Most recreational users of Psilocybe cubensis (when grown in vitro) require a dosage of 1 to 2 gm of dried mushrooms to produce an altered state of consciousness; a clinical dosage for Psilocybe cubensis, on the other hand, had previously been reported as ranging from 3 to 5 gm of dried material. This dosage would be comparable to the amount of fungal
Uk material consumed for religious purposes in a Mazatec Indian healing and curing ceremony. In 1982, one research team "found that the level of psilocybin and psilocin varies over a factor of 4 among various in vitro cultures of Psilocybe cubensis, while specimens from outdoors varied tenfold." A fresh dosage of Psilocybe cubensis in Australia would be approximately from 1 to 2 large mushrooms weighing up to as much as one fresh ounce, or as many as from 25 to 50 small mushrooms equaling the same weight amount.
Ethnopharmacologist Jonathan Ott (1976, 1993) noted that he has observed "the ingestion of from 0.5 gm to 5.9 gm dried weight (10 Net Magic Mushrooms Magic gm to 40 gm fresh)", of various species of Psilocybe. Dosage for Psilocybe subcubensis would be the same as for Psilocybe cubensis. Both of these latter two species are macroscopically alike. The usual dosage for Copelandia cyanescens required to induce psychedelic visual effects ranges from 1 to 3 large specimens (cap diameter c. 5 mm), or as many as 5 to l0 medium-sized mushrooms (cap diameter c. 2.5 mm); however, personal tolerance to this species may occur with continued use, and some who consume large amounts of this mushroom have reportedly ingested as many as 50 to 200 fresh specimens of various sizes.

ame was Alexander Schmitt, and I
knew that I had died in 1871. As related a child, I
travelled by boat to North America, together with
my parents and other immigrants. In the United
States, 1 changed my last name to Smith. I was a
logger in a small Kentucky town named Sharpville
or Shopville. My life there was hard and full of
sacrifices and I drank a lot of alcohol. These
circumstances of my existence were indicative of
my lifestyle, which included beating my wife and
otherwise mistreating her like the tyrant I was. As
the experience deepened, I completely identified
with the person of Alexander Smith.
During these
moments I forgot my native German altogether, and
my thinking processes unfolded entirely in English.
In this manner, I eventually experienced the last
hours of Alexander Smith's life. I was lying in bed
on several white sheets and was very ill. Suddenly I
knew that my wife had poisoned me, to put -Depression In
Magic Mushrooms Mushrooms an end to
my continuous degrading treatment of her over the
years.
I knew that I did not have long to live. I was
about to die. Fortunately, the experience ended
before I had to face the final struggle against death.
Today, over three years later, this unique experience
is still etched into my memory in vivid detail.
The experience's emotional impact has not
diminished with the passage of time.
Such experiences of earlier incarnations
cannot be explained in terms of the accepted tenets
of western science. In any case, a thorough attempt
should be made to research the existence and
historic accuracy of the locations and persons
involved. The individual who experienced the
events described above had never been to
Kentucky, did not know whether or not a town
named Sharpville or Shopville has ever existed
there and had never before had the slightest interest
in this U.S. state. Due to his strictly atheistic
upbringing, he had never thought such experiences
possible. S. Grof, however, has described similar
sequences and emphasized that they can occur
quite unexpectedly under the influence of
hallucinogens.
He also noted that such experiences
are not exactly unusual, when
an individual experiences repeated applications of
hallucinogenic substances.
In closing this section, I would like to
present a short account of an experience that
illustrates how the effects of psychotropic
substances can vary across individuals, depending
on the setting in which the experience takes place:
After ingestion of 0.6 g of pulverized
mushrooms in orange juice, the effects began to
manifest related after about 30 minutes: An endless
sequence of images behind closed eyes. At the same
time, no distinctly euphoric nor dysphoric
emotional states were noted; the reaction to these
images is most fittingly described as "temporary
amazement". The initial images of Mushroom Kits Shrooms entwined
ornaments changed with the passage of time and
became plants, some of whom had several surreal
characteristics not known to exist on Earth.
