growing paranoia
    #25940787 - 04/17/19 11:28 PM (5 years, 8 months ago)

It always happens a bit but I seem to be getting a bad dose right now.

Anytime I start growing, long before I have any harvest, I get the impression that total strangers know exactly what the fuck I'm doing - with those bags of grain, with those Sterlite containers, with those bales of coir, and so on.  It drives me nuts

Today I went to get 4 Sterilite 16 qts on sale at less then $2.89 each 'cause I want to try what I'll call "low-rider monos" - where I can put the 16 qts side by side to equal a 64 qt mono only with less headroom, and stack them up as needed for no-care growth.  'Cause even after thinking on it I can't see where the headroom is really needed, so long as the airflow is good, since these 16 qts have enough for a few inches of sub and normal sort of shroom height, and hell, if they grow taller they can just bend over (PEs always do anyway) it isn't going to hurt shit.  And it doesn't expose as much sub per tub to contams which always seem to bite me in monos which is why I went to mini-tubs years ago in my FC.  Here's the comparison:



But there I am with these innocent tubs out in the parking lot unlocking the car and some sketchy dude about 25 feet away is smoking a cig and talking (I thought!) on his phone - then I realize he thinks he's talking to me 'cause he's watching me do this.  Like "Have a good TRIP!"  and shit like that, like he fucking KNOWS what those containers are fated to become.  And then I'm leaving and he's like "Good TALKING to you" and I'm thinking "Dude you have serious mental problems."

But this isn't the first time this has happened which is why I mention it.  I used to get it worse even, but I thought I'd gotten over it.  I mean all I'm doing here is committing a felony and liberating my mind.  Not like that's at all unusual.  :laugh2:

What y'all think?

:goodday:

Lol Sounds like you are paranoid like normal from bud or psychdelics, or maybe you have some type of schizotypal personality disorder and you should not be doing shrooms lol.

I'm sure you are fine though, normal anxiety like experiences which could be brought on by committing high crime, as long as you aren't having similar experiences in normal life.

Actually I'm sober for years and as stable as ever in my life. :lol:

But this kind of thing, I'm not thinking about the criminal aspects of it at all, I was just joking about that part.  That used to bother me maybe twenty years ago.  But know I'm basically a semi-pillar of the community going about my business...except...

Thought it'd be something good to discuss as it seems to affect a lot of people on here.  :solidnod:

Yeah well I notice this is a kind of weird synchronicity I get where strangers seem to suss my motives out.  This one just got under my skin so to speak.

I did spend much of a year schizoid as hell from a concussion decades ago.  Maybe you never really get over it.  But that wasn't paranoia.  I quit weed a long time ago 'cause it always made me break out in paranoia's.  Plus, well I was growing it and it wasn't legal like it is now.  :laugh2:

Ah fuck concussions are total pits.  This was to my frontal lobe on the left side and I lost the ability to plan anything, as well as all kinds of weird stuff happened.  Total strangers would come up on the street and tell me things I somehow needed to know. If I smoked dope it was always highly hallucinogenic, and my eyes would change color. Synchronicity took over big time.  Not only did I experience the weird stuff people I knew commented on it as well straight up.  It was like a completely different world, but in many ways it got me started on research into psychedelic states and what they do to reality around you. 

Many of my early heavy trips were heavily paranoid as well, but that eventually went away.  Nothing bad ever happened. :shrug:

Now I need to grow quite a bit due to the research I'm continuing with, which takes high doses multiple days for weeks (yeah hell of a job but WTF).

I'll run through a kg of fresh every week or so at that rate, made into tea and frozen, so my FC has trouble with the capacity when I start expanding bulk.

It's sort of like there's this weird universe right next door where it happens all the time but people choose to live in the normal one...

I found this dosing method out by experimentation and just following the trips where they led.  There's at least a few people out there with experience of mega-dosing like this and if you can handle it it's really pretty useful.  Not a perma-trip but something significant.  Actually closer to 2 lbs a week fresh weight.  If it wasn't for the tea it couldn't be done, at least not by me. :lol: I've got to perfect a reliable stack-and-neglect tub approach for this so I can expand it enough.  Right now I'm concentrating on cleanest spawn and so far so good.

primal soup, we have things in common. i can't smoke cannabis anymore, after being high for years, because all i get from it anymore is paranoia. galloping waves of paranoia. cannot deal. makes me sad, because i loved it before.

plans for building the undetectable grow space in my house. i also got over it. of course, i'm piling onto my space right now for a visit from an hvac contractor. would be nice to not need to do this.

and getting the creeps from normies who just have to know what i'm up to. i now run through a narrative in my head as i'm out shopping of what i'm using everything for. keeping that running makes for quick, credible responses when anyone asks questions. i know nothing about horses, "these oats? oh i'm experimenting with using them for home brewing. say, you know where i can find some barley feed?" "oh these tubs? my niece's science project. something about potatoes on mars, idk." "these jars? i use them for flower arrangements for friends and family. way cheaper than vases."  sketchy fucker in the parking lot. find another place to shop.

one thing is certain. this hobby has made me a much better liar.

I have an outside shed but I still need to cook soak and prep all my shit in the house I do the same jack.. people have asked me all the time do you have chickens ? Or why did you have 3 pressure cookers ?? Once when I used to boil grain a repair guy asked if I made hooch cause he would buy some lmao .. I said no I feed my goats with it yeah I know they are spoiled but I figured it will help their teeth woth the softer grain ..

I have a "hidden" room as my fruiting area.  My house got robbed once and the robbers never touched the area, they were definitely in there.  There's a desk in that room.  All the drawers in the desk were pulled out and laying upside down and laying on the floor. There was also a couple computers stolen from that room. 

I was paranoid though, when I called the cops to make a police report.  It was winter and there was about 8 inches of snow on the ground so out into the snow the contents of the bin got tossed. 


Cop never even looked in that room.  But I was terrified of being the victim and still catching a criminal case.  Alls well that ends well

Picking up bags of millet from a bird store I always get asked what its for. Apparently I dont look like an avid bird watcher... a couple times ive just straight told them, "oh I grow mushrooms." Once the lady was like, "Oh I know you. You work at the Co-op downtown." I just laughed, said nope, and walked out without any further explanation.
Honestly though im used to it, I look like a bum and dont seem to belong anywhere especially Jo-Ann's buying polyfill and flower drying crystals. So getting weird looks and questions is a constant to me. I just act really happy and engage with people even though I hate shopping and generally being in public.
I feel the paranoia creeping in sometimes around the house, but if it ever becomes too much I'll just quit. Ive grown in a lot more sketchy places then I am in now. Having a house and a yard is so much better then some basement apartment and having to take spent subs/contaminated jars out to the dumpster under the cover of darkness.


--------------------
A human race with more highly developed spiritual capacities, with expanded consciousness of the depth and the incomprehensible wonder of being, would also have greater understanding of and better consideration for the biological and material foundation of life on this earth, Above all, for Western people with their hypertrophied rationality, the development and expansion of a direct, emotional experience of reality, unobstructed by words and concepts, would be of evolutionary significance.

Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined.

I don't really get the paranoia in the community :shrug: I mean, I'm not saying that you shouldn't be or anything, but I always assume people have no clue what the fuck anyone else is doing. Like, if I watched someone do what you're talking about I may internally think that in a kinda "that'd be neat!" way.

I live in a major city and do my mycology work in front of windows in the open. I assume no one knows what I'm doing even if they see me.

I would think its mostly people growing pounds and pounds that get paronoid, some people run 20+ 66 quart tubs and id probably be paranoid as fuck. I run around 6 plus shoeboxes and a gh but that's not so bad:shrug:

That's a good point, I do forget that we have some here who run deep. I run about 8-16 shoeboxes for actives and a couple dozen muda bottles for gourmets. The edibles are starting to take over since I can actually do something with most of those :wink:

When I was last growing seriously I got to the point where I didn't feel any sort of paranoia which is where I want to go back to.  It's nobody's business what I'm doing or why I'm buying what I'm buying.  I just do what I do and never sell any product (but I do give it away).

I smoked weed for a long time but mushrooms, bless 'em, made me choose one day - it or them.  I chose them and never looked back.

The sketchy fucker - I really thought he was a panhandler taking a cig break, you know, and thought he could get in my face.  But maybe he really was on the phone and talking to somebody else entirely. Doesn't matter.  I'm sure though he wasn't a messenger from God. :laugh2: 

Anyway that was then this is now and I'm sorted again.  I needed to discuss it somewhere with people who understood.

I go away from cult a couple years and come back and shoeboxes are suddenly on point. :aliceshocker:

I think I'll just see how they do with my usual 3" of sub.  PE always wants to lay down on the job anyway, lazy fucks.  :laugh2:

Airflow's my only concern.  In a regular tall mono you've got high and low which sets up a slight draft. I figure that becomes a few inches here. Maybe put low holes on one side and high on the other... At least they stack nice, I can get 16 in the dining room under the window without blocking anything.  I like how cheap they are and they can go get stored in the attic off season.

Ahh nothing like someone pulling into the neighbors driveway causing the lights to blast through the windows while tripping balls in the dark causing ya to jump up and go into fight or flight mode.

I remember buying quart jars from the dollar store and the clerk is like, "little late for canning don't ya think?".

So I replied, "best storage containers since the 1800's.". :derfase:

Most hair raising is when four of my wifes law enforcement relatives were up. Her sister saw my gourmet and medicinal mushroom book and started inquiring, "Oh you grow mushrooms?".

"Trying", I replied, "but all I've gotten was mold. Was hopeing on growing some reshi, enoki and hopefully portabellas some day but I don't think I have what it takes."

"Oh cool", everyone exclaimed, then I diverted the focus on how wonderful the Chaga mushroom is, ending the growing topic.  :hotdamn:

I leave no mycology books out anymore and honestly don't even mention the topic to outsiders. Particularly since that one family got raided for posting morel mushrooms on facebook last year.

That is probably my biggest paranoia; mention mushrooms, cultivation in the same sentence and everyone gets all sorts of crazy assumptions.

Yeah Iv disowned our government, doesn’t matter republican, democratic, or other... I don’t want any part of that shit haha. It is fucked up how they get away with shit like that, I need to collect from someone but it’s not worth the jail time I would get if I went and took care of business. Good people get fucked over because we can’t take law into our own hand even if needed :shrug:

Anytime I start growing, long before I have any harvest, I get the impression that total strangers know exactly what the fuck I'm doing - with those bags of grain, with those Sterlite containers, with those bales of coir, and so on.  It drives me nuts. 



I've had the same experience. I had an inspection by the city and it occurred to me later that I had some coir bricks, a big sack of vermiculite, a dehydrator, a couple empty mason jars all in plain sight. Next thing you know I'm plunging substrates down the toilet :grin:

Yeah.  My garage - which isn't always closed and locked - likely contains probable cause for a search warrant. But you can't see it from the street.

Of course if I haven't got anything it's all totally innocent to me.  Coir, peat, vermiculite, gypsum, tubs...who cares.

It occurred to me awhile back that you could use paint cans - you can buy them empty - to store dried shrooms in.  Toss in a block of dry ice, let it evaporate, then knock the lid down tight.  Label it "leftover green trim" "leftover bath trim" "leftover penis envy".  Air tight and cracker dry they should keep forever.  Blow some dust on the lids for best effect.

It's funny you mention the lowrider tubs. I have a couple of them and recently have been considering trying that out. If the mushrooms run out of space they'll probably just lift the lid.

:ilold:

I've sometimes ran out of headroom even in the tall FC, but some strains are leggy and others are compact.  KSSS hobbits for instance.  You could run 2 inches of headroom and never reach the lid...

If I were selling I'd feel concerned, but I don't even have any friends I'm so solitary so I'm not worried.

It's mostly not about the realistic paranoia about growing, obviously, 'cause that never stopped anybody SFAIK. 

It's about the tripping paranoia that isn't realistic at all but spills over into regular life.  :laugh2:

But if you don't have any of either, feel fortunate.  :goodday:

Doing endless Ketamine can make you as paranoid as can be while running keys.

You make a great point and I spoke to soon. I haven't had any since I started growing, which is why I'm growing. Will find out pretty soon I reckon.

My paranoia went down greatly when I stopped drinking booze, and now that I only smoke weed when my day is over and I’m zoning out on a movie or a book. I used to only run a couple tubs at a time but I figure as long as I’m breaking the law I might as well make it worthwhile. Also helps to be friendly with the neighbors and everyone knows I grow gourmet mushrooms so I’m kinda hiding in plain sight if that makes any sense. Its a stupid law anyways and I figure the only way to change it is to break it and get as many people as possible to try them and realize the good they can do. I also live in a place where prohibition on cannabis and secrecy were the norm for decades so people don’t ask too many questions because they don’t want to be asked back.

Worst case scenario is a court date and some fines. Which would suck but not really that big of a deal if you have a relatively clean record. :shrug: and unless you’re a complete asshole most people even if they do know aren’t gonna report you, and unless you’ve got piles of spent sub in your front yard popping out boomers its pretty low key.

I'm very open about my cultivating. Most of my good friends and some co workers know about it. I live in a very small town.. like 250 people lol
Every now and then when I'm realllllyyyy stoned I get paranoid but it never stops me or makes me hide my shit... But I'm also not pumping out massive amounts like some of you guys.

EDIT: Also.. the closest police station is 50km away and most people in my town hate the cops lol they come out for log weekends and shit but mostly just trying to catch drunk drivers.

I make no secret of it either, to people that I know or meet.  Pretty much everybody, that is. 

Doesn't help with the random incident of paranoia though...just makes you go "hmmm?"

IRL I give off this tripped out aura much of the time which, uhm, some people (like me for instance) can read. But they're always the good ones. :shrug:

Lol I ways get this weird paranoid feeling every once and again and think about throwing everything away.

But then, once I trip.. I know why I do what I do. I dont sell. I give some away to close friends but they don't know where they came from. I just tell them I have a buddy who hooks me up with $50 ounces so I can justify giving them 8ths no problem without question lol.

I do take standard precautions.. dont throw anything in my trash. Don't talk about it. I feel like the only way you can really get fucked is if you get caught selling or get turned in by someone who doesn't like you. And even then, they would need proof of something.

I always make myself feel better when I run that in my head lol
