Psilocybin in North Carolina: A Potential Treatment for Depression

Psilocybin-containing mushrooms are currently being researched for their potential to treat illnesses when used in conjunction with psychotherapy. These mushrooms are only available for use under professional supervision in North Carolina. Although psilocybin is not considered addictive, it does cause hallucinations and may induce paranoia, which is why its use requires supervision to ensure safety and prevent potential harm.

Scientists are exploring whether psilocybin may also help with conditions like PTSD, though further research is needed to confirm these findings. Psilocybin should not be used by individuals with bipolar disorder, as it could trigger manic episodes.

Pharmacology of Psilocybin

Psilocybin is known to affect brain networks, increasing activity in certain areas while disrupting normal brain function. It can reduce slow brain oscillations and increase fast oscillations, which may heighten receptivity to information, such as that from a therapist, during treatment. However, the mushrooms we offer do not contain psilocybin and are not intended to cause hallucinogenic effects.

Amanita Muscaria: An Alternative Experience

While our mushrooms don’t contain psilocybin, Amanita Muscaria (commonly known as the fly agaric) is a different type of mushroom that has sedative and deliriant effects. It contains two compounds: muscimol and ibotenic acid, which can produce feelings of euphoria, floating sensations, and visual or auditory distortions. This mushroom does not produce the hallucinogenic effects typically associated with psychedelics.

Unlike psilocybin mushrooms, Amanita Muscaria works on glutamate receptors, which can help free creativity and aid in meditation. However, it should never be consumed in its raw form as it can be highly toxic. Only properly prepared and tested Amanita Muscaria products should be used, which typically come in the form of psychedelic gummies.

Dosage Recommendations for Amanita Muscaria

We recommend starting with a low dose, such as one to two gummies, for a mild effect (what we call a “micro-melt”). For therapeutic purposes, three to six gummies may be appropriate, and seven gummies can produce a stronger experience. As with any substance, it’s important to start slow and adjust accordingly. Be cautious and avoid taking more if you don’t immediately feel the effects, as they can be delayed, much like cannabis edibles.
