❌ Myth: Amanita Muscaria is Poisonous.
✅ Reality: Amanita Muscaria is NOT poisonous when prepared and consumed responsibly.

• Historically used in traditional practices worldwide.
• Effects depend on preparation method (raw vs. decarbed).
• Many users report no withdrawal or dependency with moderate use.

Not exactly. Unlike psilocybin mushrooms, Amanita Muscaria does not primarily act on serotonin receptors. Instead, it influences GABA, Glutamate, and Acetylcholine, resulting in effects that are more sedative, dream-enhancing, and anxiolytic rather than traditionally psychedelic. High doses can lead to dissociative or dreamlike states more similar to something like ketamine, but it does not typically produce visual hallucinations like psilocybin. Although these have been reported by some.

Many people incorporate low-dose Amanita Muscaria into their daily routine and report life-changing benefits for relaxation, sleep, and overall well-being. However, higher doses should not be taken every day, as consistent heavy use may lead to some level of dependency over time.

It's all about finding what works for you. Some people thrive on daily low doses, while others prefer occasional use. We recommend starting with a lower dose, listening to your body, and taking breaks as needed to ensure a balanced approach.

Yes, Amanita Muscaria is legal in most of the U.S. except for Louisiana. It is also legal in many other countries, as it does not contain psilocybin or other banned tryptamines. However, laws vary by location, so always check your local regulations before purchasing or traveling with Amanita products.

Potential side effects are typically dose-dependent and more common when consuming high amounts of raw (non-decarbed) Amanita Muscaria, which has higher ibotenic acid content. These may include:

• Mild nausea or stomach discomfort
• Body warmth, tingling, or slight muscle twitches
• Sedation or drowsiness (higher doses)
• Occasional dizziness or ataxia (unsteady walking)

To reduce side effects, start with lower doses and consider decarboxylating Amanita before consumption. Most people can tolerate several grams of raw Amanita before they start to experience any negatives.

Amanita Muscaria interacts with GABA receptors, similar to alcohol and benzodiazepines, which is why some people report using it as a natural alternative for reducing dependence on these substances. While anecdotal evidence is promising, more research is needed, and we strongly advise working with a medical professional if discontinuing any prescribed medications.
