Current situation. Enjoying a nice hot fire with some good whiskey. The Balvenie, 14 year. Caribbean cask. Highly recommend. The 12 year is good too. The shrooms have worn off, my pupils are back to normal and I’ve been nice and relaxed all day since. Feeling good and in a great mood. Optimistic for the future.
Did I mention that I weened myself off of an SSRI thanks to shrooms? Been without that nonsense for over a month now. The SSRI helps with depressive lows with the side effect of feeling boring, dull, uninterested in things. Dead inside. SSRIs should be the schedule 1 drug. Not this stuff. Since I’ve been microdosing and now taken a couple bigger doses, I feel alive again. Human. I’m interested in things I’d lost interest in. 3D printing little dick magnets for example. I’m more patient with my wife and teenage daughter. I have never been bad to them and they love me. But I feel like I’ve been able to put forth even more effort into our relationships and approach things from a more understanding viewpoint. And let the silly, unimportant nonsense go. Good riddance to that SSRI.

Holy cow! (Maybe the one out there somewhere) I don't know how long they last in capsule form but I just had some last weekend that were right at the 3 year mark stored in the freezer. No noticeable loss of potency. Just a ziploc bag in a Mason jar. In hindsight, I'd add a desiccant packet and an oxygen absorber. I'm guessing capsules wouldn't be any different with the psilocybin being pretty stable, but the psilocin might degrade over time with the mushrooms in a ground up state. Someone chime in here and check me on this as I know nothing about capsules. You could make chocolates I guess.
-------------------- Things I've learned so far: Death with consciousness can be boring. Balance is important. Set intentions, not expectations. Sad trips can be helpful as well as challenging trips. Stick with your first dose. We learn more when we listen rather than speak. Be kind. The small moments in life that tend to go unnoticed are sometimes the most beautiful.

Good to know. I have a deep freeze at home. Grinding them up and encapsulating is kind of a pain in the ass. I might dry them out in the dehydrator, and vacuum seal them with a desiccant pack or two. Into the freezer. I don’t want to encapsulate a couple thousand grams in the next month. Lol.

If you stick the capsules in an air tight jar and put them in a dark cool place they'll be good for years.

Would the same be true for just dried shrooms? Vacuum sealed with a desiccant pack, and put into a dark deep freeze?

Yeah, you don't even need to freeze them really. Just a cool dark spot.
