Last weekend, on June 10th, we attended TEDxMarin. It was a TEDxSalon event that focused on in-depth exploration of Psychedelic Science and Medicine. The lineup was thought-provoking and informative, guiding us through the cutting-edge world of psychedelic science and medicine. The distinguished speakers explored a wide range of topics, from the various types of psychedelic therapies to the ethical considerations surrounding these substances, their legal status, and the profound cultural implications they carry. The event also ventured into the intriguing realm of the complexities of the human mind and consciousness.

When people ingest psilocybin, it affects the way the brain processes sensory information, including time perception. This can lead to a distorted sense of time during a trip, where time may seem to move slower or faster than usual, or even appear to stop altogether. Some people may experience time in a non-linear way, where the past, present, and future all blend together, making it difficult to discern what is happening in the present moment.

We at Psilocybin San Francisco promote the safe and responsible use of psychedelics, which is why we always recommend having a trip sitter while you are on a psychedelic journey. While it's true that many trips result in positive experiences beyond our expectations, we must also ask a question: what occurs when a trip goes wrong, and you find yourself alone?

In my 10 years of psychedelic use, I have come to understand that the decision to use magic mushrooms is not based only on the buzz happening. Rather, many factors influence one's decision to use psilocybin-containing mushrooms, also called magic mushrooms. By understanding these factors, we can make more informed and conscious decisions. Since there are many factors at stake, in this post, I will choose the most important 6 factors.
