I have room in my life for both. That being said I mostly just micro dose about 0.3 every other day or every 3rd day. This truly is a top tier hobby.

Maybe you should stop listening, and just go ahead and ask them if they would please have a word with you. State that you wish to converse with them, and invite them to do so.

I Dont know if I would say they chose me, but I absolutely feel a calling to cultivate. I was raised knowing the difference between right and wrong. I followed a typical american teenage lifestyle. My first mushroom trip showed me the afterlife if I continued that path. It was the most horrifying state. Not fire and brimstone, but a void, an absence of love, of "god". And all because of MY choices. It wasn't until close to 10yrs later that I got back into it. Finding cyans each fall. Now I will never let it go. I feel a duty/calling/responsibility ,whatever you want to call it, to cultiate. I believe mushies teach people the difference between right and wrong. The "bad trip" idea seems to be prevalent around here. I believe its a result of poor lifestyle choices, spiritual confusion, and this may sound weird, but not knowing right from wrong

I trip every couple months..starting with 6g's dry most of the time...I let shit stress me out to the point of needing a trip to unplug from the negative...and it usually helps me for about a month...but the anxiety builds up quickly after that month..then I'm ready for another trip and to see what they have to say about my problems...

I feel as though this is why most people have an adverse prejudice against psy's, and my mates who are inquisitive about it fret about the ALL ANNIHILATING BAD TRIP like its the god dam boogeyman is because a bad trip is 90% of the time a more reflective , introspective one. The same people who wouldn't do a psy would also never see a therapist and have similar denouncements for both.

have a accidental trip. as in you consume by accident and are surprised/horrified by what might happen next. after you grow enough, the sheer volume of mushrooms can become overwhelming. something is bound to happen at some point.
either you forget which bag is which and you eat 17g thinking its the weighed out bag of 3g....oops... or you have hot coco and you cat knocks freshly dried fruits off the top of a open dehydrator.. into the fucking hot coco.. and somehow.. SOMEHOW you dont notice until 45min later when it dawns on you that you are still holding this luke warm cup and a lighter in your hand standing in 1 spot. then you look into that cup and say 'aww shit!!' and pace back and forth going FUCK! fcuk!! FUCK!!
i had to be at work soon so i called my (understanding and chill) boss and proceeded to question everything about tripping and my life style. being drugged by accident by a cat is fucking retarded, or eating the wrong bag is retarded so while you are in hyperspace and asking the 'why is this happening' kinda questions (especially on those higher doses) a benevolent guiding voice in the distance draws me.. this happened both times i 'drugged myself' and as i crawled(these were large doses 17g wrong bag, and the 12g hot coco fun) towards the light i realized that the light was my mushroom grow light. both times the mushrooms were all standing in place but were waving and dancing, begging me to join. i shrunk my self down and danced with my pinning substrates and i grew up with them. i helped them out in so many ways and they helped me too.
the least i could do is grow them

yup. I've had my girlfriend get scared of them because they told her to just die. I told her it wasn't them wanting her dead, it's herself not thinking she deserves life, and that that is the reflection she is getting. She got quite scared of tripping again for a whole while. Luckily, she's up for it again now.
hahahaha, mushboy, good one, cat dosing you up :p

Well I'd probably never see a therapist, but I'll use psyches as my therapist. Who knows what that other persons real/true motives are. Not saying therapy is bad. I just got my mom...
Something like this Mushboy?
A couple weeks ago I tripped that I was going to die in my bed. 2 monos 4' away. A rack of mycelium jars next to me. Leaving behind a wife, kids, great job, nice house, wonderful extended family. To drink a tea and kill myself in bed. Not on purpose of course, but I WAS going to die. I just thought about them finding me and knowing that I killed myself getting "high". So I hugged my wife and drifted to sleep. Reflected, reconnected to people I love, and just took it as a sign to slow the fuck down. A little.

I'm in the same boat, I'd never see a therapist even though I've seen some shit in my life....I watched a dude shoot himself in the head in high school...so it would probably be good for my ass to see a shrink but I don't trust anyone enough to open up about the shit I've been through...mushrooms help me tremendously.. The whole aspect from agar to fruiting and harvesting...makes me happier because I always got something mycology related to be doing...not stuck off in my head all the time...

Just foil... but if I'm going to move it around a fair bit I stuff with poly then add foil on top. Just don't push the poly in too far
