Do you talk to people about shrooms?
#28607535 - 01/02/24 06:25 PM (25 days, 20 hours ago) |

I’ve been an otherwise law abiding citizen my whole life. I’m in my mid 40s. When I got into this, I didn’t think much of it in a legal sense. I’ve been microdosing for a few weeks now and feeling better than I have in 15 years. I started with a couple grow in a bags that were successful and then I found this place and have really jumped in with both feet. Making agar, spore prints, pressure cooking things all day, and pretty much have a mini lab here now.
It occurred to me the other night when I was at a brewery I frequent that maybe I should keep my mouth shut. I told somebody when we were talking about smoking weed (legal here) that I was growing shrooms. My wife who is already on the fence about this whole thing, about fell out of her stool. Ha! But it hit me that this stuff is a serious offense. I have no idea how it would be enforced here if caught. I don’t leave my house with it.
What precautions do you all take and should I take? I’m guessing that on this forum, I should keep details about myself TO myself, right? I have absolutely no idea if anybody is looking into people doing this. I’m a small fish I figure.
But so far, this seems like the best thing I’ve done for myself in years. I’m weening off of an SSRI, feeling happy, energetic and motivated. The SSRI I have been taking for a couple of years was killing my libido, and just making me feel flat and boring. I’m interested in things again. Why this stuff is still illegal I have no idea. I know there are movements in the USA to legalize or at least decriminalize.
In the meantime, I’m just figuring that I should keep my mouth shut when talking to family and friends that I feel wouldn’t understand. My parents for sure. And when discussing online, keeping identifying info to myself, right? I suppose if the man was out to get me, they could figure it out through computer science or something.

I live in Canada, and I would not imagine any authorities worrying about people growing small amounts of mushrooms, its pretty much unenforced here. Not sure about the states. Saying that I do not go telling every Tom, Dick and Harry that I am growing them, especially my family who definitely wouldn't understand.
My wife was a cop for a few years, and quit because she hated it. She told me in the years she was a cop she never once stopped someone with mushrooms on them. Pretty much every other common drug, but never shrooms. Seems to me because generally people doing shrooms are not out and about causing shit. Id say just keep it between you and people you really trust for now, but chances of it ever coming back around to hurt you is slim to none.

Constantly. I never shut the fuck up about mushrooms. The guy at the gas station hates me.
Seriously tho, I don't know you or your land or the laws that rule - only you can assess your own risk, but...

Thanks y'all. Makes sense. The guy I told is a buddy of mine. His girlfriend too. He was saying that he had tried shrooms once and loved it but didn't know where to get them. That's when I mentioned it. I trust him. My next door neighbor and his wife know but they're good friends of ours. We had our house built next to theirs. His wife is partaking in the shrooms as well. HA! A friend in a different state told me about it and grows his as well as another friend I have in town that I knew would be interested and he's growing his too.
My parents though... in their 70s. My dad would not understand at all. He talks all the time about how weed is a gateway drug to meth and silly nonsense like that. He doesn't know I do that either. HA! My parents are divorced. My mom I think would be understanding but I'm just not going to bring it up. Problem is, when other family is around, she always wants to give them a tour of MY house! I am going to grow some Lion's Mane and maybe some gourmet mushrooms too as a cover. lol!

remember people love a reason to gossip. Everyone has different levels of acceptance. And that can switch real fast when they want some dirt on you. Keep it tucked away. You have shroomery.

My parents are the same. Ive seen my dad drunk as a skunk and do some sketchy shit like drive, etc. Weed, shrooms to him are the same as heroin and crack, complete stupidity.
Don't grow gourmets as a cover, grow them because they are good mycology practice and fuckin delicious!

When one discovers mushrooms and how useful they can be it can be hard to resist the urge to tell others about them. Especially once you try them and you realize they are not the terrible drug you were told they were (no, they don't make you jump out of windows). I'd say resist that urge and keep it to yourself. Don't tell a single soul about them. Don't sell, don't gift them. If you need to talk about your experiences, you have plenty of people here to talk with.
Only my wife knows. Nobody else. I told my brother once but he lives in another country and I trust that he will keep it secret. Just like you inadvertently told others, they can also inadvertently (or intentionally) disclose it to third parties. Don't risk it. If someone is interested in mushrooms, you can mention the shroomery but don't tell them that you grow them. If they want to grow mushrooms they have all the information needed here.

Don't tell anyone. Like mentioned above, people might use this information against you in the future for whatever reason and that includes people you fully trust at this point in time. Trust me, I made the same mistake and regret it bitterly. If you grow, the best thing you can do is to keep it to yourself and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Lots of excellent advice here. My lips are sealed! As for growing gourmet shrooms, I definitely plan to eat them too! I also enjoy the mycology work so, I’ll make just as good of use out of the gourmet ones too.

Good plan to grow gourmets too. I've been doing this more lately too. That way you still get to talk about your passion and have cover for weird purchases.

Yeah they don't act on rumors. I've had people tell cops I grew shrooms with me there too. The cops just laughed and moved on. No need to be cocky though.

People will do that. They'll make stuff up about you as well. Delt with those kinds of people my whole life
I've been pretty well known to always be tripping on mushrooms and lsd. Those are the best drugs
One of this dudes first days at one of my jobs. He took his cell phone out and showed me his friends mushroom grow. We hadn't even ever really talked much before. Lol
I just said damn nice shrooms they were really big nice bulk grow
I've had people approach me and they just know I like psychedelics. To straight up say you like psychedelics don't you ?

The wrong person will rat you to get off a posession charge, and vindictive exes will use it to harm you. It's really best not to tell anyone unless you are married to them imo.

I talk about growing gourmets all the fucking time. It's a massive hobby of mine to grow mushrooms now. If someone points out I could also be growing psychoactive ones, I usually go "Naaaaaaaaaaah, that would be illegal. :^)"
Plausible deniability all the way.
Once people know me and I trust them, I'll be honest about it of course. I'm not particularly worried, though - I don't sell 'em, don't give them to kids, and don't give them to people who'd use them in some shitty manner. Breaking the law, but being moral about it, tends to keep the cops at bay.

I don't tell people.
I'd probably be fine if I told a couple, but what would I gain?
Never assume that some cop's boss wouldn't give him a pay on the back for cleaning up a "drug manufacturing house".

Only you can assess the situation where you live, and with the people in your life. And there's always an inherent risk.
I tell loads of people. Sometimes I get people who say "whoah, be careful who you tell." Sometimes that leads me to dial it back just a bit.
I don't believe that I live in an area or situation where I need to worry about it. But also, I don't fucking care. This shit needs to be normalized stat. And there are obviously a lot of people sticking their necks out way further than I am. I'm a few years older than you, and never been to jail. But all the times I've come close had nothing to do with growing shrooms or selling weed or flipping sheets. It was always dumb shit, and not having my act together. I resolve to live the rest of my life in a more coherent manner. If my social and moral universe is correct and intact, then I have little fear of arrest. But also, I could spend ten years keeping my head down and watching my ass, and still just end up dying or becoming an invalid. I'm not wasting any more of my life worrying about the Feds, getting mugged in a foreign country, etc. I'll be six feet under in a few decades either way. And also, I think it's time to stand up to this bullshit.
That said, everyone in my immediate family is cool with all this stuff. Though my dad definitely raised me on the 60's mentality of "watch your back and tell no-one." But he's come around to understanding that it's the future now, and you really don't need to still be that way unless you happen to live in one of America's more Fascist jurisdictions.
I actually feel like I need to be MORE careful about what I say here, because I don't even know who I'm talking to. (Gettimg doxxed by a lunatic is a far more worrisome prospect than a knock on the door from Barney Fife.) And because there's stuff that would go against the forum rules, or perhaps just give the wrong impression to a wider audience of strangers.

Lots of interesting takes here! Thanks for all of the advice. My wife and I have been married for over 25 years. Hopefully she won’t rat me out! I definitely won’t be selling any and I’d only share with my most trusted friends if they asked. One did and I share with her. She’s responsible though and I have directed her here to read. She’s just micro dosing for now.

People openly sell shrooms & dmt through posting on instagram and facebook in the usa now. For years
I think that's pretty wild
Where it's actually legit and they openly advertise it with their face on video and everything
Had dinner with one of them just a few weeks ago and hit his dab rig. Nice people always have been
It's smart not to tell anyone. I never even made a post about growing. But enjoy making some kind of trip reports is all
More interested in mushroom hunting I'm not bad at getting the ID of a hand full, spot on.
If there's a look alike right after I move some grass or leafs around it. You can instantly tell clear as night or day it's that easy. Once you know you know

It didn't get on the ballot by not talking about it. And now I can talk about it openly worry free.
