//How does Psilocybin affect us?//
After taking mushrooms, the psilocybin is absorbed into the bloodstream. The speed with which it reaches the brain depends on how they are taken. The effects of psilocybin are felt within thirty minutes if eaten raw. They last for about three to six hours. Some people may experience hallucinations for up to four days.

//Short-Term Effects//
