Magic mushrooms: overview, legalization in Canada

Magic mushrooms

Magic mushrooms Canada are neither physically addictive nor psychologically addictive. Many people do find that their desire to use hallucinogenic mushrooms decreases for a certain period of time after the trip. As with all substances, some people use them more often than they might feel comfortable with.

Using Magic Mushrooms

To get the best out of hallucinogenic mushrooms, you need to put them in your mouth and chew them as long and thoroughly as possible. You can also brew tea from them, but this will not lead to the same effect as eating them. The effects of the magic mushrooms are mainly determined by the dose, the sensitivity of the person to psilocybin, the amount eaten, and the frequency of consumption. It takes 30-60 minutes before the effects begin. The main effect of hallucinogenic mushrooms lasts for 4-6 hours. A normal serving of dried magic mushrooms is about 2 grams for a good trip, but the amount can vary. When the mushrooms are fresh rather than dried, the serving is about 20 grams, but in this case, the amount can also vary.

Effects of magic mushrooms

Consumption of hallucinogenic mushrooms causes intensification of the senses, visual hallucinations, and transformations of the sense of time and place. It gives you a sense that things are different than usual. You will begin to notice things that you would not normally notice, or you will simply accept what is happening as a given. What you see, hear, or do will begin to be more intense. You may see new perspectives or gain a deep sense of understanding, but mostly the use causes a lot of laughter because everything you see will seem unthinkably funny to you.

Types of mushrooms

Hallucinogenic mushrooms are not only found in Mexico, as many people believe, but all over the world, on every continent and on almost all the islands of Oceania. Depending on the active substances contained in the mushrooms, magic mushrooms can be divided into three groups: Hallucinogenic mushrooms like Psilocybin (Psilocybin). This group of hallucinogenic mushrooms includes many species of psychoactive mushrooms from the genus: Conocybe, Galerina, Golden Teacher, Gymnopilus, Inocybe, Panaeolus, Psilocybe, Agrocybe, Gerronema, Hygrocybe, Mycena, Naemutoloma, Panaeolina, Pholiotina, Psathyrella, Stropharia; Ibotenic-type hallucinogenic mushrooms. This group of hallucinogenic mushrooms includes several species of mushrooms of the genus Amanita, Boletus, Hallucinogenic mushrooms of the Ergoline type. This group of hallucinogenic mushrooms includes mushroom species from the genera Balansia, Claviceps, Aspergillus, and Cordyceps.

Consequences of use

The consequences of using hallucinogenic mushrooms, like other psychedelics, can be very serious for human physical and mental health. Thus lethal outcomes from overdose are very rare, often, death results from inappropriate behavior caused by the impact of mushrooms on the psyche.

The most common effects of using psilocybin mushrooms include increased anxiety, restlessness, dizziness, weakness in muscles, nausea and vomiting attacks, severe visual and auditory hallucinations, development of acute psychosis, and loss of coordination of movements.

Treatment of addiction

Addiction to hallucinogenic mushrooms is easier to treat than heroin or other psychophysical addictions. This is due to the fact that psilocin does not cause dependence on the physical level, so the main focus is on working with the addict’s psyche. The basis of treatment is psychiatrist consultations, group lessons, involvement of close people, as well as social-psychological rehabilitation with further support.
