How would shroomers in the 90s get thei5 spores in syringes to grow shrooms?

I get my spores in syringes online, but I was born in 1996 and have no memory of internet use in the 90s or early 2000s, if you're 90s kid to early 2000s teenager or adult how did you get your spore syringes? Did they have websites back them where you could buy shroom spores in syringes like today?

There were websites. For example, Sporeworks has been around since the 90s.

This website has also been around since the 90s. Psylocybe Fanaticus started selling spore syringes in 1991 through the High Times magazine. It was mail order, you would send cash in an envelope to an address with a specified return address.

I get my first Golden Teacher spore print at 2002 or 2003 from a person from this site, also sporeworks and some other sites you can order online, also you can buy prints in Amsterdam coffee shops, a friend bought from coffee shop at 2000 if I remember correctly.

Not coffee shops, but you can in smart shops. These also used to sell shrooms until 2009. Now they just sell truffles.

Cash in mail is fun. I used to mail 100$ bills to the Netherlands for years for pot seeds. Just regular snail mail and the cash made it everytime for years
Had some gems out of those seeds. Some of the best weed I've ever had or seen still to this day. Where it didn't smell like weed but unreal of all kinds of terps
Had chocolate rain was a nice one Cheesberry haze and stuff

I remember a time when I was about 14-15 printing out the entire magic mushroom growers guide on my parents computer (my Dad caught me). I remember that particular guide was on how to do it with rice cakes in a kind of coke bottle 'poor mans' terrarium though they outlined a better method that I can't remember (I focused on poor man for obvious reasons) now. But I don't think the PF tek or bulk growing was really a thing at that point (though I might be wrong). Those teks were pretty revolutionary I think.

Pf tek has been around from the beginning IME. Im ashamed to admit it now, but I stole my parents' credit card when I was a teenager to buy a spore syringe and grow pf tek shrooms. Was my first introduction to psychedelics. Definitely set me apart from my peers at a young age. For better or worse.

I bought my first spores from a dude who ran a bong shop back around 2000. Asked around my connects until I got introduced to the guy. Made some crazy fishtank grow but succeeded in getting shrooms. Was pretty dope.

I sent cash to a PO box run by Psilocybe Fanaticus. The first tek I know of was the magic mushroom growers guide, which was based of the PF tek. That guide and the spore sales made a huge impact

I started around 86-87 with a Homestead Book Company kit. No syringes. You had to do it the old fashioned way. We actually used the telephone and wrote letters to each other too.

Back in the late 80s you could order Ketamine too from the back of many catalog supplier companies. Not so much High Times, more legit ones, but I heard from someone who was like 14 and found it in the back of a supply catalog for their school. They just filled in the form, sent it with enclosed cash, and got Ketamine vials back in the mail.
He didn't know to evaporate them, so he snorted the liquid or drank it hehe.
I hope I live to see the day where we can do that again. Just order ketamine and exotic mushroom spores from catalogs in the mail without worry, I think some states will do that soon enough.

I got about 25 grams of DXM in the mail during the early 00's. That was a crazy few months. Put me off DXM and dissociatives for life though!

High Times was probably the easiest way to find spores in the 90s for people with very limited experience or contacts. More than one source like Homestead and PF, as mentioned by others.
Also, not everyone started with syringes. If you scored some fruits you could harvest the spores directly. Just took a little cleaning up.

Really? Because dxm is quite a shitty dissociative, I wouldn't discount the entire class of drugs based on some experience with a shitty one. You do you tho

I tried Ketamine too when I was younger. The main thing I didn't like about dissociative's (though a little mixed with x could be heavenly) was how I felt so out of control when on them! I could be in hyperspace on DMT utterly incapacitated but would still feel completely sober and present. With dissociatives most of my mind/body (excepting a small specific part that was enhanced) felt literally retarded.
As you say, each to his own, I just preferred psychedelics!

I can see that. Oddly enough for me ketamine (at least clean s isomer) makes me feel like I'm the best version of myself and am able to think clearer and be way more social than I actually am. I feel like with a lot of unclean stuff going around it's harder to achieve that good of an experience anymore.

Ketamine quality varies so much beyond even isomeric ratios. The black market lowest grades from Taiwan and stuff will never give you a good experience, at least for me, and just provided numbing retarding disassociation symptoms. As well it's way harder on your body and will cause worse scarring and pH issues.
Even many isomeric ratios of pharma ketamine I don't like very much, but it's always pretty clean. Some of the more racemic ones could last a long time though like anasket.
But brands like Ketanest S- were pure mental bliss and not physically incapacitating at all. And then other brands like Calypsol or Ketmin are physically heavy, but the K holes that can result are peak experiences.
Take ~150ug of LSD and around 6 hours in IM about 80mg or so of Ketamine depending on tolerance. The breakthrough that occurs is so wonderful, I'm preparing myself mentally for the next one I take.

Wasn't aware of that! Ketanest S huh! Might try to dark web some, one day!
