http://www.aun.edu.eg/distance/pharmacy/poison/fly_amanita.htm Note the bolded part. Amanitas are indeed hallucinogens, not depressants like alcohol. Or if I needed to continue... http://www.wildflowers-and-weeds.com/mushrooms/Amanitaceae.htm But yeah, your right, they're very unhealthy Fly amanita AKA: fly mushrooms, fly agaric, Amanita muscaria, etc. [/size]
thank you for correcting me. After some additional research I found that Amanitas do in fact have a few hallucinogenic constituents. But I also would like to add, that hallucinations are very rare. As I stated in my last post the intoxication is very similiar to being very drunk. This doesn't mean that the drug is a despressant though. thank you, sunshinechild, I stand corrected.
Whooooo insanity. From what I've read, its one of the most mysterious plants in the world, and has some very strange and different effects on different people. I wanna try Amantia some day, despite all the negative things I've read about them.
you must NOT eat the red and white mushrooms, It`s wery dangerous to eat them, we have lots of red and white mushrooms in Norway, they can really fuck up your body
actually man, the hallucinations werent rare for my case... i didnt even eat alot... 3.5g, which is a light trip... and i got some weird hallucinations, maybe not hallucinations.. but out of proportion and stuff. you know the person who wrote alice in wonderland took amanitas, and its kinda like that... youre big and small, i looked at my feet and thought i was like an elf, and when i looked up i thought i was like super duper small in a little dollhouse. and i could see a fog around people. blurry vision. other then that, when i went to bed, not to mention the cristal lucidity of my dreams.
Same. I could just pick bags full of amanitas if I wanted to for absolutely nothing, but I don't. Can't believe people actually buy them.
http://www.botgard.ucla.edu/html/botanytextbooks/economicbotany/Mushrooms/ -"The mushroom is familiar to all of us through its appearance on modern posters, all types of artwork, the Smurfs, and so forth. The most interesting use of this in literature is the tale told of Alice by Lewis Carroll--the mushroom could make a person very large or very small. " http://www.evergreen.edu/mushrooms/phm/s32.htm -"The book Alice in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carroll after he had experimented with Amanita muscaria and the changes in size and time perception described in Alice in Wonderland are characteristic effects of the mushroom intoxication." i just googled "lewis carroll amanita" and you have alot.. i think you made a mistake, it was a amanita intoxication .. lots ot websites say it , but he probably took ergot too. maybe a mix of both
I'll believe half of what I hear and all that I've seen and felt. It's your own trip, but I've had to grab ahold of my sanity enough times.
Ergot without the chemicals? Has an effect? I figured it would have a little bit of one, but nothing like when it's in chemicals and is LSD-25. Ofcourse, LSD-25 wasn't even invented until 1938... Lewis Caroll grew up in the 1800s.
