If you have this call Feel free to let's talk together about whether such a deep inner journey and mystical experience is right and timely for you. In research, accompanied psychedelic experiences were carried out at various groups of people examined, i.e. both people with mental illnesses such as Depressions, fears, compulsions or addictions as well as psychologically “healthy” people. For Great potential was reported for both of these groups and so were the risks considered (more about this below). There are groups of people for whom a psilocybin experience is not recommended. Whether with you If there is an exclusion criterion due to increased risk, is always ahead of experience extensively examined by our psychological and therapeutic team.

To a certain extent, you can determine your dose yourself. Our recommendation is when eating 25-30 grams of fresh psilocybin-containing truffles. But you can also Choose a slightly lower or higher dose. The exact amount of psilocybin in 1 g of fresh truffles may vary slightly and is Varieties around 1mg per gram. According to our experience, the exact dose is within of a certain area is not decisive for the type or intensity of the experience. In scientific studies, for a “high” dose, which is a mystical experience triggers, often 25 mg, sometimes 40 mg and in individual cases up to 60 mg psilocybin administered. In some studies, a “fixed” dose is chosen, in others it varies depending on body weight. So here too, there are fluctuations and no clear Evidence that, in this context, the dose triggers a qualitatively different experience. Since there is a certain amount of leeway here, we would like to give you a personal feel for Be sure to consider the choice of dose.

There has been very intensive research on psilocybin in recent decades. In addition to the in the The potentials and benefits described in numerous publications have also been Risks considered. Here, too, a distinction must be made between studies that have had experience in consider controlled study conditions (prior testing for risk factors, controlled and safe setting, support by experienced personnel). A meta-study (Ruscoe, 2022) has 52 individual studies with such adverse event conditions, Compatibility and safety investigated. None of these studies included “serious Adverse events” and none of them have classified psilocybin as unsafe. Yet there are case reports of people for whom psilocybin had adverse consequences particularly outside of these controlled conditions. More specifically, there are Association with “uncontrolled” use in rare cases reports of psychotic episodes and repeated or prolonged anxiety.
