What is Psilocybin Mushrooms?

Curious about Psilocybin Mushrooms? Used for hundreds of years in Indiginous ceremonies around the world and still in use today, in recent years there has been a growing interest in the use of psilocybin (also known as”magic mushrooms or ‘shrooms”) for both recreational and medical purposes. If you are looking for more information on shrooms, how they work, and how to buy them, you’ve come to the right place.Since the federal legalization of cannabis in Canada in 2018 the stigma surrounding both medical and recreational use of the plant that had existed for nearly a hundred years under prohibition has been greatly reduced. People who had previously never used cannabis are now turning to it as a healthier replacement for alcohol (recreational use) and to replace pharmaceuticals (medical use.)

Interestingly, this has led to a swift acceptance of other aspects of previously prohibited plant medicine – including “ magic mushrooms, or “shrooms,” – psilocybin mushrooms. While shrooms are nothing new – they are, in fact, a long time favourite for occasional recreational use in Canada. Lately, the conversation about the use of psychedelics like magic mushrooms to treat all kinds of conditions is rapidly spreading across North America with more mental health professionals interested in the possibilities and more individuals trying “microdosing” for medical reasons themselves. Today there are conferences with respected doctors on the cutting edge of new discoveries discussing the benefits of magic mushrooms.

When used medically, most individuals use smaller doses (called microdosing) than traditionally used for recreational purposes.Though many still enjoy shrooms for their mindbending or recreational properties, almost every online marijuana dispensary can report that they have started fielding many questions from interested consumers who have heard of microdosing for medical purposes and want more information. People are speaking to their friends and neighbors about their positive personal experiences with shrooms and sharing information with each other about the benefits. Magic mushrooms are becoming increasingly popular at pop up cannabis markets.
