effects an individual often takes in with a great
sense of wonder and awe. Based on these types of
experiences, the label "psychoesthetica" has been
used as well.
During the 1950's, those experiments of a
purely pharmacological nature revealed that,
within a specific low dosage range, the effects of
psilocybin and LSD were largely similar, except
for the shorter duration of the psilocybin
experience. That is why there are numerous
comparisons in the literature of 10 mg of
psilocybin with 100 ug of LSD as equivalent
dosages.
There are several authors, however, who
focus on the more visionary and metaphysical
nature of the psilocybin experience compared to
other hallucinogenic substances. A. Hofmann
conducted self-experiments with both substances
and found the altered state

of consciousness
induced by psilocybin to be both deeper and
somewhat gloomier than those produced
Magic by LSD.
Other investigators have portrayed
psilocybin as "friendlier" - a substance that is not
as fierce as LSD in exposing possible traumas
hidden within the subconscious mind (see Chapter
3.2). Such differences in comparative evaluations
of psilocybin and LSD are likely linked to a
variety of factors, such as dosage differences,
research protocols less than comprehensive and
exhaustive in scope, as well as personality and
environmental variables.
LSD "Flashbacks"
R. Fischer conducted a series of
experiments designed to study the effects of
psilocybin compared to LSD and mescaline. The
results confirmed what had already been common
knowledge among those who used the mushrooms
in various contexts around the world: "flashbacks"
are quite rare, and very mild, if they occur at all,
nor do abnormal symptoms persist
once the effects of the alkaloid have worn off.
Widespread reports of LSD-induced "flashbacks"
spawned biochemical theories which falsely
postulate that LSD is stored inside the body and
can be released at a later time to induce short
periods of visions and other "psychotic"
manifestations. Such conjecture about the body's
"storage capacity" persisted despite prior evidence
to the contrary that established LSD as a substance
rapidly metabolized and eliminated from the body.
The assumption of a prolonged storage
period following ingestion of LSD had already
been debunked by LSD-assisted psychotherapy
during the 1960's. According to M. Hausner, who
worked in the former Czechoslovakia, several
patients who went through a series of LSD
Mushroom Kits Shrooms sessions
did experience "flashbacks" in between sessions.
However, the therapeutic administration of
hallucinogens was continued in these cases and
those flashback episodes that did occur were far
less spectacular than expected based on some of
the more dramatic descriptions of the phenomenon.
Within the context of M. Hausner's studies,
flashback episodes turned out to be merely
temporary manifestations of issues that had
reached the conscious mind. Moreover, flashbacks
