Be prepared. It's not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Edit: I might just move this whole segment to the recreational drug thread

Mushrooms are pretty easy to grow *cough* not that I'd know *cough* shroomery.org :P

Very true. You can even get step-by-step instructional videos.
You can get grow kits on the web or make them yourself. And spors over the web too.
I've always wanted to do it, but never got around to it.

I've done it once, but it is probably easier and less time consuming to find them wild.

I dunno... it's hard to find them now. Wild picking was my main source from around '97 to 2001, then after that cow farmers either got savvy, or the popular peripheral feed/licks cow farmers give cows to prevent bacterial growth in their stomachs changed around that time and apparently affected the favorable conditions in a cow's stomach. You can even go to the ultimate sticks in Louisiana and find bare fields, which were once daily mushroom heavens.

Apart from cow fields, I don't know where you can find them just naturally growing, as the conditions for them to develop to the fruiting stage needs to happen in a pretty specific environment and be totally sterile.

Yeah, for me it was more of '01-04 while I was in high school. We had well known fields to find ounces in a matter of minutes. I heard they were giving the cows feed with citric acid to knock out the cubes. I have a few plants growing out in the sticks and it is quite a hike. There are a few pastures on the way and that's my main source these days. Its a walk I have to take quite often and I usually find about a gram a week just along the path. I give a lot away but have about an ounce dried and stored right now.

On another note, I sampled my first bud from my sativa. I haven't smoked since April. I got wrecked.

It can be, but you don't want to tkae the mushroom too lightly. God, I know I am about to sound like worthless hippy trash BUT if you're gonna grow and consume psilocybin cubensis, be aware that you need to respect the substance or it WILL eff you in the A. I had my first bad trip a few nights ago and it was the worst/best experience of my life. Wonderful and absolutely horrifying. I had about an eighth but then decided to eat several aborts which contain the same amount of psilocybin as a full grown fruit. I probably had the equivalence of 5-6 grams. It was the epitome of a bad trip (or at least what everyone hypes it up to be) if hell is real, I am certain I glimpsed it for 2 hours crying in a ball on the bathroom floor. Full on open and closed eye hallucinations. Coming down, though I had fun For me, smaller doses are a blast. Small piece of advice: if you're ever in the situation I was (ie. Tripping BALLS), DO NOT, No matter how curious you are, look at your reflection in the mirror. I knew it was a bad idea, but I did it anyway and the anxiety increased exponentially. It's quite unsettling to watch your face morph and melt off, when you're that far gone.

Haha... Very good advice.

When I lived in Oregon, I was able to identify Cubensis and Azraels growing a mile away (well, not even a mile away, they would grow in people's yards under the right conditions.) There is nothing quite as amazing as fresh psilocybin. But yes, not the best party drug.

[Spike*Spiegel]

Haha, it wasn't a party. I was watching Speed Racer in my apartment with my boyfriend and it just became too much. Negative thought loops are bad, heh. It's funny, though, because even as I was coming down, I was laughing at how ridiculous the whole situation became. At one point I guess I looked up at my boyfriend and told him, "It's like when you eat turkey.." and commenced to throw up :P

[debaserr]

i am a bit of a pansy when it comes to mushroom dosing. i haven't ever done more than 2.5 grams. i think i would be up to try a full eighth now.
