Ordering spore syringes.
#7565345 - 10/27/07 12:18 AM (16 years, 3 months ago) |

Hey guys, Me and my friend are just about to start growing our own shrooms, but we just have a question about ordering spore syringes.
We live in Australia, Tasmania where shrooms are illegal, but from what I can gather, spore syringes and spore prints are not, not until cultivation is actually taking place.
Our question is, if we order a spore syringe off the internet are we committing a crime, and if the syringe is found during transport, is it just confiscated, or are the authorities alerted?
Thanks in advance!

from what i gathered... spores dont contain any illegal substances. however.. if your package is snooped upon.. just make sure you have a microscope and some lab books on mycology and tell them they are for research and observation only. i dont know how your country works though.
most vendors send their syringes or prints in discrete, unmarked packages. not suspicious looking at all. unless they are reading this very thread and looked up your IP and pinpointed your location. lol not to strike fear or anything.
theres always a risk though. pay through money order.. thats your best bet.

Okay, awesome. Thanks for the replies guys. What is the best spore site to use? Preferably one that uses direct bank deposit or paypal, seeing as I don't have a credit card.

to be safe i'd go with the money order option. it takes a couple days longer.. whooopie.. if you cant wait for youre spores to come in.. you picked the wrong hobby.
bank transfers are traceable of course. better safe than sorry.. thats how i roll

they can't tell you a site other than what's listed in the sponsor section of this site, so check that out, and visit other shroom forums maybe they have more vendors.

Syringes usually don't make it past customs from the US to Australia. They are very strick on the introduction of biological material. Prints are safer.

it's so easy to go from print to syringe. if you get a print, be sure to hydrate it for a day or two first.

I hope you trust your friend very well. If they gotta big mouth they could be talkin to a narc or somethin. Personally I keep my mouth shut so nothin bad can go down while cultivating. especially pot cuz ppl do get very greedy. Good luck

Well, we're storing some at his house and some at mine. It will all be fine. I just can't find a good site that delivers to Australia..

I don't live in Australia but i read somewhere that spores going through customs there will be ceased. maybe I'm wrong. but i would definitely look into the laws cuz if they find spores n that shits no good your address is right on the package.

Hmm, well from what I've heard I just thought they confiscated them, but didn't alert the authorities or anything like that. I still have another month until I have access to the marketplace, damnit.
But if any Australians are reading this, I'll paypal/direct bank deposit you some $$$ if you mail me a spore syringe or spore print.
Just PM me.

A spore print in a normal envelope, with reasonable disguise [i.e put a normal letter in there as well] will have a 0.0001% chance of being sussed out. I got one the same way from a good forum member. Syringes won't make it past customs and they'll send a scary letter to your house and keep an eye on you. Get a spore print sent [try a FSR, just go to the bank and get some money changed for the costs] then put it into an agar LC, then do grain to grain every time since then. If you get a good spore print, you'll be golden and you can just trade prints after your grow works out.
Don't trust your friend. People have big mouths and nothing says "I'm cool" like bragging to your mates about how you're growing shrooms, then word will spread. I've told no-one and I will tell no-one. 99% of people get caught because they don't have the good sense to keep their mouths shut. I'd do it solo if I were you, but if you're committed just make sure your friend understands the gravity of the situation.
And all that ^ is contextual to a home-grow, a little experiment for one or two trips here and there for hobby purposes. If you intend bulk cultivation or selling, you've already started on the wrong foot by organising to do it with a mate -- you've just doubled your chances of slipping and telling someone.
This is all just advice, don't PM me since I don't have any prints to spare.
Cheers

Thanks for all that dude. Do you use MSN or anything like that? I just have a few questions. MSN would be easier, but if you're happy to talk through this thread, that would be awesome.

I ordered mine from sporelab. I live in the Philippines so it took a month to arrive. Actually it only took three weeks but these dolts at the post office only told me to pick it up a week later.
BTW, those are Canadian syringes. They made it through because I guess the Canadians don't mind and although they inspect airmail in my country, they decided not to give a shit about my package. I'll admit it was a bit hard for me to come up with an excuse though. (I was gonna say they contained truffle spores, lol)

I've sent spores to Japan and it took a week! I sent one to Australia and the poor guy didn't get it. I re-sent him another one and it's been about almost a week now, still no response. Is Australia that hard to send a damn print to? Hell, Japan got it, what gives?

Oh okay. Cheers for that. So you guys think I should just stick with spore prints and make an agar LC instead of going with a spore syringe?

I would recommend spores on petri dishes and then to grain, like WBS. That is just me though, The failure I've had with LC and the success I've had with agar on Petri leads me to that conclusion.

Syringes will not get past Aussie customs, they are some of the best in the world I believe. There's a lot of thoroughfare but we have fantastic machines. Aussie post, once it gets past customs, is kind of shitty though. Will it turn up? Will it go missing? Will it come within two years? Who knows!
I'll be happy to answer questions in the thread. I'm not experienced but I've read a hell of a lot.

If you get a syringe confiscated, you will be notified by the narcotics division that your package has been seized due to it being a 'narcotics related item', even though the spores aren't actually illegal so you won't get charged with anything.
They give you the option of collecting it, but obviously that would be a stupid idea.
If you don't want your name and address gathered by the Feds, don't ever order in a syringe...

you need to either tell your friend you decided it's not worth the risk, or after a week or so of starting tell him everything got contaminated and you're giving up
don't tell ANYONE, ever. if you check the shroomery anonymous forum one guy got snitched on by his roomate, who was also growing shrooms with him
do you feel safe putting your life in your friends hands?
