A ‘magic mushroom’ nasal spray has been designed to make microdosing easier for people trying to treat their PTSD or depression.
Silo Wellness, an Oregon company with a team with roots in cannabis delivery modalities, has developed a magic mushroom nasal spray in Jamaica – where psilocybin is legal – for controlled, metered-dosing known as ‘microdosing’.
Neat—a nasal spray for psilocybin. It supposedly works a bit differently than oral dosing, too:
The psilocybin nasal spray passes the gut, going directly to the bloodstream through the nasal mucus membranes and eventually the liver for metabolising. This saves the patient from feeling nauseous, as commonly experienced when taking psilocybin.
The company hopes to bring this spray to Oregon first, but that’s assuming the state’s psilocybin initiative will be successful, which isn’t exactly a guarantee at this point. And there’s no telling exactly what is in the spray, although according to the Silo Wellness website it is “full spectrum,” which in theory would preserve the fungi’s “entourage effect.”
Microdosing has been increasing in popularity over the past several years, and this nasal spray is an innovative route of administration, potentially having benefits above and beyond eating raw material or taking capsules.
