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.
That's why you decarb it to convert Ibo to muscimol...
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.
Or human piss, or you know...decarb it in the oven.
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
Well, FWIW, I drank my own pee. It tasted like mushroom tea.... Then the next time, it tasted like piss. Very much night and day
I respect and am grateful for your service.
That’s amanita muscaria so it shouldn’t be that poisonous lol
People still eat these.
Eat what? Vagina?
