Might amanita muscaria mushroom microdosing be the next big trend on the psychedelic horizon? Perhaps.

According to data collected by Baba Masha MD—paediatrician and OB/GYN with a doctorate in medicine and a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineer, as well as author of the 2022 book Microdosing Amanita Muscaria: Creativity, Healing, and Recovery with the Sacred Mushroom—the potential of microsing The Other Magic Mushroom includes “help and healing for hormonal dysfunction, low libdo., allergies, asthma, swelling, gingivitis, nail fungus, digestive issues, and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis as well as recovery from stroke and cardiac arrest” [source back of book]; as well as apparently relieving pain, depression, hypertension, insomnia, and even interrupting addiction.

You, I believe correctly, might wonder how much of this is placebo, and where the data to support these claims even came from. Thankfully, Baba Masha is on the this episode of Adventures Through The Mind to outline explore these questions with us, as well as a throughout look at exactly what microdosing amanita muscaria looks like insofar as preparation and protocol.

Additionally, it is important to couch this conversation with the fact that Baba Masha is a pseudonym, her face and voice is disguised in this interview, and her true identity has been kept secret. Why? Because she hosted the Radio Psychedelix podcast in Russian since 2013. A podcast that has been twice banned by the Russian government.

In this episode of the podcast we first explore Masha’s journey of making a banned-podcast about psychedelics in Russia; being the first person to be public about consuming psychedelics in Russia; as well as the context of drug use and prohibitionist propaganda in Russia and it’s impact on public health.

From here Masha outlines the origins of her microdosing amanita muscaria study; where the data came from; the results; the potential influence of placebo effect; some nuances about the chemical compositions and pharmacology of amanita; and what her study revealed about the optimal dosing and preparation protocols for microdosing amanita muscaria.

Enjoy.
