Welcome to my freshest trip report ever!
Usually my trip reports are pretty long winded, but this one I will keep short and to the point because I am still feeling the effects somewhat as this just took place about half an hour before posting this.
So I know I have been writing a lot about Amanita Muscaria lately, so my apologies if I'm coming across as a tad redundant with this post, it's not my intention.
So all the talk of Amanita M. made me want to give the old smoked DMT/Amanita combination a go for old times sake..
I generally use hand picked
sundried Amanita Muscaria in very small amounts for Ayahuasca boosting but it had actually been more than a year since I fired up the DMT pipe after eating Amanita.
To get to the point, I took the smallest piece off of some sun dried Amanita cap that I had stashed away from last year.(I took about 200mg of cap).
One thing I noticed right away, is that Amanita gets MORE potent with age. Usually the effects are mild, but this time I could feel it really strongly..I was smoking marijuana with it.(I'm a regular smoker) but I got really really stoned after I ate the tiny bit of Amanita.
The Amanita took effect in about 5 minutes..very fast.
30 minutes after taking the mushroom bit I still felt stoned/sedated from the Amanita...I went ahead and smoked 15mg of yellowish DMT out of a glass oil burner, using matches.
I knew..right away I was in for it. I laid back and KAWOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSH I was taken..BYe BYe.
Taken to a hyperspace destination that I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE..
..(I usually see a similar hyperspace environment every time....
This time there was a very distinctly VEDIC theme to everything I was seeing, I saw many very Hindu looking entities that I recognized from Hindu mythology. Some I did not recognize but still they looked hindu in some way... including a GIANT koliedoscopic elephant that seemed very friendly...I presumed it to be Ganesh?
Many of the vedic looking enities and machinery/gadgetry here appeared to be the color of burnished brass and or highly polished gold. There was a great number of jewels and flowers in the mix as well, one entity looked like a flower, but again everything was ultra VEDIC
I have seen what I would consider to be angelic beings before but these were unlike anything I have yet seen. It's my understanding the concept of Soma is a vedic one...I had read about the idea that Amanita could be Soma...I have considered the possibility but now I am 99% convinced that Amanita is the Soma of legend, or at least that Amanita has some connection to Veda and Hinduism.
So that's enough of the spiritual speculation now for my more scientific questions about what happened......
My experience lasted for 15 solid MINUTES! Almost like I had taken harmalas before hand...the visual intensity was also as if I had taken harmalas but this had a completely different vibe to it. So there is some kind of MAOI like activity going on here....? Any ideas from knowledgeable nexians?
From the wikapedia -
Quote:Ibotenic acid and muscimol are structurally related to each other and to two major neurotransmitters of the central nervous system: glutamic acid and GABA respectively. Ibotenic acid and muscimol act like these neurotransmitters, muscimol being a potent GABAA agonist, while ibotenic acid is an agonist of NMDA glutamate receptors and certain metabotropic glutamate receptors[71] which are involved in the control of neuronal activity. It is these interactions which are thought to cause the psychoactive effects found in intoxication. Muscimol is the agent responsible for the majority of the psychoactivity.[12][52]
Muscazone is another compound more recently isolated from European specimens of the fly agaric. It is a product of the breakdown of ibotenic acid by ultra-violet radiation
So it looks like the GABA and or NMDA receptors have a drastic effect on DMT potentiation as well as Harmala potentiation....???
I was wondering if any Nexian with way more scientific knowledge than me could throw in their two cents on this INCREDIBLE phenomena.
