Thanks for the recipe, Aquavitae.Aquavitae wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 11:30 pmI´ve tried A. pantherina 3 times, more than ten years ago. One small piece of dried cap each time, boiled for more than twenty minutes in spring water.
Felt general physical discomfort. Much more "electric" at nervous system level as many people report. Kind of "feline spirit" fierce feeling. Weird paranoid feelings about liver health concerns. From those experiences also learned that having beer or any carbonated drinks the same day is not advisable. Don Teeter from the Ambrosia Society also mentions that in regards to AM interactions, I found later.
Never picked any panthers since then. Prefer the fly agarics.
If I were to pick them again, I would make a tincture:
1 Cold dry caps
2 Heat them in the oven at 75 Celsius degrees for 20-30 minutes
3 Break them into pieces, not powder, into a glass jar
4 Cover the content of the jar with non denatured 70% ethilic alcohol
5 Let the jar sit and the content macerate in dark cool place for 3-6 months
6 Double boil the opened jar and its contents in gentle heat for volume reduction and water soluble compunds extraction, for 1 hour
7 Filter, bottle and store in cool dark place
If I did this tincture I would only put ONE drop under my tongue and start very cautiously from there, not having more than three drops in one week.
Rebis.
Oh my god, that must have been a scary 
situation, Tyler.
