It's living the life of a black pot
On my last trip I've had this thought that if you take shrooms, it's the shrooms controlling you to do their bidding. Kind of like parasites controlling snails, but only for the duration of the trip.
I haven't felt that yet but there was one bad trip I had where I felt like it was my responsibility to speak for the mushrooms and like somehow convey the billions of years of knowledge they have into a format people could understand. This felt impossible and like the trip just taking turns for the worst as I kept resisting this enormous responsibility.
I've also had trips where the fungal gods or whatever make it clear that I'm only going to fully understand their message when they consume my body after I die and I've had to tell them "I ain't dead yet you fucks, chill out".
This sounds crazy but I'm sure at least one person understands

True confession, picture edition. I just looked into my stem bucket. Took a picture and dumped it in the trash.

Well I once put the stem butts from harvesting in a bottle with no other intention that tossing them later but for whatever reason I forgot, left it in a corner and some days later I got this.

Confession: I probably spent 10+ hours trying to hunt down enough jars for masters and g2g 2nd hand online during this current shortage. Drove god knows how many miles just to realize I need to g2g into bags. Lost so much sleep while working 10+ hour days. Now I have 100+ jars I don't need, some of which are still rattling around in the cab of my truck. Spent 80 on a used 23qt Presto only to turn around and find a 41qt rebranded AA type for $150.
Knocked up 4 masters before I realized I forgot to shake the syringe. Also feel stupid for not going straight to Agar. But whatevs.

I was at a dispensary today and the line was pretty long, I got talking with the guy next to me and he was telling me about how he smokes cuz he’s has depression and nothing helps. So I ask if he’s into shrooms and he lights up like yeah man but Idk where to get that stuff.
So I caught him in the parking lot and gave him a half ounce I had on me. Anyway I just woke up and had a bunch of messages from him about how his life’s changed now and these things are amazing and he feels like his old self for the first time in forever.
I know he’s tripping his face off and who knows if it’ll last but that shit made me feel good.

I’ve battled suicidal depression most my life, I haven’t been in that level of darkness since I started tripping again

I can relate to that. My confession: that is exactly why we don't do vacations anymore

Congrats D3, et all. Ya, I never thought I'd make it past 35!
I had a trick, if I was gonna die, then it didn't matter what I did next, so I could just try something else like WTF! Still here...

Probably just looking to get enough posts to access journal land

That’s why my everything hurts nowadays and I have no memory retention 🤣
I hung myself when I was 12 but somebody found me and was able to resuscitate. Sometimes I feel like maybe it did really end then and this is all just the aftermath. A dream world where I never feel like I’m actually awake.
Journal

Or can see others active journals here (I been trying to pop in to peoples journal posts so they don’t just feel like they are talking to themselves. Seems like there’s some good stuff that gets missed in there)

Anyone's profile has a link to their journal: not everyone utilizes it, but there is a post count minimum for access to it: again so for marketplace, coupled with a timeframe requirement as well... things that a grower might want to keep more intricate details about without clogging up mainstream threads: a spot anyone particularly interested in a specific cultivators' methodology can study said in greater detail
