Drug Info - Magic Mushrooms

Other names
fly agaric, liberty cap, liberties, mushies, psilocybe, psilocybin, shrooms

Magic mushrooms grow in the wild in th UK between September and November.

When eaten or boiled and drunk they cause a mild hallucinogenic effect. The more mushrooms taken the stronger the effect.

Users usually feel giggly and confident, although larger doses can cause disorientation, confusion and paranoia. Bad trips can be terrifying.

Some users suffer from sickness and/or diarrhoea.

Using magic mushrooms can complicate any mental health problems a user may have.

Its difficualt to know whether the mushrooms you are picking or taking are ‘Magic’ ones. There are lots of other poisonous mushrooms that look the same, these ones can make you REALLY ill (sick, the runs NICE!).
