Effects

Cognitive & Emotional

• Elevated Mood: Euphoria, emotional warmth, and connectedness—often more uplifting than classic psilocybin.
• After the Peak: Many users report a gentle “after-glow”—feeling more relaxed, breathing easier, enjoying deeper, more restorative sleep, and carrying a lingering sense of positivity for several days.
• Clear-Headed Insight: Introspection with minimal confusion at moderate doses.
• Synaesthesia: Blending of senses (e.g., “seeing” sounds) in some users.
• Potential for Bad Trips: Rare but can occur—maintain a calm setting and trusted company.

Visual Effects

• Enhanced Colors & Patterns: Intense, sometimes geometric visuals that “breathe” or morph.
• Closed-Eye Hallucinations: Fractals, landscapes, and shapes often more vivid than open-eye visuals.
• Tracers & Afterimages: Moving objects may leave streaks or lingering impressions.

Psychological Risks

• Anxiety & Paranoia: High doses or unsupportive environments can trigger acute distress, confusion, or panic.
• HPPD (Flashbacks): Rare cases of persistent visual disturbances or “tracers” may occur.
• Drug Interactions: Mixing with alcohol, stimulants, SSRIs/MAOIs, lithium, or tramadol can precipitate serotonin syndrome, seizures, or cardiovascular strain.

Physical Effects

• Mild Cardiovascular Changes: Increased heart rate and blood pressure.
• Nausea: Especially during the come-up at higher doses; ginger or light snacks may help.
• Temperature Fluctuations: Users often feel alternately warm or cold.
• Muscle Contractions: Transient, generally harmless tension.
• Dilated Pupils: Common, with possible dry mouth or yawning and tearing at higher doses.
• Motor Impairment: Slight coordination changes at higher doses.
