An evaluation of the irrational use of smoking mixtures containing entheogens, specifically the Amanita muscaria mushroom, was conducted through multidisciplinary pharmacognostic, forensic, pharmaceutical, clinical, toxicological, and legal analyses. The study concluded that such use is irrational. A forensic medical and toxicological examination of Amanita poisoning was performed, and pharmaceutical safety measures for poisoning cases were informed. A pharmacognostic study of Amanita muscaria was conducted. Based on normative analysis of the circulation of fly agaric entheogens, regulatory initiatives were proposed. The mushroom contains psychoactive substances psilocybin or psilocin with hallucinogenic effects.
