My beard got a nice gray patch during 2018.. near the end of that year I ate 5g psilocybin and over the next 3 months all my gray bread hairs disappeared, and still until today I haven't had a single gray hair in my beard again. Can anyone explain that? Early thirties, no health issues, overall normal body.

It's more likely the five grams were dried psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, which typically contain less than 1% of psychoactive compounds, so your experience would have involved more like 50mg of psilocybin/psilocin/baeocystin/others. Not trying to diminish the experience in any way -- five grams of magic mushrooms are very likely to lead to an amazing trip.

If this assumption is wrong and you in fact did take 5000mg of pure psilocybin, I'd appreciate hearing more detail on that experience.

Yes, I meant 5 gram plant material, not the chemical, sorry about expressing that wrong.

The experience was super intense and will probably never do it again. I don't recommend anyone take 5 grams for their first time at all.

Mental lightness. Not sweating certain stuff in the same way. Less unproductive dwelling. All things I experienced after a trip that would account for that.

Maybe no grey hair is how it is supposed to be and the grey patch of hair was caused by a health issue or stress? I mean, you are only in your early thirties, most people have no grey hair at that age.

I had a grey patch at 27, it went away. But it's not true that most people don't have grey hair at that age, most people actually do, just not enough to be super noticeable.
