> How long is that detectable in your system? How is it detectable? What
precautions should I take?
The detection period for psilocybin and psilocin in a urine drug test is
unknown.
The good news is that psilocybin and psilocin are not commonly tested for in
the standard (sports and work) or even the extended drug tests.
This from Erowid:
"Once ingested, most of the psilocybin is converted into psilocin within the
first hour. Most of the psilocin is then excreted within the first 8
hours...but portions remain in the system for several weeks. From Stafford's
Psychedelics Encyclopedia:
"High dose studies of rats suggest that psilocin taken orally is distributed
througout the body. Concentrations in tissues appear highest about half an
hour after ingestion, decreasing rapidly over the next three to four hours.
The adrenal glands of the test animals show the highest concentrations after
the first hour, until then the kidneys have more. The small intestine, skin,
bone marrow, lungs, stomach, and salivary glands also have significant
concentrations-- greater, in fact, than those in the brain...
In the high dose study of rats, all but 6 pecent of the psilocybin was
excreted within twenty-four hours. In humans, only 80-85% of psilocybin and
its metabolites is excerted within 8 hours, in the urine (about 65%), bile
and feces (15-20%). Some 15-20% olingers on, stored in fatty tissues;
significant quantitites appear in urine up to a week later. A full 25% of
the originally administered dose enters urine as psilocin.""

Take care and control.
