How Mushrooms Add Magic to Music
Dosing injects a sense of wonder and unity to any party, transforming the already exciting atmosphere into a magical journey of lights, sound, and beauty.
Studies have shown that psilocybin can significantly boost the joy we get from soaking up some music – even if you typically struggle to get into the “party vibe.”
You can count on heightened senses, seamless immersion, and deeper connections with the music and the people around you.
Psychedelics have also been found to spark transcendent joy, wonder, and tenderness emotions while listening to music.
Maximizing the Magic: 3 Quick Tips
Start with a low dose, especially if you’re new to psychedelics or the festival environment.
Remember, you can always take more — you can never take less! When in doubt, start low, go slow, and trust the process.
Choose your setting wisely. Captured by the energy of the bass?
Find a place to dance that still let’s you pop out of the party to catch your break, cool down, and take in the sights.
Feeling less festive?
Find a calm, safe space around the festival grounds where you feel comfortable. Surround yourself with trusted friends who understand and support your journey.
Festivals can be physically demanding, so keep water and nutritious snacks on hand.
Staying hydrated and well-fed can help ground your experience and keep your energy and spirit high.
