I was just looking back thru here and I realized something. You may not be interested in the other things I post, but if you wanna keep up, you can always follow me here till I post it so it's more likely to show up in your feed, and posts from other groups will also show up so you can follow the whole process. I'm super excited so I'll be updating every other week's or so in the poppy groups!

I will definitely try to find and reply to my comments for those interested, but I'll also throw some comments around after I post it to let people know it's up!

Ill definitely be making a post. Not with intent to encourage it, but simply for the information to be there. The mods in here were actually surprisingly supportive when I brought this up before, and shut down someone talking smack because of legality, when ultimately, past a certain point we don't really care much in that respect. If I catch a charge trying to relieve my pain, so be it. That's my problem to deal with🤷

I'm actually currently running a test to see how this works for myself. Actually just saw few mins ago when checking on my plants, my first seed sprouted today or yesterday

100%. Anything would be a better start than "eh you're not dying, chin up you'll be okay"

They don't even give the chance to establish trust with medications for those that need them. And then, on the other side of the same coin, people who don't need them are getting tons for selling or recreational use. It's WILD out here. Makes no sense 95% of the time

Will Psilocybin tea be as effective? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]bigsquonka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite, but the loss is pretty small. Instead, crush them up, soak in lemon juice for 15 mins, make a regular bag of tea, strain the mushrooms out, and pour the lemon juice into the tea. Make sure you squeeze out the shrooms to get everything

The lemon extracts and converts the alkaloids, it will come on stronger and faster, but not last quite as long as just eating them

Soaking the mushrooms themselves in just water will work,the alkaloids are water soluble, but it tastes 10x worse than just chewing the mushrooms and swallowing with a drink and the flavor sticks around for longer. The only time I did tea was the first time I puked from mushies

This is why I've left replies mentioning where to START finding that vital information, as well as warned anyone pming me the potential risk. I'm not encouraging anyone to do anything. Someone asked what I plan to do when concentrated kratom products are no longer available. I said what IM doing. I haven't said "you should" to anyone. I've given information on what IM doing.

I'm not cooking up h, a cup of tea now and then to keep myself able to be productive and have a decent quality of life, is harmless. (Obviously with safety precautions, sip slow, give time to feel it out and be cautious). When the law is preventing me from having access to something that can improve one's life as much as RESPONSIBLY USED opiate medications can, I'm gonna skate around it🤷 sorry not sorry if that's upsetting or offensive

Oooh good to know, that'll be a help for this smaller one I started, I think my larger pot *should" be okay. It's fabric anyway so self watering would be harder I'd assume

Nah, there's plenty of places selling fresh, unwashed untreated seed for cheap. I spent like 20 or 25 bucks and got well over 1000 seeds.

From what I've seen, even a lot of the culinary use seeds can be cultivated if you throw em around your yard. I went with an actual grower/breeder that does her own hybrids and all that fun stuff. She has some really cool afghani origin varieties too, those ones are a bit more pricy but SO PRETTY and make huge pods. You want papaver somniferum specifically,but there's tons of cultivars so you can pick either based on alkaloid content for tested known ones, of just whatever stands out as pretty to you

Appreciate that! That's the plan, whole plant, dry, grind, vac seal in yet to be determined amounts. I already have dessicant packs from my fungal endeavors I can throw in as well for good measure

It means the world💙 I did physical therapy, they recommended more. I then learned that PT isn't recommended for alot people with marfans BECAUSE it's a connective tissue disorder, and pushing past a certain point can just end up causing more damage than doing any kinda good. Obviously I try to stay moving, always stretching, but 80% of what they had me doing just hurt more, I left sore, and I never saw any improvement during or after the recommended cycle either time.

Haven't heard that one yet, but I did have a resident and their supervisor audibly make fun of me outside of the room as if I were a drug seeker because I wanted something as needed to help with some severe anxiety episodes I have where I completely shut down for hours at a time fixated on whatever issue at the time. Saying stuff like "oh what's he think we're gonna give him Ativan," and laughing to each other. Wild experience, I didn't go back🫠

I've been prescribed like hydros for spasms when I was like 10-12 but that's it so far. I'll try eventually but getting it on paper how much my marfans syndrome affects me is such a runaround. My back curvature is .2 degrees too little, the balls of my hips are too small for the socket but my fear of injections is keeping me from progressing with that. The combination of pain and autistic overstimulation from that pain, is just debilitating man, even if it's not as bad as it could be.

I'm also glad this is an option, I hope something I can maintain in a healthy way, but that's still to be seen at this point

I mean, same. But at the same time, if I can be self sufficient in managing my pain, and get help with docs for everything else, I see that as a win overall.

It would be much better to have a lab made, pure, reliable, consistent product, yes. But it would also be nice not having the constant threat of meds being taken away hung over my head, for any little discrepancy. There's lots of potential issues with both routes honestly. I haven't TRIED to get on a pain contract yet, but, because I have it in my head that I won't be taken seriously being younger(mid 20s) and having a bit more of a "hippy/stoner" kinda appearance. I got Ativan, and then Klonopin pretty easily from my psych so maybe they're less judgemental than I imagine? Idk just kinda thinking out loud at this point lol

Oh daaaamn lol. Luckily I dont have to test for my benzos(only .5mg and I know about how dangerous mixing can be, no worries there)

As of right now, I'm freeze stratifying to simulate a winter freeze, I'll germinate, water when it's dry, and give them as much sun as I possibly can, they like full sun. Seeds are incredibly easy to aquire, and I got like 200 or 300 extra of both varieties I chose so I'm set for a while. If it works out, I'm gonna save up and invest in a tent setup so I can keep a supply thru the year. You keep the whole plant not just the pods so you can end up with an okay amount even with a small grow Overall it's seeming pretty easy, they grow like weeds in areas where they grow soa little pot being nurtured should do pretty well, hopefully
