Modern humans must learn how to relate to psychoactives
responsibly, treating them with respect and awareness,
working to minimize harms and maximize benefits, and
integrating use into a healthy, enjoyable, and productive life.
Particularly Potent in South Jersey
Amanita muscaria var. formosa

DOSE:
10 g oral Amanitas - A. muscaria (dried)
BODY WEIGHT: 178 lb
I have taken Siberian, African, Europeon, Washington state, etc. A. muscaria 15-20 times in the past. I always oven dry them at 200 degrees, turning the oven off after temp. is reached, to cracker crispness. My dose is 13-16 grams.

I have been collecting them in southern New Jersey for the last 10 days and have drying them in a food dehydrater until they reach cracker crispness. I have tested them at doses between 6 to 10 grams three times and have found them to be extremely psychoactive,and increasing in intensity as dosage is increased. These local shrooms are easily five times stronger than any others that I have used in the past and am still using. 15 min. after taking the doses on an empty or semi-empty stomach intoxication starts. Somewhat like an alcohol feeling. I usually doze off about an hour later for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Upon waking I have a feeling of heaviness and incoordination. Very pleasant.

At doses of 8-10 grams,in dim to dark rooms,I get beautiful yellow-green geometric patterns. This lasts for about 2 to 3 hours before turning into red web-like visuals that may or may not undulate or wave. After a total around I fall asleep. South Jersey A. muscaria are by far the strongest and most active of A. muscaria that I have used from any other source or location.

This experience is different and has different visuals than psilocybin mushrooms.
