These effects are even hard to categorize and are different on different people, living in different environments or places, using at different times with many variations.

Psilocybin and many other psychedelics are generally considered to induce severe changes in people’s consciousness and perceptions.

The duration of its effect may vary on each person but is typically between four to six hours. However, the peak hours of the effects are the next two to three hours of consumption and start lessening gradually.

Effects of Psilocybin Mushrooms:

There is a long list of the effects of psilocybin mushroom as it affects consciousness; many changes are found, which are as follows:

• Personal insight and reflection

• Mood swings (excited, cheerful, anxiety, stress)

• Unusual observations

• Difference between reality and fantasy

• Thought and speech are uncommon

• Impaired judgments

• High hallucinations

• Objects appear in moving state (either real or fantasized with open or close eyes)

• Sensory enhancement

All these effects influence two major things set and setting. An Individual’s reaction may adjust to these perceptual changes with the change of the two terms mentioned.

SET: can be referred to as mindset. It is the psychological state of the person taking the drug and may also include his beliefs.

SETTING: these are the external factors and circumstances in which the person is. It includes the people and the environment in the surroundings.

These two factors, set and setting, can widely vary for each person and differently affect them while providing a different experience. Hence, the outcomes are expectedly different. They can range from the happiest level to excitement and deep frightening feelings. Some appear to have extremely positive feelings of joy and live life, whereas others may carry life-changing moments and stress around them if the environment is not suitable. Conclusively we can say that some parts can make you feel overwhelmed or may become psychologically jarring.
