Is the disconnection to reality persistent after it’s out of your system?
I agree about average Joe access. I live in Colorado and a lot of people, “adults,” cannot even responsibly take marijuana edibles.

Lately there has been some promising research into psilocybin's long-term effects on the brain and specifically depression - it's becoming clear that the drug has a unique effect in breaking down old (potentially negative) pathways/connections and allowing new (potentially healthier) connections to form in their place. Really interesting stuff.
Nothing but good things to say about the practice provided you keep dosage and frequency at the 'micro' threshold. My roommate and I ran a pseudo-blind study (50% chance we'd get LSD on a microdose day, 50% water) and both noticed increased energy, empathy, creativity, and general quality of life.
How to Change Your Mind as someone else suggested is a great place to start.
I'd say 24 to 48 hours. Though at 8 hours post consumption you are pretty much back and I think most of what remains is system shock. LSD is an entirely different story as the trip can last twice as long as shrooms. Despite the effects being less physically severe (i.e. no stomach discomfort) I was never a fan. Twelve hours of being high is just too long for me. Would be nice to get thoughts from someone who has taken lots of LSD as my experience is limited to about 3 trips.
