Using Magic Mushrooms for Studying

Using Magic Mushrooms for Studying
2

• Whenever magic mushrooms are mentioned, images
  of strong psychedelic experiences are brought to
  mind. Because of their portrayal in the media,
  magic mushrooms became associated with
  extreme, debilitating hallucinations that prevent
  people from functioning normally.
• However, these portrayals are inaccurate. Modern
  research are starting to unlock the many
  applications of magic mushrooms in alleviating
  depression, anxiety, and promoting a positive
  mindset. Evidence also suggests the shrooms have
  a role in studying, and memory. Shrooms are also
  known to enhance thinking ability and creativity.
• Because psychedelic mushrooms changes the way
  the brain processes information, can they be used
  to perform better in school?

• Changing Brain Networks for Studying

Taking Shrooms Before Exam

• A study conducted at the Johns Hopkins University
  discovered a single dose of shrooms can produce
  long-lasting personality changes. Lasting effects
  include, but are not limited to, alterations of
  imagination, openness, and appreciation of new
  ideas. Research shows the psychoactive effects of
  shrooms aid its capacity to form new thoughts and
  concepts.

Taking Shrooms Before Exam

• Anecdotal accounts say consuming small amounts of
  magic mushrooms helps people learn new concepts
  and information faster. Unfortunately, large
  doses creates distracting sensations. On the
  other hand, ingesting a small dose may display
  notable benefits. Early studies show how shrooms
  can impact brain cell productivity and
  connectivity.
• While this alone wont give you high scores in
  your exams, it can help you expand your thought
  patterns and make information more accessible
  during tests.
• Even taking shrooms after an exam presents
  possible benefits. If your performance during the
  test was high, the positive state of mind youre
  in can help release the tension after an exam
  session and put you in the right framework to
  have a positive mushrooms experience.

Improving School Performance

• A scientific study titled, Effects of Psilocybin
  Neurogenesis and Extinction of Trace Fear
  Conditioning published in the journal
  Experimental Brain Research experimented on the
  effects of psilocybin on mice. The study showed
  how psilocybin promotes neurogenesis, the birth
  of new neurons within the brain. It also looked
  at how the mices fear and fear conditioning were
  affected.

Improving School Performance

• Its far too early to say whether a magic
  mushroom experience will improve test results
  however, empirical research evidence points to
  the potential of psilocybin mushrooms in ones
  academic performance.
• Given the dozens of variables influencing the
  experience of taking magic mushrooms, it will be
  difficult to produce consistent results. The
  outcome will also change depending on the subject
  matter being studied and other non-mushroom
  related factors.
• The study discovered specific doses of
  psilocybin can promote growth of new brain cells
  and stimulate the hippocampus, the part of the
  brain involved in memory, emotions, and
  motivation. According to the studys leader, its
  possible that scientists will extend the findings
  to humans in clinical trials.

Changing Brain Networks for Studying

• Another study which was published showed how
  psilocybin reorganizes the brain in such a way
  that regions that dont communicate before become
  connected under the influence of psilocybin from
  magic mushrooms.
• The study involved 15 participants who ingested
  psilocybin. Later, their brain activities were
  analyzed using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
  Allowing to visualize new connections as they
  were being formed.

Changing Brain Networks for Studying

• Its widely theorized among psychedelic
  researchers that the new brain connections are to
  be credited for magic mushrooms effects on
  altering mood, easing the effects of depression,
  and other psychological conditions.
• While the studies above circumstances used large
  doses of mushrooms for studying, it may be a
  better option to consume less shrooms for
  studying. Smaller doses of magic mushrooms may be
  a tool to help with studying. This is where
  microdosing enters. Shroomers believe microdosing
  is the more practical method to gain from the
  positive effects of magic mushrooms without a
  powerful, beautiful, but disorienting psychedelic
  trip.
