My question though is what is the traditional amanita consumption method? I've heard they eat the mushrooms then continually drink their own piss until they get the desired "trip" but kind of stopped reading at that point as the thought made me... yeah don't eat a heavy meal before reading about amanita usage...
Usually they didn't drink their own piss, but a shaman would consume the amanita and then others would drink his piss. That's because the muscimol isn't broken down (or maybe just not much?), so can be reconsumed. You don't need to drink your/anyone else's piss, but in reality, doing so is not bad for you, and conserves more of the drug - so in a culture where the drug is very sacred, it's a given that this method would be used so as not to waste any. In our society it's not necessary because amanitas are pretty cheap.
