Psilocin (also known as 4-Hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, aka 4-HO-DMT), is a natural psychedelic compound. It is mostly found in psilocybin mushrooms, aka magic mushrooms.
Psilocin is the exact substance responsible for the psychedelic effects of shrooms. The substance works by influencing serotonin receptors in the brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor. Next, you get a classic shroom trip:
- Altered perception;
- Improved mood;
- Changed thought patterns;
- Visual and auditory hallucinations;
- Emotional changes;
- Distorted sense of time.
Technically, when psilocybin from shrooms is ingested, it is converted by the body into psilocin, which is the active form that affects the brain. So psilocin in a 10mg per tablet form, with a total of 10 tablets per pack, is a more precise, controlled way to get the same effects.
By the way, research into psilocin and psilocybin has shown potential therapeutic benefits, including treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction.
