shiznit, i dont disagree withanything you said, I just wanted to comment about your logo. it says, "marijuana info", but do you really know anything more about marijuana than the average joe? Do you consider your self to be a marijuana enthusiast? Are you a connissuar of fine cannabis and hashish? Do you know much about the 10,000 year history between marijuana and man. Are you aware of the social, cultural, politcal and spiritual impact marijuana has had on civilization and society over the centuries? Just wondering ;) check out jack herrers book, the hempire wheres no clothes

maybe it's because lots of people (most of the people i know) don't truely understand how shrooms work.
they think that anything that can "mess you up THAT bad" has to be doing it by killing half your brain and turning you into a freak.
i find that when i start explaining how neurotransmitters work, and how psilocin affects them, that they become more interested in the actuall experience.
in short: it looks like all the anti-drug propaganda actually does have an anti-drug effect.

Holographic Mind, you said:
"Do you consider your self to be a marijuana enthusiast?"
-I am to the best of my ability... What I mean is that I do as much "good" for marijuana as I can... I send letters, educate my peers, etc. I like marijuana. I want to spread the "good news" about it. Although I have never actually grown it, I consider myself to be a "newbie enthusiast".
"Do you know much about the 10,000 year history between marijuana and man. Are you aware of the social, cultural, politcal and spiritual impact marijuana has had on civilization and society over the centuries?"
- I'm not the most educated person out there, but I do consider to know more than the average "joe". I learn as much as I can about weed, and I'm sure that the learning will go on indefinitely...
BTW, the picture that says "marijuana info" in my info. is the title of my MJ web-site...
<a href="http://www.angelfire.com/art/dank"> Click here to view it... </a>
The site is not done yet, and wont be for a while, but basically I created it to let others know the truth about MJ. I'm sick and tired of all the lies concerning marijuana, and if my site changes one person's mind about weed, then I believe that it served its purpose...
I hope that you did not take offense to my marijuana info pic... It's just representing my site... Peace.

Yeah I've been to Jack's site, and I've glanced over the various chapters of his book, but haven't read it all yet... It seems to be a great book, and I am planning to buy it sometime this month...

I mean that i know that shrooms are less intenst, and shrooms are not as long lasting as acid.
But its a general fact that shrooms have a less tendence to have a good trip then acid. Im not saying that there difference in that way, im saying that in a small percenage, say that they have had more bad trips on shrooms then acid! Even though its shorter, doesn't mean that your going to have a good trip, i understand its a mind-set!
Plus shrooms are very hard to find even in big citys, so growing is the best way to get them!

Where I'm from people will pay almost anythnig for mushies. Coke is easier to get!
Back in the 60's you could get a vile of POTENT psilocybin extract which would only require a few drops on the tounge for a hefty experience. I think there is alot more behind mushrooms then people think. Alot of people are sketchy about taking a shroom they think it's going to kill them or somthing.

c007jason---Dont make statements such as---"But its a general fact that shrooms have a less tendence to have a good trip then acid". -- I dont know where you came up with that idea but its pretty much false info.
As a matter of fact the opposite is true for me and for a lot of other people I know. I have always had better trips on shrooms than on acid, and the same goes for most of my friends too. I know a lot has to do with the person and perhaps what he or she is use to and familiar with. Say for instance if all you ever knew was acid, then you might not feel as much at home on shrooms. But from my own experiences and from much of what I have heard from other people it would seem that shrooms tend to produce better trips. And I would say they are a hell of a lot more fun and colorful too.

i still support my theory, of statisics, and facts from what i have aquired!
i want you to know that i love shrooms, and i love acid, i probibly love shrooms more then acid, but im just stating the fact that most see!
Im not spreading false info. this is mostly a factual/opinonistic fourm! But i recommend everyone to try shrooms, or acid! there both great!

The thing I LOVE about shrooms is you never hear some hippie saying "the shrooms were much better back in the...." Shrooms are and always are shrooms, varying strains, various levels of potency. I despise those who are of the mindset that everything they tried in the 60's and 70's couldnt hold a candle to what is around today. They are likely right about the acid today but soooooooo wrong about the weed. But the shrooms are a constant, they cant have been 'better' back then
About shrooms being less intense than acid....you havent taken enough shrooms. Yes by weight, a tab of acid is more potent that an equal ammount of shrooms. However, I suggest that you eat 8-10g's of shrooms and then come back and post your claim about the strength and duration of shrooms vs acid. In my experience acid will not dissassociate you from reality as far as shrooms will, you will trip but shrooms offer such a deeper trip. IMHO of course YMMV

All this talk of trippin is makin me crazy. Considering I havent tripped in??, damn it would take me awhile to remember. I know "where", it was the Moody Blues at Radio City probably around 84, 85 had some botter acid. Ive tripped about 20 times in my life maybe more I cant really remember and only one of those times was with mushrooms and it was a lite trip on Christmas eve, it was cool no big visuals just a perpetual shit eating grin type of trip. But I love trippin and miss it alot and am looking so forward to my first flush (havent started yet though still waiting for my spores). Im looking forward to the legendary "mushroom experience". I really need to leave the realities of city life accasionally. Hoping mushrooms will give me a better perspective and help me get in tune with my spiritual side. If anybody needs some spirituality its me. Think mushrooms will do something for me? I basically stay away from other drugs. Im very interested in the psilocybes thanks to you guys here at the shroomery.
Peace & safe trips...

the reason shroomz are not popular is because we don't want them to be, can u just see the cops pulling you over and after they ask that mandatory question about if you been drinking they ask "U been eating shrooms today??"

And you want to talk about one uneducated drug user..."just let the x destroy your spinal cord..." nevermind all the stereotypes and such in "My Fault." Like his beats but he defiantely has no idea about the drugs he does.

I don't like it when people say the your more often to have a bad trip on mush. over another drug. when people hear that they will have a disposition towards that drug, and if a first timer does happen to try mushrooms that disposition is in the back of there head so when they start tripping (body rush, carpet looks like the ocean, ect...) it will come up and they think they are having a bad trip. now I've never tried lsd and probably never will (I like to consider myself all natural) but i don't think that lsd has the queziness that mushrooms have, so when you combine the rumor that you'll likely have a bad trip on mushrooms over lsd, and you combine the possible nausea they will think their having a bad trip yada yada.
the key thing to remember is that YOU controll the trip, if you have bad thoughts before the trip you'll likely have bad thoughts during the trip, vice versa

well, i find em to be rather unpop. for several reasons, first like previous people have mentioned there just isn't as much concern about em, 2nd the lack of news coverage, 3rd well lets face it they aren't easy to get, and growing isn't that easy either (at first), compared to say pot; its a plant and almost everyone has had a plant of some sort before if not your parents probably had one. So you kinda know what to do with plants, but who's parents grow mushies?(maybe a few)
and well i find it good that they arn't popular, there are so many idiots out there, and unless a caring drug dealer gives em the correct dosages and good mushies they really shouldn't do em, do you really want someone who dosen't know much about em trying to go out picking ??
I talked to this fof and what a fucking retard, his story wass something like; they were out cannoeign in BC and they decided to go mushie hunting, so they stopped at a smal island and looked around, when i asked what kind of m. mushies they were looking for he replied: "i think it's a little brown mushroom" luckly they didn't find anything. It kinda scares me when i hear something like this, those guys could have killed them selves in the middle of a BC forest.

I've traveled all across the USA and am a very big electronic music enthusiast,I can't believe there's a post (why shrooms arent popular) - Thats outrageous!!!! Everywhere I've ever been shrooms are the one thing people are always looking for-but can never get ahold of.The people I know who sell them are never consistant Cuz they run out right away.
