Psychedelics are the future of mental health and even just human wellness.

Psilocybin is a powerful medicine that can be used for wellness, therapy and recreation. It is non-addictive and non-body toxic. It is utterly absurd that it is a Schedule 1 narcotic

LSD - pretty much the same commentary, although it can be more of an isolating medicine.

DMT/5meo-DMT - not for the faint of heart, but the latter is perhaps the most powerful medicine of all

Mescaline - very grounding, powerful medicine.

Ayahuasca - not for the faint of heart, but has its place

Iboga - potentially, the most complete of all these medicines. Crazy that it's illegal.

With all psychedelics, it comes down to set, setting and intentions. If those are curated properly, you are very unlikely to have a "bad" trip. Challenging trips, yes. But those are likely the most valuable.

You sure… because I’m pretty sure they show up as psilocybin on a drug test


Yes I am sure. I have NEVER seen it on a drug panel that was used by employer and NEVER seen it as an available test in ANY lab I have been in.

They CAN test it with liquid chromatography and a mass spec but only large reference labs and research labs usually have the equipment to do it and fewer are validated to run and report the results.

They test for Psilocin which is a metabolite of Psilocybin. Same way they test for THC-COOH and not Hydroxy-THC the actual substance in weed. Funny, your body turns "legal" THC and "illegal" THC both into THC-COOH. Psilocin is out of your system in hours, like 4-6 hours. Psilocybin MIGHT be detectable for 24 hours but I don't know of a lab testing for it. I checked my regular reference lab databases and can only find Psilocin tests, and its very few labs that do that.

How do you deal with taste?


First few times I ate them I piled them onto crackers with hot sauce.

Don’t like the chocolates. Way too rich. Plain washed down with beer is usually how I do it now. The shitty flavor is worth it

Curious, what are these bad moments like?


The only time I had a bad trip was when I took some and didn’t really feel anything then spent the whole night pissed I got ripped off.

Other than that it’s been good.

this.

I went with friends (we'd all consumed mushroom lemonade together) to see The Exorcist together. That was really just incredibly intense and immersive. That evening, when I was asleep, my bed started shaking and I was freaked out! My heart was racing! Then, I slowly came to the realization that my mom's poodle had come into my room and was on the bed, furiously scratching her ears.

Was quite trippy in the moment, though.

As to the cow poop, had friends who used to scour the poop in the field at our farm for shrooms. Apparently cow poop grows the best shrooms.

It doesn't. If you were to collect poop for a mushroom grow, almost everyone would say use horse. I would recommend to use coco, vermiculite, gypsum, and grain though

I have no problem with people getting high on shrooms, though I have no desire to do so myself.

But I will mention this news article from today:

quote:

QUNICY, Wash. (AP) — The man accused of fatally shooting two people and wounding several others at a Washington music festival Saturday told police he was high on psychedelic mushrooms and believed the world was ending, according to court documents.

U.S. Army Spc. James Kelly, of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, is facing two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault and domestic violence assault in Washington state’s Grant County Superior Court,

Politicians on both sides are too chicken shite to really do anything about it. They have passively enabled and watched big pharma get half the country hooked on opiates and happy pills, yet they are too cowardly to legalize things that have the capabilities to change someone's life that is suffering.

I think that might make it worse for me.

I grew 1 batch, dehydrated them slowly, and tried a few different ways. Koolaid and pizza topping worked best for me but i still struggled. Probably more of a texture mental block.


Easy fix for this is to grind them into a fine powder, and place in capsules by weight.

Works awesome.

The starter pack is $100 and has 4 super doses in it. Has anyone used these people before? Curious as the validity, purity, etc.
