This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Right? It says it's a common food that has a warning to cook it for a specific amount of time to avoid the hallucinations. It must be a horrible experience where you get crazy sick and hallucinate, otherwise lots of people would be doing if recreationally.
Apparently the hallucinations appear whether your eyes are open or closed and last for up to a week, sometimes more depending on dosage. And those are from people who ate some that were undercooked, so presumably most of the psychoactive material had been neutralized.
It doesn't sound like a pleasant experience.
