Description

Entheogenic mushrooms are an incredible way of life. Fungi, like other entheogens, have a very particular and unique character.

The effects of mushrooms are highly dependent on the dose and individual sensitivity to psilocybin. For some people 0.25 grams of Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms (a very small amount) is enough to send them to completely visionary states, with wide-eyed visuals, uncomfortable stomach upset or gas, and other high-dose effects, while for others the effects they produce the same amount could be merely recognizable, producing a slight chill sensation for the first hour and other mild effects.

Therefore, it is important to know the reactions of each individual to small doses of each and every one of the entheogens. Play it safe.

The effect-time curve of fungi, like other entheogens, is characterized by a short period between ingestion and rise, a short (although experienced as long) period of rise time, a plateau time, fall time, and effects later.

Some but not all of the following effects characterize the following effect levels. Please note that the minimum dose indicated for medium and high doses is extremely low and those that reach these states with less than 1g of cubensis are rare. You can be one of them, so be careful.

Light effects (0.25g – 0.75g P. Cubensis)

Slight sensation of cold, moderate gas and / or nausea, nervousness, slight dilation of the pupils, moderate visual changes including lights appear brighter or have a starry appearance and the awareness of movement in the peripheral vision, feeling of lightness, feeling more emotionally sensitive and many other effects related to a change in the neurochemistry of each individual.

Medium effects (0.75g – 2.5g P. Cubensis)

Sensation of cold, gas and / or stomach discomfort, nausea, dilated pupils, visual effects with eyes open: auras, effects with starry patterns, formation of alcoiris around the light, the light seems brighter, often “prettier “, movement is perceived in the periphery, sometimes the ability to concentrate is increased or decreased, the visual field distracts and entertains, visual effects with closed eyes: shapeless masses appear on patterns, shapes, different forms, the ability is increased to creatively visualize, detailed spontaneous images, feeling of time dilation, feelings of “coming home again” more often pronounced in those who have used these mushrooms before, feelings of belonging and connection, increased emotional sensitivity, increased ability to focus on memories or emotional problems, opportunity to be caught in a loop of thinking about a simple thinking or feeling (usually negative or painful), realizing about past feelings, epiphanies about the way of living, gaining a new perspective on the current way of life and behavior, feelings of connection with those around you, realizing things that they are usually ignored or taken for granted, wondering, amusement, sadness, spite, religious awakening, contention, and possibly psychological crises.

Effects at high doses (2.5g – 10g)

All half-dose effects, usually with a significantly more uncomfortable high, more pronounced nausea effect (rarely) resulting in vomiting, sometimes significant mental discomfort associated with feelings of fear, and often accompanying ‘what have I done with myself so far’ thoughts “or” how far am I going “, the uncomfortable effects of the high usually diminish with familiarity and increased knowledge about the safety and character of the effects of these fungi. High dose effects are typically characterized by significantly more elaborate and immersive visualizations with the eyes closed, spiritual revelation, spiritual awakening, near death experiences, ego loss, speaking to something seemingly external, autonomous entities, extremely emotional responses , repressed memories come to the fore, latent psychological crises may surface, increased artistic sense and intense feeling of wondering, connection, fun, fear. Effects at high doses can include extreme time dilation, with minute experiences that may seem like an extremely long time, looking at clocks or digital counters where seconds seem to take minutes to pass. One of the most interesting effects is the feeling of awakening for the first time coming from a previous state of “sleep”, of liberation from what is seen at that moment as a state of attachment.

Paradoxically, this new revelation feels normal and natural and the previous fog looks totally unreal. The mushroom psychonaut is convinced that, once won, this awakening is impossible to lose, but inexplicably the next day is just a memory.
