Last start of regular seeds were 4/4 males. Decided to try something different. 11 g fresh GT. should be just enough to get a taste.

Have fun, I like eating them fresh. 11grams fresh is equivalent to about 1.2g dried so that should be a nice fun evening without getting crazy.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Yeah, it was okay. Not too crazy. Definitely still in control which was good for a first time. Not sure I really liked the "body load".
I was even more immersed in music than I am when I smoke weed. I mean, really immersed. People talk about oneness. Felt like i was the music or the music was me. It was beautiful. I was able to drop in and pull back when I wanted to.
Was super focused and "present" for my wife when I wanted to be. I'm seriously ADHD so "being in the moment" is an elusive thing for me. I get the same benefit when i smoke weed. It slows the constant swirl of thoughts but, yeah, i'm stoned. Shrooms was more lucid.
Learned a lot. Not sure if i learned anything that I didn't already know but i am more mindful of these things in my daily life - without judgement. That makes them more actionable.
So... present, mindful, all the stuff that therapists tell you you should practice but have always been difficult for me to access. Kinda cool.
Hah, only problem is, at one point I thought, "Should i really be taking psychedelic drugs? For that matter, should i really use any substance? Weed? Alcohol?" Now, I don't feel that I ever need to eat shrooms again. I have no desire to drink alcohol. Not even sure I care to smoke weed anymore. Weird.
Good news is, I recognise my relationship with alcohol was probably unhealthy. Now, if i drink, it will be because i still really enjoy good beer and good whiskey. Just wish I didn't have to consume the alcohol.
I'll do shrooms again and probably increment the dose. Because it allowed me to focus and immerse myself so completely, I'm going to try meditation - something that has also been elusive due to the ADHD.
Crazy what the right chemicals will do to your brain.

That sure doesnt look like the golden teachers i produced a few times. They have a much fatter shroom head than that and the stem isnt near as thick. Not bashing your stash, they look legit. they just don't look like GT to me

Yeah, i thought the same. Honestly tho, it's like the weed we used to get back in the 70's. The seeds we get today are nowhere near what they once were.

All I have to say to that is,
"All Cubensis and Mexicana Mushroom Spores sold on this website are intended for microscopic research and identification purposes only."
You should do some microscopic research.
As somebody who misses some lime green mexican brick weed...................i humbly agree

How much of the active ingredient was present in 11g? How much in a different batch of the same type? How much in some other type? Psilo Qtest by Miraculix. Now you can have an idea of how strong those are and control your intake more accurately. If that is your thing. I figure eat all you can get down, hold on, and then you are either good for years to a lifetime, or you form a relationship. Psilo Qtest ask for it by name. 9 out of 10 dentists agree. That other dentist is an asshole though.
It's hard to not be on psychedelics. Your brain specializes in manufacturing and utilizing several analogues of these chemicals. This is the reason anything is psychoactive. They are why you are conscious. They are perhaps, "you."

I was reading an article a few years back that said they more or less had the same amount of psylocybin. Not sure how much of that is true. I do know some strains are a lot harder to grow than others. Thats why i only grew the golden teachers. theyre easy going

Cubensis mushrooms can have a pretty wide range in potency. Sometimes even within the same tub of mushrooms because multiple spores can bond and start producing a variety of similar but different fruits. Its kinda like phenotypes with weed(not exactly but similar), you can get multiple different plants from the same batch of seeds, and not every plant will produce equal yields, quality or potency.
That would explain things for me. Im a lightweight. Maybe once a year when i have a day to myself i'll do them. Id grow them and give most away as gifts. Im glad you clarified that for me though. I would imagine those asian strains are way crazier than the mexican ones i grew up using

Not necessarily, there's all kinda of great varieties out there. I really enjoyed the Amazonian "Blue Meanies" I grew a few years back. Some of my favorites in general are called "albino penis envy" or "APE" for short, which is an isolated culture that its tougher to get spores. I also really have enjoyed the "Koh Samoi" which are from thailand.
I almost grew out the amazonia because of the pictures alone. covered in blue and brown patches. i bought some penis envy from somone a few years back but it was aged terribly and a bland effect

People have been using psychedelics for longer than recorded history without the need for precise dosing. I'm cool with that. I'm of the opinon that the further we get from the natural state, the less healthy things get.
Take a look at the state of weed today, breeding and inbreeding for specific "desirable" traits. We end up with the same crap as supermarket fruit and vegetables. Talk to some of the older members here. There's a serious arguement to made that the weed from the sixties and seventies was far superior to the stuff bred for potency and adaptability to indoor growing and hydroponic environments today.
No testing other than comparison of bluing needed for me. i'll take my chances otherwise.

Hey man I grew up 100 miles from the texican border. I miss that mexican weed from the 90's. It was a fun high and you could build a house smoking it. Im 38 and i cant stand mainstream pot anymore myself. You should check out ace seeds if you havent heard about them. They exclusively deal with landraces. All natural strains with those terpenes that made everything feel so great. This is a panama i just cut down a few days ago. Second ones a pure landrace indica Bubba Hash. It wont be the same stuff from the good ole days but its as close as you can get.
