That way you’ll know better exactly what your body is reacting to after taking these fun trip tubers. Starting a trip well informed is nice! Fortunately, you don’t need to have studied chemistry to understand how both substances work.

The active substances in magic mushrooms and truffles

Psilocybin

Probably the substance psilocybin is more familiar to you than psilocin, but you may never have heard of either substance. Psilocybin is a hallucinogenic substance found in hundreds of mushroom and other fungal species. After eating a magic mushroom or magic truffle, the substance psilocybin is converted in the body into the substance psilocin, about which more later. The mind-altering effects of psilocybin last between three and eight hours, depending on the dose, intake of food and other factors.

Psilocybin by itself is not toxic to the body as alcohol, for example, is, although there are of course some risks associated with ingestion of the substance. Read well about using trip drugs so that you avoid unpleasant effects or a bad trip.

Psilocin

Psilocin is another substance found naturally in mushroom and truffle species. The substance psilocin is responsible for the “high” during a trip, but it can poorly withstand exposure to oxygen and heat. This is the reason why scientists study the substance psilocybin more often than psilocin during research. During the trip, your body first breaks down the substance psilocybin and converts it to psilocin before the body excretes the substance.

Microdosing

Much research has been conducted on the substances psilocybin and psilocin since the 1960s, although much remains unclear. There are no known medical applications, although in recent years, in addition to tripping, the phenomenon of microdosing has become increasingly well known. Trip drugs are then taken in a very small dose so that the benefits of the product can be felt without getting a real trip. This is said to be an important mental and physical support for the body and mind, provide better concentration and reduce mood swings. However, opinions are still divided on the subject.

Research on psilocybin

In recent years, there has also been a great deal of research on the use of psilocybin in mental health and psychotherapy. A study by the Imperial College in London found that participants administered DMT, LSD or psilocybin experienced less depression, anxiety, agitation, compulsion and addictive behaviors. More research on these effects is currently underway.
