Amanita Muscaria as part of my puzzle for world healing

[andre42]

Hello everyone!

I have recently come across Amanita Muscaria in my research, and in nature, and have felt an unmistakable call towards this mushroom.

If Amanita Dreamer sees this message, please leave your blessing in the comment for me to link my website to your YouTube channel, specifically the video detailing your recovery from benzodiazepines.

My theory: processed pharmaceutical drugs given for psychiatry are obviously damaging (e.g. benzodiazepines), and have natural counterparts (e.g. Amanita Muscaria) that can be used instead.

For the record, I have not scrounged through this forum nearly as much as I should to make this post, and I would be genuinely suprised if this following connection has not already been made, BUT:

"muscimol [is] a potent GABAA agonist" as mentioned on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria (yes, not the greatest source, I know)

Also,

"Benzodiazepines
Drug class
Lorazepam.svg
Lorazepam, one of the more commonly prescribed benzodiazepines.
Class identifiers
Use Anxiety, seizures, muscle spasms
ATC code N05BA
Mode of action GABAA receptor" as detailed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzodiazepine

So, I am awfully busy, and my focus is on organic produce, organic farming for the 99%, regenerative agriculture, vegan lifestyle for the masses, et cetera, but this evidence seems damning and undeniable: amanita muscaria, specifically muscimol, can and should be used in place of the damaging pharmaceutical benodiazepines.

Any thoughts? The point is that both these chemicals act on Gaba sub A.

My personal experience shows Amanita Muscaria helps me contain my weed obsession for lack of a better term (lol).

Thanks for your time everyone! Have a blessed day and keep up the good work!
