Guides, strain profiles, safety info, and science — everything you need to use psilocybin with intention.

Before your first time

✓
Start low, go slow. Begin with Level 1 and a small amount. Wait at least 2 hours before deciding whether to take more, especially with edibles.
✓
Set and setting. Pick a calm, familiar place and a day with nothing else planned. Your mood going in matters.
✓
Bring a sober friend. Especially for your first time or a higher level, have someone you trust nearby who isn't taking anything.
✓
Check your medications. Talk to a doctor first if you take any medication. Lithium can be dangerous with psilocybin, and antidepressants can change or block the effects. Avoid alcohol and other substances.
✓
Don't drive. No driving or operating anything for the rest of the day.
✓
If it gets intense. Change the music or the room, breathe slowly, and remember it will pass. If someone has trouble breathing, chest pain, a seizure, or is in danger, call 911.
