Title: Using Magic Mushrooms for Studying

Using Magic Mushrooms for Studying
2
  • Whenever magic mushrooms are mentioned, images
    of strong psychedelic experiences are brought to
    mind. Because of their portrayal in the media,
    magic mushrooms became associated with
    extreme, debilitating hallucinations that prevent
    people from functioning normally.
  • However, these portrayals are inaccurate. Modern
    research are starting to unlock the many
    applications of magic mushrooms in alleviating
    depression, anxiety, and promoting a positive
    mindset. Evidence also suggests the shrooms have
    a role in studying, and memory. Shrooms are also
    known to enhance thinking ability and creativity.
  • Because psychedelic mushrooms changes the way
    the brain processes information, can they be used
    to perform better in school?

Taking Shrooms Before Exam
  • A study conducted at the Johns Hopkins University
    discovered a single dose of shrooms can produce
    long-lasting personality changes. Lasting effects
    include, but are not limited to, alterations of
    imagination, openness, and appreciation of new
    ideas. Research shows the psychoactive effects of
    shrooms aid its capacity to form new thoughts and
    concepts.

Taking Shrooms Before Exam
  • Anecdotal accounts say consuming small amounts of
    magic mushrooms helps people learn new concepts
    and information faster. Unfortunately, large
    doses creates distracting sensations. On the
    other hand, ingesting a small dose may display
    notable benefits. Early studies show how shrooms
    can impact brain cell productivity and
    connectivity.
  • While this alone wont give you high scores in
    your exams, it can help you expand your thought
    patterns and make information more accessible
    during tests.
  • Even taking shrooms after an exam presents
    possible benefits. If your performance during the
    test was high, the positive state of mind youre
    in can help release the tension after an exam
    session and put you in the right framework to
    have a positive mushrooms experience.

Improving School Performance
  • A scientific study titled, Effects of Psilocybin
    Neurogenesis and Extinction of Trace Fear
    Conditioning published in the journal
    Experimental Brain Research experimented on the
    effects of psilocybin on mice. The study showed
    how psilocybin promotes neurogenesis, the birth
    of new neurons within the brain. It also looked
    at how the mices fear and fear conditioning were
    affected.

Improving School Performance
  • Its far too early to say whether a magic
    mushroom experience will improve test results
    however, empirical research evidence points to
    the potential of psilocybin mushrooms in ones
    academic performance.
  • Given the dozens of variables influencing the
    experience of taking magic mushrooms, it will be
    difficult to produce consistent results. The
    outcome will also change depending on the subject
    matter being studied and other non-mushroom
    related factors.
  • The study discovered specific doses of
    psilocybin can promote growth of new brain cells
    and stimulate the hippocampus, the part of the
    brain involved in memory, emotions, and
    motivation. According to the studys leader, its
    possible that scientists will extend the findings
    to humans in clinical trials.

Changing Brain Networks for Studying
  • Another study which was published showed how
    psilocybin reorganizes the brain in such a way
    that regions that dont communicate before become
    connected under the influence of psilocybin from
    magic mushrooms.
  • The study involved 15 participants who ingested
    psilocybin. Later, their brain activities were
    analyzed using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
    Allowing to visualize new connections as they
    were being formed.

Changing Brain Networks for Studying
  • Its widely theorized among psychedelic
    researchers that the new brain connections are to
    be credited for magic mushrooms effects on
    altering mood, easing the effects of depression,
    and other psychological conditions.
  • While the studies above circumstances used large
    doses of mushrooms for studying, it may be a
    better option to consume less shrooms for
    studying. Smaller doses of magic mushrooms may be
    a tool to help with studying. This is where
    microdosing enters. Shroomers believe microdosing
    is the more practical method to gain from the
    positive effects of magic mushrooms without a
    powerful, beautiful, but disorienting psychedelic
    trip.
