FAQs
Psilocybin, the primary hallucinogenic compound in magic mushrooms is a psychedelic drug that’s been used for more than 10,000 years in various spiritual and medical rituals. Experiences can vary, but people report altered perceptions of time and space, feelings of euphoria, and a contemplative, dream-like state. Researchers often measure what they call the “mystical experience” according to a scale like the Hood Mysticism Scale, which quantifies a sense of unity, sacredness, positive mood, the transcendence of time/space, and more. “The research shows that the more intense your mystical experiences, the more likely you’re going to experience positive benefits from the experience,” says Dr. McGee.
Researchers believe psilocybin has the potential to help curb addiction to nicotine, alcohol, cocaine, and perhaps opioids. One small study (of just nine participants) on nicotine addiction found that 80% of participants who underwent psilocybin therapy quit smoking, and 60% of them were still abstinent 16 months later, impressive compared to the 35% or less success rate of other therapies. Before being touted as a cure for cigarette smoking however larger studies would need to be conducted. In addition to treating addiction, psilocybin has also shown impressive results in treating depression and death anxiety.
Researchers suspect that the drug is augmenting the process of how people change their behavior by increasing their sense of openness. In conditions like depression, addiction, or anxiety, people are stuck in a very narrow mental and behavioral pattern that’s hard to break. There are so many self-reinforcing properties—more negative thinking leads to less social interaction and then more focus on the addictive substance—and it’s that ‘stuckness’ that really seems to be affected by psychedelic experiences. Psilocybin seems to empower a mental flexibility that, when paired with therapy and the right life skills, allows people to jump outside their patterns and establish healthier new ones.
Because psilocybin can exacerbate or trigger the onset of underlying psychotic conditions, people with a personal or family history of conditions like schizophrenia are at high risk of long-lasting harm and should steer clear of psilocybin. If not used in a controlled environment with a mental health professional present, psilocybin is a powerful tool that, if used in a dangerous way, could harm the person or the people around them. Finally, chronic use of psilocybin does come with cardiovascular risks. It binds to HT2B receptors, which can cause dangerous changes in the structure and shape of heart valves. (Fen-phen—another drug that binds to HT2B receptors—was pulled from the market due to risk of valvular heart disease, one cause of heart failure.) Experts believe this likely isn’t an issue when you’re taking the drug once or a few times for therapeutic effect.
Half-life of psilocybin is about 2 to 6 hours, and effects wear off after about 5 to 6 hours, according to Andrew Penn, NP. Most people take it orally, though there have been some neuroimaging studies with IV psilocybin, but this isn’t how it’s usually administered.
Andrew Penn, NP says a microdose has no standard definition but is usually considered 1/10th of a standard dose. As a “common dose” of psilocybin might be 3 grams, that would be 300mg. It could be in a tea, tincture, or as a dry mushroom.

There are 5 best ways to consume magic mushrooms.
Straight up chew and swallow – The most usual way to ingest magic mushrooms is simply by eating them. Remember to chew. Effects will kick in typically after 30-45 minutes. The fuller your stomach the longer it will take for effects to begin: consuming mushrooms on an empty stomach, or with very little food, gives a shorter onset and stronger kick-in. Tea – Consider making a magic brew. Simply crush up the desired amount and place it in a tea bag or let it steep in hot water. Do not boil as high temperatures will destroy the active ingredients. Mix it with your favorite flavor of tea to improve taste.
Capsules – Usually used when taking a micro-dose. Grinder up the magic mushrooms and fill empty gelatin or vegan capsules. The capsules only hold micro-dose doses. You do have the option to take multiple to feel full effects if desired. Capsules hide all taste and makes consumption very discreet.
Dosage can vary from person to person. Here are a few ways to determine your dose as per The Third Wave(thethirdwave.co).
Microdose (0.05-0.25g): Non psychoactive Mood enhancement Decreased stress Emotional stability Mindfulness, presence and peace Openness and self-forgiveness Increased empathy and sociability Conversational fluidity Alleviation of persistent conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, PTSD Increased motivation (e.g. to make positive lifestyle changes) Increased focus/productivity Increased flow states Clearer, more connected thinking Improved memory Enhanced senses Enhanced appreciation for music, art, etc. Increased creativity Spontaneity Easier meditation Increased enjoyment of physical activity and everyday tasks Relaxation and increased awareness of body Enhanced athletic endurance Increased energy overall (without anxiety or subsequent crash) Amplification of mood, positive or negative Slight sedative effect

Since a microdose is meant to be non-psychoactive it is difficult to measure its effects without being very conscious of yourself. Some self-reflection is required to understand your improvements. You can track the effects with this ‘Check Yourself’ checklist. Most likely, you won’t be affected in all areas, but it’s important to take a comprehensive review of the effects. There are 7 areas to track:
Mental: Notice the thoughts running through your mind. Are they the same as usual, or different in nature? Are you having more or fewer thoughts than usual? In general, is your mind more clear or more cluttered?
Creative: Are you finding new qualities in things, like stories in objects? Do you find your mind wandering in directions it doesn’t usually? Are you getting more ideas than usual? Do solutions to problems come more easily?
Emotional: Do your feelings take on any different qualities than before? Are there more or fewer feelings experienced than usual? How quickly do you process them before reaching a resolution and moving on? Is sex better, or a different quality?
Social: How are you expressing your thoughts and feelings? Are there any changes in the pacing, tone, or nature of your speech? What about your facial expressions? Do you smile more or less? What frequency do you agree or disagree with someone in conversation? Do you talk differently with your coworkers, spouse, friends and family? The barista at the local coffee shop?
Body: Take a look at how aware (or not aware) you are of your body. Now zoom in on the body by closing your eyes and taking a few deep breaths. Slow your mind and place your full attention on any sensations in your body. Do you notice anything?
Capabilities: Notice if you’re more able to complete certain tasks than usual. This might manifest as changes in attention span, physical/visual acuity, verbal fluidity, problem solving ability, empathy, different areas of awareness, and so on.
Outlook: Are you more positive or negative? More optimistic or pessimistic? More or less skeptical? More fearful and guarded, or open to possibilities Feelings of oneness, universality, truth, connectedness, love, or peace are also in this area.
Studies have shown that magic mushrooms do not have tendencies to cause addiction. On the contrary magic mushrooms have been used therapeutically to end addiction. With repeated consumption one’s tolerance may increase, requiring a larger dose to achieve the same effects.
