In her recent free workshop "Mushroom Magic", @amanitadreamer mentioned some potentially "scary" effects of fly agaric.
These include:
- thought loops
- sleep paralysis
- moments of vision loss/blackness
What other subjective effects would you add to this list? What might the average person find discomfiting?
Why I'm asking this:
Just so you know, I'm not intending to disrespect the mushroom by taking foolish amounts of it. I'm currently on Day 4 of @amanitadreamer's microdosing protocol. I'm very slowly building up to take my first ever macrodose, and only after that will I try a recreational dose.
I know nobody can tell me exactly what kind of ride I'm in for. But still, it helps to know a little of what to expect.
For example, imagine someone who has never heard of sleep paralysis. They might experience it for the first time in their life (after taking a rec dose) and then panic. But what if someone had advised them beforehand that Amanita might temporarily induce such a state? My guess is they'd freak out far less.
So please, do share your experiences so I can go in with as much knowledge as possible.
Thank you everyone. Much love <3
