Scientists suggest that magic mushrooms could become an FDA-approved cure for anxiety and depression in the near future.
Marijuana is prescribed and used in medicine in America in 29 states and Washington, DC, and is used frequently and everywhere. However, US doctors are looking for new opportunities and now offer to use hallucinogenic mushrooms to treat anxiety and depression in patients who suffer from the symptoms of cancer.
How to use magic mushrooms?
One can consume hallucinogenic mushrooms both raw or dried. To get rid of the taste of psilocybin, mushrooms are mixed with other foods.
After drinking or eating shrooms, a person is in a euphoric state, he has visual, tactile, and auditory hallucinations, loss of time, and disorientation in space. Dilated pupils and increased sensitivity to light, itching, chills, incoordination – these are the effects of short-term action of psilocybin fungi.
In the case of eating mushrooms in large quantities, a person experiences panic and develops psychosis, this is due to the fact that under the influence of hallucinogenic mushrooms, a person can not distinguish fantasy from reality.
What are the most common ways to eat mushrooms?
Since most people find the taste of mushrooms strong, bitter, and quite unpleasant, they mix them with a sweet drink to mask its intense taste. Any smoothie or fruit juice will go great. If your mushrooms are dried, grind them in a coffee grinder or, if that doesn’t work, crush them by hand, or mash them with a kitchen pestle, or even, you can just cut them with a sharp knife.
The more you chop the mushrooms, the easier it will be for the stomach to digest them. Keep in mind that mushrooms can have a severe effect on the gastrointestinal tract, so it is normal to observe symptoms of moderate poisoning after taking them, such as nausea (sometimes leading to vomiting), headache, drowsiness, and muscle weakness.
To reduce nausea and stomach symptoms, some users recommend preparing an infusion of magic mushrooms. Mushroom tea is mainly a home extract of psilocybin, which is much easier to digest.
For mushroom tea, simply chop the dried shrooms as finely as possible and put them in boiling water, let it soak for about fifteen minutes. Filter out leftover mushrooms and enjoy. The effect comes quickly because the stomach does not need to break down fungi. The overall trip can also be shorter, but more intense because mushrooms poured into the water will not go through a slow digestion process.
Feel free to add herbs and honey to the water to improve the taste of your mushroom tea. You can simply add your favorite tea bag or experiment by mixing mushrooms with natural herbs such as lavender, ginger, or chamomile.
Are psilocybin mushrooms addictive?
Psilocybin does not cause physical dependence and withdrawal syndrome. But with regular consumption of mushrooms increases tolerance to the substance, and to achieve the former effect a person needs a higher dosage.
That is why proper dosage is critical to have a safe experience and clear minds. If you have never tried magic shrooms we recommend starting with “microdose” or a “tripping” low dose. They will make you feel slightly different, more productive, creative, and empathetic.
