FAQ
Answers to commonly asked questions.
General Magic Mushroom Info
What are magic mushrooms?
Magic mushrooms are any psilocybin/psilocin-containing mushrooms. These compounds make them hallucinogenic and have been used by people for thousands of years in ceremonial practice, for medicinal reasons and recreation. Psilocybin mushrooms; commonly known as magic mushrooms, mushrooms or shrooms, are a polyphyletic informal group of fungi that contain psilocybin which turns into psilocin upon ingestion.
Can Mushrooms Help With Depression?
Absolutely! Many studies are proving how beneficial psilocybin mushrooms are for mental health and we can speak from first-hand experience that it is true! Our reviews section is filled with people speaking about the benefits of magic mushrooms, in particular to their depression.
Will I build a tolerance to magic mushrooms?
If you’re consuming them on a regular basis, yes. You should always wait 2-4 weeks between larger doses of magic mushrooms to reset your tolerance and take advantage of the long lasting effects on your emotional well-being.
Mushroom dose information. How much should I take?
Microdosing (Up to .25g)
A small dose isn’t enough to “trip” in the traditional sense, but can lead to subtle yet profound internal shifts. Improvements in mood, productivity, or creativity, enhanced focus, less reactivity, and the possibility of relief from depression, anxiety, cluster headaches, and a variety of other symptoms.
Level 1 (0.25-1 gram)
This level produces a mild “stoning” effect, with some visual enhancement (i.e. brighter colours, etcetera). Some short-term memory anomalies. Left/right brain communication changes causing music to sound “wider”.
Level 2 (1 to 2 grams)
Bright colours, and visuals (i.e. things start to move and breathe), some 2-dimensional patterns become apparent upon shutting eyes. Confused or reminiscent thoughts. Change in short term memory leads to continual distractive thought patterns. The vast increase in creativity becomes apparent as the natural brain filter is bypassed.
Level 3 (2 to 3.5 grams – medium to high recreational dose)
Very obvious visuals, everything looking curved and/or warped patterns and kaleidoscopes seen on walls, faces etc. Some mild hallucinations such as rivers flowing on wood-grained or “mother of pearl” surfaces. Closed eye hallucinations become 3 dimensional. There is some confusion of the senses (i.e. seeing sounds as colours, etcetera). Time distortions and “moments of eternity”.
Level 4 (3.5-5 grams – heavy recreational to spiritual dose)
Strong hallucinations, i.e. object morphing into other objects. Destruction or multiple splitting of the ego. (Things start talking to you, or you find that you are feeling contradictory things simultaneously). Some loss of reality. Time becomes meaningless. Out-of-body experiences and e.s.p. type phenomena. Blending of the senses.
Level 5 (5+grams – heroic/spiritual dose)
Total loss of visual connection with reality. The senses cease to function in the normal way. Total loss of ego. Merging with space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality becomes so severe that it defies explanation. The earlier levels are relatively easy to explain in terms of measurable changes in perception and thought patterns. This level is different in that the actual universe within which things are normally perceived, ceases to exist! Satori enlightenment (and other such labels).
Can magic mushrooms be detected on a drug test?
The short answer is maybe, and you should NEVER consume recreational amounts of mushrooms before you work or operate any kind of vehicle. However, most drug tests do not test for psilocybin/psilocin, almost all of them test only for cannabinoids, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates and PCP. Always use mushrooms responsibly.
Can my doctor prescribe magic mushrooms?
Yes, Canadian doctors can now legally prescribe psilocybin treatments but not all are open to it just yet.
Are magic mushrooms addictive? Can I take them every day?
Magic mushrooms are not addictive. You can Microdose daily with no addiction issues whatsoever. Our bodies build up a tolerance though so while microdosing daily is fine, you would need larger and larger doses to get the same experience. We recommend taking a break of 2 weeks or more between trips for efficiency.
How do I store my magic mushrooms?
If you store your mushrooms in a cool, dry, dark place and they’re sealed in a zipper bag, Tupperware, or mason jar, they will retain potency for a long time. If they get damp there is a possibility of them growing mould, so always store them sealed with the desiccant/silica packet we provide.
What Is Lemon Tek?
Lemon Tek is a way of consuming magic mushrooms efficiently. Lemon Tek converts the psilocybin in your shrooms to psilocin before consumption which means the effects are noticeable quicker but your trip time is slightly decreased.
Simple Lemon Tek Instructions:
1. Grind your dried mushrooms into a powder.
2. Squeeze enough fresh lemon juice to completely cover and saturate.
3. Wait 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.

Microdose Info
What is microdosing?
Microdosing is the act of taking small amounts of magic mushrooms for health & enhancement, without making you high. Most of the work microdosing does is in the background, but you may feel more energized, quick-witted and overall improve your sense of well-being.
How often should I microdose?
There are many options from once daily to 2-5 days a week. Personally, we microdose every day as a part of our morning routine but some other methods have been proven very effective. Dr. Fadiman’s Approach Dr. Fadiman recommends taking a microdose capsule once every 3 days to prevent any changes in tolerance. Workweek Approach For a boost in energy and cognition during a hard work week, this approach recommends taking one microdose capsule 5 days a week, and taking the weekend off. Balanced Approach Kind of like Dr. Fadiman’s approach, this balanced approach will help prevent changes in tolerance but instead of once every three days, you’d be taking a microdose capsule once every other day.
How do I know if microdosing is working?
Most of the work microdosing will do for you is in the background, it may be a little challenging to know if microdosing is working for you. The compounds in magic mushrooms are proven to help rewire the brain, however, this takes time and because of that, the effects might not seem super dramatic. If you look a little deeper you should notice some major changes in your outlook, emotional and mental health, creativity and more. You should notice an overall change in perceived well-being, possibly less bothered by things that would normally really bug you, you could find yourself worrying less and enjoying the world around you more. Microdosing isn’t a magic “cure-all” but it’s a very powerful tool for changing your outlook on life and allowing you to be a more well-rounded you.
What are Calm Caps? Ashwagandha / Magic mushroom special blend.
They're possibly our favourite product! We’ve been buying Ashwagandha from our local health food store for about 8 years now, usually, we put it in tea but sometimes make capsules for on the road. While we like the taste of ashwagandha, the taste might not be everybody’s cup of tea (the same goes for psilocybin mushrooms) so we decided to combine 2 of our all time favourite natural healing products into one capsule! Our new product is called Calm Caps and we are very excited about it. Each capsule contains 100mg of dried psilocybe cubensis mushrooms and 250mg of ashwagandha root powder. We take these in the morning and sometimes in the evening if it’s been a tough day.
