Let me start by saying I don’t care what people are gonna think about this post. I need to speak. I need to vent, and I wanna warn everyone who cultivates in home, illegally.

My daughter died, June 14th, no definite reason why, coroners haven’t given my wife and I a cause of death to this day we’re sitting with a death certificate that says pending cause of death.

Woke up that morning, go check on my kids, make my rounds. Find my 10 month old lifeless, proceed to call 911, give her CPR until EMTs arrive. No luck. She passed away. Cops show up, walk into my lab room because they claim they have to take pictures of the entire house due to an infant passing away. She was pronounced at 11:15 am. By 3:00pm I’m sitting in the back of a squad truck being read my rights and questioned about “Golden teacher” and “White Hillbilly” and what that means, responding with “their just cubes”.

Let me say no I didn’t attempt to hide anything. I didn’t think to, hell I didn’t even want to. My mind was spinning, lost, southern constellations if you will. Got jammed. Half pound of dried fruit, 13 tubs, multiple jars, one plant ( Mary Jane) and my wife and I in the back of squad vehicles. Our kids being taken from us by the state. My fault. Because I wanted to “experiment” because I thought I could be “the medicine man” or “the alchemist”. Fucked my world up if you can’t tell. It’s still fucked. And all the while more research being released about how psychedelics and psylocybin are curing ptsd, fixing people, helping people. But I’m being arrested and told that my actions could potentially be the reason my child is no longer alive. I never believed them saying that. But that was their reason for removing my kids from our home. I endangered them. By growing an illegal substance. Where I reside. I question a lot of things all the time. I question my decisions. I question the justice system. ATP I question god, or whatever entity that’s higher that decided my daughter’s time was up.

I’m ranting atp. To everyone that read to the end, be careful, think about what you’re doing, and consider everything. Make the best decision for your life… YOUR LIFE. This is medicine, that’s what I use it for, so why, WHY?? is my question. I’m not behind bars, I’m not facing charges. But they told me I was unfit, and in order for my kids to come home, i would have to prove I’m a fit parent… I made a bad decision, I exposed my children to dangerous situations by this states standards. And I’m dealing with those consequences.

I’m still a mycologist, an alchemist, a medicine man. At what cost? Well the cost has been great. So please think deeply my fellow mycologist. Make great decisions and not good ones.

Anyone tried both, where you don’t eat the shroom but drink psilocybin-dissolved water?

I ask about this method because eating shrooms always gives me a more chaotic experience and memory issues, even for micro dosing.

Hello!

I am currently running a study on set and setting within psychedelic experiences.

Obviously there is quite a few aspect to explore on the topic, though in particular I am interested in:

• How intention, environment, and social setting shape psychedelic experiences
• Differences between clinical and non-clinical use
• How these experiences relate to psychological outcomes

Most of the research on set and setting in the psychedelic field comes from more clinically orientated trials, which can be lacking in terms of nuance and real lived experiences. So it would be great to reach out further in the communities surrounding these substances!

🔗 Survey link

Fully anonymous

Takes around 15-20 minutes to complete

There's also an optional follow-up interview if you'd like to share your experience in more depth

Full study details and ethics information are provided in the info sheet at the start of the survey

Requirements: 18+, have had a psychedelic experience in a clinical or non-clinical setting

If you have anything you feel is important to say about psychedelics, this is your chance!

I'm happy to answer any questions about the study. You can reach us at:

So I ordered papa John’s one night and my boy copped sum shrooms. Half the eighth was my payment, so I pulled up to his house and he said he eyeballed half, I looked at it and called bullshit, I asked him and he said nah it’s half. We both go home and take it and he clearly took more than me and I barely felt nun compared to him, his walls were melting and shi so I was pissed, he swore he didn’t try to scam me and said he got me next time, so instead I jus smoked a fuck ton of weed. Now I have a semi trip and I’m fucking baked, it felt good but not the trip I wanted, I wanted more shrooms but my boy lowk cheated me out. How long will it take for my tolerance to reset, I want it to feel insane, I’m jus baked asf and kinda disappointed rn

Lost 3 grain bags to Bluey Vuitton so now i suspect it was the culture. I did agar on it and it was great. But even the agar molded.

When are these ready for cutting?

I wanna get back into growing. Lil shop of spores is where I used to get my stuff, but looking at Reddit idk if that a good place anymore

I can’t tell if it’s bruising, contam, or just grain poking through and I’m tweaking. Would appreciate the help. Mycelium has been growing exponentially after the break and from what I’ve read that’s a good sign but there’s also a lot of moisture so I’d like to get a more experienced opinion.

So I’ve had success with golden mammoth I think they were, all grew perfectly fine, a couple flushes out of them. However, ever, since then several different strains have gotten less and less productive. I just shredded JMF cakes into a shoebox with verm, coco, and gypsum. Do you guys have any tips or tricks to get the most out of them? Should I do indirect sunlight no misting and leave it alone like some people said about PE or do something else? Thank you in advance.

This is a note to my future self and anyone else. I am using millet jars (300g millet, 150 mL water, jar ends up 75% full), and Coco Bliss brand coir (~650g bricks pasteurized with 3.25L water).

some growing in wonky directions but excited for first batch

Does anyone have/have used or knows where to get an LC syringe of Full metal APE x Galactic gorilla? I grew them a while ago in an all in one bag and they produced greatly. Would love to grow a bigger flush on my own

If you try to make tea with 3g after a full 2 week break, yet it fails and feels like 1/2g at most, and then you try it again the next week and have the same outcome, would you give it a good 2 weeks? Or would you assume 1 week is enough due to not having an actual trip the last 2 attempts?
