Magic mushrooms are any psilocybin/psilocin-containing mushrooms. These compounds make them hallucinogenic and have been used by people for thousands of years in ceremonial practice, for medicinal reasons and recreation. Psilocybin mushrooms; commonly known as magic mushrooms, mushrooms or shrooms, are a polyphyletic informal group of fungi that contain psilocybin which turns into psilocin upon ingestion.
Absolutely! Many studies are proving how beneficial psilocybin mushrooms are for mental health and we can speak from first-hand experience that it is true! Our reviews section is filled with people speaking about the benefits of magic mushrooms, in particular to their depression.
If you’re consuming them on a regular basis, yes. You should always wait 2-4 weeks between larger doses of magic mushrooms to reset your tolerance and take advantage of the long lasting effects on your emotional well-being.
Microdosing (Up to .25g)
A small dose isn’t enough to “trip” in the traditional sense, but can lead to subtle yet profound internal shifts. Improvements in mood, productivity, or creativity, enhanced focus, less reactivity, and the possibility of relief from depression, anxiety, cluster headaches, and a variety of other symptoms.
Level 1 (0.25-1 gram)
This level produces a mild “stoning” effect, with some visual enhancement (i.e. brighter colours, etcetera). Some short-term memory anomalies. Left/right brain communication changes causing music to sound “wider”.
Level 2 (1 to 2 grams)
Bright colours, and visuals (i.e. things start to move and breathe), some 2-dimensional patterns become apparent upon shutting eyes. Confused or reminiscent thoughts. Change in short term memory leads to continual distractive thought patterns. The vast increase in creativity becomes apparent as the natural brain filter is bypassed.
Level 3 (2 to 3.5 grams – medium to high recreational dose)
Very obvious visuals, everything looking curved and/or warped patterns and kaleidoscopes seen on walls, faces etc. Some mild hallucinations such as rivers flowing on wood-grained or “mother of pearl” surfaces. Closed eye hallucinations become 3 dimensional. There is some confusion of the senses (i.e. seeing sounds as colours, etcetera). Time distortions and “moments of eternity”.
Level 4 (3.5-5 grams – heavy recreational to spiritual dose)
Strong hallucinations, i.e. object morphing into other objects. Destruction or multiple splitting of the ego. (Things start talking to you, or you find that you are feeling contradictory things simultaneously). Some loss of reality. Time becomes meaningless. Out-of-body experiences and e.s.p. type phenomena. Blending of the senses.
Level 5 (5+grams – heroic/spiritual dose)
Total loss of visual connection with reality. The senses cease to function in the normal way. Total loss of ego. Merging with space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality becomes so severe that it defies explanation. The earlier levels are relatively easy to explain in terms of measurable changes in perception and thought patterns. This level is different in that the actual universe within which things are normally perceived, ceases to exist! Satori enlightenment (and other such labels).
The short answer is maybe, and you should NEVER consume recreational amounts of mushrooms before you work or operate any kind of vehicle. However, most drug tests do not test for psilocybin/psilocin, almost all of them test only for cannabinoids, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates and PCP. Always use mushrooms responsibly.
Magic mushrooms are not addictive. You can Microdose daily with no addiction issues whatsoever. Our bodies build up a tolerance though so while microdosing daily is fine, you would need larger and larger doses to get the same experience. We recommend taking a break of 2 weeks or more between trips for efficiency.
Lemon Tek is a way of consuming magic mushrooms efficiently. Lemon Tek converts the psilocybin in your shrooms to psilocin before consumption which means the effects are noticeable quicker but your trip time is slightly decreased.
Simple Lemon Tek Instructions:
1. Grind your dried mushrooms into a powder.
2. Squeeze enough fresh lemon juice to completely cover and saturate.
3. Wait 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
*SpiritMaji doesn't personally like or enjoy doing the lemon tek method. We'll talk about that some time.
