Yeah he's good. He's had a couple more since then but it seems to only happen if he's really baked. I'm not sure if both mush and weed drop blood pressure or something and hes sensitive to it or what.

I confess I'm still scared to trip after watching my friend have a seizure and hit the dirt with food in his mouth when we were peaking on pan chocolates. This was over 2 years ago now. I thought I had killed him. I need to nut up and eat some soon.
Man, that's heavy. I would just wait until the time is right. Don't force it ya know?
I don't really get any kind of body high on pans like with APE. It's more of a mental and visual rollercoaster. There's the usual drunken kind of body feel, but not any of the good body highs like with APE. APE makes my body vibrate so hard it feels like I am going to pulled apart.

i have experienced something like this. i don't smoke cannabis. anxiety and paranoia are all i ever get from it. one time, tho, i ate a cannabis chocolate bar and a quarter of cubensis. strangest trip i've ever had. i still have sharpie on my walls from it. anyway, at one point, i completely dropped out of reality, hit the floor, and spent no idea how long staring into outer space, unable to move, seeing only a portrait of the jack of diamonds. i wondered later on what i must have looked like. must have looked like a seizure. could have been a seizure.
how did your friend describe these experiences? he remember anything?
oh and i confess. i'm going to be casing some mini pans subs using jiffy mix i pasteurized a week ago.

Crazy. My first 3.5g trip on Amazonian I full on blacked out, I think probably mild seizures though no one remembers exactly except for that I woke up on my back in the mud. I was smoking a ciggy and suddenly pow, nothing. It was full on the most amazing trip of my life after I calmed the f*@# down, but I'm glad I had a support group around at the time who handled it really well.

First mushroom trip i had I ate about 1.5 grams of cubes and I was smoking a bowl while waiting for it to kick in And after about an hour or so i swear to god i saw the fuzzy shape of a person out of the corner of my eye and said out loud oh shit I'm fuckin tripping, well i went inside and I ended up fainting in my living room and woke up to my dad saying he was gonna call an ambulance, I think smoking and mushrooms causes a drop in blood sugar mabye and not blood pressure though because when I saw the fuzzy people I definitely got an adrenaline rush

He doesn't like to talk about it. I've tried to get him to but he won't. I'm not sure what he sees.
Seizures seem somewhat common on mushrooms. I don't think it gets talked about enough. Or whatever you wish to call them. We talk about woodlover paralysis but not this. I think it needs to be.
To keep this on topic. I confess I should have spawned a bunch of jars today but I was too lazy. Tomorrow I'll cook some coir and shake grains.

I confess, I have to remain seated and calm on large doses... if I get up too quickly, or over-stimulated, i get pains in my inner thighs, like my blood pressure is sky rocketing? Nowhere near as bad since I quit smoking cigarettes, and smoking pot actually seems to help in my case... never fell out, but have come REAL close a number of times...

I don't know if blacking out on cubes is like blacking out on acid but if its similar its beautiful and I really only remember bite and pieces of those nights I blacked out on acid.
Was definitely not afraid or scared or any of that wacky introspective thinking. Had no thoughts.
Yeah I get that on fungus too.

I confess. I use the grill for all my myco work. Well, I just set a brick of coir on the grill and put the water on the side burner to boil while I went and grabbed the cooler. Came back after taking more dabs in the garage only to realize my stoned ass turned the grill on not the side burner. Brick was on fire! So I did what any sane person should do. I threw it into the pot of water. Thought about getting a new brick. Said fuck it and proceeded as normal. Lol.

I confess, I'm putting all my mycology work on hold until my flow-hood is finished. (which should be this weekend)
I'm sick of the wild swings in my contam rates. When I first moved in it went up to 40%. After a bunch of work I got it back down to below 10%, then after a couple months w/o contams I suddenly jump back up and this time to 60%! Wtf? I can't win. I just tossed out so many bad plates and jars this weekend that it broke my heart a little. Felt like I've been spinning my wheels. I stuck everything else in the fridge that I am waiting to do work on, slow down the growth a little. I need to clean up about 7 plates now and transfer them away from fucking green nasty mold. I hate this and will probably work with one plate at a time in the SAB.
Quick question on this: all the agar plates have contaminated exclusively around the edges (like the mold grows out in half circles from the edge). When was it most likely these got contaminated and how? Is it from just when I had set the lid on the peti dish or...? These plates didn't even show the slightest hint of contamination for almost 2 weeks...

Part of me wonders if it's because I'm using micro-pore tape to seal my petris... It's free to me so I thought it would be better than saran wrap, but after seeing some of the pictures I've seen lately about how large those micro-pores are I'm having doubts.

APE has been my nemesis as well. I've been trying to grow it out for almost 9 months now! I've gotten failures and reversions, but never apes. I finally ordered a proper syringe a couple months ago, and should have something soon for grains. It's... kinda ridiculous.

For me blacking out on cubes is just like a memory gap. It happened once (89g fresh whoa boy). I had done a few 5g trips and wanted to take it just one step higher. So I prepped the tea, took the dose, laid down in bed... then I basically "woke up" suddenly about 2-3 hours-ish later and everything was very bizzare looking. Everything was head-swapping very quickly (I don't know how to explain, this is really un-characteristic of mushrooms in my experience, but like I looked at my dog and his head rapidly cycled from dog to say human->lizard->bird->etc) same thing happened to my ex when I saw her. I felt pretty sober too, so I was very very confused by it all, very annoyed I couldn't remember anything, and then after trying to get the visuals to calm down for about 30-45 min I gave up and just went to sleep. It wasn't a good or bad experience, just kinda felt like a waste of time

Why? Just to see if it's the container style? I've never done them, but don't like that you can't see your shit clearly in there, so I've never thought to try either.
