Shrooms are highly psychedelic and hallucinating in nature. People temporarily love the effects of freedom from reality and bad experiences, but it is very detrimental to one’s life if one stays for a long time. Therefore, it is essential to know how much time this mushroom and its metabolites spend in your body after consumption. While the standard time of stay of the main shroom component, Psilocybin, is 15 hours, it may not always be accurate. It is an average time that varies depending on different factors.

If you are worried about the long duration effects of Magic Mushrooms, go through this article to find out if it will meet your interests or not.

How long does it take the Effects to appear?

The effects of Magic Mushrooms start showing up within 30 minutes if your body is sensitive to Shrooms. It may also differ depending on how you ingest it. It may be mixed with food or tea. The effects of tea usually come faster than those of food items. If you take Magic Mushrooms with tea, the results will start appearing within as few as 5 to 10 minutes.

Which Factors affect the Shrooms’ Duration of Stay in the Body?

Considering the research and consumers’ experiences, the shroom high won’t stay for more than 4 to 6 hours. However, no two human bodies are the same, and thus their experiences also vary. However, its effects don’t vanish this soon. Some effects stay until the next day, and you may feel its influence even 24 hours after consuming Shrooms.

If a body is sensitive to shrooms, you will feel effects more quickly, and they will last long; in fact, they will be much more intense. Contrarily, the onset of the impact will be slower, and they won’t be intense if your body is tolerant to shrooms. Following are a few factors that influence shrooms’ duration of stay in the body:

• Your tolerance
• The potency of shrooms (whether it is fresh or dried)
• Your age
• The dosage of shrooms
• The mushroom species
• How you consume them
• Your perception and expectations
• Its interaction with other substances you may have taken

A person’s kidneys are responsible for the processing of this compound. Kidneys usually fasten the process and excrete most of Psilocybin in a few hours, but in some cases, it may take much more time.

A study has explained that the body gets rid of around 66% Psilocybin in Magic Mushrooms in the first three hours of consumption. Even a urine test can’t detect any Psilocybin after 24 hours of ingestion.

 It is not usually predictable, so you must take a small test dose before getting a proper dose. Remember that the effects from a bad trip don’t go off as quickly as they have a more brutal toll on previously deteriorated mental health.

How long does the Psilocybin High Last?

Although Psilocybin takes some hours to leave the body, the high peak effects usually don’t persist that long. The maximal results are gained in about one hour, and the intense hallucinations take 3-6 hours to shake off. As discussed earlier, the receptors and neurotransmitters have different sensitivity levels in other people. Hence, the duration of high varies from person to person.

The maximum high effects of Psilocybin and their duration in a person depend on the following factors:

• Metabolism of a person
• Weight and body composition of a person
• Dosage and potency of the product
• Age of a person
• The form of Mushrooms, i.e., tea or dried food.
• The tolerance levels of a person
• Pre-existing mental condition and current state of mind of the person
• The other drugs that the person is taking

If you have some extreme mental condition, it is better to consult your therapist or physician before taking Shrooms as they may exaggerate some mental conditions, i.e., in bipolar people.

Can I Pass Drug Test with Magic Mushrooms?

Yes, that’s where Psilocybin differs from Cannabis. The metabolism of Psilocybin is relatively speedy, and thus it leaves the body in no time. None of the tests looks for the metabolites of Psilocybin or shrooms. However, some tests may detect hallucinogenic compounds. Saliva, urine, and blood tests can’t detect shrooms after 24 hours, but the hair follicle test may reveal it if the test is done later after the ingestion.

Takeaway:

Shroom components don’t stay in for weeks or even days. Thus, if you want to go for drug testing through saliva, blood, or urine, quitting the ingestion of shrooms even a couple of days before drug testing will not do any harm.
