This compound is a chemical derivative extracted from certain types of hallucinogenic Psilocybin Mushrooms. It falls within the indole-alkylamines family, particularly tryptamines, and shares a structural resemblance with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Fans of Psilocybin Mushrooms are attracted to this compound because of its hallucinogenic and euphoric characteristics. Its ability to alter the mind is due to its interaction with serotonin (5-HT) receptors found in the central nervous system.

Its influence affects the brain's prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for abstract thinking, mood regulation, and perception. Many users report feelings of euphoria, transcendence, or mystical experiences, corroborated by both scientific research and anecdotal evidence. The enhancement of colours and sounds alters the perception of one's surroundings, promoting a deep sense of openness, connection to the world, and profound introspection. Over 200 Psilocybin Mushrooms magic varieties have been documented by Health Canada. Because of their similar characteristics, distinguishing these types can be challenging, thereby increasing the risk of accidentally consuming toxic versions. The risk of accidental consumption can be mitigated by dispensaries providing trusted and tested products. In addition to this, these dispensaries also provide educational blogs and research materials to educate interested readers and customers about safe usage and benefits.

Microdosing is the act of consistently taking minuscule, nearly undetectable amounts of psychedelic substances. This schedule includes consuming these tiny doses on a weekly schedule, ensuring there are several days gap in between. When executed in this way, the benefits of this method can be reaped without disrupting daily life.

• Elevation in mood
• Increase in energy levels
• Encouragement of relaxation and bodily awareness
• Enhancement of meditation skills
• Boost in creative thinking
• Intensified admiration of art
• Augmented productivity and concentration
• Emotional balance
• Decrease in stress levels

This compound has interactions with serotonin receptors, hence it's vital to abstain from consuming substances that modify the serotonin system, such as SSRI antidepressants like Prozac. Refrain from combining it with Tramadol as this may lead to Serotonin Syndrome. Similarly, its concurrent use with amphetamines or other recreational substances can be just as harmful.

The effects it elicits are akin to other hallucinogens such as mescaline from peyote or LSD, including visual and auditory hallucinations and a reduced capacity to differentiate between illusion and reality. Hallucinogens that affect serotonin can alter various bodily functions including mood, sensory perception, sleep, appetite, body temperature, sexual behavior, and muscle control. Additional effects:

• Heighten emotions and sensory perceptions
• Alter the sense of time
• Elevate physiological parameters like blood pressure and respiratory rate
• Suppress appetite
• Disrupt sleep
• Provoke synesthetic experiences
• Instigate spiritual sensations
• Encourage relaxation or detachment from oneself and one's environment

• To mitigate the chances of feeling nauseous and to improve your overall experience, think about refraining from eating for a duration of 4-12 hours.
• To prevent potential headaches caused by the psychological effects of the trip, drink water slowly over a certain period.
• Prior to starting your journey, concentrate your energy on the outcome you expect by setting clear objectives. You could jot them down in a diary or use them as a guide throughout your adventure.
• Create a serene environment by arranging your space and adjusting the lights to promote a feeling of calm.
• Prepare a kit that includes items such as earplugs, first aid materials, snacks, and diverse clothing to accommodate different temperatures.
• Reserve a commitment-free day after the trip for reflection and integration.

Usually, the duration can range between 4 and 6 hours, with the peak happening around 2 to 3 hours post-ingestion. There might be a mild discomfort during the first hour. Refrain from consuming during this time to dodge possible issues. During the peak of the trip, significant alterations in your sensory and cognitive abilities may take place. This stage demands a serene demeanor and openness to any emotions or impressions that may arise.

• Masticate and Ingest: Ensure you chew well or utilize a grinder if necessary.
• Tea: Brew the dried version to make tea, modify the amount as needed, and include lemon, ginger, or honey to enhance the flavor.
• Psilocybin Mushrooms Smoothie: Combine it with fruits for a more enjoyable taste.
• Capsules: Utilize the powdered variants in capsules for convenient dosage control.
• Lemon Tek: Submerge in lemon or lime juice to expedite the onset.

In 2021, the Journal of Psychopharmacology carried out a research on this subject. The study incorporated data from ten separate investigations, with 288 participants each administered with Psil doses ranging from 20 to 30 mg per 70 kg of their body mass. The research found no substantial correlation between a person's body weight and the effects across all three categories. This suggests that the application of a fixed dose might be practical, cost-efficient, and just as effective as altering the dosage based on weight. Rather than concentrating on weight-related adjustments, the recommendation is to commence with lesser dosages and gradually escalate as one becomes more familiar with the psychedelic experience.
