Psilocybin – Macrodose Capsules

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in over 200 species of mushrooms, commonly known as “magic mushrooms.” Once ingested, psilocybin is converted in the body into psilocin, the active compound responsible for its mind-altering effects. Psilocybin mushrooms have been used for centuries in spiritual, therapeutic, and recreational settings due to their ability to induce euphoria, altered perception, and deep introspection.

1. Dose

Therapeutic Dosage: In clinical research, psilocybin doses range from 1g to 3.5g of dried mushrooms. Dosages are tailored based on individual weight, experience, and therapeutic goals.

General Dosage Guide:

High doses (5g or more) can result in overwhelming psychological effects, confusion, and ego dissolution, which may be distressing without proper guidance.

2. Preparation

• Mindset and Intention: Approach the experience with a clear, positive mindset. Setting an intention, such as self-reflection, healing, or creativity, can help guide the trip.
• Environment: A calm, safe, and familiar setting is recommended. For therapeutic use, a controlled setting with a sitter or therapist is ideal.
• Hydration and Nutrition: Eat a light, nutrient-rich meal a few hours before ingestion to prevent nausea. Avoid heavy, greasy foods. Drink water in moderation but do not overconsume.
• Trip Sitter: Having a sober, trusted person present is recommended, especially for high doses or first-time experiences.

3. During Use

• Stay Calm and Go with the Experience: Magic mushrooms can bring intense emotions, visual distortions, and deep introspection. Accepting the experience rather than resisting it can reduce anxiety.
• Hydration and Comfort: Drink water as needed, and if experiencing discomfort, lay down, breathe deeply, and listen to calming music.
• Temperature and Body Awareness: Mushrooms can affect body temperature regulation. Wear comfortable clothing and ensure you are not too hot or too cold.
• No Mixing with Other Substances: Avoid combining with alcohol, cannabis, or other drugs, as this can increase anxiety, confusion, or nausea.
• Take Breaks and Rest: If the experience becomes overwhelming, grounding techniques such as holding a familiar object, deep breathing, or changing environments can help.

4. Post-Use Care

• Rest and Recovery: Fatigue and emotional sensitivity are common after a trip. Get adequate sleep and avoid stressful situations for the next 24 hours.
• Hydration and Nutrition: Eating light but nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can aid recovery.
• Journaling and Integration: Reflecting on the experience by writing in a journal can help process insights and apply them to daily life.
• Therapeutic Support: If used for self-discovery or healing, discussing the experience with a trusted friend, therapist, or support group can provide valuable insights.

Psilocybin magic mushrooms typically last between 4 to 6 hours, depending on the dose and method of consumption.

Effects may take longer to kick in if consumed on a full stomach. Avoid redosing too soon, as this can lead to unexpectedly strong effects.
