I just want to know where all the shroomers are now? very few people at least around here seem go for them anymore.
They are a great experience so why aren't they more popular? ya their are other good stuff out their but seriously shrooms are dam good too.
 
I want to know why mescaline has fallen out of popularity since the 60s. It's one of the classic three, so why do so few people use it now?
 
Shrooms? Because they're a pain to grow your self (certainly, from my friends' experience, it is not economically rewarding, even with the crazy prices of shrooms in this area), so they're only in common use where they can be picked from the wild. Nowadays, people are getting 4-AcO-DMT instead (I mean, it's what i'd do - cost per dose 1/10th that of shrooms, and you can store it long term, and either way, it's a psilocin prodrug), others are just buying acid, because it's more available.

Mescaline? Mescaline containing cacti are readily available, consumption limited by their cost and the fact that you need to drink nauseating slime. Synthetic mescaline just doesn't take off, for economic reasons: production process is comparable to to producing any other 2C, yet the dose is an order of magnitude higher. So, a producer of synthetic mescaline could instead produce 2C-B (which is also Sch 1, but has a dose 1/10th the size, and hence is much more profitable), or go the less risky route (from a legal perspective), and make unscheduled 2Cs, and still charge more per gram than they would for the mescaline, because of the higher potency of the 2C's.
 
Around where? Boomers are relatively popular around my general area, especially during festie season. I just ate some weekend before last.

That said, I tend to agree with TheAzo regarding 4-Aco-DMT... great stuff!!
 
mushrooms are a bit unknown in my area, and most people that want to try psychs will tend to go for the more powdery things out there, or what is readily available. growing them is not hard imho, and is quite cheap if you have the little material stuff needed. personally, i find the 4acodmt trip a bit different than what shrooms give me, and i prefer the latter. but i guess getting something simmilar now is better for some than waiting for them to grow in 2 months....

mescaline.. well ive been asking myself that for a while now, and i guess i have to agree that is has to do with economics unfortunately. even if one is willing to spend, there is little in the way of offers on the market. eating cacti is very nauseating, and people prefer the easier to get/ easier to store 2cs. which i think its a shame really.
 
It's true that synthetic mescaline isn't profitable and you'd have a hard time finding it. The thing that puzzles me is that with the natural source, yeah you have to drink horrible slime, but you had to do that in the '60s too. Have hippies lost their balls in the last few decades? I love san pedro, I think people are really missing out.
 
I do mushrooms nearly every week. Recently, they've been one of the only psychedelics that seem to be working for me, for whatever reason..

maybe because you are doing them every week?... try taking a break mate, it will be a more rewarding experience next time....

also, about the slimy cactus drink, personally i cant risk ordering cactus powder/chips online, and growing one takes waaay to much effort where i live. while id love to try some and would risk nausea for it, id rather pay for the synthetic at a higher price. but thats just me, i always prefer to get quality trips rather than frequent ones on cheaper chems.
 
Not every week, NEARLY every week. I've taken 2 week breaks before and then tried a different psychedelic and still had the same problem. A few theories as to why have been procured, but I'm not quite sure what's going on. It's not too bothersome, though.
A week is enough time.
 
I don't think mushrooms will ever be popular in the broad sense.
there will always be a minority group that partakes,
they are not very hard to find, though it depends on where you live,
you can grow them,
or just get some 4 aco dmt,
have you asked your weed dealer,

you have to ask yourself though,
do you want tripping to become popular,\?
as hippidom did and now metal is becoming,
mushrooms are sacred, they should be treated as such,
not popularized,

i do not think if more people did them,
the world would be better,
i think a few people are just supposed to do them,
while the others live their lives the way they are meant to.
 
I want more people to do psychedelics, more demand = more supply = cheaper and easier to find.
Also calling a drug sacred is kind of bull. It sounds like you don't want other people to do it so it stays your thing. You also don't seem to understand how to use comma's.

I think shrooms and cactus are not as popular simply because LSD is just easier in every aspect.

Mushrooms rank in my top three drugs of choice alongside LSD and MDMA. Not seen any decent acid floating round these parts for 15 years or more, too old and past it these days to be cutting up much of a rug on MDMA, so mushrooms were my staple until their sale was banned in the U.K. Nothing much has topped quality wise the vast soaring mental space of 30g or so of the Columbians and Philippinos I'd regularly treat myself to on a weekend. Making a little expedition out onto the moors before too long to see what this years harvest might have in store. Odd weather though. It seems to have gone from too warm and dry to wintry, water-logging torrential downpours.
 
Shrooms are my favourite drug. I like that they're 'natural' (whether the natural vs synthetic has any validity I don't care) -- they're meant to be eaten :) I want some now...
 
well in a society where nothing is sacred, (comma) id say mushrooms could be considered such.
I could care less if every single human being dose mushrooms,
as long as they are available,
im not trying to say there should be an elite group of super shamans that rule the common folk,
im just saying pds are not for everyone, and more isnt always better,

i find as things become more popular, they loose their purity,
 
I prefer mushrooms over acid if i'm honest. I find the body load on mushrooms heavier and on acid i can dance more. But my head is alot clearer on mushrooms which is good, I love mushrooms.. just not the taste of liberty cap tea.. bokeee
 
Sepher,
Actually the ban was the result of greedy UK shroom growers who got tired of buying their shrooms form the Nederlands. English sold cubes were almost 25 % more than they sold for in Amsterdam. What those dealers did was ruin the right to freely pick and consume liberty caps and cyanescens since the mid 1970s when two justices ruled that fresh shrooms were mushrooms and chemicals were chemicals so one could pick and possess libs for many years. Hundreds of thousands of pickers of libs and then the greed of a few fucked it up for everyone who, before all those stores opened, legally picked all they wanted every year. In Japan where they were legal for five years, an asshole dosed a teen fab pop star with a cup of shroom tea. He ended up in a mental ward for three weeks. You could, at the time, even purchase shrooms from vending machines in certain streets in Tokyo and they even had them along playboy and beer in vending machines at Narita airport in Tokyo. So that ended that one. Next to go was Christiana, Denmark, a hippie community in the ten to twenty thousand people where most drugs were openly sold in head shops. Then Amsterdam. I detest most of the smart shop clerks whom are described as being knowledgable in shrooms to those who want to first try them. I watched some of these mickey mouse sales kids telling fabricated tales of the effects that the different shrooms they sell to tourists have when consumed. They know shit. And every smart shop sells the same attributes and dangers of shrooms only the name on the lists they provide a customer with are different from shop to shop, but the info is the same. And those descriptions of effects, etc, are published in Spanish, English, Dutch, German, Swiss, Portuguese, and Italian and French. I have a few for Copelandia (Panaeolus) cyanescens, Sclerotia of P. tampanensis, and for Philippino strain of cubensis. The sheets say this species gives you visual wonders, the sclerotia gives one feelings of tranquility, the cubes make you feel like you are in a new wonderful dimension. What tripe.

I actually predicted two years before they would become illegal that they would become illegal as they were greedy. I responded to a thread about that very matter at Mycotopia when a new member from the UK registered and offered sales of his shrooms in London at horrible prices to people in the USA, not knowing that they are illegal here to sell. That would get someone busted and people have been busted in the US who ordered grow kits from both the UK and from Amsterdam or elsewhere in the Nederland. This is horrible, the UK prices when liberty cap pickers in the PNW still sold and still do sell today, dried ounces or fresh pounds (Approx. 1200 or more fresh libs per pound) of liberty caps for $75 to $100 dollars per dried ounce or fresh pound. That is approx. 30 doses or more per. And then we also have hundreds of pickers who just turn their friends on free and do not charge them for their shrooms. And like the UK, those who grow cubes in America charge from $20 dollars an 1/8 fresh or 3-5 grams dry and as high as $20 dollars to $40 or $50 dollars a quarter ounce dried. Or for one fresh ounce anywhere from $20 to $40. That is rediculous.

Check my site at http://www.mushroomjohn.org

and read the United Kingdom's news collection of articles I collected since 1976. Some in the UK i present a whole front paged newspaper on several shops. There are about 800 news articles of shrooms busts from all over the world posted at my grape vine news section. Look under UK in the index page on shrooms and shroom busts.

http://www.mushroomjohn.org/news.htm

I have over 15,000 photos posted at my site, dozens ofpublished papers and books by me and other scholars, several thousand photos of shroom hunting for magic in South and Southeast Asia, etc, really great surreal psychedelic art. etc. Several books, and a field guide showing several thousands of photos of 66 of the more than 200 species known worldwide to contain psilocine/psilocybin, my book mushroom pioneers, also Psilocybian Mushroom Cultivation: A Breif History. And many more cool images all free. I sell nothing on my site and it is for those who wish to learn the truth of these shrooms without errors or bs.

Yes indeed, those figures truly are rediculous, make no sense at all.

Youre saying I can buy an eighth fresh for 20$, or 5g dry for the same?, or 40-50$ for 7g dry.

Or a fresh ounce for 20-40?
 
Classic price US street has been 20$ 1/8th dry since I got into things in the late 90s. I hear 10$ a dry gram all the time now, which isn't too silly really considering the price of other drugs, and the quality of the trip. The ease of cultivation/foraging notwithstanding. 10$ acid, you need 3-4hits to go anywhere on however...
Shrooms are my favorite, that's why I grow my own, give a few away to people I trust with them, and don't sell them.
 
Actually, shrooms in my area are a very lucrative business. Costs little to grow. Problem is demand, it's there, but not like rolls or g. Shrooms are the best drug for me. It's more of a life trip. But honestly, most people I talk to who ask me about
shrooms and I tell them what it's like, are they like, wow, and you actually like that?" I think a lot of people never even consider trying them.
 
i think LSD generally works better for mass distribution; a small lab can dose millions of people, and think of the physical size of a million doses of acid versus a million doses of mushrooms. LSD has no odour either

personally i'd like to see a larger variety of the psychedelics available; MDA, DOM, 2CB are foreign words to the average joe, which seems sad
