Amanita Muscaria effects
Filed Under Amanita muscaria experiences |
In addition to reports on Amanita Muscaria this web site also has BRIGHT BLUE links for those who may want to obtain these mushrooms or related goods and services.
The Amanita muscaria mushroom, also known as fly-agaric has been variously described as a poison, a gateway to mental clarity and a religious sacriment.
In the book “Plants of the Gods” authors Richard Evans Schultes and Albert Hoffman wrote, “The use of hallucinogenic plants has been a part of human experience for many millennia, yet modern Western societies have only recently become aware of the significance that these plants have had in shaping the history of primitive and even of enhanced cultures. In fact, the past twenty years have witnessed a vertiginous growth in interest in the use and possible value of hallucinogens in our own modern, industrialized, and urbanized society.”
Contemporary users describe the effects of Amanita Muscaria as including a dreamy intoxicated sensation, great mental clarity, uniquely different from the effects of such hallucinagens as LSD, mescaline and psilocybin. Alterations of the senses include visual, hearing and tasting sensations. Side effects are often listed as including nausea, vomiting, loss of balance, profuse salivation and sweating, chills and convulsions. Unlike the effects of alcohol, it is said not to leave a hangover effect afterwards. It should not be surprising that, because mushrooms are a natural, rather than a manufactured psychoactive, its described effects span quite a wide range. These effects take from thirty to sixty minutes to commence, and the experience lasts from three or four to ten or more hours.
