With a name that could be a magic incantation itself, Alacabenzi cubensis delivers an altered reality that produces more physical and spatial effects, with relaxing head and body sensations at smaller doses, and more significant warping of balance at higher doses. An excellent choice for beginners who might be wary of an overly intense  hallucinogenic journey, this strain can produce results that feel closer to the effects of strong cannabis edibles. Like an amusement park fun house where suddenly the world is tilted, the Alacabenzi’s tendency to impact balance and cause a deep body stoned means that first-timers may want to stick close to home until finding the optimal dosage.

For microdosing enthusiasts, this strain is a great choice for evening use, given its weighty physical effects, which are almost akin to a nice heavy blanket. Whether you’re snuggling with people, pets or pillows, this chill-out strain isn’t going to have you bouncing around and dancing once you’re nice and comfortable. With the focus of sensation often starting at the top of the head, Alacabenzis could also be a welcome facilitator in some meditation journeys for practitioners of mindfulness, especially for anyone whose relaxation is impeded because of emotional or physical trauma.

Smaller in size than some of our larger strains, these shrooms are no less potent. As with most varieties of psilocybin, the Alacabenzi cubensis take up to an hour to achieve full effect, and can last up to 5 or 6 hours, depending on the individual. Packages are carefully measured, but reaction time and the duration of psilocybin experiences will be unique to each person, their dose and their tolerance level, so it’s best to wait at least an hour before consuming another dose, limit alcohol consumption and stay adequately hydrated.
