Mushrooms – Amazonian

A long-time people’s favourite, Amazonian Cubensis are one of the most widely-available and popular strains out there!

Amazon shrooms, also known as PES Amazonians, are a potent strain of psilocybe cubensis. These grow abundantly in regions of Central and South America, where they are used recreationally as well as ceremoniously. Amazon shrooms are known for their high potency, with higher levels of psilocybin and psilocin than average. A high on Amazonian Cubensis usually lasts between 6-8 hours.

Amazons are preferred by indigenous cultures who value them for helping attain spiritual enlightement. People often describe this high as strong, but more cerebral than hallucinogenic. Visual and auditory hallucinations and distortions still occur, but the effects are less pronounced compared to other strains. Amazonian Cubensis are often sought out for the cerebral and spiritual qualities of the high shroom-takers experience.

Effects differ markedly depending on dosage. A microdose, for example, will enhance mood, make you feel more emotionally stable, empathetic and mentally lucid, making meditation easier and boosting productivity. Creative and connected thinking improve, but the mind becomes more clear, present and peaceful.

An epic dose of 5g or more will have powerful effects and can produce strong feelings of euphoria, mystical feelings and wonderment, insights and epiphanies, sensory hallucinations/distortions and a strong body high.
