The various alkaloids in mushrooms are responsible for making you "high." The most common alkaloids found are psilocybin, psilocin, and baeocystin. http://erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms.shtml
It's the chemical properties of certain mushrooms. Some mushrooms and some other plants contain chemicals with hallucinogenic properties. Hallucinogens were found in nature before they were ever manufactured, and certain species of mushroom are one source, that's all. Hallucinations and the experience of tripping are just the way the brain reacts to those chemicals.
The entirety of a magic mushroom contains the active chemicals, primarily psilocin and psilocybin, that create the psychedelic effects. The mycelium of the fungus, which isn't part of the mushroom, has little of these active chemicals compared to the mushroom itself.
liberty caps
umm no?
Because many mushrooms look similar, picking them in the wild can have dangerous results. Once can easily confuse toxic mushrooms with psychoactive ones. Although some mushrooms do contain psychotropic components, ingesting them would be foolish. Of course, the aforementioned activity is also illegal in many areas.
yes, go have a laugh with your mates.
Yes, it is very possible. They might trip intensely on the second time, or they might be some of those people who just don't react to mushrooms for some unknown reason.
Magic mushrooms are psilocibe mushrooms and they contain psilocibin, which is the active ingredient that makes them psychedelic. When ingested, they cause laughter, hallucinations, mystical experiences and sometimes they can also bring a very scary and bad trip.
Blue caps are kind of a deceiving term, they are in fact regular magic mushrooms that have been bruised to cause a higher ratio of psilocin to psilocybin. This gives a better head/visual trip with less nausea. Psilocyben causes the body high that makes the user feel almost drunk.
depends on who makes it and where
The only thing that I've ever experienced food wise that seems to enhance a trip is orange juice. It also makes it taste better. good luck.
Psilocybin mushrooms, are fungi that contain the medicinal compounds psilocybin and psilocin. A more danger is that poisonous (sometimes lethal) wild picked mushrooms can be easily mistaken for psilocybin mushrooms, but true psilocybin mushrooms are non-toxic. Magic mushrooms contain psilocin and psilocybin psilocybin. These compounds are psychedelics. They will cause an effect similar to a "trip" on LSD. Loss of reality may be experienced and severe anxiety and paranoia can occur. You may experience a bad trip.
You can not, for any and all practical purposes, turn the active chemical in magic mushrooms into LSD. Beside, magic mushrooms is said to have a less jarring trip, and possessing and manufacturing drugs is illegal.
You can only get magic mushrooms from unicorns. Unfortunately, that means a trip all the way to Africa, since that's the only place to find unicorns.
It is not possible to smoke or vaporize Psilocybin mushrooms, the heat will destroy the chemical. Amanita Muscaria mushrooms however have been reported to be active when smoked or vaporized.
