If you want to keep the cold out, consumer, try a few grams of cured fly agaric, as a tea. Wouldn't go beyond 5g depending on how it affects you, as each batch, or mushroom even is very variable in terms of muscimol content.
On a sufficient dose, you just won't feel it one bit, its so effective in this respect that in the wrong climatic conditions one actually has to be careful not to freeze to death. Its happened before, in people using it whilst camping, iirc, in winter.
I've gone to the shops, 3-4 miles away, walking before wearing nothing from the waist up and didn't feel a damned thing, in the midst of a howling blizzard. Snow and rain pissing down like crazy, yet I wasn't even chilly.
Best made as a hot tea with a bit of honey or sugar to sweeten. Tastes (and smells) extremely 'meaty'...strongly umami that is, presumably due to the glutamatergic effects of traces left behind of ibotenic acid upon umami-sensing taste receptors, which
sense glutamate as an indicator of proteins (and possibly of nucleic acids, can't remember for sure) in food. In short, its acting in the same way as MSG. Be warned that wherever you brew the tea, if its indoors, will smell of it very strongly indeed.
Its not a stench, just extremely strong smelling, not unpleasant at all, there is simply a lot of it.
Oh, and currently, drinking D&B, munching on a can of tinned grapefruit in grapefruit juice. I can't get enough of the stuff, or GFJ, I drank a couple of big cartons of the stuff earlier. I like the bitter-sweet flavor of it, and as a bonus it makes my morphine and oxy considerably stronger and longer lasting. I've yet to try it with dipropionylmorphine though. I have tried it with H but not in a fully active dose. And since I'm already taking cimetidine, I get several times that same effect.
Just testing it out w/ some H I just randomly found, enough on some already partially smoked foils to get off (there are a lot of them), plus a couple of hundred mg morphine. A pretty measly serving but improved by whats left on the foils plus my three glass pipes are pretty tarred up with residue, including at least a little of that really fucking strong stuff from a few weeks back. Getting a nice buzz on already. Necked a few 4mg tizanidine with it and I'm steadily getting more and more inclined to collapse in a heap on the sofa.
I have to agree with you sadie, about the hot sauce. Girl after my own heart there. I love tabasco, the habanero one, great stuff if one gets a cold too, a tablespoon of tabasco sauce does wonders to help unblock stuffy noses.
And not just hot sauce, I make my own steak spice mixture, with tons of different hot and spicy ingredients. Black pepper, various chillies, szechuan pepper, cubebs, fly agaric and peppery boletus. Plus if I can find any, Polygonum hydropiper, a relative of bistort, iirc. Grows in marshy areas and by rivers, and the leaves have a burning, biting sensation when chewed, so it makes for another hot spice with a unique flavor of its own.
