Dispelling Myths about Magic Shrooms

Did you know that according to research Central Americans began using psilocybin mushrooms even before Europeans came to the New World's shores? Yes, this fungi dates back to 9,000 years, according to archeological evidence found in Sahara, in which rock art depicted hallucinogenic mushrooms. Magic mushrooms can be both wild or cultivated mushrooms that essentially contain psilocybin. This is a psychoactive and hallucinogenic compound that is one of the most psychedelics, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administrations. 

However, like every other psychedelic, shrooms have tons of myths tied around them. Lucky for you, we’ve dispelled some of the most common ones here to help you make an informed decision:

Myth #1: Magic Mushrooms (Psilocybin) Are Party Drugs

Let’s face it, whenever people think of magic mushrooms, they automatically associate them with recreation, high, and parties. However, the fact is several scientists claim that this assumption is unwarranted. According to cancer patients who tried psilocybin in a clinical environment, their psychedelic trip felt anything but fun or recreational. Most commonly, these trips release emotions of fear and panic that tend to subside over time and are replaced with positive feelings that last. Some people said that this drug helped change their perspective and brought a sense of optimism in their life that helped their relationships. 

Myth #2: Magic Mushrooms Don’t Do Much Other Than Offer a Euphoric High 

According to a study, one dose of psilocybin helped people become open to new experiences. This lasted for about 12-14 months, suggesting that Shrooms can offer a lasting positive change. People who have open personalities tend to be creative, appreciate art, and value emotions. People who have experienced mushroom trips described them as an extremely profound experience. They claimed it helped them connect with the world around them. 

 

Myth #3: Magic Mushrooms Can’t Help Mental Disorders

Based on the evidence in animal studies, psilocybin stimulates nerve cell regrowth in certain parts of the brain that are responsible for emotion and memory. Another study found that psilocybin also stimulates neurogenesis. This is when brain cells in the hippocampus begin to grow and repair (brain’s center for emotion and memory). Mice in the study overcame fear, which supports the hypothesis that psilocybin can help break the traumatic cycle that PTSD carries. 

While Shrooms might help different people in different ways, it’s important to pay attention to dosage and side effects. It’s best to consult a medical professional so they can recommend the right dosage for maximum benefits.
