Man, I've been knowing 'bout Kombutcha tea and Mycology. Then again I was raised in Berkeley with a lot of hippies and natural health food stores.
It's no suprise that vital medicine is contained in plants herbs and fungus, this is wear all natives and later european pharma corps. extract their active ingredients. Nice video

this video is great! saw it a few months ago and i've been trying to get everyone i know to watch it

the humble fungus...who would've thunk it?

of course i do believe psilocybin mushrooms would also change the world pretty quickly if we all munched them...or at least the world's leaders :wink:

glad u all found this as fascinating as i did! truely quite a mysterious oranism...would not expect it to be as useful as it is, beyond a tastey pizza topping and a tastey mind fuck! lol. weather regula or magic...these could change the world quite dramatically. i found it particularly interesting in their ability as a pesticide...how he used them on ants in his house and the dramatic effect they had throughout the ants in his house.
allways been interested in psilocybin too....i never know if i'd have the balls to putmyself through such an ego kill...tho my growing interest in these kinds of psychedelics could lead me to one day experiment with such a trip. i've been reading up on Nutmeg having psychoactive properties when ingested at higher doses. really long lasting and unique trip that im really interested in trying one day!

nah man forget the nutmeg, go for the shrooms
much better reward without the body-load

i wouldn't be afraid of them, just respectful
try them in a safe, comfortable environment at a reasonable (to begin with) dose and you'll be fine

V sig check V

yeah comfy environment and easy does it. you don't need that much but eat to few. try and get a few ideas of the right dose and bam; what a nice night. funny thing about silly cybin is you can't do it all that much or it's just a waste. this is one that if you over do it (like every weekend) you'll hate it. very spiritual...

I know this doesn't have to do with Shrooms, but I found this vid to be quite funny. Let me now what you think.

That vid reminds me of the paper mpc60 some dude has on youtube. As for trying shrooms, always start with a little piece of a cap and a little piece of a stem since they have different components that contribute to the whole body/mind trip. If you took all caps or all stems it would be a different experience, after you've taken a small amount have some odwalla juice to coat and protect your stomach from feeling upset. Now smoke a joint or something and the effect of the shrooms will be slightly more noticeable, I would wait a while after that and get used to the feeling. By now you'll feel like you have a really strong weed high and now you can have a little more shrooms depending on how you feel. I'll usually end up taken around a 1/2 eighth total and that makes me hallucinate pretty well. When the ride really starts you'll feel some disassociation from your body and have a noticeable change in visual perception of the world around you. It's very important to be in good state of mind for at least a week straight before you take them and also be around friends you know and trust to help ground you a little when things get more interesting and lastly I highly recommend that your in nature.

You know I always heard heat kills psilocybin, but one time I said fuck it, threw 'em on a frozen pizza, cooked it up, ate that shit and tripped balls, so there you go. Chalk one up for science. =)

thats so cool. what a nice way to trip.
any one had any experience with other psychodelics...such as mescaline, dmt, dxm, salvia or 2c-b?

drewzle · Post by **drewzle** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:57 am

i haven't tried dxm

those others you listed all produce quite different experiences to each other
have you been to www.erowid.org ?
great info there

I've done dmt once and that was enough, as for mescaline I can go to the Native American church and take peyote since I'm enrolled in three tribes. Salvia never interested me and I don't know of DXM. 2c-b was created by Alexander Shulgin in his home chemistry lab just over the hill from Berkeley/Oakland. :lol:

I bet that dude was giggin' hella hard testing his compounds on himself.

lol...some interesting experiments that guy must carry out
dam...u know you psychedelics well. im suprised your not interested in salvia...i've heard a few responses/trip reports explaining how heavily spiritual the experience can be.
which have been your favorite of these drugs? this sort of stuff really fascinates me. if i were to try any phych/dissociative, it'd probly be Ket or Shrooms.

Euclid Ov Oåklånd · Post by **Euclid Ov Oåklånd** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 4:56 pm

I'd stay with shrooms, I've heard horror stories about ketamine from friends.
