Mushroom Effect On the Brain
Humans have been taking psychedelic or 'magic' mushrooms for 900 years. To this day, this naturally occurring fungus is commonly used as a recreational drug, causing hallucinations, but how does it actually work? Cal psilocybin is the main psychoactive substance in shoe makers. When swallowed, the body breaks it down into active Ps drug silosin, which leads to the brain. And here, it begins to stop the bursting of the neurotransmitter serotonin, increasing its activity. On top of this, psilocybin actually has a chemical structure similar to serotonin, which means it can bind and stimulate receptors in the brain. This extended stimulus causes you to see and experience things without a real stimulus - also known as hallucinations. These can be of a different nature from visual to auditory sensations or from spiritual and practical sensations. The experience was very enjoyable, with some users reporting very unpleasant episodes. These feelings usually last between 3-8 hours, but the medication will feel longer.

Visualisation Impact
Scientists have suggested that the brain may temporarily alter order by disrupting normal brain activity and creating new biologically stable brain connections. This, in the end, makes it harder to determine reality than fiction and increases the intensity of your thinking, making planning and self-conscious thinking almost impossible. We also see activation in the hippocampus and anterior cingulate cortex associated with dreams. * Finally, specific emotional areas of the brain are chemically active, leading to the expansion of consciousness. And since medicine temporarily changes the path of your brain, 'thinking outside the box' is very natural. In a well-known American study, 36 college-educated participants were given silicobins and viewed in the laboratory. 1/3 of the participants reported the experience as the most spiritually important moment of their lives, with Putrids placed in their top five. Two months after taking Shadhan, 79% of participants reported an increase in well-being and satisfaction. Friends and family were also interviewed with these claims. But all of this was not so positive - 22% of those who were clinically tested experienced fear and insanity at some point in their journey. And because of the state of their mind, these are usually expressed as terrible and uncontrollable hallucinations. * L Although still unknown to most people, they are not considered clinically addictive and cause less toxicity to other organ systems. In fact, a UK study has found that they are less harmful to individuals and others - compared to other entertainment drugs. Finally, scientists need to change the laws surrounding the clinical testing of medicine so that modern research can be implemented to fully understand the positive and negative effects of this "magic" fungus on our minds.
