The Shroom Thread

A friend told me about some place in Joburg that does ceremonies like that. You take a dose of mushrooms and they watch you.

With that being said.... bear in mind that some of the benefits of mushrooms could be likened to accelerated therapy.

Let me explain. Mushrooms don't magically fix YOU. Mushrooms give you the tools to make changes to your life faster. Mushrooms give you that deep introspective state where issues you have long buried come to the surface, and you can deal with them. Or at least, realise that you have to deal with them.

Yes, they are to an extent happy pills. Because of the effects they have on your brain, they can make you feel better. But their best and longest lasting effects come from making you see yourself differently.

So, don't think that mushrooms are a magic bullet that will make your problems go away. They might just change your perspective on your problems. They also aren't the ONLY way to make a breakthrough - you can get there by therapy and meditation.

I think mushrooms have the potential for great benefit in dealing with personal issues, or encouraging personal growth, but you have to see them for what they are - a complement to what you are doing, not a replacement.

If your therapist just talks, then find a new one. Some are better than others. A lot depends upon the bond between you and your therapist.

You also have to "take the power back". Start being in charge of your own recovery. Start reading up about things you can do. Meditation is a big help, as is understanding of mental health and your own particular situation. Doing that work will make it possible for you to integrate what you learn by doing mushrooms.

Are you looking at buying spores or what? I've never seen a local supplier selling both and honestly I don't think it really matters if it's just for consumption. For growing it might have slightly different characteristic that lend itself more to a particular tek but I dunno - have never looked into it or heard of the homestead variety before.
 
If it is just a Cubensis, there might be minor variations in the size and shape of the mushrooms. Not much difference in terms of strength, with the possible exception of penis envy, which is reputed to be stronger. It will very likely be a cubensis because those are the most popular and most grown.
 
Basically is it safe to receive shrooms with DHL etc if it's local? Jhb to Pretoria for eg

Is it not hard as fek(I will need to research it more tbh) ? Also getting some cbd cream for my eczema or whatever happens under my armpits this time of year. Just asking because this is getting delivered to my work. I don't think it should be any problem Just the inner paranoia I guess.

Local shroom & weed deliveries are fine. There's also local suppliers of spores and growing your own shrooms using pf tek is about as difficult as baking a cake.
 
Also bear in mind that in most countries (but check for SA), possessing spores is legal because they aren't psychoactive. You can have all the spores you want, but spores alone will not do anything to you, you need to grow them into mushrooms.

This is why the UK has shops that openly sell spores - its completely legal. Its what you do with them that makes them illegal.

Not sure if SA is the same, but it probably is.

Shipping anything domestically is usually fine - cops don't seem to bother inspecting packages being sent domestically.
