Tolerance to psilocybin builds and dissipates quickly; ingesting psilocybin more than about once a week can lead to diminished effects. Tolerance dissipates after a few days, so doses can be spaced several days apart to avoid the effect. [ 6 ]
However, tolerance to psilocybin is a well understood concept, with repeatedly higher doses being needed in order to achieve the same effect, due to the down regulation of 5HT2A receptors. [6] There is also documented cross-tolerance between psilocybin and LSD, meaning that a higher dose of these substances is needed to get the same effect when ...
Psilocybin and psilocin create short-term increases in tolerance of users, thus making it difficult to misuse them because the more often they are taken within a short period, the weaker the resultant effects are. [33] Psilocybin mushrooms have not been known to cause physical or psychological dependence (addiction). [34]

To date studies have explored the utility of psilocybin in a variety of diseases, including TRD, [14] [15] smoking addiction, [16] [17] and anxiety and depression in people with cancer diagnoses. [18] LSD is being tested in phase 2 trials for cluster headaches and anxiety. [19] DMT is being studied for depression. [20]
(with 22 mg) A slow onset. It took an hour for a plus one, and almost another two hours to get to a +++.

Acute diarrhea at about the fourth hour but no other obvious physical problems. Erotic lovely.
