But is that illegal? Certainly providing a legal plant (which can be obtained at any home supply store) along with information that covers the said plants' psychoactivity is protected by the 1st Amendment.
The authorities certainly would be watching for the vendor to slip up and sell illegal preparations/extracts/etc. But simply selling legal cacti along with information should, in theory, be safe.
Just curious...

Once, a long time ago (several years) the idea of a Shroomery magazine was kicked around. It probably has come up a couple times since then too. The big problems that were brought up then were that nobody wanted to actually have their names and addresses on such a publication's mailing list and everyone seemed to think original material would be hard to come up with after a year or so. The argument about the good material is debatable, but the list issue I think is a valid point. Maybe a poll to see if opinions have changed on this?
Just to keep this constructive, I'd buy all my supplies from a shroomery store. I buy 90% of my stuff online anyway. I'm lazy.

Selling pipes is legal, selling the same pipes as pot pipes is not. Selling a plant that contains a controlled substance, and giving out information on how to use it that way would be at least a sale of (manufacturing) paraphernelia charge, possibly conspiracy to manufacture.

I still like my "shroomery digest" magazine idea. And think there would be more then enough info both on site and what people could offer to contribute to keep it going for a long time to come if edited and published correctly. All they would have to do is take the best questions,advice,grow log pics,mush hunting,and contamination posts and form those into the magazine itself. Why not use what you already have? And they could have random "field" reports,news (drug related) contests,etc. I have already seen a lot of posts agreeing with me and they also would buy the mag. So how about that poll?

I've been talking about it in the mod forum.
I think we should find 3-4 volunteers to go to a semi-famous haunted house, and spend the night tripping there.
That would make a great article.

Oh hell yeah that would rock."Trips in high Places"Hmmmm......Maybe you could find a way to make most articles "spoofs" or plays on words. Hold mini gatherings in different states and do something fun like that as a group then tell all us eagerly waiting readers in the next months issue....I cant wait....I really hope this happens.

Just out of curiosity, how does the advertising here work? I know that alot of places have banners, and if you click that banner, the company it links to can track where that click came from, and where the sale came from. Do shroomery advertisers pay a lump sum per month, or is it based on the amount of traffic/sales generated by advertising here? I was thinking, if the advertisers pay more due to increased traffic, we should all go to their pages from the shroomery. I've orderd a few hundred dollras worth of stuff from BBear before, but I never go to their page FROM this page, so I was hoping I didn't take any potential profit away from the shroomery :-)
Just kurious :0 Jr

As for the shroomery digest, with todays technology, that'd be pretty easy to do. It wouldn't have to bound like a magazine, at least not up front. Make it in adobe pdf maker, print it out in color, staple it in the corner, mail, and it's done. I'd pay for a subscription to that
Especially if it did pertain to growing shrooms. As long as they didn't sell anything spore-related, they'd be straight. Also, you could charge more for advertising in a magazine, and more companies (possibly?) would be inclined to advert there.

that would break them for sure....why not PDF and send it to email....then you can print it out and the cost would be lower and trees would be safe once again

I think a journal is a good idea, however it needs some seriously dedicated volunteers to get going. We tried to start a shroomery newsletter a few times and it never went anywhere even though we had a good number of people 'contributing.'
