Psilocybin mushrooms, more commonly known as just "mushrooms" or "shrooms" are hallucinogens. Since there have been depictions of them in cave art, it is thought that shrooms have been used since prehistoric times. The effects of mushrooms can last anywhere from three to eight hours and depend on the person. Thirty minutes to an hour after taking mushrooms, sensory effects (such as seeing lights, images and objects that change color, feeling as if you're melting, or even Synesthesia) set in. Finally, the emotional effects of mushrooms seem to vary depending on your environment. 4

Is it true that the psilocybin mushrooms can make you go insane after large and repeated intakes of them?

Psilocybin mushrooms, are fungi that contain the medicinal compounds psilocybin and psilocin. A more danger is that poisonous (sometimes lethal) wild picked mushrooms can be easily mistaken for psilocybin mushrooms, but true psilocybin mushrooms are non-toxic. Magic mushrooms contain psilocin and psilocybin psilocybin. These compounds are psychedelics. They will cause an effect similar to a "trip" on LSD. Loss of reality may be experienced and severe anxiety and paranoia can occur. You may experience a bad trip.


Does Klonopin block the effect of shrooms?

Klonopin is a benzodiazpine and benzodiazpines are known to reduce the effects of psychedelics, including "shrooms" (psilocybin mushrooms).


Do psilocybin mushrooms stronger when dry?

Yes. For some scientific reason, when the mushroom dries, the psilocybin becomes more concentrated.If the mushrooms are wet, you can still eat them and get the same effect, although it's much harder to accomplish due to the taste and amount you have to eat. The best way to get the same effect is to take the amount of mushrooms you would take normally and multiply it by 10 ( i.e. if I normally take 2 grams of dry mushrooms, I would want to take 20 grams of wet mushrooms to get the same effect).I would not suggest taking them wet, though. It really is hard to eat them all, and if you throw them up on the way down, you've wasted your money.


Do you trip more if you smoke shrooms?

No, smoking mushrooms would likely destroy the active chemicals (psilocybin, psilocin, etc.) and thus would produce less of an effect per gram, not more.


Are shrooms a depressant hallucinogen or stimulant?

Psilocybin is mostly a stimulant but it can also act as a depressant. It stimulates parts of the brain, producing its hallucinogenic effects. Psilocybin also stimulates stretch reflex (resist relaxing muscles), increases heart rate in many cases, and dilates pupils, but it is inconsistent. For example, lower blood pressure is a depressive effect which is common, but it is also common (to a lesser degree) to experience higher blood pressure.

Does food effect the way a color is seen?

Under normal circumstances food you eat has no impact on the way you perceive color. If the food you eat happens to be hallucinogenic mushrooms, you may experience enhancement and contrasting of colors, but this will end when the psilocybin in the mushroom wears off.


What are the uses of magic mushrooms?

Psilocybin mushrooms or magic mushrooms as they are more commonly referred to, have multiple medical uses as well as recreational. I'd like to focus on the medical, in studies that were conducted in the late 1950s to early 1960s psilocybin was shown to treat addiction and depression. Most psychedelics have a molecular structure that is similar to serotonin, when you're depressed you aren't receiving your endorphins. Psilocybin acts as the endorphin and releases itself into your reward system, the reason you most likely knew nothing about this is because the pharmaceutical companies do not benefit from this. The current pharmaceutical approach to treatment is with selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as Prozac, which increase levels of serotonin in the brain to improve moods. But SSRIs are not effective in everyone, and take time to show an effect and are generally prescribed for long periods of time to maintain their effect. Psilocybin has also quite recently proven to cure cluster headaches with a monthly dose. Recreationally the psychedelic is used to open the mind or third eye and see the world as we know it in a different light, it was used in religious ceremonies.


Is mixing hallucinogenic drugs with meth bad?

Combining hallucinogens (such as LSD or psilocybin-containing magic mushrooms) with methamphetamine can produce a greater euphoric effect. However, this combination is very risky, as this combination can also lead to extreme anxiety, paranoia, panic, and other serious effects. Thus, it is not recommended.
