Wrong poison though
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscimol
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibotenic_acid
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
As a fan of NMDA antagonists, that sounds awful.
I kinda wanna try some
People still eat these.
Eat what? Vagina?
I see Cece's fashion has spread to Lemmy.
This was such a silly part of totk lmao
