PSILOCYBIN
Our
chemical laboratory suppliers in the USA have produced Psilocybin, or
Psilocin at a very high purity of 98.732%. It's uses are as a bath salt
or as an incense. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring
psychedelic drug, with mind-altering effects similar to those of LSD
and mescaline, after it is converted to psilocin. The effects can
include altered thinking processes, perceptual distortions, an altered
sense of time, and spiritual experiences. Psilocybin is
produced by over 200
species of mushrooms, collectively known as psilocybin
mushrooms.
The most potent are members of the genus Psilocybe, such as P.
cubensis, P. semilanceata, and P. cyanescens, but psilocybin
has also
been isolated from about a dozen other varieties.
Psilocybin-containing mushrooms have been ingested
for
thousands of years in spiritual ceremonies. Some enthusiasts for
the drug consider it an entheogen
(spirituality-enhancing agent) and a tool to supplement practices for
transcendence, including meditation and psychonautics. The intensity
and duration of the effects of psilocybin are variable,
depending on
species or cultivar of mushrooms, dosage, individual physiology, and
set and setting, as was shown in experiments led by Timothy Leary
at
Harvard University in the early 1960s. Once ingested, psilocybin
is
rapidly metabolized to psilocin, which then acts on serotonin receptors
in the brain. The mind-altering effects of psilocybin typically last
from two to six hours; however, to individuals under the influence of
psilocybin, the effects may seem to last much longer, since the drug
can distort the perception of time. Psilocybin has a low
toxicity and a
relatively low harm potential, and reports of lethal doses of the drug
are rare. Several modern bioanalytical methods have been adapted to
rapidly and accurately screen the levels of psilocybin in mushroom
samples and body fluids. In the 2000s, there has been a revival of
scientific research into the potential therapeutic benefits of
psilocybin for treating a variety of medical and psychological
conditions including obsessive compulsive disorder and cluster
headaches.
