The Magic of Muscimol

Episode 123,   Jul 05, 01:48 AM

Hello My Friends! Welcome back to the Show!

This week we will be discussing Muscimol, the alkaloid that holds benefits in the Aminita Muscaria, also known as Fly Agaric. With a nasty reputation that doesn't seem to hold water, I find it suspicious that I didn't know more about it, seeing that it grows here in my home state of Colorado. I break down the pharmacology, cultural use, and basic principles of decarboxylation to make the mushroom safer. I hope you enjoy! I really had fun presenting this one.

I hope you have a wonderful week! I will be forever grateful for your attention and ears! If you would like to talk about anything, please email me at thegingerbreadmansdialogues@gmail.com
