Typical doseIn Russian clinical practice (Phenotropil): usually 100–200 mg once daily in the morning; dosing in informal, uncontrolled sources varies more widely, with no clearly established, safe upper limit confirmed by studies in healthy humansExclusively within approved clinical trials: a single 25 mg dose (the "therapeutic" dose in the COMPASS Pathways trial) or a two-session protocol of 20–30 mg in the Johns Hopkins trial, each time under the direct supervision of two trained therapists in a clinical office.
FormTablets (Russian pharmaceutical preparation) or powder/capsules sold as a 'research chemical' outside Russia, without external quality controlSynthetic, standardized psilocybin in capsule form — not natural mushrooms with variable, unpredictable active-substance content.

Time to effectsSubjective stimulant effects are sometimes reported within hours of taking a dose in informal user accounts, but no controlled study in healthy, adult humans has confirmed a clear time course or the actual magnitude of any effect.Subjective, acute psychedelic effects appear 20–40 minutes after dosing and last 4–6 hours. The antidepressant effect, if it occurs, tends to be noticeable within days of the session, and in the COMPASS Pathways trial was still partially measured at 12 weeks — though in some patients it faded over time and required consideration of another session or a return to standard treatment.
Who it's forThere's no well-established target group in Western markets, where the substance isn't an approved drug or legal supplementExclusively participants in approved clinical trials on treatment-resistant depression, qualified after detailed psychiatric assessment
