Amanita Muscaria Part 3: Baba Masha and the Magical Microdose

Could Amanita Muscaria be the secret to finally clearing up your psoriasis? Making your poops more regular? Increasing your agility in the ring? How about in the bedroom ;) The answer may shock you!  We discuss whether this fabled "poison" could have a place in the modern medicine cabinet. And after exploring several studies on the effects of muscimol and ibotenic acid, we examine the results of the largest informal survey of Amanita Muscaria microdosing ever conducted, by none other than the Queen of Amanita Content herself, Russian doctor and psychonaut Baba Masha M.D. And of course, we close things out with a cautionary tale of Amanita Macrodose gone awry!

Amanita Muscaria Part 2: Soma and The Mushroom Messiah

Was the REAL Jesus not a man, but a mushroom shrouded in metaphor to survive Roman persecution? Did amanita muscaria inspire pre-Hindu Vedic priests to craft literally thousands of hymns? When the stakes are this high, can Jamie “pull that up?”  Today we're continuing on our trip down Amanita Lane talking about two dudes and their much disputed mushroom theories! We start off with Robert Gordon Wasson and his Soma Hypothesis, in which he argues amanita muscaria was the true identity of the plant god Soma from the Ninth Mandala of the Rig Veda. Then we go deeper down the rabbit hole with John Marco Allegro, who claims that the beloved Jesus Christ was in fact a cover up for the horny mushroom rituals too wild to be written down. Finally, we cap things off with a classic trip report that really brings everything together in one glorious golden shower.  To support all our hard work and hear a truly spectacular bonus report featuring some force-fem-shamanism, check out the Extended Release version of Amanita Muscaria Part 1 on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/TripReportReport [https://www.patreon.com/c/TripReportReport] Follow us on Instagram @tripreportreport [https://www.instagram.com/tripreportreport/] Aaaaaand check out our ever growing list of harm reduction resources at tripreportreport.com [https://www.tripreportreport.com/] Sources Referenced in this Episode John Marco Allegro interview with Van Kooten & De Bie; recorded for Dutch TV [1976] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOu9tV6uy2E]  John M.
