Comparing shroomery to other forums
    #19361598 - 01/03/14 12:46 AM (10 years, 28 days ago)

In the past, I have always signed up for forums surrounding drug use. I was a member of that one site called Grasscity.

Honestly, when you compare a marijuana forum and a mushroom forum, there are major differences. It seems like the people here are generally more mature and intelligent. Ninety percent of the posts on that forum appeared to be made by fifteen year olds learning to smoke a bong for the first time. Here we seem to have informative and interesting discussion. Although most people here have done their fair share of drugs, from mushrooms to heroin. Wouldn't that mean the users here would be dumb and have a sketchy vibe from all the drugs? No, you would be wrong. Most of the other forums I have been on seem to have a less inviting tone. No solidarity, more snobiness and gay boy shit.

Anyways what is your guy's experience with other forums. I told my story.

Now tell yours.

Shroomery is the shit. Best interface and information in my opinion. Mycotopia is a close second. Only benefit I've noticed is mycotopia hasmore mushroom growing information per post. The environment is no where near as fun either. Then there is shroomology. Not enough backing that one. And the pf site which really lacks.

All in all this is probably the best all around experience you could have.

Man I think we take the shroomery for granted sometimes. The vibes here are really great and you can always find a little niche in one of the different sections. I personally love the WCA crew. It feels like we are a family and I can't say I got that feeling on any other internet forum.

Think of all minutes, hours, days, weeks we all spend on here. There has got to be a reason for it. Quality people and the mods aren't douche bags, well most of the time. I've actually met some people from the shroomery in real life and made good friends. My bad for the rant I'm spun so don't take this post too seriously.

It's definitely the best forum I've ever been a part of, by far. A lot of that has to do with the moderators and admins. We've got a really cool group of people running the place, and that counts for a lot.

However, a huge number of our members are in the 16-25 range, and many of them post a lot of dumb shit. Then again, we were all that age at one time.

But god damn there is so much :underage:

Yeah I havent gotten into any other drug forums. I dunno why. The atmosphere here suits me, there is enough content to keep me satisfied, the pace is fast enough. Just haven't felt a need to venture out. I've thought about DMT-Nexus but meh. I've looked at it and they seem pretty loony. A lot of them seem to genuinely believe they're dimensional space travellers because they smoke drugs

That's why I liked JoeMolly (might be spelt wrong) a lot. In his posting days he annoyed a lot of people, but he had truth to his words. Busting myths and saying how psychedelics aren't literally making you communicate with aliens was good for the community. It fucking sucks when you have one sided discussion. The DMT nexus has that.

Some forums are not as partial on certain ideas as the shroomery. Don't bother signing up if your opinions contradict them, because it will be an uphill battle and not worth your time. I like it here, got to admit. We have a good thing going and let's keep it this way.

I got good vibes cause dopamine is flowing through my brain like a river and it's my birthday. Got a new hoodie, shirt, some essentials from my parents. But fuck, happy new years shroomery. I hope 2014 brings some good discussions and the trolls reside in their caves as much as possible.

That's sort of why ayahuasca pisses me off. The shamans associate their use of psychedelics with religious experiences. They treat it like some religious sacrament that literally makes you talk to God and shit like that. Unlike with Mormons or Christians, there is no debate. Just like in some of these forums, like DMT nexus. You know they are probably full of shit and can prove it, but nobody listens.

I think Ayahuasca was and is a useful medicine for certain psychological illnesses, though. Convincing someone that they're having a spiritual/religious experience can be helpful. For example, if someone has really bad cancer and is dwelling in negativity because of their fear of death, and you give them an experience after which they believe they know what will happen to them when they die, they may gain a more positive attitude, which has actually been demonstrated to help improve cancer recovery rates.

when I do DMT what happens to me is a corruption of the process in which my brain creates composite images out of incoming sensory data in my occipital cortex and episodic memory data from my hippocampus

if i do enough the process is so corrupted that my brain is struggling to just create patterns out of information packets that are essentially composed of noise, and I end up seeing constantly reforming geometric patterns instead of anything that is around me

sound familiar?

The shroomery is a fantastic place, almost wish I could post on here more often, my schedules pretty tight tho. I also enjoy blulight and reddit, if you consider it a forum.

I'm a college student, probably on the younger side here, but I wholeheartedly enjoy just reading through the discussions on this forum. I don't know anyone like some of the guys on this forum, sorta wish I did:lol: The tales that get told on here, the information that gets spread, the intelligent discussions that are brought up, I enjoy all of it:peace:

there is no fair comparison between the Shroomery and other forums. the Shroomery is a very unique forum--we have such a varied group of members here, it's insane. that's not to mention all the awesome functionality that the Shroomery has that no other forum has. this place is special in a lot of ways. :heart:
