Looking to buy grow kit in North America (Golden Teacher)

I am looking to start cultivating mushrooms myself and would like to buy a grow kit online. I am looking for the golden teacher grow kit as I have read positive reviews but most sites I visit are in Europe. As I live in Canada you can see the problem. I want to buy from a north American site or if possible a Canadian site.
Any suggestions?
First post asking something I feel bad. But I have a feeling its not all that uncommon.

Yeah, don't buy a grow kit. Make a mono tube or do cakes. Kits are virtually a waste of money.
You'll get a higher yield as well as actually learn how to grow.

kit as in the equip you need to grow in 1 package or ready to go mycel kits? the latter is probably illegal in canada as well as the US. the former is unbelievably overpriced and often comes with crap you'll never need..
www.mushroomvideos.com 50$ investment max and you can grow for ever and a day!

Mason jars (wide mouth half pint) are about 10$ a dozen at most grocery stores. Vermiculite is about 5$ for a 4qt bag. Brown rice flour is about 4$ for a bag. You can buy a spore syringe online at a sponsors website for under 20$. You can supply a couple cotton balls, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, and a lighter for flaming the needle.
There you go, a DIY grow kit. That is really all it takes. You can use the set up for many edibles (I've done oysters, shaggy mane, reishi, and shiitake on them, with nothing more than the addition of a little saw dust and a few toothpicks), and presumably other fungi as well.

You're not going to find a "golden teacher" grow kit in Canada.I live in the US but as far as I know magic mushrooms are still illegal in canada. So you wont find a grow kit like they have in europe.
The european kits are already half grown. You just add water.
Any other kits will sell premade/sterilized substrate, and you will have to buy your own spore and inoculate yourself. The vast majority of these take advantage of new growers by charging way too much money.. the supplys are so easy to aqquire and cheap that you are much better off preparing your own spawn/substrate.

I can take the 150 it would cost to buy a kit and be able to grow a 1/2 lb or more easy... I never got why people would ever want to buy a kit.
