Frequently asked questions
๐ What is Amanita Muscaria?
Amanita Muscaria are not very known in the west, but are very well known within the east especially in places like Siberia where shamans are found using them regularly to try and achieve what we see as something closer to a psilocybin experience. They try to invoke a sense of introspection and healing within participants.
There are two active compounds within Amanita Muscaria that give its effects.
Ibotenic Acidย is what the west considers poisonous, at high doses it can be neurotoxic, but at low doses itโs a stimulant and provides euphoria among other positive effects. Ibotenic Acid is broken down into the second compound we will be talking about which is Muscimol; we will get into Muscimol shortly. Ibotenic Acid is broken down into Muscimol in two main ways.. 1: Itโs broken down by the body into Muscimol, 2: Itโs broken down into Muscimol through the process of decarboxylation, essentially the process of drying. We use dried Amanitas in our chocolate where around 50% of the Ibotenic Acid is broken down into Muscimol making it completely safe for consumption while still keeping some Ibotenic Acid to give the buzz and euphoria associated.
Muscimolย is the second active compound, itโs actually the opposite of Ibotenic acid providing a calming, relaxing, and potentially introspective experience. Muscimol at high doses can be incredibly psychedelic, the psychedelic experience varies and can be very scary if unprepared. We only recommend high doses upward of 3g if experienced or very educated.
Amanita Muscaria, unlike Psilocybin Mushrooms, bind to the GABA-A receptors. These receptors are what things such as alcohol, and benzodiazepines effect potentially being something that could be a substitute and actually heal the user from these addictions. Amanita is not considered addictive and is considered a natural health product by Canada. โ Completely Legal.โ
๐ญ Dosage & Experience
The Amanita Experience can range from incredibly cozy to absolutely frightening to the most significant spiritual experience depending on the dosage taken and set/setting.
If you want a predictable and cozy experience accompanied with a good quality sleep we recommend 250mg โ 1g of our chocolate. If you want an unpredictable adventure you can go for upwards of 10g – 30g+ but we donโt recommend it as we havenโt even experimented with it.
Dosages are as follows:
Mild Experience: 250 to 1500mgย โ Cozy, comfy, relaxing, warm, chill, potentially euphoric.
Medium Experience: 6000mg to 30000mgย โ You may experience significant introspection, frightening visuals, thought loops, perception of reincarnation, action loops.
High Experience 30000+mgย โ Uncharted territory, please look up trip reports on reddit andย Erowid.
โ How should I consume Amanita Muscaria?
- Tea: You can pack the mushrooms into tea bags and steep the mushrooms at 160f for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Eat them straight, will probably taste pretty bad and you’d have to eat a lot for a big dose.
- Grind them up and put them into capsules –ย probably the best way if you have a capsule filler.
๐ซ How should I store Amanita Muscaria?
Store out of direct sunlight, in room temperature and preferably in a glass jar with a desiccant pack. You can also put them in a plastic bag, as long as you minimize temperature and oxygen level.
โ ๏ธ Do not consume any Amanita Muscaria with Alcohol or Benzodiazepines
DO NOT consume if using any other GABA-A Agonists such as alcohol or Benzodiazepines as it will increase its effects and increase chances of Benzo or Alcohol overdose.
