How much do you pay and for what type?

i never have to pay for mushies, there is an abundance of mushrooms (liberty caps/Psilocybe semilanceata) grow here in the autumn and i've been picking every year since 1993, last year was one of the best and longest season yet probably because the summer was so shit and wet, there were still shrooms coming up at xmas!

i think this year could be very good aswell

Best thread title ever!

such friends, the way you are talking - it almost seems like you are suggesting
that mushrooms take you to a different reality that always exists. as in the power they have is to unlock a state of mind that is always present. Most people instead think its just making the reality you inhabit now feel different.

i would agree with you if this is what you are suggesting. i believe that all different states of reality exist simultaenously and by ingesting shrooms or whatever we simply unlock the door to them. a bit like changing the resolution on yr computer monitor only in your mind.

If humanity got to a state where shrooms became a part of our diet permanently and our brains eventually evolved to accomodate this then the laws of physics written would prob include explanations for monstors coming out the tv screen, or whatever trippy shit becomes the norm.

Shrooms are both a drug and a power. The more people take them, the more time humans spend on them, then the more their power becomes a part of society. However at the moment since they are taken by so few the reality of shrooms is limited in the potentials it can offer to deal with a generally non tripping society.

All power corrupts of course.

Oh for crying out loud, when you start beleiving psychedelic drugs are keys to unlock doors to alternative realities there is only one clear message to heed: STOP TAKING PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS!

yes, that is exactly I am saying. these things can be easily explained by current astrological cosmologies and deep equations of string theory, which suggest and almost demand the existence of alternate and parallel universes/dimensions that exist concurrently within each other. The chemicals in the fungus, once ingested and metabolized shift the focus of consciousness towards the perception of these alternate dimensions of existence. Further, you need not any substance to do this, rather any kind of meditation, prayer and even day dream can achieve this level of higher consciousness.

yes, if you are referring to synthetics like LSD-25, MDMA, or PCP.

However, Daturas, certain mushrooms, a mescaline cacti, DMT, and hundreds of other hallucinogenic plants are all naturally occurring, in fact, your brain already produces low quantities of DMT for a yet unknown purpose, the same way it produces THC and morphine as endorphins and endocannibinoids

I accept that these naturally occuring chemicals can alter the consciousness of the human mind to enhance perception.

so what are you in doubt:

a) the existence of these alternate dimensions of existence

and/or

b) the ability of certain plants to alter consciousness and allow perception of these said dimensions

c) the ability at all to perceive this universe, by any means?

^^^ I'm about reposting statements I agree with in large bold text when all other rep means fail. :)


and.....hi. I used to grow psilocybe cubensis in petri dishes (note to DEA agents following Mr. Dangerous: over 9000 years ago). had they indeed held power, I would be fucking Dr. Doom by now.

My definition of a drug:
something you sniff, shoot, inhale, or inject, suck on, let in through your pores, eat, or insert into your butt that affects someone's mind/nerves OR acts as a catalyst for a bodily function- pooping, antibody creation, etc OR alters your levels of bodily chemicals OR affects your blood pressure/heart rate OR rids or helps rid your body of an alien presence.

I think shrooms fit under my definition.

yes, I am sure the bag-o-wire are all around, but DEA is a bit high ranking for little ol me. so could I put you down for agreeing with A, B and C then?

Bag-O-Wire in Websters

and now for the real definition: bag-o-wire is the name given to the three FBI informants who sold out Marcus Garvey to a young Mr. J. Edgar Hoover. today it remains slang for any agent or informant

FBI reports on marcus Garvey

things within my definition of a drug fit that list, but for I-man

drug= synthetic

there are chemicals in an apple that can affect heart rate or mood but we do not think of fruit as being psychotropic..

Okay, then cannabis is not a drug either, nor is cocaine, etc.
