People also really underestimate the potency of edibles in general especially without a tolerance. Then you have people who are just naturally more sensitive.

I have a funny brownie story from my childhood:

I had some friends over and made some super dank brownies, well this girl came over for a bit. I knew she smoked so I offered her a brownie, and then when it was time for her to leave I offered her another to take home for her twin sister.

Well she left and I had a mellow night. The next day I am woken up to a pounding knock on the front door. Sounded like the police or something. So I get up still very groggy and baked, and open the door. Well it was the girls mother, she was furious and started going off. Apparently she thought I had been doing heroin with her daughter, she was threatening to call the cops etc...

Apparently the girl decided to eat the extra brownie I gave for her sister... Then she went home and locked herself in the bathroom and passed out! So I slowly explained that no I didn't do heroin and it was just ganja brownies, at first she didn't believe me so I offered her one and then she started to calm down.

Her daughters had been hanging out with shady kids so she feared the worst. It was a pretty damn intense way to wake up, and it made things pretty weird between me and the girl. But I am just glad to listened to me and didn't just call the cops.

It's funny to look back on now but it definitely made me realize you have to be careful with edibles. Even if people smoke you never know how they will react.

The diet stuff is largely debated, cheese won't kill you. With a high enough dose of MAOIs + aged cheeses it could cause side effects though.

Also the MAOI's used in Ayahuasca are actually reversible inhibitors. Which means their safety restrictions are looser then most synthetic MAOIs which are usually not reversible. They do still take safety precautions especially with other drugs/medicine but like I said the specifics are debated.

There is a lot of work going on in this area, but the same scientific principles need to be applied.

Yes it would be nice to see more hard science drive out the snake oil salesmen while also dismissing myths about the risks and benefits of different plants. I see a lot of people dismiss any medicinal plants/fungi as BS thanks to some of these shady scammers and questionable products.

Anyways thanks for your work!

What about identifying new species and researching ones we already know of but haven't bothered studying?

Guess there isn't as much of a market for that but who knows what kinds of useful things fungi could still be hiding.
