Mushroom Stopper
The Mushroom Stopper combines two standalone products in one convenient pack: 2 Dextro glucose tablets and 2 valerian capsules. The idea behind the combination is that a dip in blood sugar and physical unease can both contribute to how unpleasant a difficult psychedelic experience feels. The Mushroom Stopper does not stop a trip immediately or completely: psilocybin and its active breakdown product psilocin keep working until the body has processed them, regardless of what you take. Think of this set as a way to get through a hard moment a bit more comfortably, not a way to end a trip on demand.
Dextro tablets consist mostly of dextrose, also known as glucose, along with ingredients such as maltodextrin and a acidifier. Dextrose is absorbed quickly and can give a direct boost when your energy is low. Valerian root is a herb that has long been used in supplements; manufacturers describe it as having a calming effect on the nervous system and as support during stress, but the scientific evidence is mixed and the effect is usually mild and only noticeable after some time.
Dosage
The pack contains a fixed dose: 2 Dextro tablets and 2 valerian capsules. Do not take more than this amount based on this set; if you want to reorder dextrose or valerian separately, follow the dosage on the packaging of that individual product.
Use
Take the Dextro tablets and valerian capsules with enough water. Don't assume the effect is felt immediately: dextrose acts quickly, while valerian usually builds up more gradually. Do not combine valerian with alcohol, and be extra careful if you already feel drowsy or dizzy, since valerian can affect your reaction speed. Do not take part in traffic while you are still under the influence or feel drowsy.
Storage
Store the tablets and capsules somewhere cool and dry, out of reach of children and out of direct sunlight. Always check the expiry date on the packaging before use.
Harm reduction
The Mushroom Stopper is not a substitute for a calm, familiar environment and, ideally, a sober person present during a psychedelic experience. If you still feel unsafe, very anxious, or physically unwell despite these measures, reach out to someone nearby and call emergency services if in doubt. Do not combine valerian with other calming substances, alcohol, or medication without first checking with a doctor or pharmacist, especially during pregnancy.
