will i be good?

bought a 3.5 a few days ago, i haven't done shrooms since I was probably 15 but i am quite familiar with the experience. Just wanted to kinda do a hard reset this weekend but with work and school I only have sundays off (not next Sunday tho) so tonight is my only good chance for a while to trip with a day after to recover. only issue is I ate some chicken strips for lunch around 11:30am, and I've heard that friend food on the same day as shrooms isn't a great idea. if I fast until around 6/7pm then eat the eighth, will the food in my stomache be an issue

Aggressive TAT mycelium running a 1st flush before the spawn is even fully colonized.

The First generation of this mycelium out 40g of wet fruit inside the spawn jars. So basically the 1st flush (after spawning to bulk) was actually the second flush.

Depth Perception Be Gone

Last Friday night I took 4g of SV10 set in chocolate and as I thought I was getting a grip on the trip I tried to go to the bathroom and when I got off of the sofa everything was shorter, even me and my legs were like tree trunks. Never had my depth perception altered before but it had me LOL until I made it back to my safe sofa. A little later I got up again and everything was super skinny. I swear just when I think I have seen it all these little gifts from the heavens blow my mind again. Anyone else ever felt this before?

(Dry) wet shrooms

I home grew some pale riders (golden teacher strain). They grew at the beginning of January, which I tripped the first week January.

I did not take/touch the remainder of the bag since the first week of January.

I checked today, and the shroom I pulled is light and hard and feels like it is a dried shroom.

Are these safe to eat?

What dose to you like to have while watching media on shrooms?

Going to have some GT with Planet Earth II this afternoon and was wondering how much people suggest to have? Last time I tried to watch a movie (Tales from EarthSea) I couldn't focus on it at all lol not even visually but I can't remember how much I had.

Reishi Tincture - is it any good ?

Anyone noticed any benefits or issues / side effects from taking reishi tincture? What did you experience when taking it or did you have no difference ? I been putting one full dropper into warm water with lemon. I’ve only been taking it for the last couple days. Anyone had experience with it ? Should I be taking it daily ?

The one I take has 30% organic cane ethanol, spring water and reishi but I’m hoping because I add it to boiled warm water that some of the ethanol is evaporated?

The ratio is 1:3 (that’s what it says on the bottle)

Ok to mix up or should I wait longer?

Hi! This is my first time growing. I inoculated 3 weeks ago. Should I wait for there to be more white before I shake up the bag or do y’all think it’s ok to mix? Also on the left hand side there is a section that is a little darker, I’m hoping it’s not contam. I guess just looking for confirmation that it’s not that. Thank you!

Eating before my trip or not to eat before my trip?

I’ve done shrooms plenty of times, but haven’t done them in about 2 or 3 years. I’m going to b tripping soon, in like an hour. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy in April of 2024, but I am taking anti seizure medication and have a rescue medication. I have really bad memory issues due to my Epilepsy and I can’t remember if you’re supposed to eat before your trip or not lol I can’t remember what I’ve done in the past due to my certain type of Epilepsy disorders. My brain has been heavily impacted by them. Several of my doctors have suggested microdosing & I’ve always done an eighth by myself. The last time I did them, I tripped for like 6-8 hours. It was insane lol I did Penis Envy’s, when I usually do Golden Teachers. It hit me so incredibly hard and fast, I felt like the peak just kept coming and coming, but also staying leveled, and then moving to the next level. So I obviously won’t b doing that much today. Anyways, I was just wondering if I should eat before or not? I have hypoglycemia and haven’t eaten all day, bc for some reason, I thought the trip is stronger when you don’t eat. Is this true? I genuinely have a hard memory from the seizures and my Epilepsy, so I simply cannot remember. I do have a trip sitter today, since I do have an Epilepsy diagnosis. Should I eat or should I not eat? I was thinking about making a banana smoothie with vanilla pea protein, with almond milk. Let me know, thanks! It’s 2:05 pm where I’m located and I’m thinking about starting them at 3:00 or 3:30. I’ll b tripping on Penis Envy’s today.

Weed after shrooms

I don’t mean when you’re smoking during the comedown. I mean you unlock weed, then you unlock shrooms. When you go back to weed it seems more…relaxing?, just overall more “sensational”. When I scroll, type on my phone has tracers. Maybe it was just the weed hitting me but it never affected me visually until I took shrooms. It’s like when goku became super saiyan, his base form also became stronger. I sometimes feel “waves”, shroom users know what I mean. I’ve had 2 while typing this and I’m only high.

How you can help legalization efforts

How to Help Legalize Psilocybin (Without Doing a Ton of Work)

Alright, let’s be real—most people don’t have the time, money, or energy to be full-time activists. That’s fine. The good news? Even if you’re lazy, broke, or just don’t care that much, you can still help push psilocybin reform forward.

Psilocybin (the active stuff in “magic mushrooms”) is proving to be a game-changer for mental health, but it’s still illegal in most places. The goal is to decriminalize, medicalize, and eventually legalize it. Here’s how you can help—whether you wanna go all-in or just do the bare minimum.

Step 1: Decriminalization – Stop Arresting People for Mushrooms

Right now, in most states, if you get caught with psilocybin—even just a small amount—you can be fined, arrested, or even jailed. Decriminalization would mean no more criminal charges for simple possession. Places like Denver, Oakland, and Washington, D.C. have already done it, and guess what? Society didn’t collapse.

What You Can Do: • Contact Local Officials – You don’t need to write a long essay. Just send a quick email or call your local reps. Tell them you support decriminalization. Find them here: Find Your Elected Officials • Sign Petitions – Takes like 30 seconds. Just add your name: • Change.org Psychedelic Reform Petitions • Decriminalize Nature Petitions • Put Up Flyers – Print out simple flyers with facts about psilocybin and tape ’em up around town (coffee shops, college campuses, light poles—whatever). Keep it basic and to the point. • Talk About It – Seriously, just talking about it helps. Bring it up in convo, post about it on social media, or share articles when you see ‘em. • Use Your Vote – If there’s ever a psilocybin-related bill on the ballot, vote YES. If a candidate supports decriminalization, support them.

Step 2: Medical Use – Getting Psilocybin Into Therapy

Researchers at places like Johns Hopkins and NYU have been running studies on psilocybin, and the results are insane. It’s helping people with depression, PTSD, addiction, and even anxiety in terminally ill patients. The next step is making it legal for medical use, like how cannabis became available for patients before it was fully legalized.

What You Can Do: • Share The Science – A lot of people still think psilocybin is just some hippie nonsense. Show them the legit research: • Johns Hopkins Psychedelic Research • MAPS (Psychedelic Studies) • Usona Institute Research • Write to Your State Reps – Tell them you support medical psilocybin programs. It takes 2 mins: Find Your State Legislators • Support Oregon & Colorado’s Programs – These states already allow psilocybin therapy. The more successful these programs are, the more other states will follow. Spread awareness so people who need it can actually use it: • Oregon Psilocybin Services • Colorado Natural Medicine Health Act • Join a Study – Some places are still recruiting volunteers for psilocybin research. If you qualify, you could be part of the movement firsthand: • Clinical Trials (Search “Psilocybin”)

Step 3: Full Legalization – Making Psilocybin Available Like Cannabis

Full legalization would mean psilocybin is regulated, taxed, and sold like cannabis in legal states. That means safer products, education, and economic benefits (instead of criminal charges and shady underground markets).

What You Can Do: • Follow the Money – Big Pharma and alcohol companies don’t want psychedelics legalized because they know it’ll cut into their profits. Pay attention to who’s funding anti-psychedelic campaigns and call them out. • Support Legalization Efforts in Your State – If there’s ever a push to get psilocybin on the ballot, sign the petitions and spread the word. Check for updates here: • Psychedelic Science Policy Tracker • Get Merch That Supports the Cause – T-shirts, stickers, posters—whatever. Even wearing a “Legalize Psilocybin” shirt can spark conversation. • Keep Talking About It – People forget stuff fast. The more psilocybin stays in public conversations, the harder it is for lawmakers to ignore.

Lazy? Broke? Busy? You Can Still Help.

Not everyone wants to go to rallies or write long emails. Here’s some low-effort stuff you can do:

Follow & Share Social Media Accounts – It’s literally just clicking a button. Some good ones: • DecriminalizeNature • MAPS • PsychedelicAlpha

Change Your Profile Pic or Banner – Use pro-psychedelic images to show support without saying a word.

Use Word of Mouth – Just casually mention psilocybin research in convos. You’d be surprised how many people don’t know the facts.

Drop Comments on News Articles – If you see a news story about psychedelics, leave a comment supporting legalization. Public opinion matters.

Sign & Share Petitions – Takes 10 seconds. Do it while you’re on the toilet.

The Bottom Line

You don’t have to be a hardcore activist to help psilocybin reform. Even small things—signing petitions, sharing articles, or just talking about it—can make a real difference.

Legalization doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen when enough people push for it. So pick something from this list, do it today, and help make psilocybin more accessible for those who need it.

How long do shrooms last?

Now I know this isn’t a super straightforward question but I’m in a state where shrooms aren’t legal and I’m wanting to buy some and I know where I can get them but realistically how long is the shelflife of some shrooms kept inna plastic bag? Say around 7.5 gs

Second Flush - Is this contaminated?

This is my first time, and I had a pretty successful first flush. Once I picked the flush, I let humidity build back up in my monotube, and it started pretty well. Then, it seems, there were lots of aborts. Now, I'm unsure if there is contamination in the tub, and I wanted the community's opinion.
