.

  • Magic mushrooms can impair judgment. Driving while under the influence of mushrooms is dangerous.

  • Magic mushrooms, like all hallucinogens, can trigger underlying mental disorders and cause schizophrenic-type symptoms.

HARM REDUCTION
TIPS FOR MUSHROOMS





  • Users sometimes have "bad trips," which can include confusion, anxiety and panic. In rare instances, users can experience recurring episodes of anxiety and panic (flashbacks) days, weeks or even months after a bad trip.


  • Magic mushrooms are illegal. Possession can result in long prison terms. Supplying mushrooms to someone else (whether or not money was exchanged) and growing mushrooms (even for personal use) can carry even longer sentences.
