just a reminder, ythan's mom: a lot of us are just college guys (in the pub anyway), so we talk about some things that maybe only college age guys think are interesting to talk about. i hope you aren't too disgusted by some of the posts!

Hands down the coolest mom I have ever heard of. You should be proud of what your son has created. Hope some of the "darker" facets of the Shroomery forums don't scare you

Hello there Mom,
It's quite exhilirating, actually, to observe your presence here. I don't really know Ythan too well, but I have interviewed him "formally" which you can view under my profile in the Journals. I'm not sure how much one will be able to actually trust in conversing with you initially because the first thing that crossed my mind was "She's probably out to learn enough to be dangerous on one hand," so forgive me for that if I am mistaken. (My mother has never and will never even begin to comprehend how my life changed as a result of psilocybes and how she contributed to making it more of an insignificant experience instead one with meaning and support from others).
Anyway, welcome to the Shroomery Boards. We are a diverse and sometimes shocking audience to interract with. Some, I'm sure you have already witnessed, are very much in the 'heavy thought' category, and others are the exact and total opposite. Some give help to others, some receive help, and others prevent people from being helped.
We've got a few awesome mycologists on this site. Workman's one of 'em. Anno, an administrator who basically gave birth to the more coherent FAQ info, is another.
A couple of 'good' girls you can probably befriend are Gillette and Cherrybom(b). She dropped the "b" at some point I think. Why? No idea.
I'm rambling probably. Anyway, again "Welcome!"

Mom said: Hello all- I don't know how typical a site member I am. I don't currently use psychedelics and although I've always been intrigued by their properies have balanced this with concern over risks. I personally prefer the natural highs of the real world, of which I find many. I am in the aging hippy demographic, and am here mostly because Ythan is my son, and I want to be able to know this world he has created and to share a bit of his life long distance (we live across the country from each other). I can't believe I'm actually doing this. It has been a long journey for me to reach the point of participating in this site. I've gone from outright opposition and forbidding Ythan to spend time on it, back when he was 15 and truly abandoning everything in his life to drugs, to understanding the excitement of creating and maintaining the site and enjoying the cyber community that evolved, to really being amazed at the technical skills he taught himself and business concepts he has bcome familiar with in order to carry out this entrerprise, to being less fearful now that he is losing his life to drugs so I can peek in and see what is going on. I've read posts for a while, and am particularly interested in the philosphy and spirituality , health, and art and literature areas, but this is the first time I've posted myself. I work part time as Director/Curator of a small local history museum, like to read, garden, spend time with friends and in whirpools and massage chairs. I'm at mid life, and have lost both my parents within the past 2 years, so issues of loss and aging are big ones for me . I have also been involved in meditation, both informally , with a group of interested friends, and more formally with a Tibetan lama who (amaxzingly!) began a dharma center in the tiny town of 1400 where I live. When the student is ready, the teadcher appears! Which reminds me, I should end with the comment that Ythan has been one of my most amazing teachers of all
That's very cool of you to post here.
Of course, I'm assuming you're actually Ythan's mother.
We're a diverse, self-sustaining community; Ythan just made a site for all of us to congregate at.
We're no more a drug site than Merck's homepage. Prozac's mind-altering (very, very helpful) action led me to this site. I owe my life to fluoxetine. So...mass-produced drugs that are psychoactive led me to find this site and experiment with other psychoactives.
I applaud your open-mindedness. Ythan has helped an innumerable amount of people with this site. You should be proud.

I must assume that since Ythan has not trashed this thread that you are truly his mother and I wish you a warm welcome to the Shroomery and to the Pub.
I'm one of the older folks around here and I must say that your posting is a wonderful thing, it's nice to see that you support your son and his creation which has actually taken on a life of it's own. This is a magical place and I do hope you stay.

welcome So we finally get to meet the creator of the creator, this is a wonderful community which can be a little rough around the edges at some points, but which has an admirable goal and a lot of awesome people who post here.
enjoy your stay!

Well, that is just awesome that you have decided to register and grace our wonderful website! I consider the Shroomerites that I have grown to know and love a family of sorts. Like any family, you have the good and the bad, but they still make up the flavor of the Shroomery. Ythan did a very great thing when he created this place for us all to gather and learn and laugh, or cry together. You did the greatest thing of all by raising this awesome young man into the person that he is today. Without your help and guidance, we would not have had the opportunity to have met each other. That makes me sad to think about. The people in this community have changed and affected my life in so many ways that I couldn't possibly begin to list! Anyway, ebnough of the sunshine blowing. I just want to say thank you and you are always welcome anywhere in this forum(even OTD;)). We love you!!
