      Also, despite what some mushroom books will say, it’s not the 🤮😵 kind of poison (except in rare cases)

      It’s the 😵‍💫🤤 kind of poison

        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

        It might not be the 😵 kind of poison but it is absolutely the 🤮 kind of poison, even when decarbed. I’d describe it as 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮😵‍💫🤮😵‍💫🤮😵‍💫🤮😵‍💫😴😴😴 and definitely not 🤤 at any point.

            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.

      NMDA agonist

      As a fan of NMDA antagonists, that sounds awful.

      I kinda wanna try some
