Psilocybin mushrooms, more commonly referred to as magic mushrooms, offer an unforgettable and transformative experience. As natural hallucinogens, psychedelic compounds like this one have long been used as spiritual aid, psychological relief and emotional release for spiritual guidance, psychological treatment and release. Their effects depend on numerous factors like dosage, individual physiology and setting.

Although ingesting raw mushrooms as they are is the traditional approach to experiencing them, this might not be best for everyone. Aside from its rather unpleasant taste and potential side effects such as nausea and stomach upset, eating psilocybin may cause significant digestive discomfort – leading seasoned psychonauts to turn instead to mushroom tea as a method for consumption.

Lemon adds another powerful element to the experience by speeding up conversion of psilocybin into psilocin faster, as well as alleviating nausea and stomach upset caused by taking psilocybin. The acidity of lemon juice also provides some protection from possible adverse side effects caused by its consumption.

Although this method requires slightly more work than simply steeping mushrooms in water, the rewards make the effort worth your while. Heat destroys psilocybin in mushrooms so it is essential that temperatures below boiling be used to protect their effects and ensure positive outcomes.

Once your tea has been prepared, take it in an environment free from interruptions and prepare both mentally and physically for your journey. Focus on its purpose, desired outcomes, potential distractions such as phone calls or social engagements or chores and make sure no distractions come your way during this momentous experience.

After drinking mushroom tea, its effects typically take 20-40 minutes to become apparent. They usually peak between three and six hours later before gradually lessening in intensity as tolerance builds over time with repeated usage of specific doses – this will affect both how long your trip lasts as well as its intensity. Tolerance builds by repeatedly using one specific dosage; its presence determines both how long and strong its effects are felt during a trip.
