Are you on anti-depressants?

SSRI's can reduce the effects of quite a few psychedelics.

Nah, the closest thing to anti-depressants would be the Sceletium tea which I drink on most days.
Could that be attributable to the non-existent "psychedelic" effects?
I must say that my mental state is a bit better now compared to last week (before dosing).
Maybe TBGHF somehow "inactivated" the "trippy" component similar to CBD vs THC... IDK I'm very much a mushy noob. :X3:

Pf-tek...everything is available locally. That's how I did my first grow. But really... 95% of grow methods you'll find the supplies locally.

Thanks... I've seen that "ag you'll find stuff locally" comment a few times on this thread, unfortunately it doesn't really help someone who has got no idea where to start or what's needed.
Imagine erasing every single thing that you know about shrooms, delete all your shroom experience, when you're at that point of knowledge deficit then mushrooms are not very self explanatory, it's like telling a small child to write a novel. I'm not suggesting that it's a difficult process, I'm sure that it's easy to cultivate, but the basic "know-how" is essentially the key to success, in my estimation.
Was really after local step-by-step grow guidance like (1) these are the components you need, (2) this is where to get them and (3) this is the cost.
I've since managed to muddle my way through some resources, piecing things together as I went along and (hopefully) have an idea on how to proceed now, I guess... :unsure:

THIS. IS. GOLD.
Even I can grasp & understand this. I am lost in all the shroom "lingo". BRF, shotgun fruiting chamber, cakes, flush, spores, veil..... o_O Say whaaaat??

Thank you, thank you, thank you. :thumbsup: I can follow that process. Will order a kit, hope to receive it before festive delivery madness.

P.S. How do you know when to "harvest" them? Saw someone said to harvest them "before they curl upwards"...??

Ja...I started in exactly the same position you're in now: Knowing nothing. Not sure why you need all this extra local info when all it takes is asking a few questions, going to visit a store or two. You're being a bit lazy. That link I posted:
http://www.fungifun.org/English/Pftek

Vermiculite & perlite at almost any nursery. Brown rice flour at dischem or any health food stores. Syringes - any chemist. Glasses - anywhere. I'm not drawing a map.

PF Tek is a technique to grow mushrooms, one of the easiest ways to get started. Just google PF Tek and look for videos.

Got it thanks, was asking in relation to the "watch let's grow mushrooms" portion of the post.
Wondering if it's in relation to THIS (or something else perhaps).

I don't want to setup a "grow lab", so not thousands, but I'll make the necessary investment if I can understand & make sense of what I'm spending on. Having a base that I can build on should I decide to dive deeper. So to establish this baseline, I'd say that R1000 is fair based on the local kits I saw online. Once again thanks so much to @Ancalagon :love:

I'm asking the questions here, based on the assumption that the experienced folks guide the newbies though... And I've now also had a chance to check the online stores too. Haven't had much free time to do alot of research, I'm a slow reader, but only need to read once (with clear understanding) then remember the content very well.
It's a lot of information and I'm not clear on how it all inter relates hence my questions, trying to make sense of it in my mind before pulling the trigger. I want to make sure that I get what I need first time round as well, nothing more and nothing less, if I can put it that way.

Based on the above, I went and got some capsules (60 X 2) from TBGHF. I've never ever had magic shrooms before, been researching them on and off for the past couple of years.

I've always wondered what it was like to see warped faces, intensified colours, fairies & gnomes tucked away in the shadows, geometric patterns, machine elves etc. Spoiler alert: None of this happened. :confused:

Thursday
No preparation. I tried 2 caps. ZERO effect.

Saturday
I fasted for 36 hours, got my set and setting perfectly sorted and took 8 caps. After 1.5 hours ZERO effect.
I slide another 8 caps open and emptied their contents into my cup of herbal tea. Waited another 1.5 hours with ZERO effect. Ended up having an edible and vaping some nugs which had the usual effects. Trusty cannabis FTW, never disappoints. I appreciate the canna blessings, however was (really) hoping for a new experience that day.

It's not easy or often that I manage to co-ordinate 8+ consecutive hours alone to my self for meditation & reflection. I reckon that TBGHF changed something or I have a bizarre tolerance. I spent time preparing set and setting just to have it "wasted", is a real bummer.

Next Saturday I'm just going to empty the remaining 40 capsules into some boiled water and lemon tek it for 15-20min.

Natural tolerance sucks!!!! :mad::mad::(

Any other practical suggestions to "get me there" with what I've got at my disposable will be highly appreciated. :notworthy::love:

(No silly remarks suggesting DMT, Salvia, LSD, Morning glory seeds, Syrian rue, Tide pods (etc) please, because obviously, and unfortunately I don't have access to those)

Today is the day. Freshly squeezed orange lemon tek with all the rest of the capsules.new_20211211_085324.jpgFingers crossed... Wish me luck.... :D:giggle::sneaky:
