I recently bought an ounce of Grade A+ Amanita muscaria caps, and ate about 2/5 of them. I dont know whether I have bad luck with entheogens, or if I did something wrong, I ingested the dry caps, along with a glass of water, over a period of 45 minutes. I would like to get any feedback/suggestions if possible, because the caps cost me $25 from a vendor that I have had no problems with in the past. If you feel it necessary, pm me or send me an email.
i never got anything from Amanitas ... took somewhere between 1/8 - 1/4 myself with some orange juice... and ... nothing, except a bit of a queasy feeling.
as far as i'm aware they are only fatal if not dried properly. but well .. i could be wrong bout that one.
They can produce a trip that simulates splitting and things like that... I'm not sure if it was much of a hallucinogenic experience to be exact...
how much did you do to get that 'worthy experience'? i didn't take that much (less than cubensis) mainly cause i was worried about the toxicity. plus the shamen site i had ordered them from sent them with dirt and shit on them ... so that put me off a bit. i thought they tasted TONS worse than cubensis too.
I had an ounce too recently. I started off with about 12 grams and kinda felt stoney for a couple hours, my body felt warm, but my teeth started chattering. The next day I decided to finish them off and ate 16 gm's. Within about an hour I was starting to feel pretty weird. Body kind of felt numb. Kinda felt stoned or something. No visuals but definetely some strange body high. Probably not going to be trying any more of these.
Ok for amanitas you only eat the caps, and mostly the skin of the caps, after you prepare them by baking them, otherwise they dont do much and are just toxic. all the info is on erowid, under amanitas<preperations
SWIM wasn't that impressed. Though, the salty, meaty taste was enjoyable. I think you need to eat a lot more than an ounce to cause damage. SWIM tried them just for their historical significance. You see them everywhere. Smurfs live in them. If you're able and willing to stop at 2 drinks (and they're legal to do in your area), then you might want to give them a try. The effect of 2 drinks is about the best you can achieve on them IMO. Any more and you're starting to run into toxic levels. Apparently, your cells break down and the nuclei bleed out or something really nasty like that.
