Effects of Magic Mushrooms

Effects of magic mushrooms
There is no safe level of drug use. Use of any drug always carries some risk. It’s important to be careful when taking any type of drug.

Magic mushrooms can affect everyone differently, based on:


 * size, weight and health
 * whether the person is used to taking it
 * whether other drugs are taken around the same time
 * the amount taken
 * the strength of the mushroom (varies depending on the type of mushroom).

The effects of magic mushrooms usually begin in 30 minutes when eaten, or within 5–10 minutes when taken as a soup or tea, and can last for approximately 4–6 hours.2

During this time, the person may experience:


 * euphoria and wellbeing
 * change in consciousness, mood, thought and perception (commonly called a trip)
 * dilation of pupils
 * perceptual changes, such as visual and auditory hallucinations
 * stomach discomfort and nausea
 * headaches
