Eat The Entire Magic Mushroom?

Psilocybin mushrooms, also known as “magic mushrooms”, can open the consciousness to the limitless wonders of the universe and make people feel more connected. They can be ingested in various ways, including chewing and swallowing, brewing them into tea, or exploring other methods. The psychoactive compound released by the mushrooms is known as psilocybin.

People generally consume psilocybin mushrooms in dried form, but some prefer grinding them and consuming capsules, while others may brew a tea or make an edible version. The production, sale, and possession of magic mushrooms are illegal in Canada, but there is increasing interest in the potential therapeutic uses of these substances.

Some types of mushrooms contain psilocybin and psilocyn, substances that can cause hallucinations when used in large enough doses. Some magic mushroom species already contain significant amounts of psilocin before being ingested. Oregon voters approved Measure 109 in 2020, the first law in the United States to establish a law on psilocybin services.

Psilocybin is a hallucinogenic substance found in certain types of mushrooms, commonly referred to as “magic mushrooms”. The entire poisoning episode usually subsides in 6-8 hours, with some symptoms taking up to several days to fully resolve. Benzodiazepines may be used for treating psychedelic use in the U.S.
