Mushrooms, magic mushrooms, magic mushrooms... have been arousing people's interest for centuries. In recent years, the most important active ingredient in magic mushrooms, psilocybin, has been in the spotlight because of its therapeutic possibilities.
Psilocybe Cubensis is a mushroom that originates from Mexico. Here it plays an important role for the indigenous people during spiritual ceremonies. The shaman is in a state of intoxication in which contact can be made with gods and spirits. The wisdoms can be taken back to the 'ordinary world' and passed on.
Since the arrival of the Spaniards in South America, these practices have been recorded and are the first written evidence. Indigenous people (ancestors of the Aztecs and relatives) had probably for thousands of years had been aware of the psychoactive effects of these mushrooms. Numerous (pre-Columbian) works of art have been found, figurines and beautifully made of the most beautiful materials, gold and precious stones, where psilocybe mushrooms are depicted, or figures under the influence of its active substances.
To someone who has never tried any hallucinogen a trip is hard to explain, but here is a list of effects one could experience when on magic mushrooms:

• A change in mood, either euphoria or the opposite (bad trip);
• A dreamy state, loss of attention and concentration, slow thinking, feelings of unreality or depersonalisation;
• Blurred vision, brighter colours, longer afterimages and sharp definition of objects;
• Increased hearing abilities;
• Colourful, kaleidoscopic patterns seen with eyes closed, and sometimes even on objects or surfaces in field of vision;
• Incoordination, difficult and tremulous speech;
• Great empathy, or even an unusual ability to perceive the feelings of people in the environment;
• A few auditory hallucinations;
• An uncontrollable urge to laugh;
• Alternately feeling hot and cold.

Warning:
Magic mushrooms are not toys nor partydrugs, so they should be used consciously. Make sure you get proper information before consumption. Never take more than 15 grams of fresh mushrooms when trying for the first time. Keep out of reach from children and pets. Do not use magic mushrooms when pregnant, in case of physical and/or mental problems, or when taking medication. Always consult a physician in case of doubt. Do not combine with alcohol or drugs.
Caution: The substrate contains gluten. The mushrooms themselves contain traces of this. Not suitable for people with (severe) gluten intolerance.

Note: Start growing as soon as you have received the grow kit. If this is not immediately possible, store the kit at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.

Usage

There are different ways to consume magic mushrooms. Do not eat anything a few hours in advance  for an optimal effect. Take a precision scale to determine your dose. Dried mushrooms retain one-tenth of their original weight. Note: drying magic mushrooms is prohibited in the Netherlands. You can also make tea from the dried mushrooms. Boil the water and add the mushrooms in pieces. Let it steep for 20 minutes. You can then sift the water and if desired sweeten it with a little honey.
