Magic Mushrooms, (commonly referred to as “Shrooms”) are fungi that contain psilocybin and psilocin.
These, psilocybin-containing mushrooms are commonly sought after and ingested for their psychoactive effects.
There are no apt words … to characterize your state when you are, shall we say, ‘bemushroomed.’ … How do you tell a man born blind what seeing is like? [the mushroom] permits you to see, more clearly than our pershing mortal eye can see, vistas beyond the horizons of this life, to travel backwards and forwards in time, even (as the Indians say) to know God. …You feel that an indissoluble bond unites you with the others who have shared with you in the sacred agape … All that you see during this night has a pristine quality: the landscape, the edifices, the carvings, the animals – they look as though they had come straight from the Maker’s workshop. This newness of everything – it is as though the world had just dawned – overwhelms you and melts you with its beauty.
