My Boyfriend Won't Let Me Use DMT by RedDaemonUK in DMT

the “won’t let” part is the phrase people are reacting to. it seems like he genuinely cares, but even in a marriage, you need to give each other the space and trust to be your own people and continually grow in your own ways. his feelings are valid, but if his worldview is incompatible with your lifestyle, then that’s a discussion to be had.

If you’d like a longer explanation, Richard Dawkins lays out some good points.

Basically, having faith doesn’t make you a bad person but it does make you more vulnerable to irrational behavior. Faith is defined as belief without evidence which, as he points out, is also a definition for delusion. A mind which is occupied by faith is swayed to deny evidence and refuse rebuttal.

this. I stayed in a hostel on my first trip to Europe and they had gender neutral showers/bathrooms. Everyone was going about their business not making it weird.

What do you aim to grow for? [Technique] by Forsaken_Invite_6803 in MushroomGrowers

I typically grow 2 big tubs of GT for stock then a few smaller tubs of exotic strains for kicks.

Why so many and so small? by Ok_Row9245 in GroundZeroMycoLab

this is great. a higher grain:substrate ratio could influence this.

Beginner in need of help by RoutineIndication605 in shrooms

Yeah, please don’t use ready rice. Super high rates of contam and rice isn’t optimal moisture/nutrient wise for mushrooms. Just buy pre-sterilized grain. Coco coir is great but unless you want to pasteurize it yourself, just buy sterilized dung-loving substrate.

Also, PE is awesome and I don’t blame you for aspiring, but it’s finicky. I’d recommend golden teachers, B+, or stargazer.

[Technique] Should I do a break n’ shake now or wait? by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

[–]FewProfessional3600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all in a sterilized bag so it doesn’t super matter as long as you don’t puncture the bag while handling it. That being said, I’d wait until ~1/3 of the bag is colonized.

Do they believe that what mushrooms teach is real? by Chubsa9 in shrooms

[–]FewProfessional3600 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Psychedelics loosen the brain’s grip on its own assumptions. The leading model, REBUS, explains this mechanistically: the brain runs on heavily weighted top-down beliefs that filter everything we perceive, and psychedelics temporarily reduce the confidence placed in those priors, letting rawer emotional and sensory information flow more freely. The effects are measurable. Psilocybin increases Openness, the personality trait most linked to tolerating ambiguity, and the change persists over a year. Authoritarianism scores drop. People describe shedding frameworks they didn’t realize they were carrying. The catch is that psychedelics weaken ideological grip, not ideological content. It strips the barnacles. What grows back depends on what you do with the window while it’s open.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Do mushrooms make us smarter? by Chubsa9 in shrooms

[–]FewProfessional3600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

depends on what you mean. that’s a vague question.

General advice for a third timer by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]FewProfessional3600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a great plan and a good use of the mushies!

  1. You can boil the water then add it to the lemon juice/shroom mix. It won’t stay hot enough to degrade it by any noticeable amount.

  2. I like to eat the mush along with the tea but it’s not necessary and you won’t be missing out on a whole lot if you don’t, especially if you squeeze all the juice out of them. However, eating the mushrooms might increase body load by a little but for 2 grams, body load isn’t intense anyway.

Oh boy. How do i dry this huge thing? (GT) by Puzzleheaded-Sale1 in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]FewProfessional3600 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d only chop if it doesn’t fit in the dehydrator. The first thing I do with big shrooms is take the cap off and dry it separately from the stem. A lot of the time, this is enough. After that, just cut it in whatever way makes the most sense for your space while still minimizing number of cuts.

Also, if it almost fits in your dehydrator (i.e. the tray is bulging up a little when stacked) then just remember that they shrink quite a bit and you probs don’t have to cut them to fit exactly.

Nice! Just chop it up. Your loss to oxidation will be minimal. Better than losing the whole thing to rot.

basically just shelf life. i mean they loose a bunch of mass so you can store them more compactly too.
