Wrong poison though

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

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.

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

[–] punkfungus 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

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

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.

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

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

NMDA agonist

As a fan of NMDA antagonists, that sounds awful.

I kinda wanna try some

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

That’s amanita muscaria so it shouldn’t be that poisonous lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
