Methods: In order to address these specific criticisms over 600 anecdotal accounts of Amanita muscaria inebriation were collected and analyzed to determine the impact of preparation on Amanita muscaria’s effects.ĭiscussion: The findings of this study demonstrated that the effects of Amanita muscaria were related to the type of preparation employed, and that its toxic effects were considerably reduced by preparations that paralleled those described for Soma in the Rig Veda. Several critics have reasoned that such preparation should be unnecessary if equivalent results can be obtained by consuming the raw plant, as is done with other psychoactive mushrooms. One omission in Wasson’s theory is his failure to explain how pressing and filtering Soma, as described in the Rig Veda, supports his theory of Soma’s identity. While Wasson’s theory has garnered acclaim, it is not without its faults.

The dried mushroom caused less nausea and vomiting than when it was consumed fresh, which supports the notion that the preparation methods described for Soma in the Rig Veda may have been a means of reducing the toxicity of Amanita Muscaria, in accordance with Wasson’s theory over the identity of Soma. This meta-analysis (n=525) analyzed the effects of Amanita Muscaria (or fly agaric) with regards to inebriation, nausea, and vomiting, sampled across various sources of self-reported ingestion.
