Only profit I ever got from shrooms was trading them for buds. Though I’m not sure it can be called profit since that half lb of mush would have lasted me at least 6 months, but the 1/4lb of bud I got for it was gone in less than 2 lol

Doesn’t matter how much you produce if the demand isn’t there though. Who’s gonna buy 20lbs per month lol. That’s almost an lb per day.
Let’s see...say one customer trips once every 2 weeks(average?). An lb a day means (at least) 128 doses sold daily. 128 people every day for 14 days - that’s 1792 people. You think there’s 1792 different people who trip 3.5g every 2 weeks, living in the vicinity of the guy buying 20lbs/month? Idk man...

If you're near a metropolitan area, that's kind of nothing. In the right city, club culture alone can probably consume 20lb in a weekend provided it's encapsulated or in a liquid - I hear MDMA and mushrooms are a fabulous combination. Festivals weekends, you're looking at 10k+ people at one venue.
They sell themselves if they find the right audience.

A weird belief system based on personal experience my friend.
Well, the dealers Ive bought from didnt have the same spiritual mindset. Its a shame that more shroom dealers dont have that same mentality.
Also, im not fond of Ps cyans. Sure they are potent but theres too many side effects with them, at least for me. They feel semi-toxic. I'll stick to homegrown cubes.

I'll just say he has no problem selling all of them, and actually has demand for much much more. He doesn't sell them to people that trip on small amounts.. he sells them to resalers. It's all about network and connections. The Mycelic Network. 💙
There is a HUGE demand for mushrooms right now in USA, probably hundreds of thousands of pounds, of course you gotta know the people that want them to sell them.

True. But look at Bonnaroo, for instance - their low end attendance is 80,000+ for four days. And there are festivals around that scale or larger at least four times a year probably on either coast of the US.
It's like being a commercial fisherman... work for a bit, take a long time off.

People choosing non violent, eco-friendly, community building ways to feed their families and not hurt all the time is everything but wrong. Most people do much worse for their $.

LogicaL Chaos said: I would aruge there is some stigma for me for shroom dealers. Not because they are selling shrooms, but because the shrooms they sell are typically insanely potent and not very friendly on the mind or new comers. Hence Dealer Shrooms.
If Shroom Dealers grew shrooms more like how homegrown shrooms feel (gentle, introspective, friendly, not overly potent, calmer, more spiritual, less chaotic) then I would have more respect for them.
But since Dealer Shrooms (cubenis grown by expert growers for max potency) are so different than the pleasant feel of homegrown, I do have some animosity toward them. Do they even dose themselves? Do you really think that's how the shroom experience should go? I feel like they lack the understanding of their own shroom effects.
I agree the majority of those selling mushrooms have little to no understanding of mycology; either on their own or from a friend find out they can find and follow a tek online and grow enough to sell. Of-course they continue this jump to conclusions behavior and see a few threads stating PE are the most potent, not understanding at all that this is the rare exception to "a cube is a cube". Now they're selling mushrooms that are comparable to a 5 hour DMT trip instead of selling an enjoyable high that one can function on if they'd like to do something other that be "laid up/outta their mind" for the duration of the trip. Now un-intentionally they have actually turned many off to the mushroom experience by overloading them with arguably the most potent variety.
Seen it more than once unfortunately...

I'd argue that most people growing mushrooms have little to no understanding of mycology. It doesn't make them any more or less genuine.
But yeah, I agree with the rest. Dealers with only the intention of dealing the most profitable product are contemptible throughout, no matter the product being dealt.

I meant "the majority growing to sell" got into mushrooms 100% to make money. Instead of consciousness expansion/awareness/helping themselves and/or others, and then got into growing for profit which is much more rare. The latter are the dealers who offer strains and provide what they truly believe will be most enjoyed, and beneficial, while participating in capitalism. In short they put in the work.
