The word “psychedelic” comes from Greek words meaning “mind manifesting” or “mind revealing.” It now defines a variety of substances, some synthetic and some natural, including psilocybin (the chemical component of “magic mushrooms”), MDMA (ecstasy/molly), and LSD (acid).

Many cultures have a long tradition of using psychedelics for spiritual, religious, and healing purposes. Like many psychoactive substances (for example alcohol, cannabis, or opioids), psychedelics affect a person’s senses, thinking, and mood.

They can induce a range of psychological effects, which can be quite potent depending on the substance and the dose. What sets psychedelics apart from other substances is that they can produce “altered” states of consciousness. 

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound produced by more than 200 species of fungi. In general, the effects include euphoria, visual and mental hallucinations, changes in perception, distorted sense of time, and perceived spiritual experiences.

Please read the product descriptions carefully to find the best experience for you. One of the benefits of Beverly Chills products is our predictably consistent dosing. Check out our helpful dosage guide to guide you. Psilocybin, LSD and MDMA have similar effects but create different personal experiences. 

Our dosage guide can help you choose the differences between a low and high dose. Generally, a low dose gives you a mild mood boost, while a high dose can create visual and auditory hallucinations.

The length of time will vary based on a variety of factors including body weight, food eaten, hydration level, and the type of product.

Generally, you should not plan to operate a vehicle for at least 5 to 8 hours for any product. Psilocybin can affect you in waves, so you may feel like your trip is over when it isn’t.

Some people find that our low-dose products, in particular psilocybin, mix well with a cocktail. It’s not recommended as a general practice.
