Amanitas (As seen on IamShaman)

I am thinking of picking up some Amanitas from Iamshaman.com.
I've read about their effects here:
http://www.erowid.org/plants/amanitas/amanitas.shtml

Seems as though people worry about them (i'm assuming if their picked naturally), where as it's just certain species (I'm assuming from reading Erowid) that are the toxic ones.. (So they seem pretty safe imo if ordered from Shaman but ofcourse theres always the tiny percent chance of a risk)

Anyway the experience from these mushrooms seems incredible and I'm thinking about picking up an ounce of the mixed caps.

I typed in Google 1 oz in g (and got):

1 ounce = 28.3495231 grams

So, if a good strong trip is 3 grams, does that mean I have about 8 or so intense trips? Any word of advice? But before the advice, please answer my question about the measurement too, not too sure when it comes to oz/grams/etc.

 

yes that's how many grams are in an ounce.

a good strong amanita trip is not 3 gs from what I've heard. Erowid says a strong trip is 10-30g; common dosage is 5-10. So depending on how deep you go, probably 3 good trips...although I've never tried these first hand, and never intend to.

 

Seems 10g is a good safe dose for a crazy time. Even though iAmShaman doesn't openly admit it.. they obviously sell salvia and this other stuff for consumption, eh? Isn't the disclaimers just to protect their asses if somebody has something bad happen to them in the process of consuming it? Because I wouldn't want to be sold any posionous mushrooms as Amanitas

 

I got amanitas from IAmShaman

Let me warn you, dont get mixed caps, you need to spend the extra money,
the mixed caps or low grade may be dirty and very low potency

When I got mine I expected a trip, I hadent got this at all, I ate 8g and just felt very drunk

BTW: I think I got A+ caps from Washington state

 

Thanks for the info, so getting the mixed batch is totally not worth it or am I just taking a run for my money...? It just kinda sucks having to pay 30-40 bucks for only 3 trips, :-X

 

thats only 10 dollars a trip.....seems like a bargain to me

 

a bargain??

 

is $10 per trip a bargain? i know prices can differ, but it sounds cheap to me.

 

Morning glory seeds might be what you want. From the right place $20 will get you like 100 trips or so....i don't remeber the site name anymore =(

What about the Amanita Muscaria Extracts they have at iamshaman. Has anyone ever tried that? Is it pure ibotenic acid and muscimol in the extraction or what? I heard you have to heat this shit up to activate the muscimol.

Can you smoke the powdered Amanita extract or pour the resin extract in a blunt or something? Would this work? Ive heard of smoking dried Amanita Muscaria caps before and there are some pages in the erowid vault about it.

 

It's not exactly your everyday fun/ideal trip as from what I;ve read.

 

I bought the amitas off iamshaman and ate about 8 g's. I tripped REAL hard and want to try it again. I recommend it.

 

smokindude, which Amanitas did you buy and how did you prepare them?

 

The extracts are no good, I ate a gram of 10x, didnt do anything, not worth the money

 

Screw extracts =P
Take em legitly by the cap for about 10g worth.
Or find em yourself I guess lol.

 

I wouldn't do these in the first place, but I'm not here to give you a speech. I'm just scared of that unpleasant prickly sensation and the possible nausia I've heard so much about. You could always try the extracts of amanitas they have on there. That way you don't have to taste the nastyness of the mushrooms, and you can by 3 doses (3 grams) for about the same price as buying the actual mushrooms themselves. Good luck!

 

Haha I love these things, I've tripped on em twice. First time I made tea with half an ounce and split that with my friend and we went to the camden aquarium tripping and smoking bud when possible. Gives you a completely new appreciation for the aquarium and especially brightly colored jellyfish haha. I felt no nausea whatsoever but didn't get too many visual hallucinations.

Second time I made tea with a little over half an ounce and consumed it all to myself and went on a journey in the woods. While I was peaking I smoked a lot of bud and was catapulted into a crazy place that i did not understand at all haha. I sat on a log down by the delaware river listening to the waves crash and everytime it sounded like something different, sometimes like a conversation, sometimes like a really good band, and sometimes like a dog barking. I looked at the sky and felt like I was a part of the shoreline and could feel the plants growing on me and through me.

All in all a very fun experience, but I forgot to eat dinner that day so all I had in my stomach was half an ounce of mushrooms and tea and some orange juice, so my stomach was very angry. I vomited probably about 8 times, but I couldn't really feel it or recognize that it was me vomiting, it felt like there was a thought in my head running rampant and whenever I thought about it I vomited. I remember I started vomiting white foamy stuff too and got really scared and thought I was gonna die, so somehow I drove home and watched the wall knowing that I was gonna die and that my parent were gonna be devastated and everything. So the second half kinda sucked but the first half was unbelievably awesome

 

Picking your own is much more simple than people on erowid say. The colors are, red-whitespots yellow-white/tanspots orange-white/tanspots Brown-white/tan spots(pantherina)..> they all look the same. basically. If it has no color. dont pick it. I picked a bunch of brown last year. gave my friend half a cap. he though the ceiling was a colored puzzle and began trying to complete this puzzzle.

 

Where do you live that they grow wild? In new jersey I've been through every forest in my area for years and haven't seen anything similar I don't think, and when is the right season?

 

amanitas are fantastic. I recently ordered a pound (mixed caps and steps)
