I have a bit of a question.

Now, I know know know that I shouldn't be asking this. But I have nowhere to turn to. I really don't want to get screwed over, and I don't have enough knowledge to get this straight with my friend.
Basically, I asked a friend to get me some shrooms, because my girlfriend and I have been super interested. The time I was supposed to get them before fell through. That sucked. Now my friend says he can get them for me in 2 days, but he said $50 for an 1/8. That doesn't sound right at all. He said you could get 2 trips out of an 1/8, and like 10 trips out of a 1/4. Now this sounds like absolute bullshit, because i've been reading so much here. But is there some way that he could be telling the truth? I mean, he is a pretty good friend of mine. But i don't want him to fuck me over.
and dear god wtf is this

50$ an 1/8th is hella expensive, I'd tell someone to fuck themselves.
An 1/8th is half a 1/4, and if you get 2 trips off an 1/8th, you'd only get 4 off a quarter...
I suggest cultivating your own mushrooms. You're safe from not knowing what kind of mushrooms they are, Once started you can go indefinitely, and it's much fun to watch them grow! Fruits are more satisfying also..

i know that 1/4 is 2 1/8s. hehe, i'm a psychedelic newb but i'm not a substance newb. I don't quite know why i didn't question that, but I think I will. Seriously, I coulda sworn he wanted 50 for 1/4. Grrrr. And the thing is, I really wanna have shrooms be my first trip. Morning Glory seems possible, salvia seems down right terrifying, and LSD kinda out of reach. Goddamn, I really want some shrooms. It seems from what i've read to be the best, most enlightening, most enjoyable trip (aside from LSD) out there.
I might just go and buy some morning glory tommorrow though, because I don't have school (i'm 18) and at this moment in my life, i'm more content and happy then I have been for a very long time. I really want to take advantage of my content and enjoy and experiment.

"but he said $50 for an 1/8"
That's expensive, but 50$ a 1/4 is decent I guess...
Save your money until you find mushrooms at a decent price, as they're worth it.
Your first mushroom experience, you'll be so enlightened, you'll think you've figured out the world, so to speak. IME anyway..

cool. yeah, well the money isn't toooo big of a deal, but i'm definately not buying 1/8 for $50. He said they were fresh, does that make a big difference? Goddamn, I really want those shrooms. Hehe.
Hey, quick question too- storing shrooms, salvia, morning glory; do they go bad or can I just throw them in a bag? Because I don't really have much good opportunities to trip, what with school and work and living with the parents.

THEY'RE FRESH? 10 grams of fresh mushrooms = 1 gram dried
1/8 fresh mushrooms = .35 dried...dude, you better just wait...
You can't store them fresh, as they'll rot. Once they're dried, you can store them in a dry, cool place, almost indefinitely.

Haha. Yeah, exactly what I thought. I didn't know that 10-1 thing, but I expected that. I asked him and he said dried or fresh, blah blah blah. Thing is, 1. the dude is a bit of a idiot, and although he's my friend, he's just kinda dumb. He's probably mistaking something. But i'll kick his 300 pound philipino ass if he's fucking me over. Not really. But I'll be kinda angry.
Meh, mebbe i'll go to home depot and grab some morning glory. I'm feeling experimental.

Wouldnt putting them in a paper bag dry them out and also be used as storage? I heard this just recently.
Also the whole 50$ for a 1/8 and 1/4 being 10 trips.. thats a load of croc.. it seems alot of shroom dealers are just assholes who don;t know shit. I think it rare.. in my area to find a honest/good dealer for shrooms. Right now though I know of no one that sells any. SO I just go pick em myself. I dont like the idea of buying mushrooms... at least if you dont know the dealer all that well. Alot of them are idiots and wont care about your life.. the mushrooms they "pick" or even cultivate could have mold or be the wrong species.. im sure there are alot of other hazards but those two ring out in my head the most. I'd rather go pick "fresh" mushies myself and dry them myself.

Just grow them. It's easy and for $50 you'll get a LOT more than an eighth.

You can trip hard off of a gram if you are really experienced in some very weird ways(not normal). Dude, without the mess of crap talk, your eighth(3.5-4grams) should cost about 30 dollars If they were the best cubi shrooms in the world. Sorry no one could really say this. They are probably quite good if you are being ripped off like this. If you want to shroom so much buy them and eat as much as you want over time(if you dont know what to expect). On the other hand, they could be crappy and youll still trip hard if you eat them all. There is no telling your degree of enjoyment unless you realize that this shit lasts for 6-12 hours.

Here in Holland we pay 10 bucks for 30 grams fresh (dried are illigal here lol)...
So you'd be ripped off for sure! That guy is even a dumb-ass in math... Getting 10 trips off a 1/4 but you can get 2 trips out of 1/8 lol...
Sorry to say but your friend is one dumb-ass

Well around west michigan the standard seems to be 30-40 for an 8th... but if they're wet, then you're definetly getting ripped.
At festivals around here they seem to be more like 15-25 an 8th.

50 for an 1/8 of azures or cyans or something is a little more reasonable. It would still be seen by many as overpriced, but you could get 3 or 4 trips out of it.
Still, theres no excuse for the fact that he said you could get 2 trips out of 1/8 and ten out of 1/4. Wtf is wrong with him? He's either braindead, or thinks very little of your math skills. Either way, stay away from the guy.

i had someone string me along for a couple months telling me they could get some shrooms for me. i didn't even care how much they cost. i got fed up, sick of waiting on his dumb ass and grew my own. it's so much more fun than screwing around & depending on other people.

well it mite be because you picked up a 1/4lb not a 1/4oz if you just pick up a 1/4oz its not going to be discounted very much buying in bulk usually gets you a HUGE discount...

Even a 1/4zone at a time costed 45 or 50...
When you're paying more then 10 a gram (still pricey) it's gone through SO many diff people trying to get that extra buck...I hate that shit.
Supply and demand I guess...

Growing them isn't that hard...just a little intimidating to a first timer
I read for 300+ hours before starting my first grow...so when the time came I had it down pat.
I would suggest spawning your cake to Horse poo (easy, big fruits, potent fruits, and casing it is low maintenance)
