920 magic mushroom day 1

920 is Magic Mushroom Day

920: Magic Mushroom Day

The 20th of September (9/20) is recognized as International Magic Mushroom Day. This particular date is aptly chosen as it coincides with the beginning of fall, a season abundant with magic mushrooms flourishing.

This is the designated day to celebrate the myriad of therapeutic and recreational benefits that magic mushrooms offer, plus the advancement of science on the wondrous fungi. 

When people hear of 420, they quickly associate it with cannabis, so when magic mushroom advocates came up with 920, they hoped it would some day become synonymous with magic mushrooms. Over the years, more and more people have joined the movement and 920 has been considered a success by many. Magic mushrooms are celebrated across globally in large part due to the 920 movement spreading public acceptance and acknowledgement of the many medicinal benefits of this amazing fungi.

happy 920

History of 920

The 920 movement is still new. Unlike the 420 holiday, which was founded in the 70s. Magic Mushroom Day was created in 2015 by Nicholas Reville, a vocal magic mushroom advocate. 

The day is dubbed “Education Day of Action,” It seeks to change how people and policymakers view magic mushrooms by debunking the myths, misinformation, and stereotypes associated with the fungi. Ultimately, it aims to shift public perception and government policies to favor the research and medicinal use of magic mushrooms. 

How can you celebrate 920?

Unlike cannabis, you cannot consume magic mushrooms daily. They provide therapeutic benefits which can are noticeable when done once or twice a month unless when microdosing. Small doses of psilocybin can be taken twice or thrice a week to offer therapeutic benefits without fully tripping on a macrodose.

 

Below are some of the ways you can celebrate 920:

Tripping or starting a microdosing regime

You can honor the day by tripping on magic mushrooms. This can be done indoors or outdoors. Since it is a special day, camping would make an ideal activity to engage in. You can do this with your friends or people from the psychedelic community near your location. Remember the psychedelic movement motto: find the others. 

If you have never taken shrooms before, but you are curious about its numerous therapeutic benefits, 920 is the perfect time to start your regime. Microdosing on shrooms allows one to benefit therapeutically without tripping. 

 

Magic mushroom movie-themed day

Explore the art of film as you enjoy various psychedelic documentaries, movies, and presentations. This way, you get to celebrate the day while still learning something new about magic mushrooms. Some good films include Magic Medicine, Have a Good Trip, The Mycology of Psilocybin Mushrooms, and Little Saints. 

 

Attend a psychedelic research talk

As mentioned before, 920 was started to create awareness for amazing therapeutic benefits of shrooms and encourage favorable government regulations and policies. Every September 20th there are public talks hosted by various psychedelic-centered organizations and societies. 

Attending these talks allows you to directly participate in the movement while expanding your knowledge of the fabulous fungi that so many individuals have found beneficial and life changing.

 

Attending shroom cultivation workshops

There are numerous physical and online mushroom cultivation workshops that you can join. They will help you learn and improve your mycology skills. 

 

Take away

Though 920 is a relatively new movement, it is steadily growing. In the near future, the date will be synonymous with magic mushrooms across the globe. Vocal advocates will steer this psychedelic revolution in the right direction by pushing for the legalization of this highly therapeutic compound. 

Magic Mushroom Dispensary embraces the 920 movement, and that’s why we offer numerous deals and offers during the celebrations and throughout the year. Visit our site to get access to a wide range of shroom products.

Are Magic Mushrooms Addictive?

Magic mushrooms vary widely in their applications, impacts, and chemical makeup. Historically, shamans utilized these mushrooms for spiritual and religious rituals, whereas the hippie movement embraced them for their recreational benefits.

Along the way, it was discovered that the shrooms held the potential of becoming powerful therapeutic agents that could help with conditions such as depression, anxiety, and addiction.

While a substantial number of people have embraced magic mushrooms, there are still some uncertainties surrounding the fungi. For example, many people have this question lingering in their minds: are magic mushrooms addictive?

 

Magic Mushrooms are not addictive

Are magic mushrooms addictive? The answer is no; it is not possible to become addicted to or dependent on magic mushrooms. Addiction can be defined as the inability of an individual to stop using a substance despite the adverse side effects attached to its use. An addict will continue seeking the drug even after witnessing or experiencing health, family, or social problems brought about by its consumption.

When a person becomes dependent on a substance, they cannot function at full capacity without consuming the drug. They experience physical and mental withdrawal symptoms, such as sweating, anxiety, vomiting, insomnia, and general body pain.

Drugs such as alcohol and opioids may require an individual to go to rehab to overcome the addiction, but with psilocybin, ceasing use does not require any professional intervention.

 

Magic mushroom tolerance

Consuming shrooms regularly will lead to the body building up a tolerance. With each dose, the body adapts to the psilocybin, making it impossible to attain the same results with a set quantity of the fungi. Increasing the dosage becomes imperative in order to enjoy the myriad of benefits it offers.  

However, regular consumption over a long period may render the drug ineffective regardless of the dose quantity. With such a high tolerance for psilocybin, an individual’s system becomes tolerant of other types of hallucinogens, such as LSD, ayahuasca, and MDMA. This is referred to as cross-tolerance.

addiction 2

 

Can you overdose on magic mushrooms?

Consuming an overdose of magic shrooms may lead to effects such as terrifying hallucinations, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, or coma. The toxicity levels of mushrooms are too low for it to be fatal even when taken in excess.

For magic mushrooms to be fatal, you will have to consume a thousand times the regular dose. This makes it nearly impossible for anyone to die from an overdose. 

An overdose episode of shrooms takes around 8 hours to end, although the consumer might still experience some side effects for days.

Best practices when it comes to magic mushroom consumption

To avoid psilocybin tolerance, always ensure you take the recommended dose of magic mushrooms when tripping. Do not overdose or take the shrooms regularly. Tripping once or twice a month is sufficient to achieve your spiritual, recreational, therapeutic, or religious needs.

Ensure you are in the right state of mind and that the set and setting is favorable to mushroom consumption.

 

Take away

Magic mushrooms are not addictive, and it’s almost impossible to die from an overdose. However, regular use can lead to tolerance, which means you will have to take higher doses of psilocybin to achieve the results you once did on a lower dose. Always ensure you take shrooms rarely, safely, within the recommended dose.

Can You Combine Magic Mushrooms and Alcohol?

Magic mushrooms provide a distinctive opportunity for individuals to introspect and enhance their lives. Beyond spiritual enlightenment, these mushrooms are in demand for their extensive therapeutic advantages. Experiencing a psilocybin journey facilitates deep connections with one’s own essence, others, and the environment around them.

Alcohol is widely used around the world by millions of people. Consumers turn to it for relaxation, leisure, and to boost their confidence (for people who find it hard to socialize, give speeches, dance, or have fun while sober).  

Looking at the two substances, it is easy to assume that they would make a perfect pairing. Unfortunately, the combination does not always render the expected results. Below, we look at what happens when you mix the two;

 

Effects: Shrooms vs Alcohol

To understand how shrooms and alcohol work when mixed, it is essential to look at their individual effects. Both are recreational substances, but they offer different effects on the user.

Alcohol is known to make its consumers drunk (they become less focused and unable to make a sound judgment), unlike shrooms which make users more retrospective and open-minded. 

 

Shrooms

Magic Mushrooms Dispensary

Unlike a majority of other psychedelics, shrooms are natural and non-addictive. They possess numerous medical benefits, including anxiolytic, analgesic, anti-depressant, and mind-boosting capabilities. 

They offer an out-the-body experience to consumers coupled with elevated levels of positivity, euphoria, and a clear mind. Some other effects include;

  • Increased energy levels
  • A boost in moods
  • Spiritual awakening
  • Changes in perception
  • Increase productivity

Some side effects of shrooms include sweating profusely, increased heartbeat and blood pressure, hallucinations, and paranoia. You also face the risk of experiencing a bad trip if you consume the shrooms in excess or under the wrong conditions (set and setting).

 

Alcohol 

alcohol

Alcohol consumption is much more common compared to shrooms. It is freely taken in bars, restaurants, and even at home. It makes consumers more confident by lowering their inhibition.

When a person’s judgment is impaired, they end up making decisions that they otherwise wouldn’t make if they were sober. Below are some of the effects of alcohol;

  • Lowered inhibitions
  • Slurred speech
  • Drowsiness
  • Elevated levels of confidence
  • Relaxation
  • Confusion

Side effects of alcohol include nausea, altered hearing and vision, headaches, and diarrhea. When consumed heavily for an extended period, it can cause alcohol poisoning, liver damage, and dependence. 

 

Can you combine magic mushrooms and alcohol?

Looking at the differences in effects, what is your take on mixing the two?

Well, everyone has their unique experience: some people have found that the two substances tend to counter the effects of the other while others record that it made the experience worse. 

Shrooms are known to cause queasiness, and people have reported that alcohol does help to reduce the feelings of nausea. In some instances, alcohol consumption has led to the dampening of the effects of magic mushrooms, which cancels out the point of taking the shrooms in the first place.

So, to answer the question, yes, you can combine alcohol and shrooms, but you probably shouldn’t. If you must, then consider taking small quantities of alcohol. It would be best if you spaced out the drinking since it reduces the immediate impact the alcohol would have on your body when binged. Always ensure you remain within your comfort zone to avoid having a bad trip. 

 

Take away

Combining shrooms and alcohol may result in some adverse side effects like increased nausea, vomiting, confusion, drowsiness, dizziness, and paranoia. You also risk having a bad trip and taking too much alcohol, which ultimately leads to alcohol poisoning.

The idea may seem enticing, but since time immemorial, the experience with shrooms has been better when they are consumed alone. Shrooms have the power to change the course of your life, and taking something that can hinder that defeats the purpose of the psychedelic trip.

All About the Different Types of Hallucinations

Exploring Various Hallucination Types

What are Hallucinations?

Hallucinations are illusions that affect one or more of our five senses. They cause sensory experiences that seem completely real, whereas it is all in the mind. An example includes hearing voices while alone in the house or seeing images that the person next to you doesn’t.

 

What Causes Hallucinations?

Several factors can cause sensory hallucinations, such as;

  • Mental conditions like dementia, delirium, and schizophrenia
  • Side effects of certain medications
  • Neurological conditions like epilepsy
  • Lack of sleep
  • Excessive consumption of alcohol
  • Taking drugs such as psilocybin, amphetamines, ecstasy, LSD, and cocaine

 

Types of Hallucinations:

 

Visual Hallucinations 

Visual hallucinations can be described as seeing a distorted version of things in your surroundings. These distortions are primarily experienced by individuals who consume psychedelic drugs such as LSD, psilocybin, PCP, DMT, Ayahuasca, and others.

The hallucinations range from mild to extreme: in low doses, users have a pleasant experience characterized by visualizing extra vivid colors, discovering new patterns that they wouldn’t normally notice, and seeing halos around familiar objects.

Higher doses can result in seeing objects, people, or shapes that are not there, which can cause a lot of confusion and inability to decipher what is real and what is not.

Sometimes, the users may experience sudden mood changes as the hallucinations shift from mild to extreme.

 

Auditory Hallucinations 

This hallucination type involves hearing voices that are non-existent or hearing a distorted version of what was originally said. The voices can range from low to loud and from pleasantly friendly to frighteningly intimidating.

Auditory hallucinations primarily affect individuals with certain mental conditions like schizophrenia or psychosis; however, psychedelic drugs can also be the cause.

 

Tactile Hallucinations 

Tactile hallucinations present as whole-body sensations that appear real but aren’t. It is purely physical, and the brain is tricked into believing that something or someone is touching them.

In extreme cases, the user will experience intense fear as they feel things, mostly bugs crawling inside their skin. Users of crystal meth might find this illusion too real that they end up hurting themselves, trying to eliminate the bugs. Eventually, their skin ends up scarred and exposed to infections.

 

Olfactory hallucinations

These types of hallucinations affect an individual’s sense of smell, such that they smell non-existent odors. They are associated with epilepsy and neurological damage.

Olfactory hallucinations are quite rare, but when they occur, an individual is subjected to a lot of stress due to their inability to tell apart real smells from hallucinated ones.

 

Gustatory hallucinations

Gustatory hallucinations affect your sense of taste in that your palate experiences unpleasant and strange flavors, often with hints of metal that do not exist. They mainly affect epileptic patients, though they are sporadic.

 

Treatment for hallucinations

The treatment depends on the root cause of the hallucinations: if it’s a health condition, a medical practitioner might suggest drugs that suppress the illusions.

For people whose hallucination results from lack of sleep, a better sleeping routine is encouraged. The patient may be prescribed some drugs to facilitate regular, uninterrupted, and peaceful sleep.

Managing alcohol consumption may be beneficial in reducing hallucinogenic episodes.

Ceasing from taking drugs or microdosing might offer the best solution to drug-related hallucinations. Microdosing on psychedelics allows the user to tap into the myriad of therapeutic benefits compounds like psilocybin have to offer without experiencing the side effects.

What is Set and Setting and Why is it Important when you take Magic Mushrooms?

Understanding the Importance of Set and Setting with Magic Mushrooms

‘Set and Setting’ is a common expression brought into the limelight by Timothy Leary nearly half a century ago. Most people think that the concept of ‘set and setting’ was developed in the current civilization. Interestingly, most indigenous Central American tribes have been practicing vital ‘set and setting’ rituals for several millennia. There is a universal consensus among researchers that ‘set and setting’ can improve an individual’s pleasure, focus and security when taking magic mushrooms. So, what is set and setting?

What is Set and Setting?

To put it simply, ‘set’ refers to an individual’s state of mind and attitude towards magic mushrooms, whereas ‘setting’ refers to the physical environment where one chooses to take the magic mushrooms. Set and setting denotes various internal and external elements that can sway an individual’s overall psychedelic experiences. ‘Set’ represents an individual’s internal outlook, disposition, character, belief system, and perception. On the other hand, ‘setting’ refers to everything going on in the surrounding area, including the psychedelic trip sitter’s attitude and behavior, the sound of the birds singing, the weather condition, and the cultural forces, albeit the fact that they are non-concrete.

In his book entitled American Trip: Set, Setting, and the Psychedelic Experience in the Twentieth Century, Dr. Hartoghoson suggests that the notion that ‘set and setting’ refers to an individual’s mindset and surrounding is superficial. According to Hartoghoson, set and setting is a socially fabricated concept made up of society’s character, know-how, perception towards psychedelic experiences, and corporeal and social scenery provided by the community. Several cultural set and setting conditions inform an individual’s psychedelic experiences. The most common and highly influential condition is the collective truth that psychedelic drugs are illegal in many areas across the globe and are exceedingly stigmatized. Imagine that anxious feeling you get when you are forced to engage in a conversation while high on magic mushrooms. Weird, right?

Why is it Important?

Most people think that ‘Set and setting’ is exclusive to psychedelic experiences, but the truth is that ‘set and setting’ is applicable across all spheres of life.  Generally speaking, peoples’ internal states and external surroundings are lenses through which they experience and tackle life’s realities in any circumstance. Set and setting are habitually discussed in relation to psychedelic therapy because psychedelic drugs tend to amplify the lenses through which individuals experience and tackle life’s realities.

Recent studies have revealed that the ability to estimate a good ‘set’ is as valuable as understanding the value of a good ‘set’ to an individual’s ultimate psychedelic experiences. Gael, a renowned researcher and a study therapist of MDMA-aided psychotherapy, suggests that an individual needs to establish their real motive before embarking on a psychedelic experience. What is the primary goal of using psychedelics? Is one using it with intent to ‘escape’ a specific feeling or circumstance? If the answer is yes, then it is a good indication that one should, at least, direct their focus towards nursing their emotional and psychological well-being through conventional treatment methods such as therapy before using psychedelics. In simple terms, Gael says that any individual must work on their ‘set’ before using psychedelics such as magic mushrooms because it is the core determinant of the outcome of a psychedelic experience.

The main question that any individual should as before deciding to embark on a psychedelic experience by taking magic mushrooms or any other psychedelic drug is, how am I feeling at this moment? The answer to this question speaks to an individual ‘set and setting’ at a particular point in time. Why is ‘set and setting’ important when an individual chooses to take magic mushrooms? In our opinion, the answer to this question is best answered with another critical question, who, in their right state of mind, would want to be dealing with trifling reservations deeply for an extended duration of time? The truth is that ‘magic mushrooms’ and any other psychedelic drug tends to step up the state of mind that an individual is in when immersing themselves in a psychedelic experience. Logically, if an individual is in a poor state of mind, they are most likely to have a bad magic mushroom trip. If an individual is in a good state of mind, they are most likely to have a good psychedelic experience. ‘Set and Setting’ is important when taking magic mushrooms because it speaks to an individual’s state of mind during that time.

Can Shrooms & Psychedelics Help Improve Mental Health?

Could Psychedelics Revolutionize Mental Health Care

Mental health has proven to be incredibly hard to handle as the prevalence and effects of the conditions continuously increase, leaving the world in a spiral mental health crisis. Several studies have found psychedelics and magic mushrooms to show promise in treating mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, often where other treatments have failed. Can psychedelics help improve mental health?

Psychedelics have for long been applied in history for medical reasons. Psychedelics came to the mainstream when various clinical trials revealed their potential to treat mental health during the 1960s and 70s. Numerous researchers identified that psychedelics have potential in transforming mental disorders such as depression, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder in cases where other applied treatments failed to work. However, the drugs turned out to be controversial. It was popularized by musicians and other celebrities where they used it for recreational purposes, particularly LSD and shrooms. The press also started to cover the bad trips of psychedelics as well as moral dissipation they induced rather than advocating it for the developments made in scientific fields.

But scientists such as the former Harvard psychologist Timothy Leary turned to be the evangelist of this drug by sharing its benefits and blurring the huge boundary between science and advocacy. The drugs were considered illegal in the US in 1968 due to drug safety fears and increasing moral panic. The scientific research on these drugs was effectively ended in 1971 by the UN convention. It led to member states making them unlicensed and classified under schedule 1 drugs.

Since scientists needed special government approval to carry out psychedelic studies, they shifted to the magic mushroom compound psilocybin. It is related to LSD but with less controversy. During the 1990s, various pioneering studies regarding psychedelics were carried out. However, the breakthrough came to be in the mid-2000s when the drug underwent a scientific rebirth conducted by John Hopkins University. The studies revealed that psilocybin could reduce depression to a range of 80% for patients who have critical cancer. The drugs were very effective in helping people struggling with smoking addictions. It showed more promising results than other available treatments when used together with cognitive-behavioural therapy. Another UK scientist, namely Dr. Carhart-Harris, was the first in more than four decades to research psychedelics in 2009. His research was the beginning of different studies using scanners to understand how psilocybin impacts the brain.

Other findings from his research found that this drug can reset an individual’s brains with untreatable depression. The findings showed that psilocybin impacted two portions of the brain, the amygdala, which is responsible for processing sentiments such as fear and anxiety, and the default-mode, which collaborates with various brain parts. Although there is no detailed study on how psilocybin affects the brain, Dr. Carhart- Harris believes that the drug is responsible for effectively igniting the mind from its inflexibility. It enables an individual to overcome destructive thought patterns.

According to Dr. Carhart, using these drugs and a therapist’s support has proved to be effective since those who undergo the treatment recalibrate more healthily. But psychedelics have risks too. While the drug is said not to be toxic to the body, bad trips can lead to panic and have the potential of causing people to get harmed due to lack of control. They can also inflame the underlying mental health problems that can result in demented reactions in individuals predisposed to them. But there is a difference between when the drug is used for recreational and in scientific trials. Researchers use pure, medical-grade drugs to provide guidance through the experience while excluding individuals at risk of a psychotic reaction.

In 2018, many states around the globe, including Washington DC, experienced a vigorous adjustment in attitudes towards medical cannabis. The legalization of cannabis by Washington and the uplifting of restrictions by the UK government allowed it to be prescribed by a specialist to the patients for medical treatment.

The medical breakthrough followed the approval of ketamine nasal spray in 2019, which was under the supervision and was given to adults suffering from resisting depression treatment. What followed was more open-mindedness towards other stigmatized illegal and recreational drugs. The positive attitudes are due to the potential psychedelic has in changing mental treatment. From the above information, it is clear that psychedelics is a breakthrough treatment for mental health and can transform mental health. Most of the trials proved that the drugs are useful but not for everyone.
