In a time when microdosing LSD is all the rage, more and more people are turning to magic mushrooms for a little added sparkle. Some people say that microdosing psilocybin helps them get more creative and boosts their mood, focus, or productivity at work. Others claim it’s their secret weapon against anxiety and depression. The psychedelics aren’t for the faint of heart, though: Taking too much of them can trigger a bad trip that lasts hours and can include paranoia and a distorted sense of reality.
Buying Microdose Mushrooms Online: Tips and Recommendations
Buying microdose mushrooms seems to be getting easier to find since they’re legal in many states. A recent search on Facebook Marketplace turned up dozens of listings with photos of mushrooms and links to private messaging services from sellers who often identify themselves as suburban parents involved in civic life. Most asked that their names not be used because selling mushrooms is illegal in some states, including New York.
But not all mushroom products are the same and it’s hard for consumers to know what they’re buying, especially online. Some of the mushrooms that turn up in the searches aren’t psilocybin-containing and may contain dangerous or even illegal substances, such as MDMA, the active ingredient in the club drug ecstasy. The strength of each batch is also unpredictable and could lead to a bad trip or even psychosis, in which case the user might die. A bad trip can also trigger flashbacks, causing the user to relive parts of the experience days or even months later.
