Psychoactive mushrooms are currently enjoying increasing popularity. Despite the significant risks associated with their consumption, uncertainty surrounding long-term negative effects and the fact that they are illegal in most countries, the number of their advocates is rising, albeit at a low level. The overall prevalence<sup>1<\/sup> of LSD and magic mushrooms is less than 1% in the EU.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6353\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6353\" class=\"wp-image-6353 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Zauberpilz-Aufzuchtkits_3x2.jpeg\" alt=\"Kleine Pilze in einem Aufzuchtkit\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6353\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Kits for growing magic mushrooms \u201cat home\u201d are banned in Germany but can be ordered in the Netherlands.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>There are 186 varieties of mushroom worldwide that are known to have hallucinogenic effects. Most belong to the genus Psilocybe (Latin for \u201cbald head\u201d). The best-known psychoactive mushroom is the liberty cap.<\/p>\n<p>All these mushrooms have a similar effect. They contain two substances, psilocybin and psilocin, that are responsible for their psychedelic or hallucinogenic effect.<\/p>\n<p>Psilocybin itself is not psychoactive and is only converted into active psilocin in the body after it has been ingested. Psilocin is similar to the neurotransmitter serotonin, the \u201chappy hormone\u201d that is produced naturally in the brain. This similarity allows psilocin to dock at certain serotonin docking sites in the brain and activate them.<\/p>\n<h2>Effect<\/h2>\n<p>Mushrooms are usually eaten in dried form. In some cases, they are smoked or processed into biscuits, honey or chocolate. However, they can also be consumed raw.<\/p>\n<p>It can take up to 40 minutes for the effect to kick in. Until this happens, the user experiences twitching in the arms and legs, feelings of warmth and giggling fits. The rush that then occurs may last for up to six hours, with the experience ranging from stimulating to intensely hallucinogenic. Bad trips are very common, even if magic mushrooms are used in safe environments and if the user is in a good emotional state. Perception is altered across all sensory channels (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch). The effects trigged by psilocybin\/psilocin are comparable with those of LSD. However, mushrooms take effect more quickly and the effects are more short-lived. The come-down is also faster and is generally less unpleasant.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6354\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6354\" class=\"wp-image-6354 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Konsumierfaehige-getrocknete-Zauberpilze_Magic-Mushrooms_3x2.jpeg\" alt=\"Glas mit getrockneten Pilzen auf wei\u00dfem Hintergrund\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6354\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Edible dried mushrooms<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The strength of the effect depends both on the mushroom itself and on the user\u2019s mood. Mushrooms, as a natural product, are not standardised, and so each mushroom may have a different concentration of psilocybin. The risk of an overdose is very high. It appears that psilocybin does not cause physical or psychological dependency. However, it has been observed that a small degree of tolerance develops with long-term consumption, leading users to increase the dose.<\/p>\n<p>There are no rapid screening tests to detect whether a person has consumed psilocybin. Time-consuming laboratory testing is required to prove consumption. Tests to detect psilocybin are not routinely performed as part of roadside screening or in similar situations. If consumption is suspected, a laboratory test is ordered.<\/p>\n<p>Those who know what they\u2019re doing can pick their own mushrooms in autumn. However, this entails a high risk of picking the wrong species. At best, this means that nothing happens because a harmless mushroom is consumed. At worst, the user may succumb to fungus poisoning.<\/p>\n<h2>Contrary opinions<\/h2>\n<p>Mushrooms containing psilocybin first became popular after an article on them appeared in a lifestyle magazine in 1957. They became a recreational drug for hippies, drop-outs and shamans, as well as those moving in artistic and intellectual circles. However, this trend soon faded. It is only since around 1990 that magic mushrooms have experienced renewed popularity. Sales in \u201csmart shops\u201d grew sharply and the \u201cback to nature\u201d trend guaranteed an interest in biological substances. This time, however, mushrooms never went away \u2013 thanks to active interest groups becoming established, in particular on the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>At present, various institutions are researching the extent to which these mushrooms could be used as a basis for anti-depressant medication.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-2cs86x-a44fa5e9317b58e0fb7f8dcfc1ff89e9 hr-default  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mn31g8h0-35c042a022090fdc5487493d436172ec '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Psychoactive mushrooms in combination with other drugs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 13.2797%; text-align: left;\">THC<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 86.7203%; text-align: left;\">May lead to long-lasting psychological disturbances<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 13.2797%; text-align: left;\">Alcohol, nicotine\/THC:<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 86.7203%; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle;\">Increases the likelihood of nausea, vomiting, circulatory problems and a loss of consciousness<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 13.2797%; text-align: left;\">Ecstasy<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 86.7203%; text-align: left;\">Intensifies the effect<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-bca31578670ae9d408d6d6d291fc57a6 hr-default  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-8c42a04d92c3f2cb4661d2848f7655e2 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>The legal situation<\/h3>\n<p>In Germany, the active substances psilocybin and psilocin are listed as controlled substances in the Narcotics Act (BtMG). The possession and dealing of mushrooms containing psilocybin can therefore be construed as the possession and dealing of narcotics, which is a prosecutable offence. The possession of mushroom spores and the growing of mushrooms containing psilocybin can also result in prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>In the Netherlands, the sales and possession of psychoactive mushrooms were similarly outlawed in 2008. However, truffles (fruiting types of mushrooms) containing psilocybin and mushroom-growing kits can be sold and are also distributed by online shops. Magic mushrooms are legal in Jamaica and Mexico. In the United States, mushrooms containing psilocybin were decriminalised in the summer of 2019 in the cities of Denver, Oakland, Santa Cruz and Ann Arbor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-mluuwmob-eec218320ab71a1275f0b8372667197c hr-default  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mluuqu8f-4c6bf32995833a88b8b63b59e3d3c18c '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Sources:<br \/>\n<sup>1<\/sup>European Drug Report 2019, Lisbon, page 56 ff<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Image source: Securetec AG; Fotolia AdobeStock 347547674, 382112982, 39758640<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-20kcv3-fb1157b8f4b4ac8bee1de96942828add\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-20kcv3-fb1157b8f4b4ac8bee1de96942828add{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-20kcv3-fb1157b8f4b4ac8bee1de96942828add hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mmt4nfqo-92052e20f9963c231fac36d9a5f0878e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"><div class='w3eden'><!-- WPDM Link Template: Default Template -->\n\n<div class=\"link-template-default card mb-2\">\n    <div class=\"card-body\">\n        <div class=\"media\">\n            <div class=\"mr-3 img-48\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpdm_icon\" alt=\"Icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/plugins\/download-manager\/assets\/file-type-icons\/pdf.svg\" \/><\/div>\n            <div class=\"media-body\">\n                <h3 class=\"package-title\"><a href='https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/download\/securetec-newsletter-the-magic-mushroom-revival\/'>Securetec newsletter: The Magic Mushroom Revival<\/a><\/h3>\n                <div class=\"text-muted text-small\"><i class=\"fas fa-copy\"><\/i> 1 file(s) <i class=\"fas fa-hdd ml-3\"><\/i> 729.61 KB<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"ml-3\">\n                <a class='wpdm-download-link download-on-click btn btn-primary ' rel='nofollow' href='#' data-downloadurl=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/en\/download\/securetec-newsletter-the-magic-mushroom-revival\/?wpdmdl=6346&refresh=6ac519f66dfc91791302134\">Download<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While magic mushrooms cannot be considered genuine competition for LSD, they enthral their devotees with a similar effect.
