GRGR(12)NOTES (3)

[David Morris]

Kai,

"Flycaps" are slang for Amarita Muscaria?  Were so so luck as to be able to 
go into the woods to pick your own?  I wish they grew in Louisiana, but I 
think not, at least not in the City of New Orleans.  I found a web-business 
called The Basement Shaman, 
http://st3.yahoo.net/basementshaman/ammusflyagmu.html
which sells them (dried) (and thus I assume they are legal in the US - 
shocking!), but the item is so popular they've been out since the Spring.  
I've put in dibs for the next stock.

I look forward to trying them.  I hear they make one a little nauseous, but 
that a few tokes fixes that right up.  Another very good site to visit is 
The Vaults of Erowid, full of very detailed info on all sorts of 
psychedelics.

Sincerely,
David Morris
