Firstly, the comic above uses the word psychedelic while showing an Amanita Muscaria. I never called it that but honestly, I'm not an expert and don't know the technical definitions of that type of thing, I'm just a guy that likes mushrooms.

Outside of my personal experience of having about 30 minutes of fun followed by 6 hours of not fun, here is the first result I got when searching for 'amanita muscaria side effects'

Emerging Risks of Amanita Muscaria: Case Reports on Increasing Consumption and Health Risks

People can have all sorts of different reactions to mushrooms, like I've never died from eating raw false morels, but others have.

Do you have a souce that says Amanita Muscaria doesn't give most people nausea and diarrhea?

I have heard however that the juice produced from dehydration has a lot less unwanted side effects, but I didn't bother to test that myself.

There are several thousand years of case history that do not mention anything about these reports you mentioned with a government website. Reports that do not match my own experience. This mushroom has the longest recorded use of any drug plant or fungi in the northern hemisphere, and here you are spreading bullshit to help make it illegal. Now maybe you do not know that's what you're doing but that's what you're doing. The government is not a fucking reliable source.

Somehow I knew you wouldn't trust or read any source I could provide.

On the contrary I will read it, later, when I'm in the mood for some dark fiction I repeat, the government is not a reliable source on this issue.

You should know that

The only source you provide comes from an organization that reports to donald trump. . .

The most common symptoms from ibotenic-acid containing mushroom ingestions are gastrointestinal symptoms, and CNS depression or excitation, or both CNS depression and excitation. Other symptoms include confusion, dizziness, dysphoria, visual hallucinations, agitation, ataxia, muscle fasciculation, seizures and coma depending on the amount of mushroom consumed. Seizures are generally reported only in pediatric ingestions.
