The Wikipedia page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogenic_bolete_mushroom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogenic_bolete_mushroom ) talks about effects lasting for days, even in animal studies. Some of the historical records claimed effects lasting even longer, from months to years, though this sounds like triggered psychosis.
So perhaps not very recreational as might be assumed given the topic.
- why-o-why 11mo ago"Days"?!? Hard pass. My experiments with shrooms in college was fun, but I couldn't deal with the 8-12 hours of hallucinating.
- subscribed 11mo agoI guess you didn't touch LSD? I think 12 would be considered short :) I knew personally someone whose trips usually took 48 hours. Unusually long, yes, and really exhausting.
- why-o-why 11mo agoLSD had the same duration with me, but more psychological & emotional impact. So I avoided it for two reasons. Weirdly, all my divorced 50+ year-old male peers are now into K and DMT. They are raving about DMT, but I feel like my brain is too frail-as-is.
- subscribed 11mo agoInteresting. Admittedly i wanted to try both but back then I didn't have opportunity, and now the mindspace is just not too.... Right for the risks. Maybe when I'm too old to worry and it's too late to care :)
- fluoridation 11mo agoDamn. 8-12? For me the peak always lasted 2-3 hours and I was sober again after 7 hours.
- shlant 11mo agoyea people in this thread saying 8-12 for psilocybin and 12 is short for LSD tells me these are either heroic doses or hyperbolizing.
- fluoridation 11mo agoNah. Everything I've read about hallucinogens says dose doesn't change effect duration, only intensity. Drugs do affect people differently, so I wouldn't jump straight to saying they're exaggerating. Also, 12 hours is definitely not short of LSD. I'd say it's the standard duration, with the peak lasting 7 hours. Longer trips can happen, at least to some people, but the default assumption should be about half a day.
- DonHopkins 11mo agoOr testifying about how long it felt like.
- why-o-why 11mo agoyou're right. i was only high for 20 minutes. happy now?
- DonHopkins 11mo agoMine lasted −12 + i hours, rotating through the imaginary plane.
- fluoridation 11mo agoRotating as a function of what?
- consumer451 11mo agoSorry to use a reddit-ism, but "this should be at the top" - for safety.
- mlrtime 11mo agoI wonder if Hamilton Morris has tried it yet. Hamilton, if you're reading let us know when you're going to let us hear about it :) For anyone vaguely interested in psychoactive/psychedelic drugs, his books and videos are amazing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton%27s_Pharmacopeia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton%27s_Pharmacopeia
