(This is perfectly legal where I live if that matters)

I’m really curious because I used to have a lot of misconceptions about mushrooms of the psilocybe variety and I’m wondering how fly agaric would compare. From what I’ve heard it’s more dissociative and less euphoric and the visuals reflect that too but I’d like to hear some first hand knowledge. I’ll probably try some fly agaric tea (that way it’s not neurotoxic) at some point, only a small amount to get to know it. I just think it’s a fascinating species in general and basically I want to experience some of what it has to offer. But if I do I’d like a rough idea of what to expect.

    I’ve done it quite a few times.

    It’s not really comparable to psilocybin mushrooms in any way. It feels a lot closer to like alcohol where instead of getting belligerent or even really drunk, you have troubles telling how big you are.

    There are sometimes visuals but they’re more like being sleep deprived.

    Where it REALLY shines is when you use it as a dream drug. Dreams on amanita are pretty close to indistinguishable from real life. And you are usually quite lucid for them.

    You should also really buy dried caps and simmer them with a little bit of lemon juice to make tea. The gummies are super sus and it’s really a crapshoot whether you’ll get a research chemical, straight up THC, or synthetic muscimol/ibo which is bad for your liver.
