Amanita Muscaria Questions

I have tried Amanita Muscaria before with slight effects. I have two questions for those of you who have had successfull expiriences.

1). What temperature and for what duration is need to succesfully convert ibotenic acid into muscimol?

2) How potent are Amanita Muscaria Var. Formosa compared to Var. Muscaria?

The ones that grow where i live are var. formosa so i was wondering if that would effect the potency. Any answers would be much appreciated.

 

While you guys are at it. I would also like to know methods of activation. Such as how much of what var to eat. Rumors of smoking the extract resins seems to pop up on my research searches. I heard it is nothing phantastic but maybe they arent doing it right.

 

i am fairly sure that smoking it will burn away the active chemicals in the mushroom. i think a lighter burns at around 2000 degrees fahrenheit. The muscimol melting point is around 363 fahrenheit. From a few things i have read just from researching online is that mearly heating the mushroom is not enough to fully convert ibotenic acid into muscimol. supposedly the most efficiant way is UV rays from the sun. Ancient Powers, i personally have had expiriences with Var. Formosa with SOME effects. nothing exremely psychedelic, but def. some effects. So i know that those do something. From what ive read all varieties of Amanita Muscaria contain various ammount of ibotenic acid, muscimol, and muscarine. i think some contain higher levels than other of different chemicals though. anyway. To restate my question for people who know the answer.
Will heating up the mushroom be enough to convert ibotenic acid into muscimol? (what temperature).

 

lol try 400

Anyway, pretty sure smoking it works because BBB sells a product called "Prayer Smoka" that is amanita muscaria based.

 

Won't light paper? Fahrenheit 451....

 

400? you mean to convert the acid into muscimol? or the lighter? because i lighter definetly burns hotter than 400.

 

nice reference lol...
