DOSE:
2 caps oral Amanitas - A. pantherina (tea)
BODY WEIGHT: 210 lb
After much research on Amanita Pantherina I decided to prepare and dose myself. I ate Amanita Muscaria in Eastern Europe but experienced no effects. I ate them raw. I picked these Amanita Pantherinas on the 8th of May 2022 in the Pacific Northwest. One cap fully bloomed at 3 inches and another premature cap at the same length. I partially dried the mushrooms in the oven at 210 degrees for a couple hours then proceeded to chop them up, and boil them for an hour. The first fully bloomed cap produced little to no effects after an hour of ingestion. The second, partially bloomed cap produced very intense effects after only 20 minutes or so. The effects were coming on so strong that I induced vomiting.

I felt as though my heart was beating in my head to the beat of an ancient drum, I mean this in the most pleasant way. I felt as if I was walking next to time, not bound by the linear constraints of it, I had a benzo, opiate, alcohol like feeling of relaxing and peace with a feeling of excitement and joy at the same time. I was dancing around telling my friends of my experience when I started to feel a little tired. This is where my memory fades.

I wake up at exactly 6AM having just had an incredible, lucid dream. I envisioned the earth as a circle with humans walking about the surface of this circle. Language was broken down into nothingness so in order for these humans to understand each other, they had to TRUST each other. The ones that trusted one another grew and advanced, they progressed, while the others regressed. It was an incredibly simplified history of man, or so it seems. As they progressed so did their language, love and understanding of one another.

This substance can only be defined as magical, or medicinal. I cannot classify it as anything else. Upon waking I still felt a deep relaxation and peace as I lied in my bed. There was some food strewn about and batteries (I was trying to replace the batteries of my remote control in my bedroom). Besides that, nothing unusual was afoot in my house.

I advice extreme caution when using this medicine, please take a smaller dose than I did. I feel I got lucky with the way the mushroom treated me.
