Also, despite what some mushroom books will say, it's not the ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ˜ต kind of poison (except in rare cases)

It's the ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿคค kind of poison

It might not be the ๐Ÿ˜ต kind of poison but it is absolutely the ๐Ÿคฎ kind of poison, even when decarbed. I'd describe it as ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ˜ด and definitely not ๐Ÿคค at any point.

That's why you decarb it to convert Ibo to muscimol...

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Read slower. It was decarbed. The conversion is never perfect, and given that there are much better options available for mushroom induced experiences I would highly dissuade anyone from macro dosing A. muscaria

My bad.

there are much better options available for mushroom induced experiences

Depends on your tastes really. That's like saying LSD is a strictly better experience than alcohol. They're completely different types of psychoactive compounds.

Also, it's not like other mushrooms don't cause nausea. I know people who've literally spent hours vomiting after eating cubes.

Fun fact: ibotenic acid is a muscimol prodrug and rather toxic for humans. You can filter the mushrooms through reindeer and drink their piss to get more muscimol than ibotenic acid.

I remember reading ages ago that reindeer do that the other way around too - they learned to drink human piss when the farmers ate the mushrooms because it would get them high. So now reindeer are attracted to Siberian herder piss.

I have no clue if that anecdote has held up, the book I read it in was on some real hippie shit

Well, FWIW, I drank my own pee. It tasted like mushroom tea.... Then the next time, it tasted like piss. Very much night and day

I respect and am grateful for your service.

Or human piss, or you know...decarb it in the oven.

NMDA agonist

As a fan of NMDA antagonists, that sounds awful.

I kinda wanna try some
