How Long Does a Magic Mushroom Tea Trip Last?
Duration of a magic mushroom tea trip varies significantly depending on a number of variables, including dosage taken and type of mushrooms consumed. Furthermore, its effects rely heavily on one’s emotional state and environment, which can greatly influence whether an experience is positive or negative. Furthermore, tolerance to magic mushrooms may develop over time, necessitating users increasing dosage in order to achieve the same effects.
After eating mushrooms, the initial 20-40 minutes can often be relatively subdued due to your body digesting and converting psilocybin into psilocin. But after this initial period has passed, some individuals begin noticing colors appear brighter and sounds become clearer, along with an increased sense of anticipation or change in mood.
Once magic mushrooms reach their peak, they can produce visual and sensory distortion, leading to hallucinations that may be particularly intense or feelings of fear or anxiety. It is vital that people in this phase remain safe; having someone they trust with them at this stage would provide an additional safeguard.
At this point, the effects of psychedelic mushrooms typically last 1 to 3 hours and it’s possible to experience vivid patterns, shapes, colors and unusual or abstract thoughts during that period. Time itself seems to move differently; happy moments might pass quickly while stressful or anxious ones seem much longer than anticipated.
Overall, most people find the experience of taking psilocybin mushrooms to be enjoyable and fulfilling, although not without risk. Psilocybin may cause adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting as well as psychological side-effects including anxiety, paranoia, dissociation and overdose which could potentially result in death or serious medical complications.
Psychonauts experienced in psychoactive mushrooms often favor drinking them as a tea to avoid overdose and minimize nausea caused by indigestible parts such as the chitin parts. Furthermore, creating mushroom tea is straightforward.
Step one is to heat water to 70oC – this temperature ensures that psilocybin will not be destroyed at higher temperatures. Next, grind or crush mushrooms as finely as possible before steeping for approximately 20 minutes in hot water. Strain the finished product, and enjoy its liquid form as a tasty tea. Capsules offer another alternative to brewed mushrooms; those who microdose may find capsules easier to control their dose, though they’re typically more costly and bland tasting than tea made from magic mushrooms. They may be beneficial if you don’t care for the flavor of magic mushrooms though!
