Ever since uploading the photo of the most epic mushroom I've ever seen in my sig line, I've been wondering if anyone else besides me have ever tripped on Amanita Muscaria? Personally, I didn't have a good experience on them and I won't recommend it to anyone. I felt a mental and body high from the euphoria, but the stomach sickness killed it for me. I was couch-locked to the sofa in my living room watching Coffee and Cigarettes, and I couldn't move. I was laughing and just feeling a powerful tingling sensation all over my body. I started laughing very mildly. Chaotic thoughts came through my mind like crazy. While I did not hallucinate at all, it was like I was having an out-of-body experience. It's tough to explain. Have you ever had a Mario Bros Mushroom before?
I've tried a low oral dose once and smoked them a couple times... The oral dose gave me an impression of what I thought benzos might be like minus some euphoria. I am not very experienced with benzos at all, pretty ineffective the couple times I tried them but the amanitas made me feel kind of sluggish and disinhibited with a carefree quality to them and slight la la feeling. When I smoked amanitas, I got an experience more like weed but with a different flavor to it, kind of stimulating actually and more euphoric than the oral dose less introspective compares to weed.
I find them all the time during certain seasons. most say not to eat raw, I do anyway.. I usually feel like drunk without the booze, floating feeling, pain relief which I love the most, drooling sexual energy love that to, feeling taller than most objects, happy.. not really psychedelic but cev sometimes is enhanced. last time I drank alcohol on them and was a little nauseated but most the time, I have a good time on them.. best to nibble at it til you start getting woozy, to many people just eat the whole thing and they feel ill .. I had some that was wormy and I could see the worms after a few days, I still ate that shit, little protein never hurt.. but the worms ate into his brains theme kept spinning in my head.. takes some time getting use to the experience with them..
I recall drinking a couple beers around the time I tried amanita. Maybe that was what caused me to feel sick on them. I suppose I could give them a second chance. This is the time of year to start seeing them emerge.
I've tried them. Like Orison said it's like being drunk and not really a "trip". At times it gets sort of trippy but it just lacks the insight and true psychedelia of Psilocybin mushrooms for me. But it's like any other psychedelic some people will swear by it and get more out of it.
I tried it once a long time ago and I wasn't particularly impressed. Mainly a mild euphoria and some slight nausea. I've read that the strength of Amanitas varies a great deal. Some are virtually inactive. In Siberia, where Koryak shamans have used them for millenia, they actually drink the urine of a person who has previously eaten the mushrooms. Evidently there's a sound bio-chemical basis for this, as enzymes in the liver process the active ingredient into a stronger form which then passes out in the urine. I read one account of reindeer piss being drunk after the animals had been chomping their Fly Agarics.
yeah apparently if you drink the piss of someone who's stoned on them you can bypass the ill effects... someone let me know if this works
My best description of it is: "If alcohol were slightly hallucinogenic." Cool perspective changes, but you snap out of it like a drunk afterthought. They are fire when mixed with psilocybin mushrooms or an analog thereof. Take them gradually like having a "drink" of alcohol, possibly in a tea and eat the mush afterwards. Don't do your complete dose in one, work up to the desired effect.
I wouldn't recommend them. Mostly they make you dizzy, nauseous and your spend 6 hours drooling on yourself. There is a reason they are legal....... Because they suck
