I confess I'm probably gonna take a break from the shroomery for a little while (not from growing tho ). I am pretty hooked on checking updates on this site and I wanna spend much more time off my phone. I love when I'm quick to catch a new tek someone posts and whatnot but time to focus a lil more on the real world. Talk to ya folks later on

I like the ones where your watching the clock and your like fuck. I'm fucked. This shit needs to end now. Lol. Then when you finally come down it feels like you just had a nest death experience. When I have ones like thst. It totally levels my bi-polar depression. Levels me out for months too.
Good medicine
Seems to be real difficult the day after... but I concur: definitely levels me out long term... I try to dose every other weekend, but been more like once every 3 weeks-month past 3 months: just busy... keeps me a nicer, more self-aware individual
I confess, we are 4 days into an official vegetarian diet, and my son just brought meat up talking about dinner tmrw evening... I explained that we'd not had any meat all week, to which he replied "chicken parmesan and hamburgers!"
To which I replied "nope! Blue oyster parmesan, and soy burgers!"
At first, horrified! Then intrigued, and after explaining my decision based on the treatment of the animals, he seemed almost proud to be a "what was it again, so I can tell my teacher?"
Took longer for it to come up than I'd thought, and really, I burst the bubble! He mentioned needing some kind of meat with stir fry, to which I told him we'd not had any for a bit... not as hard as I thought, and he'll still eat meat at school and at his mom's, but he might decide not to! 
There is a reason why humans have inscisors. Lol. Good on you for doing what you feel is better!! I confess, I just wanted to raz caps, and say... Caps, its been 5 weeks since I smoked a ciggy!!!!! Shout out to the quitters!

I don't think the wild print is the issue, I think the filter is old and needs replacing, just because someone else gets 10 years doesn't mean we all will. The fluctuations in environmental conditions, home insulation and other things can influence the life expectancy of your filter.

I disagree about the day after. For me anyways. it feels like I just nearly escaped death and I have a glow. And a real feeling of holy shit I just survived that. I wouldn't wanna go to work like that. Obviously. the next day. But I feel fabtabulous the next day.

Nice! Seriously, give Beyond Burgers (or any other meat they have) a try. They're fucking indistinguishable from meat and made with pea protein. They're fucking nuts. Not cheap, but worth it.

I confess Wednesdays are the day I can do the bulk of any myco work, kids are at the other parents and my girlfriend goes into work as I'm getting off. I have like 8 plates I wanna/should make transfers from. Dishes to do, kitchen to spot clean and floor to vacuum. I also wanna sample these rustywhytes I just harvested....anyone ever still try to be productive on a dose day, or if that's what I wanna do should I just wait for another opportunity? Torn..

I found with about any diet, that finding the things you really like that are normal on-diet foods works much better than trying to replace things. Replacements are almost never as good, where things that aren't trying to be something else can be much better.

Fuck no. I basically look at dose days as days of rest. I treat it like a religious holiday. Does great things for my set/setting when I do that too. This does make it harder to schedule things though. If I really need part of my day I do any chores/errands/bullshit in the am and dose early afternoon to still have most of a day for it.

Normally I'd agree with you (and have a killer portabello grill recipe that I've been honing for years for summer grilling), and I was super hesitant to even try these... but they're fucking killer. They're goddamn delicious. Fuck that they're trying to be something else, they're good enough that I would put money that people who eat meat wouldn't think twice if you handed them one and said it was a hamburger (well... a good percent anyways).

If it wasn't for the Tribe I wouldn't log on as much as I do. Thata a fact Jack: 
So, first off, I only check Shroomery at work, so this is never a problem for me. Unless I'm working with a new tek, then I do log in outside of work. I have a pretty boring job with a good chunk of downtime most days. So! This means I'm still out as mush as I want.
But, ok, the Tribe... I am totally missing something there. Like. How do you get inducted into it... and it seems like that damn forum has no updates! What do ya'll do that makes you a tribe? Seems like an open sekrit since you all link in your signatures, so I may as well ask about it.

I've been seeing them in the grocery stores. I'm a vegetarian not a vegan. And I slip up occasionally. Ans when I do slip up it's usually spam or some kind of hot dog.
Beef is by far in my opinion the tastiest. So these beyond burgers are worth a try?
Myco confession. I've been staring at these bags waiting for them to fold themselves up and put themselves into my 941 for 2 days now. So far nothing. I suppose today I'll give them a hand.

I can dose as much as 7g or so and still get shit done... used to SAB on a 7g tea dose... make more tea while peaking on the first 14g dose... it's doable: if you're gangster!
I would suggest giving it a shot on a day that whatever it is, isn't imperative to complete... just in case... lol, only you will know

Ya, I usually micro dose (~<1g) daily then about 2-4 on Sundays... nothing more only because I have my brother and his family staying with me til they get their new place. My girl and I usually do about 5-7 on sunday, when no one is here...not trying to meet the maker yet... Mon & Tues are my self proclaimed days off, Wed-Fri I make grain, Saturday I prep, then Sunday I dose start making transfers and juicing up my grains with LC, usually starts to set in as I'm finishing up the last of my grains. Then we usually ride our bikes to the beach...

No, I assume you love the fuck out of it. I also try to avoid using social media too much as it greatly affects my mental health. I basically stopped using FB late last year/early this year, because it fucks with my life and mental shit too much. I've learned that I just need to back off from things, so I feel you there. My gf is always on her phone, I give no fucks, but like... I just can't.
Oh, and I don't even use the term "bad" for trips anymore. There's just easy and challenging. You can lean into anything and turn it into something good... it's just challenging. I haven't had a challenging trip in a while. If anything my trips have been really weak lately... I may need to start dosing a little higher. I try to trip every 2-3 weeks and anything below 4-5g just doesn't really hit me any more.
