Psilocybin
What is Psilocybin?
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychoactive compound found in more than 200 species of fungi around the world. Commonly referred to as “magic mushrooms” or “hallucinogenic mushrooms”, they cause a psychedelic (or “mind revealing”) experience for the consumer, including changes in mood, perception, behavior, and expand one’s understanding of past, present, and future experiences. Psilocybin has been used for millennia by indigenous tribes for spiritual and medicinal purposes and continues to be widely used today.
Why Psilocybin?
A growing number of medical and academic research studies have confirmed psilocybin’s many benefits, and it is slowly becoming a widespread means of treating various physical and mental diseases (“dis+ease”). Described by many as a “life-changing” experience, Psilocybin helps improve one’s general state of mind and body. Known to bypass the restrictive circuit of the “default mode network” in the brain, psilocybin is thought to increase connectivity throughout the entire brain, repairing connections that have been previously shut down due to depression or disuse. Several studies have shown the benefits of psilocybin in the functioning of the brain even after just a single dose. It is therefore with great joy that I can offer safe, therapeutic sessions in which clients can use psilocybin legally.
