The narrator of the documentary made a promise to re-do a video on the Amanita muscaria mushroom if his comment got over 600 likes, which it did. He then made a new video where he consumed a double dose of the mushroom, which is a legal but potentially poisonous and neurotoxic substance. He prepared the mushroom as a wine, boiling it in an acidic solution to remove the neurotoxic alkaloids.
The narrator initially felt nauseous and uncomfortable after consuming the mushroom, but as time passed, he began to feel more relaxed and energetic. He started to dance and feel carefree, but eventually, the sedative effects kicked in, and he fell asleep.
Upon waking up, the narrator reported having vivid and intense dreams, which he described as a "dream trip." He noted that the experience was bizarre and not what he expected. The next morning, he reflected on the experience, stating that it was not intense or psychedelic enough for him to recommend.
The narrator concluded by thanking his supporters on Patreon, who had pledged their support after watching his recent video discussing his issues with YouTube. He expressed gratitude for their heartwarming support, which motivated him to continue creating content.
