This informative guidebook is packed full with everything you need to know about psilocybin, including its history, potential medicinal and recreational benefits, the latest evidence-based research, how to microdose and trip sit, and more. With The Psilocybin Handbook for Women, you'll also get the answers to some of your most pressing questions, like:

● Does psilocybin affect women differently?

● Does it matter where I am in my cycle when I use psilocybin?

● Can psilocybin help with menstrual migraines, endometriosis, or premenstrual dysphoric disorder?

● And more!

Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned psychonaut, this research-backed guide will help you successfully navigate the world of magic mushrooms.
