Fun fact: ibotenic acid is a muscimol prodrug and rather toxic for humans. You can filter the mushrooms through reindeer and drink their piss to get more muscimol than ibotenic acid.

It’s the 😵💫🤤 kind of poison

I remember reading ages ago that reindeer do that the other way around too - they learned to drink human piss when the farmers ate the mushrooms because it would get them high. So now reindeer are attracted to Siberian herder piss.
I have no clue if that anecdote has held up, the book I read it in was on some real hippie shit

Well, FWIW, I drank my own pee. It tasted like mushroom tea… Then the next time, it tasted like piss. Very much night and day

It might not be the 😵 kind of poison but it is absolutely the 🤮 kind of poison, even when decarbed. I’d describe it as 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮😵💫🤮😵💫🤮😵💫🤮😵💫😴😴😴 and definitely not 🤤 at any point.
