Ross Heaven writes that one larger mushroom (3-4cm) or 2-3 small ones is enough to produce a gentle shift in consciousness by rolling it into a ball and swallowing it whole, without chewing. Three Amanitas are considered the proper ritual dose (in both the Rig Veda and by Siberian shamans today). Once ingested, the narcotic effects are usually felt within 30 minutes, and the full effect is usually felt within 3 hours and lasts 4-8 hours depending on dose. According to some shamanic traditions, it is safer to ceremonially prepare these mushrooms by cutting them into thin strips, then boiling the strips in milk for at least 30 minutes - then the liquid is drunk and the strips eaten.

Israel Bans Cat Declawing: Will U.S. Follow? by Megan Drake

Punishment consists of up to one year in prison and a fine of 75,000 shekels (a little more than $20,000.). Other countries that outlaw declawing or consider it inhumane are:

Australia
Brazil
United Kingdom
Finland
Estonia
Netherlands
Germany
