i believe certain spore vendors are crutial in the future of cultivation, when i say "certain", i mean the vendors who are actually progressing into finding new strains, purity., positive identification., etc...
i dont believe in the vendors that dont do research, and are out to just make a buck (STP). thats rediculous.
the " certain" vendors have the right to charge for spores, at a reasonable price to compensate their time, knowledge & effort, etc., that is o.k by my book.
if you were that "certain" vendor, wouldnt you want to be compensated for your efforts?
come on! they even travel to foriegn lands in search of new strains!
about selling fruits, AFOAF doesnt believe in selling them like a drug dealer would, reckless & "just out for a buck."
"Personal Gain"
AFOAF believes that cultivation requires cash, and most cultivators arent rich, therefore, AFOAF believes selling the fruits to friends, and not to just anyone who has $$,
only charging a reasonable amount to cover the cost lost to continue the hobby, to keep it going.,
No Personal $$ Gain, No Personal $$ Lost,
the ONLY thing gained is Personal knowledge on both parts of the deal...the grower & the consumer.
A BALANCE.
that is our 3 cents'!

I like what's being said here. Dystopian Harbinger's points about the good side of selling especially needed to be said.
I wouldn't want a person seeking magik mushrooms to go out and eat a poisonous LBM. Bam my friends are dead. No, and if someone cultivating shrooms was to sell, I think they might have some costs to compensate for. From the time some of us spend discussing this on the Shroomery, there is obviously a lot of time invested...work, which other people aren't going to have to do to get great shrooms.
The difficulty in selling somthing of this nature is that it can be very harmful if misused, so I think that anyone selling would need to put her/his concern for the unexperienced before her/his desire to make annother sale. ie; don't sell to people who won't know how to use them safely.
That has the karmic proportions of giving loaded weapons to children.
I think the other main hang-up about selling shrooms is that they are worshiped by some people. Fine. In my opinion, the physical manifestations are not the deity...it's just a drug. What is precious and sacred happens inside souls, which aren't being sold in this case. I personally believe that it is troublesome when people start thinking that life is beautiful because of a dried up fungus, or a crystaly white powder or whatever...
But wees bigger dan dat, um-hmmmm?

I'm grateful to those who have provided my firend spores to growth with. Okay so I'll go with the spore provider I know, Ryche. Ryche is the only spore dealer I can really speak of because he's the only one I've used over more than one order.
Its werid like after a certain point I was researching advanced cultivation topics and found posts where Ryche was asking the questions and proposing really dumb shit. You'd think a reputable spore provider would know everything right away. I guess not we all start somewhere.
I guess my point is, we have some people serving spores who have been around awhile and have built a solid reputation. That has value. When you are trying some new technique, and it fails, you want to be able to say, "it wasn't that the syringe was bad, I need to keep working on this technique." If you bought your spores at some fly-by-night operation which just popped up, well, you can't be so sure.
Without reputeable spore sellers, there is no way we can make advances in cultivation. To be able to go from spore to mushroom takes a considerable amount of learning such that the grower can be considered accountable for their actions.
But then, I like whores. I don't consider some of the reputeable syringes sellers (ryche, sporechicks, PF) to be whores in any way though.

ok everyone, I posted in this thread about ryche prices and I changed that, I shouldn't have posted his name because I was speaking of vendors in general. I got my facts wrong with ryche's prices and apologize about that. sorry ryche, hope there's no hard feelings...

Spore vendors are where the majority of people here got there first spores from. There's almost nothing in this world that doesn't cost money, almost everything depends on money now a days and nobody ever has enough. Spore dealers are selling to people that have to grow the shrooms and who mostly take it themselves or give it to friends, of course some dealers probably also get from spore vendors but they're the minority in the case. Drug dealers are just selling stuff that messes people up to people who want to get messed up, I'd put money that over 80% of the people who have baught shrooms from dealers don't know what psilocybe is. I'd also be willing to bet that more than 10% don't know that mushrooms come from spores ; ) I guess I'm trying to say that the majority of people buying from vendors use the shrooms for themselves and a majority of which have a form of respect for the mushrooms while the group buying from dealers are usually just people trying to get fuct up. Either way though, shrooms are illegal as a whole so in the eyes of authority they're the same thing.
