HOW TO USE MAGIC TRUFFLES OR MAGIC MUSHROOMS?

Whether you use them for pleasure, spiritual depth or simply for their psychedelic effect, using magic mushrooms is a fine addition to many people's lives. There are many different ways to use magic truffles or mushrooms. Raw, incorporated into something, fresh or dried or in combination with food. The strain you take also strongly influences the way you use magic mushrooms or truffles. However, there are some rules of thumb for using these natural goodies.

The effects of truffles and magic mushrooms

Before you start using psychedelic substances, it is important to inform yourself well about the type you are going to use. For instance, it is good to know what effects to expect and what you can do to avoid a 'bad trip'. Effects usually start within 20 to 40 minutes after ingestion and can last up to six hours, depending on the dose and strength of the mushrooms.

Common effects include altered states of consciousness, feelings of happiness, increased self-reflection and even spiritual experiences. Many users shared their experiences of profound changes in their experience of the world around them and a greater appreciation of interconnectedness.

Interestingly, magic mushrooms can also have therapeutic benefits. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the potential of psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) to treat mental disorders, including depression, anxiety and PTSD. Some studies have also shown that psilocybin can increase creativity, promote personal growth and enhance feelings of empathy and compassion.

The dosage of magic mushrooms or truffles

The average dose of magic mushrooms or truffles depends on the type and strength of the strain. The psilocybin content can vary greatly between different types of mushrooms and even between individual specimens of the same species. For instance, the Thai Cubensis is very suitable for beginners and the Ecuadorian Ecuasens a better choice for experienced psychonauts. We recommend starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it until you reach the desired effect.

For psilocybin mushrooms, a standard dose is about 1-2 grams of dried mushrooms for beginners, while experienced users can consume up to 3-5 grams. For truffles, the standard dose is between 10-15 grams for beginners and up to 25 grams for experienced users. It is important to note that people may react differently to the same dose due to factors such as body weight, metabolism and individual tolerance. Weigh your products properly before consumption with a precision scale, especially if you want to microdose, for example. Pay attention to whether you use fresh or dried products, as the dosage differs considerably.

A safe environment for using magic mushrooms

A safe environment for using magic mushrooms or truffles is important for a positive and comfortable experience. There are several important factors to consider when creating a safe environment for using magic mushrooms.

• Choose a comfortable and familiar environment. A location where you feel comfortable and safe, such as your own home or a friend's house. It is important to be in a familiar environment where you can relax and let go.
• Surround yourself with people you trust and feel comfortable with. Avoid people who make you feel anxious or uncomfortable, as this can negatively affect your journey. Besides those nice people, it is important to take safety precautions when using magic mushrooms. Consider having a sober "trip-sitter" present who can intervene if necessary.
• The "set and setting" of a trip are also important considerations. "Set" refers to your mindset, so it is important to approach the experience with a positive and open attitude. "Setting" refers to the physical environment, so choose a quiet and comfortable location with dimmed lighting and soothing music.

It is also important to take the right dose of magic mushrooms for a safe and enjoyable experience. Make sure you stay hydrated and nourished throughout the trip by drinking plenty of water and eating light, healthy snacks. Avoid alcohol and heavy meals. It is also important that the magic mushrooms come from a trusted source and are properly prepared. This can help avoid unexpected side effects. It's best to grow them yourself with a grow kit so you know exactly what you're ingesting.
