I am wretching as we speak. I'm so sad and mad at myself... I always lemon tek... I don't know why I decided to half ass chew my dried PE. I knew something was wrong QUICK and it has not stopped!
Ginger, chicken stock, forced vomit numerous times, nothing is stopping this insane nausea. I'm completely sober now and just sad :(
Is this just the unfortunate outcome I have to get through, or is something majorly wrong?
thanks for an answer
Not sure if mold. Forgot about a grow bag for a few months and she looks like this. Was waiting to open after the whole bag was white like institutions say... I'm new to this, sorry 😅
I would love to get people's thoughts on this topic. From what I have gathered, the age limit for psychedelic use (most people advocating for use after the age of 25) is pushed for mainly for ethical reasons and anecdotal evidence.
The bulk of research behind the neurological effects of psilocybin seem to contradict the popular belief that psilocybin use harms brain development. Science instead seems to say that neural plasticity is increased, neural protection to oxidation and aging is increased, and even evidence for actual brain GROWTH? It is obviously incredibly unethical to research this because it would involve administering drugs to minors and observing the effects and thus causing skepticism for people to advocate for use of psilocybin for people younger than the age of 25.
However, there are cultures that give mushrooms and ayahuasca to their children/adolescents and that it is significant for their growth into adulthood. The research we do have seems to SUPPORT this?
Obviously, the psychedelic experience is one of profound intensity and most definitely requires maturity, but why should use among younger users be looked down upon if used properly and if the benefits seem to greatly outweigh the downsides?
I would love people's thoughts on this topic please
EDIT: This is purely for discussion about the topic and I am looking for good reasons to dissuade younger people from use and to wait!
found a bunch of these and picked them just in case, sadly they mostly got squished in my pocket and lost their shape a little. would love to learn what they are for next time :)
Any you can think of or is it pretty safe
hey y'all, I'm new here but I was wondering if y'all had any tips on harm reduction. my friend took 5g of shrooms before going to a bar last night and we ended up having to call an ambulance for him because he had a really bad trip. at one point he even accidentally wrestled me to the ground because he was so freaked out. does anyone have advice for people who want to help when their friends have bad trips?
I have not had any Psilocybin in a couple of years, due to the fact they make things come to light I do not want to deal with. But I decided I have to honor my shadow, my buddy, the orange light of my life and I can't explain but it brings the grief around in a good way. I realize now I NEED this tool back in my life.
sorry to ramble, but did Psilocybin help with grief for anyone out there?
I'm using a monotub that came with a bag of substrate and a bag of vermiculite. My question is: when does the vermiculite come into play and how?
I am seeing some mycelium but not in any great quantity and it has been three weeks. When is it time to shut down the experiment and try again?
I've read the studies from the last few years about using psilocybin for depression treatment. I have pretty severe depression and multiple attempts to treat it have all failed.
I'm thinking of going to Vancouver to try psilocybin. I've never used it, or any other non-prescription drugs, before. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone who can go with me. The studies mostly seem to use very high doses to cause "ego death" for a lasting effect. I don't think this would be safe for me.
I'm thinking of trying a low dose of around 1g and just trying to stay in a hotel listening to music while it's active. Does this sound doable for a first-timer?
Here’s sone of our BST.
They are Golden Teachers I renamed. Why? They are BS to grow.
Golden teachers have always been a breeze to grow, these have been super fussy. So fussy I’ve taken them out of production.
We harvest early because if we sell whole mushrooms they need to fit in our bottles.
I ate around 8g of mushrooms my first time and felt zero effect after hours of waiting, I am wondering if this could have happened because I take 54mg of methylphenidate every morning for adhd and maybe it blocked the psilocybin?
Day four.
Found them in cow field
Hi I am just looking for someone to help me figure out how to cultivate mushrooms for the first time I am very new to this so any information helps. If anyone has a step by step guide they would like to share that would be amazing.
I have a small GT grow going but I unexpectedly need to leave town for a week, such that I don’t even have time to dehydrate. If I froze some fresh/wet shrooms, would they lose any potency, or could I thaw them and take them wet when I got back from my trip? There is probably only about 100g to harvest, but I hate to let them go to waste, especially considering I’m going to lose the rest of the potential harvest because I need to travel.
How long do you guys and gals dry your mushrooms for in a dehydrator and what temperature?
I am wondering how long the mushrooms will retain their potency in the drive State and if I should take other modes of storage
