Amanita Muscaria 25x

[the.nimble.pig]

Hi there, my apologies if there is already a mention of this somewhere but I have scoured the big and dandy on this and found nothing.

What would be a sensible dosage of fly agaric extract 25x? There is such discrepancy on the internet - between 0.2g and 1.5g, and I want to have a fairly strong experience... without dying, preferably. As you guys are all about HR while having a fun time, thought it would be a good idea to ask your opinions.

What would you think/recommend for the semi-pro tripper who's not afraid of a little tremor? 8)

It's impossible to say, as the potency of amanita mushrooms varies pretty widely.

I would start at the low end of reported doses and titrate upwards.

The extract in question is derived from 'Washington Red Caps', does that help?

Not really. The species/subspecies/strain can give a general idea of strength but the problem is that environmental factors are much more influential than genetic factors. So you could have an ultra-potent strain grown in ultra-shitty conditions that therefor has only traces of active compounds. Or you could have a generally weak strain grown in carefully controlled and modulated conditions that is thus very strong.

Even in person there's no way to tell, but through the Internet it's even more impossible to have any idea.

Not particularly, as the content can be seasonally variable as well.

See Erowid for more info.

Ok, so now I know how variable it is, what would be a good base dose to take? Or is that still impossible to answer? I wish I was allowed to tell you where it came from online but no sourcing allowed!

Look at a dose for raw Amanitas, divide that dose by 25, there's your figure. Anywhere from 0.04g (40mg) to 1 gram of 25x would therefore be within the dosage chart suggested by Erowid. I would start lower rather than higher.

Where exactly the material was sourced from does not matter; the vendor could have multiple different batches, for instance.
