Another plant family rich in tropanes is the Erythroxylaceae which includes Coca (Erythroxylaceae coca) the major source of cocaine.

My knowledge level is what I refer to as "I know enough to be dangerous". 

I made a Datura salve (sample size) from Datura seeds that were gifted to me.  6 week cold infusion and 3 hours on low heat.  I don’t find my infusion to be potent enough for analgesic or inflammation.  Enter Amanita Regalis.  Which I found and dried this summer.  Intension unknown.

So now I’m wondering, can I successfully add the mushroom to my remaining oil and infuse for another 6 weeks?  I think so.  BUT does the Amanita Regalis have the correct properties. ??

I asked this question in The Poisoners Apothecary Discussion Group, they could not tell me.

Also the Amanita Muscaria Science and Magic group.  Not only could they not tell me but they near panicked when I said I was adding it to a Datura infusion.
