The effects of magic mushrooms

Magic mushrooms have gained popularity in recent years due to their medicinal properties, introspective benefits, and ease of cultivation thanks to the easy purchase of magic mushroom kits, which can be found at your trusted online grow shop. Below is everything you need to know about magic mushrooms and their effects, to avoid potential surprises.

Factors to consider with magic mushrooms

It is necessary to discuss the effects that users may feel after consuming mushrooms. The first thing to know is that the sensations produced by mushrooms vary according to the consumer’s age, size, experience, and mental state, but there is a general consensus on the effects commonly produced by this natural entheogen.

As general advice, people who have consumed magic mushrooms advise the following:

• Maintain good social interaction during their effects to make them more comforting and to share spiritual experiences. 
• It is recommended that there be someone who is not consuming them or at least an experienced guide. This ensures a minimum necessary safety for use, especially if used for the first time.

In other words, the people you surround yourself with during the trip, the trust, and positivity of the group will make the experience better or worse. Additionally, quantities change if the mushrooms are fresh or dehydrated.

Duration of effects

The effects of magic mushrooms usually appear during the first and second hour, gradually increasing until reaching the peak, which lasts between 2 and 6 hours (depending on the amount ingested). After this time, they begin to decline over the next 4 or 5 hours.

It is important to remember that the rise and the final peak are the most intense and rapid processes, while the decline is quite slow and pronounced, which can generate some anxiety if there are no changes of location.

The effects of mushrooms according to consumption amount

As a general rule, the effects of magic mushrooms are usually divided into three different groups based on the amount ingested. The first thing to know is that the sensations produced by mushrooms vary depending on the age, constitution, experience, and mental state of the consumer, however, there is a general consensus on the effects that it is usual to produce this natural enteogen.

First level

This corresponds to a dose less than 1 gram, in a range between 0.25 and 0.95 grams. With these doses, the first noticeable effects are experienced. Some effects are:

• Lights will shine more intensely
• Greater perception and ability in peripheral vision 
• A certain feeling of lightness, excitement, and a slightly cold tingling sensation that runs through the whole body.

Second level

A dose between 1 and 2.5 grams is required to enter the second phase of intensity. It is characterized by:

• Intense visual effects.
• An increase in color intensity.
•  Greater presence of visions and memories
• There may be moments of fun and constant distractions.

However, people with lower tolerance or experience may experience uncomfortable situations, psychological distress, and feelings of confusion and insecurity. Therefore, this dose is for those with certain levels of tolerance and is not recommended for beginners.

Third level

The most potent effects (depending on tolerance) are achieved with doses of more than 2.5 grams. The sensations are similar to the second level, but with a much faster and intense rise, which can be overwhelming. Visual effects will increase significantly, especially with closed eyes, and one will enter another dimension of the mind creating a cozy, colorful reality, full of lights and shapes.

The existential trance that the consumer undergoes will give way to a reflection in which all past actions are reconsidered, which could create confusion. Additionally, those who have experienced it speak of increased clarity, reflection, creativity, and certain unknown abilities.

Positive and negative effects of mushrooms

The effects of magic mushrooms can also be classified by their enjoyment. There are positive, neutral, and negative effects.

Positive effects

Among the positive effects of magic mushrooms are:

• Greater introspection and reflection, generating a deep state of peace and wisdom. This can help solve certain internal psychological problems, being very useful for mental illnesses, treating episodes like migraines or improving mood.
• A level of peace and well-being will be reached, different from anything experienced before.

Neutral effects

There are other intermediate effects:

• Reduction of the visual capacity of the environment.
• Seeing floating lights and shapes with closed eyes.
• Blurry or altered sight.
• Seeing lights and geometric shapes of various colors.

These effects usually depend on the dose and the trip, so they will be different depending on the consumer.

Negative effects

The negative effects, on the other hand, are related to:

• Changes in sensory and psychological perception.
• Episodes of paranoia, confusion, and panic.
• Disorientation and even the perception of noise where there is none.
• Increased sensitivity to light and noise.
• Unwanted changes in the perception of time, seeing it stretch or speed up.
• Nausea and vomiting, but only during the first moments of the rise.
• Decreased muscular and body coordination.

Finally, it is important to know that the effects depend entirely on the person and their predisposition to consuming hallucinogenic mushrooms. To ensure a good trip, it is important to consume them correctly.
