Magic mushrooms & cultivation

What exactly is a magic mushroom?

A "magic mushroom" in our context refers to a mushroom of the species Psilocybe cubensis, also known as psychedelic mushrooms.

How long does it take to cultivate magic mushrooms?

Depending on your experience, environment conditions and temperature — magic mushroom cultivation can take anywhere between 6 and 10 weeks.

Is it legal for me to grow or consume magic mushrooms?

This is an important topic you need to check with your local laws and regulations. In countries such as Greece, Netherlands, Austria, Bahamas, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Nepal and Samoa, both cultivation and consumption of magic mushrooms are legal. These laws and regulations are changing rapidly, with Canada and several states in the US now decriminalizing psychedelics all together. It is your responsibility to verify the legal status of magic mushroom cultivation in your location before you attempt to grow.

Can consuming magic mushrooms be dangerous?

Yes. While magic mushrooms are considered to contain some of the safest psychoactive compounds that exist, their use comes with certain dangers which you need to be aware of before making a decision about consumption. Make sure to educate yourself on the benefits and dangers of magic mushrooms before considering consumption. You can read more about this topic over at the shroomcircle.
