NMDA agonist
As a fan of NMDA antagonists, that sounds awful.
I kinda wanna try some
Also, despite what some mushroom books will say, it's not the 🤮😵 kind of poison (except in rare cases)
It's the 😵💫🤤 kind of poison
It might not be the 😵 kind of poison but it is absolutely the 🤮 kind of poison, even when decarbed. I'd describe it as 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮😵💫🤮😵💫🤮😵💫🤮😵💫😴😴😴 and definitely not 🤤 at any point.
Fun fact: ibotenic acid is a muscimol prodrug and rather toxic for humans. You can filter the mushrooms through reindeer and drink their piss to get more muscimol than ibotenic acid.
I remember reading ages ago that reindeer do that the other way around too - they learned to drink human piss when the farmers ate the mushrooms because it would get them high. So now reindeer are attracted to Siberian herder piss.
I have no clue if that anecdote has held up, the book I read it in was on some real hippie shit
That’s amanita muscaria so it shouldn’t be that poisonous lol
People still eat these.
Eat what? Vagina?
