Its History

Psychoactive mushroom use in Koh Samui and Koh Pha-Ngan, Thailand

Its Species

Psilocybe samuiensis is a psychedelic mushroom, which has psilocybin and psilocin as main active compounds. It was placed in the section Mexicanae of genus Psilocybe by Gastón Guzmán due to its rhomboid-shaped spores. It has been found in Koh Samui, a small tropical island in Thailand, where some psychoactive species are consumed by both natives and tourists. Chao Samui rarely consume psilocybian fungi. Such local use is usually restricted to local females who do so at the request of foreigners.

The Cerebral Effects

A little snippet of a story from a families time in Thailand having the infamous “mushroom Shake”.

“I was okay until I looked at Mom and saw her framed against the lush vegetation hanging from the limestone behind her. I wondered how I never realized that she was the essence of the sacred feminine encapsulated in an eternal garden dangled from a droplet of pure consciousness. It felt like something I would have noticed before. I sat with her in a crystalline sphere beyond time; her voice echoed, and the veins in her arm glowed with tracers of blue and red light. Mom, suspended in a sunbeam at a point beyond time, looked through me, her only son, and it was my turn to weep. It was then that Meg (sister) returned from the bungalow. I turned around and saw her bathed in translucent orange liquid, and she looked at me, tears streaming down my face, put her hands up and said, “Nope.” She took off like a shot toward the jungle path leading to the west side, Mom, in all her glory, calling after her. I wanted to hold Mom’s hand forever, but she told me it was time to get up and go after her. After a few minutes of wondering what my toes were for, we were on our way.”

The Medicinal Benefits

These mushrooms synthesize high levels of psilocybin, and are recommended for those who are willing to go through the variety of different experiences that will be on the Thai land express railway through out the jungle journey. These experiences include self discovery, reduced stress and enhanced creativity.
