Dosing and Effects

The two most referred to components in magic mushrooms are psilocybin and psilocin. These are the alkaloids that produce the mind altering effects. Psilocybin is converted into psilocin by the body, after consumption. Of the two compounds, only psilocin can pass the blood brain barrier and result in an altering experience.

Potency

The average psilocybin cubensis mushroom will test around 10 milligrams per gram of psilocybin. This means it contains 1% psilocybin and psilocin. 1% does not sound like much but this small number is more powerful than we think.

Tolerance can vary greatly from person to person depending on body weight, recent consumption, and genetic makeup. I highly encourage people to respect there set and setting and dosing amounts. For new to consumption I recommend low does and gradually increasing based on the more experience you obtain.
