Certain
types of naturally occurring mushrooms contain hallucinogenic chemicals --
psilocybin and psilocin. These mushrooms are generally grown in Mexico and
Central America and have been used in native rituals for thousands of years.
They can be eaten, brewed and consumed as tea.
When
ingested, mushrooms produce a syndrome similar to alcohol intoxication sometimes
accompanied by hallucinations. Once ingested, mushrooms generally cause feelings
of nausea and other physical symptoms before the desired mental effects appear.
The high from using mushrooms is mild and consists of distorted perceptions.
Effects may include different perceptions of stimuli like touch, sight, sound
and taste. Onset of symptoms is usually rapid and the effects generally subside
within 2 hours. The effects of mushrooms are unpredictable each time they are
used due to varying potency, the amount ingested, and the user's expectations,
mood, surroundings, and frame of mind. Effects can include sweating, nervous
feeling, paranoia.
