Magic Mushrooms

 

Slang:

Mushies, happies, sillies, shrooms, purple passion, caps

Background:

Several types of magic mushrooms grow wild in the UK; the most common is the Liberty Cap (Psilocybe Semilanceata). Magic mushrooms are eaten raw, dried, cooked in food, or stewed in tea.

The Effects:

  • Magic mushrooms produce a similar effect to LSD, but the 'trip' tends to be shorter and milder (about 4 hours).
  • Feelings of euphoria, excitement, or relaxation (spaced-out) may result.
  • Hallucinations can occur, especially when high doses are taken, meaning users experience visual and/or sound distortions.

    The Risks:

  • Ingesting magic mushrooms can cause stomach pains, nausea and vomiting.
  • Bad 'trips' can happen, and there's no going back until the effects have worn off.
  • Like any hallucinogen, magic mushrooms can complicate existing mental problems.
  • Serious health risk and even death may result due to eating the wrong kind of mushrooms.

    The Law:

  • It is not illegal to pick, posses or eat raw magic mushrooms.
  • Magic mushrooms are classified as a Class A drug when they are dried, cooked, boiled, or crushed or prepared to be used as a drug.

    If you are planning to take this drug...

  • Bad 'trips' are more likely to occur with users who are depressed or mentally unstable.
  • If you have taken magic mushrooms and you feel unwell, go straight to hospital with the sample and explain what's happened.
  • A real danger is eating the wrong type of mushroom, many mushrooms which look like magic mushrooms are poisonous.
