How Does Psilocybin and Psilocin Work?

Despite their long-term presence throughout human history, scientists have only recently identified the primary hallucinogenic compounds in magic mushrooms. Psilocybin is the compound that naturally occurs in mushrooms and is ingested by the body. However, the body actually converts psilocybin into a second, lesser-known compound called psilocin. Both of these compounds work together to produce a wide range of psychoactive effects.   Psilocybin and Psilocin interact with a user’s brain and induce the mind-altering sensations that accompany magic mushroom use. These chemicals interact with the region of the brain that deals with thought analysis, abstract thinking, perception, and mood. The result is commonly a mixed bag of sensations that include distortions of time and reality. This includes the hallucinogenic and “trippy” sensations commonly pictured when thinking about shrooms. These compounds also interact with serotonin, a brain chemical found in many different brain areas. A large number of serotonin receptors can be found in the area of the brain responsible for imagination and creativity. The effects of magic mushrooms on these receptors can lead to enhanced creativity and new ideas. Psilocybin has also been shown to increase connectivity between different areas of the brain. This often results in a greater sense of connection to yourself and your surroundings. This wide range of  effects is why psilocybin has been given the nickname “wonder drug” by many users whose lives have been positively impacted by the substance.

Effects of Magic Mushroom Chocolate

The effects of shroom chocolate will likely be different experiences for different people. This is because psilocybin and psilocin affect different body types in a variety of ways. For instance, some people may have higher tolerances to the drug, whereas others may only need a small dose to get the same effects. In addition, different shroom strains have their own unique qualities and induce their own unique set of effects. In fact, some magic mushroom strains are known to be much more potent than others. Furthermore, the amount of psilocybin taken will contribute heavily to the end effects. Other important factors include your weight, age, metabolism, and environment. Even your mood state at the time of consumption can influence the intensity of your magic mushroom trip. Once ingested, the effects of your chocolate shrooms should be apparent within 30 to 90 minutes. The trip can last anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, with peak effects occurring around an hour or two following ingestion. Even though there are many different experiences and effects that can be felt, there are many common sensations that are present in most shroom chocolate trips.  Below are some of the most common effects associated with magic mushroom chocolate use:

Medical Uses of Chocolate Psilocybin Mushrooms

The shroom chocolate Canada community is still in its early stages due to restrictions set out by the Government. However, the therapeutic benefits are hard to ignore and there has recently been a large push by Canadian society to decriminalize shroom products.  This has caused many studies to be conducted in the field of psilocybin mushrooms. These studies show extremely promising results for the use of magic mushrooms as a treatment for a wide variety of ailments. This is sure to result in a whole new set of benefits and uses of products such as chocolate shrooms. In fact, new medical uses of psilocybin chocolates are being discovered daily.  Lastly, shroom chocolates are great for the purpose of gaining exposure to shrooms and their benefits. For example, many users may be turned off by the bitterness of raw dried shrooms. Magic mushroom chocolates provide these users an opportunity to try shrooms without the bitter taste.  Medical conditions that are treated with psilocybin magic mushroom chocolates:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Addiction Cessation
• Cancer-Related Psychological Conditions

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Negative Effects of Chocolate Shrooms

One harsh reality is that magic mushroom chocolates are a risk of inducing a range of side effects.  However, most of the negative effects of shrooms are the result of taking too much during a single trip. This makes it important to only take the appropriate dosage and give plenty of time between doses. Psilocybin takes a bit to kick in and the last thing you want to do is take a second dose before the first one kicks in.    The good news is that magic mushrooms are known to be relatively safe and there are rarely any reports of any serious damage that results from shroom use. Just try to remember that any uncomfortable effects will only be temporary and you will snap back to reality in short order.   With shroom chocolates, the real danger comes if someone takes the psilocybin chocolates without knowing what they are. This means that you should always store your chocolate shrooms in a child-proof container that is clearly labeled. You would want to keep it out of sight and in a safe place. When you do trip, it’s important to make sure you’re in a safe environment free from any hazards. It may even be beneficial to ask someone to stay with you throughout your trip.     Side effects commonly associated with psilocybin chocolate mushrooms:

Shroom Chocolates Dosing Information

The difficult thing about chocolate shroom dosing is that no one shroom item is the same as others. For instance, some shroom chocolates will contain more psilocybin than others. In addition, some chocolate mushroom products can be of higher quality and have more potent starting materials. Therefore, it is imperative to understand how much psilocybin is contained in each piece of chocolate. Premade chocolate magic mushrooms in Canada will always provide dosage information and instructions that you should follow. If your shroom chocolate does not provide any of this information, that’s a sign your product may not be safe to consume.  More care and attention is required if you decide to make homemade shroom chocolate edibles. This shroom chocolate dosing chart is only meant to be a starting point and should be taken with a grain of salt. If you’re unsure about how much to take, start with a smaller dose than you think you need. You can always consume more, but you really can’t do anything about taking too much. As previously mentioned, everyone has different body types and can be affected by psilocybin and psilocin differently.
