and and it will do the work. It'll get there. Yeah. So, yeah, I I I think the Soma is really an interesting one. And I think that um what what I do understand it is Soma is based on Ammonita Mascaria. That's the red and white one. Uh I'm pretty sure that most people would be familiar with it, but I've read quite a bit about it. Um I wonder do you have this mushroom growing wild in India? And you must have this mushroom growing wild in India cuz as far as I know it is grown wild everywhere in the world. So let's show you emuscaria. You'll know as soon as you see it. But this is what um this is what this I saw. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I saw. Yeah. This is this is also psilocybin. Not psilocybin. It's a different compound. Um and there are two different compounds in this mushroom and one of them is uh believed to be quite dangerous. Um ibutinic acid and muskimal are the the couple of different um uh compounds. So muskimal is uh one that I think people recognize as being quite um transinducing.

So you get like loops of reality. And then ibotinic acid is gabaurgic and it gives you like a really good rest, anti-anxiety, but causes like almost like psychedelic visions in your sleep. Um, so a couple of different compounds that may be functional in in this mushroom and that I believe are related to so many different uh folktales and cultural tales around the world. you know, you can see red and white the origin of Santa Claus. Um, reindeer love to consume this mushroom and you know that it's said that they get, you know, they get high. Um, so flying reindeer and Santa Claus, that's an understandable myth or or story.

um people in the areas where these are found, these are found under pine trees and uh you would you would collect them and hang them on the on the branches of the pine trees to dry out so that you could save them. You can imagine these decorating a pine tree is very much like a Christmas tree. Also there is there's the tale that you know these are collected by shaman in some Siberian uh nation where it's uh in the in the time of year where it gets really snowpacked they live in yurts and the yurts have a central smoke stack and often the snow would pile higher than any door. So you would actually enter and leave the yurt through the central smoke hole in the top. Um and if you had a shaman who was actually drying out these mushrooms over a fire and would come in and collect um collect and change out the mushrooms, they would be crawling in through the chimney. So you get, you know, the correlation to some sort of a figure like Santa Claus climbing down the chimney to to remove or to take the gifts or to to leave gifts. those sorts of things, you know, you get lots of different tails that can come out of this um that a lot of people accept. And then also these grow in the time of year um down here where it's close to Easter and uh you know these are growing underneath the trees in the forest. You go out looking for very brightly colored um Easter eggs essentially because this mushroom actually has an egg form emanated egg. You see if I look that up, I just pull up the image on that egg form. Oh, I accidentally clicked too much. Ammonita mascaria
