Title: Your Brain on Shrooms


1
Your Brain on Shrooms
2
Main Ingredient in Magic Mushrooms
When psilocybin is ingested in shrooms,
its broken down to psilocin and it makes its way
to the brain where it disrupts the reabsorption
of serotonin thereby increasing the amount of
serotonin the brains chemical messenger that
carries signals between brain cells. Psilocybin
also has a similar structure with serotonin which
allows it to bind to brain receptors and
stimulate the brain. In general, these
hallucinations are enjoyable but because the drug
alters your sense of time, its effects may seem
longer than the actual 3 to 8 hours.

Magic Mushrooms Stimulate Creativity
Psilocybin also inhibits regular brain
connections and creates new stable connections.
This amplifies your thought processes. It also
activates the areas of the brain which are
associated with dreaming. Emotional regions are
also stimulated which gives on the sense of
expanding consciousness.

In a famous U.S. study, 36 participants ingested
psilocybin and were observed in a laboratory.
They all agreed the experience is one of their
lives most spiritually significant events. Two
months after taking psilocybin, 79 of the test
subjects believe they have higher levels of
well-being and satisfaction. An interview with
their friends and relatives backed up these
claims.

Magic Mushrooms Are Safe
Shrooms need to undergo more research but they
are not considered clinically addictive. They
also cause little toxicity to the bodys organ
systems. A U.K. study compared magic mushrooms to
other recreational drugs and found out it caused
the least amount of damage both to the individual
and the others. Scientists agree the laws need
to change about clinically testing psilocybin so
that advanced research can be carried out to
fully understand the positive and negative of
this magic fungus on peoples brain.
