What does Mushroom Vape do?

Think about listening to news about a magic mushroom vape, a smooth, handheld gadget that will give mental clarity, enjoyment fast and access to psychedelic effects. It is fascinating, even futuristic. Yet is it any real thing it says it is? We are at Changa Institute where we do not subscribe to hype. This guide will decipher the magic mushrooms vape world, what is in it, what really works, the risks, and how it fits into the larger psychedelic world. Ready to vape or just curious? Let's unpack it together.

What is a Magic Mushroom Vape?

Magic mushroom vape is a generic term used to denote pre-filled vape pens purporting to be psychoactive mushroom or nootropic mushroom extracts. You can come across such varieties as flux magic mushroom vape or mushroom magic vape. They tend to promote exotic ingredients such as muscimol (of Amanita muscaria), lion's mane, or artificial psilacetin, yet what is contained within it is always obscure at best. 

The Illusion vs. Reality | What's in the Cartridge?

Research indicates that a large number of mushroom magic vape pens probably do not have any psilocybin. Rather, they can contain a combination of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) man-made substances which are intended to replicate the action of psilocybin, without being prohibited by law. 

What one lab testing article was openly astonished at was what cream-colored contraptions containing important questions of potency and safety were brought to light. 

Why Vaping Psilocybin Isn’t Straightforward?

Even had you somehow managed to prepare psilocybin in a vape-able state, it would not last very long. The process of extracting it and the high temperatures used in vaping would most probably destroy the compound such that the process of vaping the traditional psilocybin mushrooms would not work by nature. 

Simply put, it does not pass vaping magic mushrooms- with legitimacy, dosage, or even safety. But they are rapidly proliferating in shops and online market places.

Part of a Trend | The Rise of Mushroom Vapes

What is all the buzz about magic mushrooms vape pens everywhere: in smoke shops, on the internet, in everyday pop culture? They access the psychedelic renaissance, providing access to altered states, in a quick, accessible manner. However, such markets, dominated by CPG (consumer packaged goods), are usually more concerned with branding than transparency. 

This consumer curiosity, combined with lax regulation has provided an open field for unregulated NPS products in the form of mushroom experiences.

Safety Confusion | When Vapes Cause Chaos

Here's where it gets alarming. A brand of mushroom edibles Diamon dShruumz which were marketed as magic products, led to the death of two and dozens of hospitalizations. They had muscimol and artificial substances, not psilocybin, and triggered a countrywide recall of products. Obviously, the label is not necessarily the same as the content or safety. 

Equally, there have been claims of magic mushroom vape making one susceptible to mental delirium in consumer warnings making them very dangerous products to consume. 

Trendsetters | Who is buying Mushroom Vapes?

Mushroom vapes might still seem like a niche product however the reality is- already they have been spotted by trendsetters within the wellness, lifestyle, and counterculture realms. But just who is purchasing them? To begin with, a large part of the demand is fueled by young adults and Gen Z consumers. The group is constantly seeking new experience and products that frontiers. To them, the mushroom magic vape does not just symbolize experimentation, but also identity a means to be in on the newest alternative wellness trend.

The biohackers and wellness enthusiasts follow them. These are people who are so much concerned about maximizing their mind and their bodies. Although most of them are inclined to the traditional psychedelics or supplements, interest in mushroom vapes is increasing. The ease of vaping versus other, more ritualized forms of psychedelic ingestion is the appeal.

The creative community (artists, musicians, and digital creators) has a strong interest too and tends to experiment with altered states to ignite inspiration. To this group of people, magic mushroom vapes can be used as an affordable means of opening new ways of seeing things, even when the mushroom experiences are not as intense as the classical psycho experiences of psilocybin.

Lastly, the trend-following consumers on social media, particularly Tik Tok and Instagram are giant contributors to the hype. Viral posts of smooth mushroom vape devices or users telling about their first puff experiences only deepen the interest and make other people want to do the same.

In its simplest form, magic mushroom vapes appeal to curiosity-seekers and cultural pioneers, those who want to experience what is new before the rest of the world gets on board.

Colorado, Laws, and Legal Confusion

The status of mushroom vapes is ambiguous even in psychedelic-friendly states, such as Colorado, where psilocybin is decriminalized and the healing centers will soon fall under the regulation of Prop 122. The majority either include artificial compounds or mushroom extracts that are not regulated by psilocybin laws, and sell in the grey market. 

Ethical Considerations | More Than Just Legal Gray Zones

Of more importance than legality is the greater question of ethics. Mushrooms are potent, medicinal resources when taken in moderation. The market of magic mushroom vape that have the appearance of the actual item, but which are not transparent, may derail further efforts to promote safe and regulated psychedelic medicine.

Can Mushroom Vapes Really Mimic a Psychedelic Experience?

Among the most ambitious arguments in support of magic mushroom vape is the fact that it can replicate the psychedelic effect of traditional psilocybin mushrooms. But is that even possible?

Psychedelics such as psilocybin act by occupying serotonin 5-HT2A receptors in the brain, which changes perception, intensifies self-inspection and in many cases significantly changes emotional states. This is complicated and depends on the fact that bioavailable psilocybin is transformed into psilocin. Vaping as it is being produced in its present form at least, is not something that can replicate it. Rather, most magic mushroom vapes use a replacement like muscimol, lion's mane extract, or an artificial lab-created chemical. Although all these ingredients can change mood, relax, or have slight visual distortions, they are not as profound or rich in therapeutic experience as a real psilocybin experience.

That is not to say that users do not report anything. Indeed, personal experiences tell of a sense of light euphoria, color distortions, or serenity of mind. However, these effects are usually non-persistent and superficial, closer to nootropics or light cannabinoids, rather than to a psychedelic experience. Worse still, since these pens are not standardized, an activity that calms one person might be the cause of anxiety to another.

Then, is it possible that mushroom vapes can do what centuries of ritualistic use of psilocybin have done? The evidence says no. They offer a shallow simulation at best and an inaccurate and dangerous product at worst.

This brings up an essential question: whether a vape pen would be the correct option to seek when one is really in need of a psychedelic experience or it is more of a marketing trick to cash in on the psychedelic wave?

Final Thoughts

Magic mushroom vapes can be tempting- a handheld device that can give instant thinking or the slightest psychedelic high. However, the truth is very hazy and can be dangerous. Most are unrecognizable synthetic substances, have no clarity of dosage, and do not necessarily have psilocybin. At Changa, we are well-known: we are offering you real, safe and carefully instructed experiences not vapors.
