WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PSILOCYBIN POWDER AND LIQUID?
The main difference between psilocybin powder and liquid is how quickly the effects are felt and how long they last. When consumed as a powder, psilocybin mushrooms must be digested in the stomach before the effects are felt, which can take 30-60 minutes or more. In contrast, liquid psilocybin begins being absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the mouth with less breakdown necessary, so the effects can be felt much more quickly, typically within 15-30 minutes.
HOW LONG DO THE EFFECTS LAST?
In addition to the onset time, the duration of the effects can also differ between the two forms. When consumed as a powder, the effects can last for several hours, typically 4-6 hours. Liquid psilocybin, on the other hand, may have a shorter duration of effects, lasting around 2-4 hours. This is not always the case, so it makes sense to plan for the full 6-hour duration with any dose higher than a microdose.
IS DOSAGE HIGHER FOR PSILOCYBIN IN LIQUID FORM?
The dosage of psilocybin can vary depending on the form it is consumed in, but it is not necessarily higher in liquid form. The potency of psilocybin can vary greatly depending on the species of mushroom and the growing conditions, so the dosage must be determined by the amount of psilocybin present rather than the form it is consumed in.
When consumed as a liquid, the concentration of psilocybin can be more accurately measured, which can help to ensure that the dosage is consistent and precise. However, it’s important to note that the dosage of psilocybin should always be carefully measured and monitored, regardless of the form it is consumed in.
It’s also important to note that the effects of psilocybin can vary greatly depending on individual factors such as body weight, metabolism, and tolerance, so it’s crucial to start with a low dosage and gradually increase as needed to avoid negative side effects.
NOT ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE EQUAL!
The recommended dosage (not our recommendation) may be greatly different with a powder form vs. a liquid form vs. an edible. Therefore, it is very important to do your research before consuming any psychedelic substance.
Please remember, regardless of the form, psilocybin should always be consumed responsibly and with caution, and under the guidance of a medical professional if necessary.
