Denver Is About to Vote on Magic Mushrooms; What the Heck Are They? CONOR MCCORMICK-CAVANAGH | APRIL 18, 2019 | 7:12AM Facebook Twitter email Print Article AA On May 7, Denver voters will decide on whether to decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms. What is this mysterious fungus, and how can you get your hands on it? Allow us to take you on a trip through mushroom legend and lore...
What are psychedelic mushrooms?
ADVERTISING
A fungus that produces a compound called psilocybin. When ingested, psilocybin mainly interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, creating mind-altering effects. Magic mushrooms might give consumers a sense of openness or, as some describe it, a childlike curiosity. They’ve also been known to facilitate deeper connections to both nature and other people.
RELATED STORIES How Psilocybin Advocates Grew Denver's Trippiest Ballot Initiative Confusion Over Right to Survive Initiative Isn't Easily Put to Rest Denver Mayoral Candidates on Major Issues Confronting the City They can also cause negative emotions, like paranoia or anxiety. But proponents say that these symptoms could offer insight into one’s emotions and can even be cathartic.
Denver Is About to Vote on Magic Mushrooms; What the Heck Are They? Anthony Camera How do people grow them?
Psychedelic mushrooms have been federally illegal since 1970. But just because psilocybin is classified as a Schedule I drug doesn’t mean mushrooms have disappeared; they’ve simply gone underground.
Experienced users say magic mushrooms are simple to grow, and the spores are actually legal in all states but Georgia, California and Idaho. Coloradans can purchase spores online and start growing mushrooms themselves — illegally.
There are a variety of ways to grow mushrooms at home. Here’s one: Combine vermiculite with rice flour and a bit of water in a glass jar. Poke small holes in the lid of the jar and cover with foil. Sterilize the jar in a pressure cooker, then inject the psilocybin spores through the holes in the lid. Put the jar in a dark space and wait until the spores have fully colonized, which takes a few weeks. You’ll know it’s done when a white fluffy mass overtakes the inside of the jar.
Put the contents of the jar into a small glass aquarium. Keep humidity in the aquarium above 85 percent, make sure fresh air is flowing and expose the mound to some light. Sit back and let them grow.
How do you eat them?
IF YOU LIKE THIS STORY, CONSIDER SIGNING UP FOR OUR EMAIL NEWSLETTERS. SHOW ME HOW Fresh or dry. When the time feels right to expand your mind, you can break the mushrooms into pieces and eat them or just eat them whole. You can also eat them with food, like in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a smoothie, or brew them in a tea.
Newbies to mushrooms often complain of stomach issues. To avoid an upset stomach, run the mushrooms through a coffee grinder so that the fungus is broken down as much as possible before consumption. For those with particularly sensitive stomachs, drinking orange juice could help with digestion.
Micro or macro?
Some people like to macrodose mushrooms, meaning they consume larger quantities at once and trip. Others prefer microdosing, ingesting smaller amounts more frequently so the experience is less intense. Users say that microdosing can combat depression, anxiety and ADD, stimulate creativity and increase productivity.

For people who cant eat raw mushrooms, it should be emphasized to take it in tea (i know its mentioned) and not as capsules or anything with raw fungal material. When i first ate shrooms i was in alot of pain. But tea stopped all that

I do hope it passes but I also hope they are smart about it. Would be a shame for Denver to handle it wrong and create negative precedence when other states decide to vote. The first state to legalize will have to handle it correctly so other states aren't scared to consider it when it comes time for them voting... Unfortunately psychedelics aren't for everyone especially to people who may have psychological problems from the get go (this almost applies to any mind altering drug including alcohol). All it would take is a few people doing something stupid. Law enforcement finds it in there systems and it wont matter if they were intoxicated at the time or not. The crime would immediately be painted onto psychedelics. I can already see the headlines on NY times. "Magic Mushrooms can lead to Trafficking Heroin!" Lol sounds stupid but its happened in Europe when they accused mushrooms of being responsible for the owner murdering his dog. They don't bring up the fact or even entertain that maybe the dude was batshit to begin with.

Tea still fucks my stomach up. It's really gotten me to stop taking mushrooms in general and switch to LSD. Have a tea tek you like? Wouldnt mind trying it.

You can make a tincture with everclear 190. Do 2- 24 hour pulls then Evaporate it down so that 1cc=1g of mushrooms. This will fix your problem 😊👍.. Some people get sick from every psychedelic even LSD.

Ever try using ginger and or lemon in the tea? That can be great for upset stomaches in general. Also a tad of honey can be nice.

Are you boiling it for long enough? Cause tea stops the stomach pain for me, but i boil for 30 mins even an hour. The fungal matter is no longer raw but the psilo(s) are def in the water
If this was not the case i wouldnt be fucking with mushrooms at all. And actually LSD gives me headaches sometimes, particularly when its like 300ug coming up all at once. Usually subsides after i smoke, but then the trip goes nuts too. But yeah, if you make tea for just 5 mins to 15 like some recipes it might still be raw-ish
Stomach pain was a Huge problem for me, really couldnt enjoy eating shrooms. Would be so painful cant even focus on the trip. Making tea, oh and always using an infuser so that the mushrooms arent just floating around in there (prolly get some cooked spores but oh well, doesnt seem to matter), remove after 30-45 mins and drink tea. I also usually add a peppermint tea, doubt it changes anything. Sometimes i just like to taste the mushy tea on its own too
Try cooking for around that time and see if it helps with the stomach issues. From what i read, its related to chitin

I think the point we are trying to make here is they are already available and we will handle this mushroom business ( underground!). it would even make the shroomery almost obsolete soooooo. tell them to grow corn. I doubt this would cause much influence anyways. they need to just stay the hell out of our business

Shall the voters of the City and County of Denver adopt an ordinance to the Denver Revised Municipal Code that would make the personal use and person possession of psilocybin mushrooms by persons twenty-one (21) years of age and older the city's lowers law-enforcement priority, prohibit the city from spending resources to impose criminal penalties for the personal use and personal possession of psilocybin mushrooms by persons twenty-one (21) years of age and older, and establish the psilocybin mushroom policy review panel to assess and report on the effects of the ordinance?

Shroomery wouldnt be obsolete. Youd need to get good info somewhere and this is a large mush community. Just cause MJ is legal doesnt mean you dont need to learn how to grow it. Sure, you can take pay for psilo growing classes lol, which im sure will exist if denver does legalize mushrooms. Its a reality i really do wanna see. If one city does this, could have a great effect

I agree. There are plenty of legal hobbies with online communities. I'm a drummer, drums are legal, and I hang out on drum forums too.

I want recreational shrooms. Skip the decriminalizing and go right for the recreational. Make shroom shops, or sell them at marijuana shops.
