Magic
mushrooms
are a powerful, naturally occurring hallucinogenic.
There
are about a dozen varieties of hallucinogenic mushrooms found
growing in the wild in the UK, the most popular being the
'Liberty Cap' (Psilocybe Semilanceata). The harvesting season is
between September and November. After picking, mushrooms are
usually eaten raw, cooked, made into a drink, or dried for later
consumption. They are usually sold loose in bags or crushed into
tablets.
The effects of mushrooms are very similar to acid, although some
report a more 'natural' high sometimes with a feeling of being
detached. Small doses can bring on excitement and euphoria,
while bigger doses (15 small UK grown mushrooms or more) can
bring on shape and colour distortions and vivid hallucinations.
