Psychologists say that few things can truly alter someone's personality in adulthood, but magic mushrooms may be one of those things. A study found that after one dose of psilocybin, people became more open to new experiences for at least 14 months, a shockingly stable change.
People with open personalities are more creative and more appreciative of art, and they value novelty and emotion. The reason for the change seems to be psilocybin's effects on emotions.
People describe mushroom trips as extremely profound experiences, and report feelings of joy and connectedness to others and to the world around them. These transcendent experiences appear to linger. In the experiments, the researchers took great pains to assure their participants did not experience "bad trips," as some people respond to psilocybin with panic, nausea and vomiting.
Volunteers were kept safe in a room with peaceful music and calming surroundings. Another strange side effect of magic mushrooms: They destroy fear. A study in mice found that when dosed with psilocybin , the animals became less likely to freeze up when they heard a noise they had learned to associate with a painful electric shock. Mice that were not given the drug also gradually relaxed around the noise, but it took longer.
The mice were given a low dose of psilocybin, and the researchers said they hope this animal study will inspire more work on how mushrooms might be used to treat mental health problems in people.
For example, small doses of psilocybin could be explored as a way to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, the researchers said. Mushrooms don't just exist to get people high, of course; they have their own lives. And part of that life is reproduction. Like other fungi, mushrooms reproduce via spores, which travel the breeze to find a new place to grow. But mushrooms often live in sheltered areas on forested floors, where the wind doesn't blow.
To solve the problem of spreading their spores, some 'shrooms including the hallucinogenic Amanita muscaria create their own wind. Tom, another anonymous UBC student, described his first shroom trip at night on a beach as one of the best days he had at UBC. Shrooms can induce negative affects as well, such as nausea, dizziness, mood swings, anxiety, confusion and paranoia.
Many experienced shroom users will often tell first timers to make sure they are in a safe and comfortable environment.
A trip can last between about three to eight hours, depending on the dosage. Having a bad trip with an altered sense of time for that long can be really stressful. A third went as far as saying it was the single most spiritual experience in their life. Two months later, 79 per cent of subjects reported either a moderate or great increase in their well-being or life satisfaction compared to those given a placebo at the same test session.
The world around us is amazing and I was more inspired artistically.
