he primary psychoactive compounds in Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms—including Z Strain—are psilocybin and psilocin. Yet Psilocybe mushrooms also contain other potentially active compounds, including baeocystin and norbaeocystin. Like any experience with magic mushrooms, the amount you ingest, your personal body chemistry, and your environment are factors that color your overall psilocybin experience.
Additionally, well-grown Z Strain mushrooms can be quite potent, producing profound effects for those that choose to consume them in large quantities. Overall mushroom potency varies by growing conditions. Set and setting also play important roles during any trip. Set refers to the mindset you bring into the experience; setting refers to your environment and surroundings during the psilocybin journey.

Made a tea with this strain. Have only tried about a 2.5g dose to assess and found it less magical than Golden Teacher. Also found the size of them a surprise – they were big and thick- stemmed. Will try a 3.5g and see how it goes.
