Psilocin

Psilocin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms, commonly known as "magic mushrooms." When ingested, it affects the brain's serotonin receptors, leading to altered perceptions, mood changes, and visual or auditory hallucinations. Psilocin is considered the active form, as it is derived from psilocybin, which is converted into psilocin in the body. The effects can vary widely depending on dosage, the individual's mindset, and the setting in which it is consumed. Research suggests potential therapeutic benefits, but psilocin is classified as a controlled substance in many places due to its psychoactive properties.
