Maybe the sponsers have the answer?

I dont get why head shops dont sell spores? I have heard of 1 or 2 in the northwest that sell them but they are almost impossible to find. I am confused why vendors dont sell spores to head shops. It seems to me like a large untapped market. Is it legal reasons? They already sell "tobacco pipes" why not "Spores for microscopy use only"?

I often wonder the same thing. Maybe it's better this way, it sort of keeps it out of the public eye. Plus if shops did have spores it'd still be SO much cheaper to get it from the GREAT SHROOMERY SPONSORS!

I Know its not as popular as other things but I do think the average head shop could sell a few prints a week. On a large scale this would be a lot of sales. Some people don't like to buy spores online and would rather pay cash even if it costs a little more. Especially in larger cities I think this would be profitable for the vendors. Plus, you don't have to wait for the mail. Even though most of the sponsors here are very fast with their shipping. (this is my first post in years on this site because I'm paranoid as hell, but I have been here for a LONG time.) As far as head shops having a harder time selling spores for microscopy being harder to pass off, I don't think anyone really deludes themselves and thinks pipes are for tobacco, so I don't really see the difference.

I think it's good that they don't because then people aren't aware that you can grow shrooms in your house. Also on a lot of the stories featured here on the news board, when they say cops found a mushroom lab, they say that the cops had no idea what it was, but if they started selling spore syringes they could probably indentify and find them easier.
Plus sponsors are awesome.

From what i understand head shops here in cali used to sell them.
But not any more... not saying that is the reason... just saying they used to sell them.
