The psilocybin containing variety also naturally grow in our yard, and the Amanita is an invasive variety. The "high" people feel is a chemical lobotomy from mild poisoning, and onset of renal failure. Hence why you feel nausea and often erupt out both ends if ingested (especially bad if allergic to a specific fungi.)

I asked for 5 citations not sponsored by dealers that he claimed were available, and my post was flagged. To be fair, I would also accept 3 double-blind medical citations of reasonable quality.

You can't argue with the irrational, as hitting yourself in the head with a brick also causes similar results. lol =3

None of those publications are sponsored by dealers.

There are multiple others which I’m not going to search but I hope now you have starting points, you’ll be curious enough to do further research.

> hitting yourself in the head with a brick also causes similar results.

That’s false and you aren’t going to find a single paper (funded by anyone) that would conclude this.

Why don't you show me 5 citations of renal failure from a confirmed psilocybe cubensis in the tens of thousands of years people have been eating them.

Or... don't bother, the one you will find is questionable at best if you read past the headline.
