Amazing how early ...
Amazing how early Christianity and many other world religions originated from this Psilocybin Mushroom "A. Muscaria." ? People just don't get it!

This makes sense. I ...
This makes sense. I think in switzerland it is that they have a legend of a man in a red suit that delivers mushrooms to peoples houses but since the snow is so high he has to drop it down? their chimney since theyve been snowed in lolz

Is that you Santa????

Non Christmas ...
Non Christmas Christmas has always been based around the winter solstice, and psychidelic plants have always been a part of shamanism. Even as a Christian I have to say...must have been a? WAY more fun practice... exept for drinking deer p**s

or more ...
or more specifically: The Santa Claus & His Reindeer myth is based on a kick-ass? high.

@AirWarCrimewave ...
@AirWarCrimewave however, there is a notorious tendency? in amanita muscaria to vary greatly depending on the particulars of the individual mushroom, and the individual consuming them. People have used them ceremonially for many centuries.

where can get? some ...
where can get? some of those 'shrooms ?

@sensibisle1 I know ...
@sensibisle1 I know the difference between them as I explained in my previous comment. Magic Mushrooms contain Psilocybin/Psilocin which these do not. Ive had a handfull of fresh Fly Agaric that had little effect and gave me a stomach ache and? I purchased some dry ones the size of small plates legally online which had no effect at all.

@mikeVII hear? hear!
@mikeVII hear? hear!

@beinghumangirl ...
@beinghumangirl Most of the red in the xmas lore is based on this mushroom, Santa's suit? being red and white etc.., so rudolph's red nose is quite possibly a reference to the mushroom..

@Trahira517 Nope, ...
@Trahira517 Nope, just in the winter, the mushroom was used as an energizing tonic? to help get through the winter. That's where the Santa lore came from, the Shaman would go around giving out the mushroom in the winter, thus... Santa Claus.

@rieskimo Yeah, but ...
@rieskimo Yeah, but do you have a better explanation? Just plain old magic? The reindeer were thought to fly because the mushrooms makes you feel so light that you take giant leaps. In an animal that is already a big jumper, you can imagine that it would look like they were flying, taking giant leap after giant leap...?

@AirWarCrimewave ...
@AirWarCrimewave You're kidding me. If you don't know the difference between psilocybes and amanitas, you have no business commenting on either. How much did you take and was it fresh or cooked?? I've taken A. Muscaria and can tell everyone that they are powerful and not to be taken lightly.
