Bad karma to profit from psychedelics? 3

So I've been hearing this around a lot and I think I agree, I wouldn't feel right profiting from something that people can use to enlighten themselves with, especially something as beautiful as shrooms. What are people's thoughts on trading psychedelics however? Say trading shrooms for some herb? (Only with close friends mind you) I don't see an issue with it seeing as it is mutually beneficial and we're just distributing substances that we have excess of to those who don't have access to it.
Any thoughts?
Peace

I think that is a fantastic idea! I need to go to Australia. If everyone there is like you then I will love it.

I think it all depends on context. I've been at music festivals where I've given away several grams of DMT in doses to people for free.
but if one of those people asks me "hey man can I get a few grams" I'd charge them.

selling is trading. how is money for drugs not mutually beneficial. unless you're forcing someone to pay for drugs, when someone pays money for anything its a mutual benefit or it wouldn't take place.

I don't think it exists in the sense that there is some governing body that makes all things fair in the end, but the general idea that putting out positive energy will cause more positive energy to come back to you is generally true

Thats all in your head. Per se it doesn't exist but believing it exists it can have profound psychological effects over you existence. Just like religion.
I don't sell psychedelics cause its illegal tho I sold a free mail sample of 25i for 120 bucks lol (and I sold it as 25i too).

I see it as a farmer selling corn or wheat. Not everybody is going to have the time or know how to grow mushrooms, but that does not mean they should not experience it. If someone puts in the time, energy, and money into growing something that people are willing to pay for then where is the harm. I am sure if people who sell mushrooms could trade them for things such as food or gasoline or rent then they would not have to sell them.

Karma was just another way of saying good/bad thing to do but I understand that money is simply another form of trade but I hate the idea of money, it's a dirty intermediary for useful trade. And yeah I plan on just giving them to my friends for free (I'm already shouting them their first trip because we're all doing it together) but if they insist then the best option for trade would probably be another psychedelic I think.

you have to have internet and a computer, i'm sure there are plenty of things you enjoy that you bought with money which you don't have to buy but i don't know you... how old are you?
sorry if you think i'm nit picking at your words. but come on, do you really hate spending money? if you do that's fine, but from what you are showing about yourself it seems like you are full of shit.
if my understanding of you is off tell me.

Though I have never sold I have bought, and I'm fine with people making a respectable markup.
Theres a simple as dirt formula for a respectable markup thats practiced throughout trade: Sell at no more than twice your buy price.
Unethical are:
1) Letting people pay through the nose for stuff you got on the cheap, this hinders the free flow of psychedelics and dupes the customer.
2) Misrepresenting drugs, weight and strength, for instance selling weak ass shrooms as bomb, or NBOMe as LSD, or 7/8oz of cactus powder as an ounce, either straight up or cut to make iot appear a full ounce. It dupes the customer, might endanger him or her and is simply dishonest practice condemned from biblical times onward:
Quote:
35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Leviticus 19:35-36

i used to feel the same way about only marking up 100%, but now i feel like selling at a price that it is worth to you is fine.
mark up also depends on availability. if i scored a bunch of acid, so 1000 for 2grand. this is something that i may never be able to get again in my life and if i even want to sell any of it at all i sure as hell ain't letting go of one hit for less than the price of a good beer at a bar because its worth more than that to me.
