How to Prepare Magic Mushroom Tea
When it comes to making magic mushroom tea, there are various methods available. While some methods may seem less effective or enjoyable than others, all can produce the desired results when used correctly. When taking mushrooms on an empty stomach to avoid any potential nausea or stomach upset and taking an appropriate dosage (too much or too little can have detrimental effects), is key.
Making mushroom tea involves boiling mushrooms for only a short period, in order to protect their integrity and extract more useable forms of psilocybin for absorption by the body. Lemon juice may be added for flavor and added health benefits; particularly as lemon juice converts psilocybin into active psychoactive compound psilocin, providing for a faster acting high.
An effective way of creating mushroom tea is boiling the mushrooms in water before drinking them, which is an especially popular approach among those who dislike their flavor or are looking to minimize digestive issues. Furthermore, this method makes microdosing simple as it allows users to precisely control how many mushrooms are taken each time. For optimal effectiveness it’s advised that mushrooms be finely ground or pulverized prior to boiling in water to increase surface area before boiling in water.
Cap: The outer protective shell or “cap” of mushrooms typically takes an oval to round shape and comes in various shades from brown, gray and even purple. This part contains active psychedelic compounds; thus most people experiencing intense visuals during trips will come into contact with it first.
Flesh of a Mushroom: Mushroom flesh can vary in terms of color and texture, from pale orange or yellow hues to sliminess; generally soft and stringy in texture.
Mushrooms contain numerous chemical compounds, such as psilocybin and psilocin, that have various psychological and spiritual effects as well as physical ones, including inducing an euphoric state and increasing feelings of happiness and connectedness. While overdosing on magic mushrooms is possible, doing so could have serious repercussions for mental health.
As soon as a suspected overdose is suspected, it is critical that there be a plan in place on how to respond. Common symptoms of an overdose include delusions, hallucinations and anxiety; disorientation may ensue along with possible loss of motor control which could result in dangerous behavior.
