Psilocybin Addiction

Psilocybin is a hallucinogen that occurs naturally in certain mushrooms. It can be extracted from these mushrooms and sold as a powder, pill, or liquid. The drug is often taken orally, but it can also be injected or smoked. The risk of having a “bad trip” when using psilocybin appears to increase with higher doses, and if you have a history of mental illness or use psilocybin frequently.
