Overdose? Act now. Call emergency services — say "unresponsive, not breathing". Give naloxone for opioid-like signs. Hotlines
⚡What it does
- Muscimol (not psilocybin): sedating, dreamlike, deliriant — unlike classic psychedelics
- Giggling, drowsiness, vivid dreams
⚠Key risks
- NOT psilocybin — ibotenic acid causes confusion, agitation, vomiting
- Preparation matters: improper drying leaves toxic ibotenic acid (neurotoxic)
- Lookalike DEATH CAP risk — Amanita phalloides kills; misidentification is fatal
- Unregulated gummies/extracts — dosing unknown
- Sedation + vomiting = aspiration risk
- TikTok 'legal mushroom' trend — teens buying without research
✚Overdose signs
- Severe confusion, delirium
- Vomiting, seizures (ibotenic acid poisoning)
- Coma
- If misidentified as death cap: delayed liver failure — emergency
