Is it true that magic mushrooms are addicting?
No! Psilocybin is not considered a drug of dependence, past users do not have compulsive drug seeking, and there aren’t even any known withdrawal syndromes. The intensity of psilocybin makes it difficult for people to use on a daily basis and tolerance is built quickly.
In fact, there are promising studies that show psilocybin can actually be used therapeutically to CURE addiction. Check out the sources below to find out more.
