As soon as it kicks in, I'm growing pounds of psilocybin to give away. At least five colonies in a constant rotation. :vot

    I've become extremely wary of gifting DMT now for a similar reason - there's no physical danger, but it's so extremely intense an experience it can easily give you PTSD depending on set & setting / buried trauma.

    Shrooms though, I'm fine with too.

      Tbh I had a much more intense experience taking an 8th of shrooms than my 2 DMT trips. I had to take a benzo with the shrooms at one point because i was spiraling

        Believe me, you likely didn't breakthrough; I find the term slightly overhyped but there is a threshold where you're simply somewhere else at some point.

        With that being said, with very large doses shrooms do tend to be just as intense, of course; and it's been called "orally available DMT" for that reason IIRC, I think by Nick Sand. So who knows.

          You're right, I didn't break through on dmt. Since then I haven't really had the ability to source or really the want to source. I haven't done psychedelics in like 6 or 7 years and am a little afraid to get back into it lol

            I'm taking DMT (at this point for purposes I'd describe as spiritual) semi-regularly and I'm slightly shaking in fear before doing it every time.

            I haven’t done psychedelics in like 6 or 7 years

            If ever you feel the want (which might be never), it really is easy to extract. It's in fact much easier to source by yourself than, say, shrooms - I still shudder about my bacterial monotubs before I started having some success growing those.

              I actually have a connect to get shrooms if I wanted at pretty much any time even though I haven't used it, so if I went back in that direction I would probably go for shrooms

                Fair enough; mind you, if you're ever looking for a fun hobby, shroom growing is fascinating. Doesn't have to be psych ones, even growing edible ones is neat.

                  While I'm going to do Psilocybe cubenesis workshops once this comes into effect, it's only because I want to create a rhizomatic outgrowth of gift giving for intentionally therapeutic use. The culinary mushrooms are where I see the real radical value of teaching fungiculture. It's a kind of easy gardening people can do indoors with a very healthy product grown on waste that replaces meat and sells for a high premium. There's a lot of potential in healing the separation of town and country if culinary fungiculture becomes more widespread and people with limited space can take an active role in their food production with purely local inputs.
