A typical shroom (psilocybin mushroom) trip lasts about 4 to 6 hours. The effects usually start around 30 minutes after ingestion, peak at about 2 to 3 hours, and then gradually diminish. Some residual effects may linger for a little while after the main trip ends. Factors such as dosage, mushroom species, metabolism, and individual tolerance can influence the exact duration of the trip.
Key Duration Details
- Onset: 20-60 minutes after consumption
- Peak effects: 2 to 3 hours into the trip
- Total duration: 4 to 6 hours (sometimes up to 8 hours in higher doses or potent species)
- Residual effects or after-effects can last into the next day in some cases
Factors Influencing Trip Length
- Dosage: Higher doses extend the trip duration.
- Mushroom species: Different species have different potency and duration.
- Individual tolerance and metabolism also play a role in how long effects last.
This typical timeline provides a general guideline, but individual experiences may vary.
