What is Mad Honey?
Mad honey is a type of honey produced by the largest honey bee in the world, the Himalayan giant honey bee. These ladies are also called cliff bees because they build their nests on overhanging rocks; far away from predators. Only a few daredevils from native tribes descend on the nests with a homemade rope from above to steal the honey from the 3 centimeter bees.
They do not do this without reason. The honey not only provides you with many carbohydrates, but also a pleasant high. The bees get their pollen from, among others, certain rhododendrons that contain a toxic substance. In high doses, you even hallucinate from this substance in the honey.
Mad Honey Effects
“Mad Honey” earned its name because a jar of honey like that makes you feel a little silly. Real Mad Honey actually contains the grayanotoxin that comes from those particular rhododendrons. That's why it's also called "rhodotoxin." Traditionally, mad honey has been used as an aphrodisiac, for high blood pressure and for digestive problems. It works something like this. Grayanotoxins act in our bodies on the sodium ion channels and muscarinic receptors. These are the same receptors involved in ingesting the toxic fly agaric. These substances can cause the following symptoms with normal doses of mad honey:
- Relaxed feeling, sense of excitement, softening of visual field, auditory and visual hallucinations.
- May help you fall asleep faster.
- May provide relief from coughing.
Please note that mad honey may have the following physical effects: decreased blood pressure, changes in heart rhythm, dizziness, nausea, sweating, headaches, and difficulty standing.
Dosage
One teaspoon of mad honey is a common dosage. Two teaspoons is a more recreational dosage. The more you take, the more the adverse side effects become noticeable. Be careful, because if you take too much you can get quite sick.
Buying Mad Honey
Buying Mad honey used to be rather difficult, because not all honey said to contain those psychoactive substances actually contains grayanotoxins. At Real Mad Honey, the honey has been tested in the lab. Analysis reports can be found on their website.
