A mother of one has claimed microdosing psychedelics has helped her be a better parent.

Tracey Tee, 47, of Denver, Colorado, tried her first magic mushroom at age 44 when a friend invited her on a camping trip — and it gave her a sense of great “relief.”

She continued the practice and has since said microdosing — using between one-tenth and one-twentieth of a typical dose — has made her more “present and aware” with her 11-year-old daughter.

The entrepreneur now runs her own community-based platform called Moms on Mushrooms, which aims to destigmatize the use of psychedelics.

Tracey, saying she’s not the type to dabble in recreational drugs, sat down Good morning America to discuss her use of magic mushrooms.

She began, “I get really frustrated when people say to me, ‘Aw, mushrooms are, you know, Mama’s new little helper.’

‘That’s not what microdosing is. Microdosing is mom being present and aware and showing up – maybe for the first time ever.’

Speaking of her first time trying a magic mushroom, she said, “It was the most beautiful, affirming, joyful experience I’ve ever had.”

The mother said she felt “relief” after trying the substance and claimed her mood changed to a “more stable” place.

She concluded, “There’s a lot of fear – and there should be a lot of fear. What I’ve really come to realize is the intent and why you’re doing it.’

Tracey now runs her own community-based platform called Moms on Mushrooms, which aims to destigmatize the use of psychedelics.

Microdosing is currently illegal in the United States, but Colorado and Oregon have completely decriminalized magic mushroom use.

The Moms on Mushrooms website makes the mission statement clear with statements that read, “We cannot continue to heal and raise our consciousness if we are smothered in fear, guilt, shame, and ancient programming around the use of psychedelics or the act of self-healing.” .’

On Instagram, Tracey continued, “MOM was created to support other moms like me…because this healing path is just different when you’re a mom.

“After I started working with these beautiful fungi, my life changed forever and I felt called to share the experience with as many women as possible, from my unique perspective.”

Tracey, who has been married for 20 years, claims her daughter “knows everything I do,” adding: “She thinks it’s cool that I’m ‘the weird mom who has a hippie job.'”

What are Magic Mushrooms?

Magic mushrooms are a psychedelic drug containing psilocybin.

They occur naturally and are consumed for their hallucinogenic effects, meaning they can affect all of the senses, altering one’s thinking, sense of time, and emotions.

Psychedelics can also cause a person to hallucinate – seeing or hearing things that don’t exist or are distorted.

Magic mushrooms can affect everyone differently based on a number of factors, including weight, height, and strength.

The effects, which usually take about 30 minutes to develop when eaten, can include:

  • Euphoria and well-being
  • Change in consciousness, mood, thought and perception
  • Dilation of pupils
  • Perceptual changes, such as visual and auditory hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not there or are distorted)
  • Upset stomach and nausea
  • Headache
  • Fast or irregular heartbeat
  • Increased body temperature
  • Breathe fast
  • vomit
  • Hot flashes, sweating and chills
