🍄 What Are Shrooms?

Shrooms is a colloquial term for psychedelic mushrooms that contain the compound psilocybin. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring hallucinogen that has been used in spiritual, therapeutic, and recreational settings for centuries.

• Common varieties: Psilocybe cubensis, Liberty Caps (Psilocybe semilanceata)

• Effects: Altered perception of time, space, euphoria, vivid visuals, and enhanced sensory experiences

• Duration: Typically lasts between 4 to 6 hours, depending on dosage

• Onset: 20 to 60 minutes after ingestion

While psilocybin shrooms are traditionally used in ritualistic contexts by indigenous groups, modern-day use often centers on personal exploration, mental health therapy, and even microdosing.
