TRUE ALBINO TEACHER-14G-MAGIC MUSHROOMS

True Albino Teacher varies from slightly above average potency to significantly above average potency—it is like Golden Teacher in that respect but more so. The trip effects themselves, though, are about the same as for all other cubes.

Psilocybin trips vary a lot, but the strain of the mushroom is not a very important variable. Instead, what really matters is the set and setting of the user, as well as the user’s personal biochemistry and, of course, the dose. Psilocybin alters consciousness in three ways: perception, cognition, and mood.

Changes in perception mean hallucinations, though these are very dose-dependent. A very small dose might not alter perception at all, while still changing both mood and thought-patterns. Even at moderate recreational doses, hallucinations might remain subtle—a brightening of colors, walls breathing, and so forth. It is only a very high doses that a person sees things that just totally aren’t there.

Changes in cognition mean, ideally, important personal and spiritual insight, though these will be less important than they seem if the user doesn’t take the time afterwards to integrate and understand them. Changes in mood ideally mean feelings of euphoria and connectedness, though horrible anxiety is also an option. Psilocybin is often said to enhance whatever feelings the user brings to the experience, hence the importance of establishing a pleasant and safe setting and a positive mindset before beginning—although experienced psyconauts can find much of value in a “bad” trip, too.

It’s worth noting that psilocybin doesn’t only alter the mind. Some people suspect it of being useful for treating a variety of medical conditions, plus side effects can include excessive yawning, nausea, and problems with balance and coordination. More serious side effects are rare, but possible. Use caution.
