What Is the Shroom Boom?
The shroom boom encompasses the recent rise in interest in psychedelic mushrooms and their main compound: psilocybin.
And as magic mushrooms continue to undergo more clinical trials we are expecting to see a whole lot more of our fungi friends.
Shrooms have been used for thousands of years, often as a spiritual experience, a means of introspective self-exploration, or for medicinal use.
Studies have found that psilocybin can help lower alcohol dependence, help break smoking addictions, lower stress levels, and provide support for people who have experienced trauma.
What Do Shrooms Feel Like?
Many users report feeling giddy, excited, and awe-inspired after taking shrooms. There is evidence that shrooms can impact the part of the brain responsible for the ego, which can play a role in why so many people express heightened feelings of connectedness and empathy when on shrooms.
Psilocybin mushrooms can also produce hallucinations, visions, a sense of timelessness, and a shift in perspective. Many people experience colors and shapes more intensely or report feeling like they are in a dream while awake.
What Is Microdosing?
Microdosing involves taking enough shrooms to benefit the mind, but not enough to cause hallucinations. The idea is that you can microdose on a regular day – such as before work – without fear of tripping.
How Does Microdosing Work?
When taken in such small amounts, psilocybin is believed to help focus the mind, boost creativity, lower stress, and help relieve discomfort, all without severely altering the mental state.
To get the most out of microdosing, you’ll want to go into it with specific goals, such as improving your time management or connecting more with the people in your life. You can also keep track of your mood and energy levels through daily journaling.
This will help set up a daily practice and keep track of your progress as you become more intune with yourself through microdosing.
To avoid building up a tolerance, it’s best to microdose every two or three days, rather than daily. Make sure you stick to a consistent schedule, and take the same amount each time for at least a month before trying to change your dose.
The Bottom Line
When it comes to magic mushrooms, the tides they are a turning. Psilocybin mushrooms show promise as a therapeutic substance, and here at HEMPEARTH , we can’t wait to see how the shroom boom continues to grow.
