After reading this thread I REALLY feel like hugging people.

Smoking cannabis before/at work in my case wouldn't be the smartest possible idea. I have to deal with a lot of co-workers and customers, so having bloodshot eyes and a mellow attitude would start raising questions sooner or later...

The idea is basically to cultivate large amounts of mycelium in big, suitable containers and then performing a simple psilocybin/psilocin extraction with a polar solvent. The extraction procedure is the same that is used when extracting from actual mushrooms. Here is an article about the...

From these categories, I'd choose LSD/Mushrooms. They are so versatile and have given me so many wonderful experiences. But I just hope that I'll never have to make that decision...

The mycelium contains psilocybin and psilocin in the same manner as the actual mushrooms, but eating a cake might not be the best possible way to consume it. There are teks where mycelium is grown for example on agar media and the alkaloids are then extracted from it. This way there is no need...

I would recommend doing a simple bi-polar extraction using for example naptha and ethanol. This way you get rid of most unwanted compunds and the nausea is reduced (at least in most cases) to practically none. Here's the procedure in a nutshell (there are more detailed instructions available...

I'd recommend that you give him some material to read through, some articles that are written in honest and unbiased manner. You can find some good ones for example from erowid and shroomery. I assume that he is not too familiar with psychedelics and their use, so providing him with factual...

Welcome to the forum, nice to have you among us!

If the mushrooms are dried properly, they can be kept for years, although their potency will diminish in time (depending of how they are stored). But if kept in a fridge they will most likely go bad, and this can happen pretty fast

The myth about "LSD laced weed/hash" never seems to die out, despite of the fact that LSD-25 would be totally destoryed in the burning process even if someone would decide to produce laced cannabis product for some odd reason. But, there is a lot of low-quality ("soap bar") hash circling in...

The growkits are easy to use and tend to do their job, so that's nothing for you to be concerned about. Now whether or not you should actually cultivate shrooms in your mothers house without her knowledge is something that's hard for others to decide for you. I can understand that there are...

Yeah, cannabis can definitely "bring back" something from previous trips. It also feels to me like psychedelics open certain doors in ones psyche and those places are then more easily accessed, for example under the influence of cannabis. But what you are experiencing seems to be fairly common...

Personally I've had good experiences with morning glories, especially combined with cannabis. But I highly recommend extracting the LSA from the seeds in order to reduce the negative side-effects. The procedure is pretty simple to perform and the chemicals easily acquired.

Sounds like your precautions were good so there shouldn't be any problems. But this also depends of the country and the building you live in. For example, in old wooden houses it's a lot harder to avoid contaminations than in newer buildings.

If you are not going to consume them soon, I'd recommend you would dry them. You can either do it the same way as with other shrooms, or you can use an oven (or other heat source) to dry them in a bit higher temperature. That's supposed to convert some of the ibotenic acid to muscimol. Dried...
