>or the local variety is just shitThat's a possibility, however, these can be very unpredictable, and the level of muscimol in them can vary greatly between each individual mushroom, even those picked in the same area.
Another point would be to avoid carbonated drinks for an hour or two after ingesting them. The curing process basically removes one carboxyl group from the ibotenic acid molecules, which converts them into muscimol, and the theory is that the CO2 present in carbonated drinks will reconvert it back into ibotenic acid. I don't know how scientifically sound this is, but taking that precaution certainly doesn't hurt.
For me, a dose of 5-10g provides a type of "chillax and play some Animal Crossing" effect, if that makes any sense.
Again, these are very unpredictable, and the effects can vary from person to person. Some may get delirious, while others only experience Cannabis or ethanol-like buzzes. I don't know how new you are to this, but what I did, was to start with very small doses (1g), and then just increased it over time, just to get to know how I react to it.
