Doing magic mushrooms can be an intense and otherworldly experience. Often referred to as “tripping”, the effects of these potent psychedelics can be both mesmerizing and overwhelming for those who partake in them.
The actual physical effects of consuming mushrooms will vary from person to person, depending on their size, weight, metabolism and other factors. Generally, it takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours for the effects to become noticeable.
At what would be considered a full dose, or normal dose (2g give or take) some of the most common effects is a heightened sense of awareness, enhanced color perception and vivid dream-like visuals. People often describe these visuals as seeing shapes and colors that aren’t actually there or having an overall feeling that everything around them is somehow alive and breathing.
Many people also report feelings of deep connection with nature or even the universe itself, along with a boost in creativity. Many feel the connection is one of a connection to divine self. And though the experience can be different from person to person, there is a common agreement between users that magic mushrooms allow one to connect more spiritually to self, and the world, and often times the experience is an enlightening one.
On a more negative note, there are some unpleasant side effects that may occur when taking mushrooms — such as nausea, paranoia or anxiety — so it’s important to take caution when experimenting with this type of psychedelic drug. Additionally, be sure to only acquire mushrooms from a reliable source in order to ensure they are safe and uncontaminated by other drugs or toxins.
Overall, doing magic mushrooms can open up doors into new worlds of thought and creative exploration but should always be approached cautiously and responsibly.
