Magic mushrooms are naturally-occurring non-poisonous fungi which contain varying amounts of the conscious-altering substances psilocybin and psilocin. There is a special category of users of this kind of drug, and, generally, they use to eat these mushrooms or drink them in a tea in order to experience a powerful psychedelic trip similar in tone and effect to LSD.

Mushrooms ingested to experience drug effects, like euphoria, contain psilocybin and create a similar psychedelic experience as taking LSD. They can be eaten raw or dried and made into a tea. These types of mushrooms are also known as magics, mushies, shrooms, or liberty caps and are small and tan in color. Get help in attending a mushroom rehab.

When eaten or drunk in a tea, they combine readily and hungrily with the brain to evoke a powerful psychedelic trip experience, shorter-lived but similar in tone and effect to LSD.

Worldwide you can find more than 90 species of these magic mushrooms. Common varieties include UK and Northern Europe’s ‘Liberty Caps’ (Psilocybe semilanceata) and North America’s Psilocybe cubensis. The world’s most famous magic mushroom is the European Fly Agaric (amanita muscaria), the red-and-white spotted toadstool which often pops up in children’s literature. However, it contains not psilocybin, but ibotenic acid and muscimol which have very different effects.

Mushrooms are light to dark brown in color and come in fresh, dried or powdered forms. All of them taste disgusting. They smell distinctively “mushroomy” and are impossible to confuse with any other powdered drug. The usual dosage for mushrooms varies from between one and five grams. Experienced users may take more. Tripping alone for the first time is not recommended. An experienced and trusted friend should either join you, or should abstain and act as a sober sitter or guide to just be around and to help you if you start suffering a bad trip.

We strongly recommend to everyone reading this article to stay out of magic mushrooms abuse, however, if you or someone close to you have problems with magic mushrooms addiction, we suggest you to visit Drug Rehab Centers Canada.
