Shrooms, or magic mushrooms, can take anywhere from **30 minutes to 90 minutes** to kick in. The exact amount of time depends on several factors, including:
* **Ingestion method:** Eating the mushrooms whole usually takes longer than consuming them in tea form, because liquids are absorbed by the body quicker.
* **Dosage:** The amount of psilocybin (the psychoactive compound in shrooms) you consume will influence how long it takes to feel the effects. Higher doses tend to kick in faster.
* **Metabolism:** People with faster metabolisms may feel the effects sooner than those with slower metabolisms.
* **What you ate recently:** If you have a full stomach, it might take longer for the shrooms to be absorbed and take effect.
Here's a general timeline:
* **30-60 minutes:** This is the typical timeframe for most people to start feeling the effects.
* **60-90 minutes:** The effects will likely become more pronounced during this time.
* **2-4 hours:** The peak effects of the shrooms will generally occur within this window.
* **4-6 hours:** The effects will gradually start to subside.
It's important to remember that these are just estimates. It's always best to **wait at least 2 hours** before considering taking another dose, as it can take a while for the full effects to be felt.
