When psilocybin is consumed, it id broken down into psilocin. Psilocin is a substance the acts as a neurotransmitter serotonin, which regulates mood. When hallucinating materials and images feel more "intense". Some have experienced synesthesia, the mixture of two senses, such as feeling like they can taste colors.

After taking psilocybin there is a sharp increase in communication between areas of the brain that normally don't communicate with each other. This could explain the new insights people experience. There's also a quieting of ingrained thought patterns that contribute to addictions, anxiety and depression.

There are many ways to consume psilocybin mushrooms. The most common way is eating them dried. Other suggested ways include combining it with food, making a tea or taking a "lemon shot". Heres more information on how to take the lemon shot:

1-2.5 grams of dries shrooms is considered a micro-dose. 2.5- 5 grams of shrooms is considered a strong dose. 5 plus grams of dries shrooms is considered a “heroic” trip!

Effects depend on the species and dosage of mushroom. Visual effects while micro-dosing are not strong. You may feel a happier and funny.
