Mushrooms - DIY, spores, etc 🍄 (Part 1)

I saved myself some liquid culture before going off on a work trip. PinkBuffalo started nice and easy, being germinated in a well diluted honey+water solution, but GT’s and Albino’s were thin as smoke wisps. Apparently that’s because I got greedy with honey and added too much. Right before going off to work trip I bought some distilled water and diluted jars with GT and Albino a bit more. Can’t wait to get back to them to see the results.

I really need to get some spores next cycle, because I’m running thin on prints.

This has been a great thread to follow. The last time I did any hallucinogens was in early adulthood, about 20 years ago. I’m interested in getting prints from somewhere and using the instruction here to fruit a few shrooms. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? :stuck_out_tongue: Willing to trade some beans for cube spores. :briefcase:

This interview was super encouraging, and it’s worth a very close listen as he basically summarizes the state of medical research about psychedelics and shares a bunch of personal anecdotes he did while researching the book.

I listened to the whole thing, more or less, and couldn’t help but cry a stingy male tears.
Why is that in one country there is full-blown legalize going on, and researches of psychedelics in an unbiased, open-minded fashion, and in other countries, well, you know. A total hopelessness about all that.

Why is that I’m forced to remain silent about my own researches and findings, while some other guy gets a bloody HOUR-LONG INTERVIEW about his opinion on psilocybin therapy and it’s benefits?

I can’t even share my experience with family, my own blood, for they will ostracize me, never ever getting to the fact that I want to help them. My father, for instance, would benefit from a few good mushroom sessions, since he is simultaneously having no will to live on and great fear of death, like half the bloody population over 60 years here!

It’s a shoutout, I really can’t express myself enough to anyone around me right now.

And we, who know the effects of psilocybin and “been there”, are mostly restricted from one another by fear of criminal charges!

Mental health is in short supply here. I don’t support any conspiracy theories, but it seems like everyone is content with the system where the society fills the young heads with truly dreadful biases and contradictions, forcing their eyes to perceive the world as an fighting arena, where you eat another or being eaten. Then it flips that heads to work for a two or three decades, all the while dulling the sense of “something isn’t right” with only allowed drug - alcohol, and then it just spits them out - broken, used, deprived of power, unable even to hope - I see them in hundreds every day, and my heart goes out for them. But then I know if I can’t even help my father, who’s been thought that maw of darkness, I can’t help any of them.

@nube if you don’t find any here, freespore.com offers free spores (and seeds of all types, cannabis/tobacco/poppy etc) just have to pay for shipping, i think additional donations are voluntary but not required.

their home page says they are running low on prints and soon won’t be able to continue, if anyone is feeling charitable :slight_smile:
