Are Magic Mushrooms Addictive?

Magic mushrooms vary widely in their applications, impacts, and chemical makeup. Historically, shamans utilized these mushrooms for spiritual and religious rituals, whereas the hippie movement embraced them for their recreational benefits.

Along the way, it was discovered that the shrooms held the potential of becoming powerful therapeutic agents that could help with conditions such as depression, anxiety, and addiction.

While a substantial number of people have embraced magic mushrooms, there are still some uncertainties surrounding the fungi. For example, many people have this question lingering in their minds: are magic mushrooms addictive?

 

Magic Mushrooms are not addictive

Are magic mushrooms addictive? The answer is no; it is not possible to become addicted to or dependent on magic mushrooms. Addiction can be defined as the inability of an individual to stop using a substance despite the adverse side effects attached to its use. An addict will continue seeking the drug even after witnessing or experiencing health, family, or social problems brought about by its consumption.

When a person becomes dependent on a substance, they cannot function at full capacity without consuming the drug. They experience physical and mental withdrawal symptoms, such as sweating, anxiety, vomiting, insomnia, and general body pain.

Drugs such as alcohol and opioids may require an individual to go to rehab to overcome the addiction, but with psilocybin, ceasing use does not require any professional intervention.

 

Magic mushroom tolerance

Consuming shrooms regularly will lead to the body building up a tolerance. With each dose, the body adapts to the psilocybin, making it impossible to attain the same results with a set quantity of the fungi. Increasing the dosage becomes imperative in order to enjoy the myriad of benefits it offers.  

However, regular consumption over a long period may render the drug ineffective regardless of the dose quantity. With such a high tolerance for psilocybin, an individual’s system becomes tolerant of other types of hallucinogens, such as LSD, ayahuasca, and MDMA. This is referred to as cross-tolerance.

Can you overdose on magic mushrooms?

Consuming an overdose of magic shrooms may lead to effects such as terrifying hallucinations, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, or coma. The toxicity levels of mushrooms are too low for it to be fatal even when taken in excess.

For magic mushrooms to be fatal, you will have to consume a thousand times the regular dose. This makes it nearly impossible for anyone to die from an overdose. 

An overdose episode of shrooms takes around 8 hours to end, although the consumer might still experience some side effects for days.

Best practices when it comes to magic mushroom consumption

To avoid psilocybin tolerance, always ensure you take the recommended dose of magic mushrooms when tripping. Do not overdose or take the shrooms regularly. Tripping once or twice a month is sufficient to achieve your spiritual, recreational, therapeutic, or religious needs.

Ensure you are in the right state of mind and that the set and setting is favorable to mushroom consumption.

 

Take away

Magic mushrooms are not addictive, and it’s almost impossible to die from an overdose. However, regular use can lead to tolerance, which means you will have to take higher doses of psilocybin to achieve the results you once did on a lower dose. Always ensure you take shrooms rarely, safely, within the recommended dose.

Single Dose of Psilocybin Can Repair the Loss of Neural Connections Resulting from Depression – Yale Study Confirms

Over the last ten years, psychedelics have garnered growing interest from authoritative bodies, including Health Canada and the FDA. Studies exploring their potential to enhance the mental and physical well-being of countless individuals are being conducted worldwide. The FDA has labeled psilocybin, a component of magic mushrooms, as a ‘breakthrough therapy.’ This designation indicates its significant potential in treating and managing depression and stress.

According to a new study by Yale researchers, psilocybin can repair the loss of neural connection resulting from depression and stress. While there have been numerous studies indicating the same, this is the first that explains how the whole process happens. Depression and stress damage the brain’s connections over time, interfering with signal transmission. A single dose of psilocybin reverses the damage and brings the cells to perfection.

According to the scientists, psilocybin caused a 10% increase in neural connection and increased their strength and size by 10%, making them better and more effective in accomplishing their tasks.

neural connections

Details of the Study

Yale researchers conducted a study on mice to investigate the effects of psilocybin on damaged neural connections. The mice were given a single dose of the psilocybin, and their dendritic spines were observed under a high-resolution microscope. Within 24 hours, the researchers noted a significant change in the condition, size, and the number of dendritic spines.

What are dendritic spines? They are tiny protrusions that aid in the transmission of neural signals in the brain. They also play the secondary role of synaptic strength storage. When an individual goes through depression or chronic stress, the dendritic spines are damaged.

After a month, the researchers noted that the changes in the condition of the dendritic spines were still there. This showed that a single dose of psilocybin has long-lasting, positive effects on damaged neural connections.

 

Take Away

Psychedelic trips induced by psilocybin may offer life-changing effects to patients suffering from depression and chronic stress. This is positive news, especially when considering that millions of individuals are severely affected by these two conditions. Finding a permanent solution to a global issue is always something to celebrate.

Magic mushrooms have for a long time being associated with a myriad of mental and physical benefits. This is the first study that illustrates precisely how this happens. Although the study was conducted on mice, it offers hope as an effective treatment for neural damage in humans. There is a need to conduct more research to validate this study’s findings.

mistakes

5 Mistakes to Avoid During Your Psychedelic Trip

A psychedelic journey can serve as either a form of leisure or carry a deeper intention. Most individuals who consume mushrooms seek a transformative adventure that positively reshapes their life’s trajectory. Following the experience, one often finds themselves more insightful, harmonious with their environment, and receptive to new concepts, values, and viewpoints.

However, there are a series of events that might lead to a bad experience. With an experienced trip sitter, it is easier to overcome any unforeseen outcomes and have a smooth trip. On very rare occasions, one may need to end up in an emergency room.

To avoid such instances, you need to avoid the five mistakes that we have highlighted below:

mistakes

1. Not Being Prepared

Before embarking on your psychedelic trip, ensure that you are imparted with the necessary knowledge on the ins and outs of shroom consumption. This is especially true if you are an amateur or casual consumer.

Ensure you know what is normal and what is not so that you can seek assistance at the right time. Research on the correct dosage that will allow you to achieve your intended results, look into the set and setting, and ways to heighten your experience.

 

2. Overlooking the Set and Setting

The set and setting refer to the consumer’s state of mind and the surroundings. Shrooms have a way of amplifying our innermost fears and emotions. If you trip on an unsettled mind frame, chances of experiencing a bad trip double, if not triple. Be mentally prepared for the trip and shake off any fears and doubts.

Additionally, where you trip and the company you choose play a significant role in determining how settled you will be during the entire journey. Choose a room you are comfortable in and adjust the lights and temperatures to an ideal setting. You could also trip outside as you enjoy nature. Take your time and choose a place that is free of people or any disturbance.

 

3. Mixing Shrooms with Other Mind-altering Substances like Alcohol

Combining shrooms and other substances like alcohol is a recipe for disaster. It is nearly impossible to predict the outcome and, in most cases, a bad trip is guaranteed.

To get the most from magic mushrooms, take them alone. This way, you can experience a full and uninterrupted trip. Substances like alcohol have been known to lower one’s inhibitions and impair judgement. You may also end up experiencing paranoia, nausea, and vomiting.

 

4. Forgetting to Stay Hydrated

Some of the side effects of tripping include dry mouth and cold sweats. To stay ahead of the situation, stay hydrated before, during, and after the trip. Every article on ‘having a good psychedelic trip’ emphasizes the need to drink plenty of water, and you shouldn’t take this lightly.

 

5. Not Having a Trip Sitter Around

A trip sitter is an individual who babysits the psychedelic consumer to ensure their trip is as smooth a possible. Their role includes assuring the consumer that everything is okay and ensuring that they are in the right set and setting to commence and complete the trip.

A sitter has substantial experience in psychedelic consumption and is usually someone that the consumer trusts and feels comfortable around.

 

Take Away

Avoiding these rookie mistakes will guarantee a safe, memorable and impactful psychedelic trip. Remember to let go of all distractions that may hinder you from attaining your full potential.

 

Shrooms have been associated with numerous therapeutic and spiritual benefits, and you are just a purchase away from attaining the benefits. At Magic Mushroom Dispensary, there is always something for everyone. Sign up and get access to a vast collection of dried shrooms, edibles, and capsules.

Psilocybin for Athletes

Globally, there’s a revival in the use of psychedelics. The previously misguided and prejudiced perspectives on these substances are gradually shifting towards recognition. An increasing number of individuals are exploring the vast advantages of hallucinogens, with athletes leading the charge.

According to researchers, different psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD, ayahuasca, DMT ibogaine, and ketamine are highly beneficial to athletes due to their ability to heal and manage mental conditions like anxiety, stress, and depression.

Major sports associations like the UFC are looking into how psychedelics can help their athletes with brain health. Notable celebrity athletes like Mike Tyson, Riley Cote, Lamar Odom, and Ian McCall have come out to say how psychedelics helped them overcome addiction, brain injuries, and mental health conditions.

Below, we look at how psilocybin from magic mushrooms can help athletes with their performance and overall physical and mental health.

 

Psilocybin Rewires the Brain

brain 2

Athletes who engage in high-impact games like hockey and wrestling are subject to numerous body blows, and some might end up on the head. Such blows may lead to concussions, which could have adverse long-term effects on the athlete, leading to headaches, insomnia, migraines, dizziness, aggression, and in some cases, suicidal tendencies.

Results gathered from a 2018 study indicated that psychedelics like psilocybin could rewire the brain by facilitating the increase of neural connections.

 

Psilocybin Enhances Convergent and Divergent Thinking

Did you know that psilocybin can improve cognitive function? According to recent studies, microdosing psilocybin does enhance divergent and convergent thinking. For athletes, this means that they can perform optimally during matches. They can come up with better strategies that give them the upper hand against an opponent.

 

Psilocybin Increases Focus

A psilocybin ‘trip’ can cause ego dissolution. With ego death, a person becomes the best version of themselves: they let go of the negative state of mind, competitiveness, and selfishness. This allows them to immerse themselves in the game entirely.

An athlete’s level of focus can make or break the game. With the help of psilocybin, the plays can keep their mind on the activity ahead of them. When the athlete is focused, the body and mind become one: the individual experiences balance and quicker, more precise reflexes.

 

Psilocybin Improves Cardiovascular Endurance

endurance 1

Small to moderate doses of psilocybin can help improve cardiovascular endurance. With magic mushrooms, an athlete can get a boost in their physical stamina. This happens since the heart is able to pump extra blood that boosts their stamina during any activity they engage in.

As a result, the athlete can perform better and for a longer duration without feeling fatigued.

 

Psilocybin Helps Curb Performance-Related Anxiety and Stress 

When an athlete is faced with mental distress, their performance dwindles. Stress and anxiety are some of the leading factors that push athletes to drug and substance abuse.

Psilocybin alleviates mental conditions by working on serotonin receptors, which are responsible for improved moods. With the mental issues handled, the athlete can concentrate fully on the game and give it his best. The psychedelic has also been known to help with pain and inflammation

Additionally, psilocybin offers an effective and natural solution for all athletes who struggle with various types of addictions. Hundreds of athletes like Riley Cote have attested to its effectiveness.

 

Take Away

Psilocybin has so many benefits to offer athletes. However, the necessary research needed to push for its legalization is still limited. In the next few years, the hope is that the stigma around psychedelics will be discarded and that more countries, states, and provinces will embrace the therapeutic potential that psilocybin possesses.

All About the Different Types of Hallucinations

Exploring Various Hallucination Types

What are Hallucinations?

Hallucinations are illusions that affect one or more of our five senses. They cause sensory experiences that seem completely real, whereas it is all in the mind. An example includes hearing voices while alone in the house or seeing images that the person next to you doesn’t.

 

What Causes Hallucinations?

Several factors can cause sensory hallucinations, such as;

  • Mental conditions like dementia, delirium, and schizophrenia
  • Side effects of certain medications
  • Neurological conditions like epilepsy
  • Lack of sleep
  • Excessive consumption of alcohol
  • Taking drugs such as psilocybin, amphetamines, ecstasy, LSD, and cocaine

 

Types of Hallucinations:

 

Visual Hallucinations 

Visual hallucinations can be described as seeing a distorted version of things in your surroundings. These distortions are primarily experienced by individuals who consume psychedelic drugs such as LSD, psilocybin, PCP, DMT, Ayahuasca, and others.

The hallucinations range from mild to extreme: in low doses, users have a pleasant experience characterized by visualizing extra vivid colors, discovering new patterns that they wouldn’t normally notice, and seeing halos around familiar objects.

Higher doses can result in seeing objects, people, or shapes that are not there, which can cause a lot of confusion and inability to decipher what is real and what is not.

Sometimes, the users may experience sudden mood changes as the hallucinations shift from mild to extreme.

 

Auditory Hallucinations 

This hallucination type involves hearing voices that are non-existent or hearing a distorted version of what was originally said. The voices can range from low to loud and from pleasantly friendly to frighteningly intimidating.

Auditory hallucinations primarily affect individuals with certain mental conditions like schizophrenia or psychosis; however, psychedelic drugs can also be the cause.

 

Tactile Hallucinations 

Tactile hallucinations present as whole-body sensations that appear real but aren’t. It is purely physical, and the brain is tricked into believing that something or someone is touching them.

In extreme cases, the user will experience intense fear as they feel things, mostly bugs crawling inside their skin. Users of crystal meth might find this illusion too real that they end up hurting themselves, trying to eliminate the bugs. Eventually, their skin ends up scarred and exposed to infections.

 

Olfactory hallucinations

These types of hallucinations affect an individual’s sense of smell, such that they smell non-existent odors. They are associated with epilepsy and neurological damage.

Olfactory hallucinations are quite rare, but when they occur, an individual is subjected to a lot of stress due to their inability to tell apart real smells from hallucinated ones.

 

Gustatory hallucinations

Gustatory hallucinations affect your sense of taste in that your palate experiences unpleasant and strange flavors, often with hints of metal that do not exist. They mainly affect epileptic patients, though they are sporadic.

 

Treatment for hallucinations

The treatment depends on the root cause of the hallucinations: if it’s a health condition, a medical practitioner might suggest drugs that suppress the illusions.

For people whose hallucination results from lack of sleep, a better sleeping routine is encouraged. The patient may be prescribed some drugs to facilitate regular, uninterrupted, and peaceful sleep.

Managing alcohol consumption may be beneficial in reducing hallucinogenic episodes.

Ceasing from taking drugs or microdosing might offer the best solution to drug-related hallucinations. Microdosing on psychedelics allows the user to tap into the myriad of therapeutic benefits compounds like psilocybin have to offer without experiencing the side effects.

 

Magic Mushrooms Dispensary is the Canadian home for top-shelf magic mushroom products. When you visit our site, you can be guaranteed a wide range of shroom products at competitive prices. We also have special sales and deals that you can take advantage of and save some bucks.

Microdosing Shrooms to Reduce Anxiety and Boost Productivity

Over the past ten years, microdosing has emerged as a leading trend. Individuals are exploring the medicinal benefits of substances like magic mushrooms and LSD in small quantities to avoid a complete psychedelic experience.

The trend began with the tech-savvy individuals at Silicon Valley. Microdosing was and is their way of gaining a competitive edge on their colleagues and competitors in a world where creating the next big tech-centered company could earn someone millions if not billions of dollars.

Microdosing on shrooms has been associated with a myriad of benefits, such as improved productivity, reduced anxiety and depression levels, enhanced focus, and elevated concentration levels.

According to the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition, psychedelics were linked to treating several mental health conditions in the 50s and 60s. Unfortunately, the global war against drugs prevented the advancement of psychedelic-centered research.

Anecdotal evidence from shroom microdosers indicates microdosing is an effective way to stay productive and curb different forms of anxiety. According to them, small doses of psilocybin have positively altered their lives. Since they started microdosing, they have become the best version of themselves.

 

What is microdosing?

Microdosing involves taking small quantities of shrooms, usually a tenth of a trip-inducing dose, 2 to 3 times a week. This is done for a few weeks or months. A microdosing dosage is generally between 100mg and 200mg of dried mushrooms (it can be in raw forms, capsules, or as edibles).

The small doses allow the consumer to stick to their daily routine, such as working, caring for the children, and travelling.

productivity 1

 

Research looking into the effectiveness of microdosing in alleviating anxiety and boosting productivity

A qualitative study conducted by analyzing YouTube videos and the consequent discussion on microdosing indicates that microdosing on shrooms helped lower anxiety levels for a majority of the participants.  

Small doses of psilocybin work by curbing feelings and tendencies that trigger anxiety and the need to hide in a shell. Individuals with anxiety noted that microdosing helped them become more self-loving, confident, and happier.

The same study looked into the relationship between microdosing and increased productivity. The conclusions made indicated that psilocybin does help boost convergent and divergent thinking. Most microdosers attested that shrooms helped elevate their creativity and productivity levels.

Small doses of psilocybin heightened productivity for individuals who engage in cognitive-demanding tasks, such as academic work, software development, and engineering.

A study done by Vince Polito on microdosing concluded that small doses of psilocybin did help reduce the levels of anxiety and depression.

depression 2

 

Take away

According to anecdotal evidence, microdosing on shrooms does boost productivity and alleviate anxiety levels. Thousands of people are incorporating small psilocybin in their wellness routine to make their lives more positive.

There is a limited number of scientific studies available to support these claims. However, as more studies are conducted, we can expect significant milestones in the use of psilocybin to treat psychiatric conditions, such as anxiety and depression.

Magic Mushroom Dispensary is your one-stop-shop for all your microdosing mushrooms needs. We offer a wide variety of  ediblescapsules, and dried or raw magic  mushrooms that you can incorporate into your wellness routine. Sign up today and enjoy a wide array and products at competitive prices.

What is Set and Setting and Why is it Important when you take Magic Mushrooms?

Understanding the Importance of Set and Setting with Magic Mushrooms

‘Set and Setting’ is a common expression brought into the limelight by Timothy Leary nearly half a century ago. Most people think that the concept of ‘set and setting’ was developed in the current civilization. Interestingly, most indigenous Central American tribes have been practicing vital ‘set and setting’ rituals for several millennia. There is a universal consensus among researchers that ‘set and setting’ can improve an individual’s pleasure, focus and security when taking magic mushrooms. So, what is set and setting?

What is Set and Setting?

To put it simply, ‘set’ refers to an individual’s state of mind and attitude towards magic mushrooms, whereas ‘setting’ refers to the physical environment where one chooses to take the magic mushrooms. Set and setting denotes various internal and external elements that can sway an individual’s overall psychedelic experiences. ‘Set’ represents an individual’s internal outlook, disposition, character, belief system, and perception. On the other hand, ‘setting’ refers to everything going on in the surrounding area, including the psychedelic trip sitter’s attitude and behavior, the sound of the birds singing, the weather condition, and the cultural forces, albeit the fact that they are non-concrete.

In his book entitled American Trip: Set, Setting, and the Psychedelic Experience in the Twentieth Century, Dr. Hartoghoson suggests that the notion that ‘set and setting’ refers to an individual’s mindset and surrounding is superficial. According to Hartoghoson, set and setting is a socially fabricated concept made up of society’s character, know-how, perception towards psychedelic experiences, and corporeal and social scenery provided by the community. Several cultural set and setting conditions inform an individual’s psychedelic experiences. The most common and highly influential condition is the collective truth that psychedelic drugs are illegal in many areas across the globe and are exceedingly stigmatized. Imagine that anxious feeling you get when you are forced to engage in a conversation while high on magic mushrooms. Weird, right?

Why is it Important?

Most people think that ‘Set and setting’ is exclusive to psychedelic experiences, but the truth is that ‘set and setting’ is applicable across all spheres of life.  Generally speaking, peoples’ internal states and external surroundings are lenses through which they experience and tackle life’s realities in any circumstance. Set and setting are habitually discussed in relation to psychedelic therapy because psychedelic drugs tend to amplify the lenses through which individuals experience and tackle life’s realities.

Recent studies have revealed that the ability to estimate a good ‘set’ is as valuable as understanding the value of a good ‘set’ to an individual’s ultimate psychedelic experiences. Gael, a renowned researcher and a study therapist of MDMA-aided psychotherapy, suggests that an individual needs to establish their real motive before embarking on a psychedelic experience. What is the primary goal of using psychedelics? Is one using it with intent to ‘escape’ a specific feeling or circumstance? If the answer is yes, then it is a good indication that one should, at least, direct their focus towards nursing their emotional and psychological well-being through conventional treatment methods such as therapy before using psychedelics. In simple terms, Gael says that any individual must work on their ‘set’ before using psychedelics such as magic mushrooms because it is the core determinant of the outcome of a psychedelic experience.

The main question that any individual should as before deciding to embark on a psychedelic experience by taking magic mushrooms or any other psychedelic drug is, how am I feeling at this moment? The answer to this question speaks to an individual ‘set and setting’ at a particular point in time. Why is ‘set and setting’ important when an individual chooses to take magic mushrooms? In our opinion, the answer to this question is best answered with another critical question, who, in their right state of mind, would want to be dealing with trifling reservations deeply for an extended duration of time? The truth is that ‘magic mushrooms’ and any other psychedelic drug tends to step up the state of mind that an individual is in when immersing themselves in a psychedelic experience. Logically, if an individual is in a poor state of mind, they are most likely to have a bad magic mushroom trip. If an individual is in a good state of mind, they are most likely to have a good psychedelic experience. ‘Set and Setting’ is important when taking magic mushrooms because it speaks to an individual’s state of mind during that time.
