I love it too, my edibles just rot or get dehydrated... I don't eat any kind of mushrooms very often, maybe a couple times a year max

Camera93 said: does anyone else get all squirmy and shit? Its like my body is in fear response but I'm not in any danger. My legs usually feel like jello, very similar bodily reaction to say almost getting in a wreck, or just narrowly escaping some horrible thing. Anxiety central It creates an odd pressure in my head too, that I cant flex and shake off like I would an arm or leg cramp feeling, and the only thing to really mitigate it is to start counting my breathing in and out. If not I get worried about it and it gets worse like my head may pop. Not painful...just unpleasant. But when I can tune into the breathing, I get to kinda sink into the trip better and more enjoyably Its like I'm way to nervous about preconceived potentials with psychedelics. I spend the come up so paranoid/scared that I might completely lose touch with whats real and see actual things happen that arent really happening. Nothing like that ever happens, I don't mean powerful distorted visuals or introspected thoughts (I expect that), but a real loss of touch without realizing it. Anyways maybe I just need more trips to build up the belief that that wont happen.
So, first, you might find people willing to talk more if you take this topic over the the Psychedelic Experience forum. I find it to be a weirder subforum where there's a bit more conspiracy theory happening, but also helpful!
But, I also agree, I keep taking "lower" doses (anything below 5g) thinking it'll be easier on me, but it's always harder. I get really bad leg shakes and shit. I always have some sort of neausea. I've heard it's because your stomach lining is processing the active ingredients through your 5H receptors in the gut. This causes your body to think that something is wrong in the same way that it detects sea-sickness. I'm probably talking out my ass here, this is all hearsay, but it makes sense that it's more of a "fight or flight" response when it's a totally chemical issue. Your body is all like "Something is IN ME and we don't know what it is!" Something about taking 5g+ doses is easier overall.
I was working with a client recently who refused to take more than 2.5g per session because she is taking an MAOI for mental health reasons (St. John's Wort) and those potentiate psilocybin. I finally convinced her to to up the dose when she realized it felt she had taken MDMA, but not enough so she never got "past" the come-up. Caps and others have have been saying low-dose causes more discomfort since I joined here, but I never told anyone I work with about this theory. So when I heard it come from her mouth anyways w/o discussion I think I've realized I just need to take no less than 5g any more. Not like I'm short on fruits or anything

My research says it's a really shitty MAOI. Here's some real technical talk about if it should be classified as an MAO or not. I'm at the point where I'm not sure what it's chemical properties are, but it doesn't appear to potentiate psilocybin.

I confess, I took a chance on composted manure(similar to black kow, yes I pasteurized) and it just did not take. Throwing out about 2 weeks worth of tubs all turning green.

I guess in the 90's there was a bit of a "Beware of the SJW MAOI!" scare tactics going on. They are an MAOI, just, well.. "further research has shown that neither St. John’s wort extracts nor their key chemical compounds are significant MAOIs. The feeble MAOI activity is no longer believed to make a substantial contribution to the therapeutic effect of St. John’s wort."
I spend way too much time looking into this shit. It's interesting how much we really have no clue about as far as chemical interactions with psychedelics.

It's likely psychological if you're getting an effect off chocolate. If you want to do it right get some Syrian Rue extract going!

Yes the effect seems minimal, I'll try that for sure! They call the combo psilohuasca these days if I'm correct?

Yup, there's links to details in that tek. One day I'll actually do this extract with the pound of seeds I bought for doing it

I confess. I've done psilohuasca and I wasn't prepared for .7 cubes and 120mg of harmaline extract to feel like 4-5g's and last 16 hours!! Lol
Also. I confess... a local guy was selling his FH and I couldn't not go pick it up.

Ooo a flowhood is a nice grab!
I dnt knw about maoi's or whatnot, but i take a nasty SNRI and i can't seem to feel more than a bit of a come up, then it's gone...then im hungry! Shrooms make me viscously hungry.
I was powdering fruits and got a snoot full one time, and that actually made me feel like i had taken too much SNRI, which is a very uncomfortable feeling.

Yeah... I'm starting something new every couple of days whether it's agar or grain work. Hoping that I have enough stuff working to satiate my need to meddle soon. These first few boxes are going to be the hardest!

Confession 1:
Feels weird to be using the little pressure cooker for food. Instinctively, I left the rocker off to vent for 10 min 
Confession 1b:
Feels weird to be using the little pressure cooker after eating those few pins from a jar I was putting in the compost. I'm buzzing pretty good. Forgot I ate them. Now family is here expecting supper! Hahaha.
I do that from time to time for fun.

I confess, I have no idea what I am doing with this. I chopped up 30g of fresh pan cyan and tried to make an "ice extract".

Was going to drink it tomorrow....probably should split into two doses maybe?
