Understanding Psychedelics
Psilocybin and psilocin are the active compounds found in magic mushrooms and truffles.
- Psilocybin is a prodrug, meaning it converts into psilocin inside your body.
- Psilocin is what directly interacts with serotonin receptors, producing effects such as visual enhancement, introspection, emotional release, and altered perception of time and space.
Psilocybin and psilocin are known to promote neuroplasticity — helping the brain form new connections and potentially break old thought patterns.
