They were legal when I was young ....1974
Trespassing to get them was not
I picked a bunch once ..for research
I noticed the farmer near my yellow MGBGT
And then I heard a shotgun blast.....about a half mile away in a cow pasture
Baldwin County Alabama near Robertsdale
We grabbed our bags of shrooms and ran back towards the sound of gunfire just like the cosmic recon Rangers we were...lol
We noticed the truck drive off
I got there and farmer or whomever had blasted my aftermarket AC under the dash on passengers side into pieces with #6 looked like
I had a girl and a pal with me....she was like at least it was just the car...
I thought yeah but it’s my car..
I’d already gobbled a couple of fresh 3 inch diameter caps down so i was already launched anyhow
Truth is most farmers didn’t care... I had one in Madison county Mississippi who I’d stop at the house and bring some PBR and chat with and he would even tell us where he’d seen a bunch on his pastures that day...he was more flummoxed that we ate something that grew in a cow patty then that we were trippers
.
Fresh ones dry up quick...
Man in those days if got up in the 70s in the Deep South they would pop up even in January..
Now you can’t find wild grown ..
The fungicide in cattle feed kills them....people grow them though....200-300 an ounce
Dry shrooms ain’t the same...
Nothing is anymore...
I don’t recommend them to the average person....though unlike LSD they play out in 7-8 hours no matter how many you eat..
But they can be very intense ....
I once watched my arm disappear...for research purposes.
Dog, hey dog. Did you see the size of that chicken?
It’s legal to sell the spores. So I mail ordered a syringe full and a couple of grow bags. Put them in a warm dark place and within a month mycelium had spread thru the entire substrate in the bags. Then one bright sunny morning I took the bags outside, opened them up and shocked them with sunshine. Boom. Nature is amazing. Naturally this was all done for research purposes.
Hey! My first car (that daddy bought me at 16) (spoiled but not bratty) (he was a Holocaust survivor and he was thrilled his kids had it so nice contrasted with his childhood) was a used MG Midget. I was in love with that car. (I figured out later why he bought it. Ain’t no one anywhere ever had sex in one. Impossible. Lol.). Racing orange-red. Driving the canyons without using the brake unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.... good times.
Also the last time I did shrooms was at a wedding to a friend who was marrying an Asian Mormon girl. It was at a Westwood hotel with a red banquet room. And those hideous red walls were breathing, and closing in on me.... Had to get right out of there. Lol.
Saw a famous drug researcher on the rogan show talk about microdosing psilocybin mushrooms in silicon valley. coders take doses that are too low to alter their conscious mind but the mushrooms over time create more connections in their minds. Their coding improves.
He also said the FDA is getting closer to reclassifying psilocybin mushrooms from class 1 drug that’s prohibited to a class 2 drug that can be used for medicinal purposes.
