WHETHER YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MYCOLOGY, MICROSCOPY, TAXONOMY OR SIMPLY THE WORLD OF MAGIC MUSHROOMS, THESE ARE FIVE INTERESTING MUSHROOM FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW!
FACT 1. THERE ARE SEVERAL “MAGICAL” FUNGI IN THE WORLD
Psilocybin, the psychoactive compound, is what’s responsible for the “magic” in magic mushrooms. The “magic” name describes the psychoactive effects the compound can have on anyone ingesting the mushroom. These effects can range from feelings of euphoria all the way to spiritual awakenings. Whenever people talk about magic mushrooms, they are referring to Psilocybe cubensis, which is one of the common varieties of psilocybin-containing mushrooms. There are more than 200 varieties of mushrooms with psychoactive compounds, though, including Amanita muscaria and Psilocybe cyanescens.
FACT 2. A GLOBAL DRUG SURVEY FOUND PSILOCYBIN TO BE AMONG THE LEAST HARMFUL SUBSTANCES IN POPULAR USE
According to a Global Drug Survey report in 2022, psilocybin was found to be one of the least harmful drugs in popular use. The same report published five years earlier found that psilocybin is even less harmful than cannabis. This is a surprising fact to learn since this is such an often maligned substance.
FACT 3. RESEARCHERS BELIEVE PSILOCYBIN MAY BE AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR ADDICTION
Extensive research continues to indicate that psilocybin could be an effective treatment for addiction to alcohol or nicotine. In regard to nicotine, researchers at Johns Hopkins University discovered that 80% of smokers who participated in the trial were nicotine-free six months later. This is a much more successful rate than traditional cessation methods.
FACT 4. SOME MUNICIPALITIES HAVE DECRIMINALIZED PSILOCYBIN
The three cities of Denver, Oakland and Santa Cruz have all decriminalized psilocybin. To fully understand the difference between legalized and decriminalized, check out our previous article.
