so i had some dried AM(cracker-dried then sat in sun for couple weeks), used that to turn some water into wine, which is all fine and good for microdosing, but i was wondering if there was something i can do for larger doses.
last time i reduced it all (140º-160ºhoping to get some oil, all i got was some incredibly slimy water with a skin, but i think i some how cooked off the muscimol? (i read that its boiling point is 175º so idk how thats possible, but i felt less than a large microdose off that (no change in perception or body high to speak of).

but, is there a way to dose myself aside from slurping down a fairly large amount of mushroom juice? (its opaque [can't see light through it, even if held up to the bulb] with honey-ish color, with a deep red tint to it)

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

so i reduced all the juice i had, this time on extremely low heat (constantly monitoring it, only enough heat to produce barely visible steam)
after about 2 days of reducing it on low low heat, i got a almost black (brownish-red) resin that is very fragrant.
a spoonful of this is enough for pretty minimal effects (similar to about 2-3 microdoses).

Have you had a full on experience with the amanitas before? I am curious as to what that is like. They have fascinated me for a while, but they don't grow near me, and they are so expensive for only a couple doses from vendors. Plus, the potency varies so much so its hard to know what to do with them.

Good luck with your experimenting!

no, just changes in perception, a feeling of falling/flying, a mild body high, and lots of puking.
i know that if i were to have drunk my urine on a few separate occasions that i would have experienced a strong, dream-like state. but muscimol makes your urine reek (at least mine), and i couldn't work up the willpower to drink my own pee even if it didn't smell bad so...
i don't think its for me, but i kinda wish i had a pee fetish would make it a lot easier.
i am young and willing to spend years though, so i am not overly concerned. i have my plants to grow as i bide my time

but yea i had an interest in them in cali (tbh at the time i thought they were generic psilocybins that looked cool, and also mario) and when i moved up to alaska, they were fucking EVERYWHERE. my first hunt i filled a gallon ziploc bag (only to ruin them all by immediately putting them in the freezer, and having the oxidize, to learn later that oil or something would have prevented lol).

personally i would advice you check out bouncing bear botanicals 28g of caps for $25, i would start with 10g as a dose, if that is not enough you can still go as high as 18g (i really doubt this will be necessary, for your first time 10 will probably be more than enough to puke it all out ).

the easiest way i have found to consume it is to crumble the caps by hand (they will almost positively be cracker dry) put that in a water bottle or something, fill it two thirds with water and shake the shit out of it till you can't see light through the water bottle. pour out the water, strain the mushroom, squeeze over strainer, put back in bottle, repeat till no more color change. then you take that and reduce it down on LOW LOW heat (you can eat the resin by the spoonful, then chase it with water. taste like honey/mushroom/disgusting).
or do a tea, but mushroom tea isn't the tastiest. (though cooked amanitas are pretty delicious).

but i wouldn't expect more than a "psychedelic drunkeness" unless you are planning on drinking your urine
"he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'" John 7:38 (literal translation)

hmm, i wonder why i never felt even slightly nauseous after consuming more than double that amount>?> and i did recycle urine although it did not smell--eww.

i found amanita tea/soup yummy

it is amazing, though, when you find a flush of them, there are soooo many!

also interesting about cooking down to a resin. is this a common practice among siberian shaman? and how about your cold water extraction prior to reduction, where is this method from?

Thanks for the info Parshvik! I will definitely have to try more experimentation in the future. I too am young and more than willing to spend however long it takes to learn as much as I can about nature.

Namaste

no real method, just a culmination of information and experiences has led me to this.
but muscimol is water soluble so it works great.

and most teas/soups either start with raw (not dried) amanitas, so the potency is drastically decreased (cracker dry + uv light = more muscimol), either that or they cook it too high (i wouldn't say above 170º for tea)

but yea, even at low doses (6g) i was feeling nausea, didn't feel much else till around 12g.

glad i could help, tigerstrike
