Magic Mushroom contains psilocybin

Magic mushroom are wild or cultivated mushrooms that contain psilocybin, a naturally-occurring psychoactive and hallucinogenic compound. Psilocybin is considered one of the most well-known psychedelics, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administrations.

How Much Psilocybin is in a Magic Mushroom ?

Psilocybin is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning that it has a high potential for misuse and has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.

There amount of psilocybin and psilocin in any given magic mushroom is unknown .

Magic mushroom are often prepared by drying and are eaten by being mixed into food or drinks. Although, some people eat freshly picked psilocybe mushrooms.

Potential Benefits of Magic Mushroom

While some people take magic mushroom solely for their peaceful high, they may also provide a few benefits that are more medicinal in nature.

In 2018, researchers from Johns Hopkins University recommended reclassification of psilocybin from Schedule I to Schedule IV in order to allow for medical use.

One study found that people who self-medicated with small dosages of psilocybin were able to relieve cluster headaches while avoiding any psychoactive effects of the drug.

 This type of practice is often referred to as micro dosing , or taking very small amounts of a drug to test its benefits while minimizing unwanted side effects.

It should be noted that researchers tend to advise against self-medicating with psilocybin because, outside of a

clinical setting, it may be harder to manage your anxiety while under the influence (potentially leading to a bad trip),

you may take too high of a dosage, and it’s hard to know the purity of the drug if you’re purchasing it from an

unregulated source.

In addition, people with pre-existing mental health conditions may be more likely to experience adverse effects from psilocybin. Mushrooms are also known as shrooms, mushes, blue meanies, golden tops, liberty caps, philosopher’s stones, liberties, Amani, and agaric.
