Fly Agaric

[Sam]

Has anyone here tripped on Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) mushrooms? They must be prepared by drying, ususally in an oven, to convert the toxic ibotenic acic into the potent psychoactive muscimol. They have been used for thousands of years, at least as long as the Psilocibin mushrooms used elsewhere.

They are meant to be very giggily, sedative and at the same time produce bursts of energy, are meant to be very dreamy abd dissocitive, especially at higher doses.

While a lot of hype surrounds these mushrooms, there has not been one confirmed death from their use. The other members of the Amanita genus do invluse the most dangerous mushrooms on earth however- the Death cap and Destroying Angel, so make very sure you know what you are looking for (very distinctive red with white spots-sometimes other colours as well)

They are common and widespread, stand out very well (unlike many Psilocybin mushrooms) fruit from July-September, with August being the best month for picking.

Smoking cannabis both helps with nausea and potentiates the trip.

I ordered some 10x extract and will give it a go soon-will also report the effect cannabis has on the trip.

I LOVE SHROOMS. THEY ARE THE BEST BODY BUZ EVER. I HAVE TRIPPED OUT SO MANY TIMES ON THEM AND I HAVE EVEN HAD A BAD TRIP THAT WAS FUCKING CRAZY SHIT.

Calm down Big Blunt Boy. Shrooms are fun though.

good job Big Blunt Boy, you are a dumbass. Fly Agarics are not "shrooms". the effect that they produce on the eater is not comparable in any way to psilocybin mushrooms. the only similarity between them is that they are both mushrooms, but other than that they are two completely different substances.

to start, the Fly Agaric is not a fun drug, so if you are looking for a party drug look somewhere else. at lower doses it can produce a lazy opiate like sedation, which is where i HIGHLY reccomend you start. at higher doses, you will have significant nausea, and you will likely have a horrible time, as 90% of people DO NOT enjoy their trips on Amanita Muscaria. you will begin to encounter things you are not prepared for and you will very likely freak out. if you venture to a high dose you will need a very strong will and mind to handle it. thus, i reccomend you start with a lower dose to get a basic 'feel' of how the drug is, although in no way can you be prepared for what will go on at higher doses. you certainly have listed the positive effects of it, but here are the common negative effects.
Intense Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Profuse sweating
Unwanted spiritual/delirious mental intensity
Delerium

i have had these before by the way, at relatively high doses, and all i can say is that it is WEIRD. dont expect to have fun.
