About Psilocybin Mushrooms
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring tryptamine alkaloid found in upwards of 200 species of fungi. When consumed, the body rapidly metabolizes psilocybin to psilocin which activates serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptors and profoundly changes consciousness for 3-6 hours. Psilocybin is a classical psychedelic characterized by visual distortions, heightened bodily sensations, colorful visions, altered auditory perceptions, synthesis, strong emotions, hallucinations, and spatial and cognitive shifts in relation to space and time.
The psilocybin experience can be metaphorically likened to a journey. In the journey, a person can visit places deep within the recesses of their own mind, have out-of-body experiences where they venture to far away universes to meet celestial beings, or even engage in conversations with loved ones long since passed. The range of possible experiences is infinite and dose-dependent. A person’s mental state and the environment where psilocybin is taken affect the subjective and emotional experience.
Psilocybin-containing mushrooms have been revered in ceremonial spaces dating back thousands of years in indigenous cultures and are still traditionally used by some indigenous groups in Mexico. With the discovery of LSD, research into psychedelic compounds and their applications in psychiatric medicine blossomed. Psilocybin was investigated for therapeutic benefits throughout the 1960s and gained precedence in Western cultures when it was popularized among the hippie counterculture. The 1970s Controlled Substance Act made psilocybin a Schedule I substance where it resides today.
In most countries of the world, possession and use of psilocybin mushrooms are illegal. However, psilocybin retreats are operating legally in a few countries such as Jamaica and the Netherlands. In May 2019, Denver Colorado became the first US city to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms followed shortly after by Seattle Washington, California (Oakland, Santa Cruz, Ann Arbor, San Francisco), Massachusetts (Somerville, Cambridge, North Hampton, East Hampton), Washington DC, Oregon, Texas (Research Only), Connecticut (Research Only), New Jersey, Maine, and Vermont.
