This could be extremely useful in cultivation of supposedly illicit specimens! This is a clearly exploitable loop hole in US law. This must be further examined. This allows experimentation free of law interference. Most people might not care or see how this could be useful... I can't believe I didn't see this before."
First of all... why?
Secondly, while the psilocybin and psilocin are illegal, so are the mushrooms that produce those chemicals. It is illegal to grow psilocybin producing mushrooms, even if they do a poor job of it.
Quote:
Experimenting is good, but re-inventing the square wheel is not good. I'd suggest using proved substrates, or look for better substrates, but not those that are already proved to be inferior.
I agree. Why waste the time? This was just one of the dozens of threads out there about white in place of brown. You should spend the extra time finding Brown rice because of the billions of threads promoting its use.
I've waited so long to say this to you... yes, only you who totes it like a god given power... YOU ARE WRONG.
You said this,
"Secondly, while the psilocybin and psilocin are illegal, so are the mushrooms that produce those chemicals. It is illegal to grow psilocybin producing mushrooms, even if they do a poor job of it,"
Yeah, that is wrong. Why is it, oh bestower of true knowledge that the very seed of these horrible little nasties we call shrooms are legal? They lack the illegal CHEMICALS. No illicit chems, no law broken. So, if the shrooms lack the illicit item, they are no longer illegal. Why in the world I had to break THAT down is well and beyond me... If you can reduce the amount of psilocybin and psilocin to an unmeasurable level, why couldn't you isolate it back, or BEYOND where it was to begin with. Media directly affects the levels of the illegal substances produced in these species, we now know this. Knowledge gained for the better good. Now before you go and attack something which does not fit well within your very small little worldly outlook, do us ALL a favor and say something PRODUCTIVE for a change and START THINKING BEFORE YOU TYPE.

Not to criticize your point, because I understand what you are saying, but I have a hard time believing that you can grow cubensis that would contain absolutely no measurable amount of psilocybin. Very small amounts, sure; but I dunno about none whatsoever.

It takes an open mind and willingness to apply oneself... This is defiantly not so haughty a task that it is impossible. The tone in your doubt tells me it is not possible for YOU, don't speak on behalf of anyone else in this matter. It can be done.

I apologise for my tone. I feel very defensive about this topic because it is so OPEN. It's disagreeable, outrageous and debatable. And yet I believe that through careful dedication if one so chose to accomplish this, one in fact could. Please don't sell yourselves short. OPEN YOUR MINDS!

I guess I'm not quite sure why someone would want to go to great lengths to grow cubensis with no psilocybin. Most of us grow them for the opposite reason;).
I suppose anything is possible, but I still think that any cubensis that has enough nutrients to grow, will have enough nutrients to produce at least a tiny amount of psilocybin.

The point I'm trying to make is that a simple change in the diet here restricts the output of specific chemicals in the fungus yet still allows for growth. When the dreadful day DOES COME (because I know it IS coming) this is the only way we'll be able to still meddle LEGALLY with this species bar having to relocate ourselves with family in tow to a foreign country for the civil liberties enough to still PURSUE HAPPINESS. This is becoming harder under the good lady Liberties watch. I think it's critical that we use longevity here.

FREEDOM THROUGH GENETIC ENGINEERING!

It doesn't carry as much nutrients....little to no nutrition using brown rice...trust me...no need to try whats already been done.

First of all. I never said anything that wasn't true. In the references below it is clearly stated that fresh and/or dry mushrooms are considered containers of the illegal chemicals psilocybin and psilocin. I should also point out the laws in many states that ban counterfeit products when offered for sale (a judgement left to our fine courts, no doubt). For example, baking soda as cocaine, oregano as marijuana, and plain paper as blotter acid.
Wikipedia Erowid Erowid
Furthermore, I defy you to grow a cubensis mushroom or any other psilocybin genera mushroom that is completely devoid of psilocybin or psilocin. Maybe, like you said, if one so tried to accomplish this, then one in fact could. But that only brings up my first question. Why? There are plenty of other more challenging, more palatable mushrooms out there to cultivate, that growing inactive cubes (a feat generally considered failure) seems like a fool's errand. If you want to do so, go ahead. Just don't expect many to follow you.
Lastly.. While I appreciate the personal attacks, they really don't have anything to do with the advice I was giving...

Aww, that was sweet. And totally unproductive. I don't sell myself short when I tell someone to use brown rice flour instead of white rice flour, or minute rice, or Uncle Ben's. BRF has a proven history of producing potent mushrooms... something I think he's shooting for. And I sure as hell don't sell myself short when I try to dissuade someone from doing something that will have a negative impact on their goal. If you want to attack me because I don't understand why in blue blazes someone would WANT to grow inactive cubes, then go ahead. If you want to criticize the advice I give, feel free... but be sure that you're right. And finally, before you accuse me of being closed-minded and having a small world-view, maybe you should take a long, hard look at yourself, and examine how you may let your beliefs, values and opinions (whatever they may be) cloud your judgement.

Hate to tell you, but no, you are incorrect. Cubensis mushrooms themselves are illegal to grow. Regardless of potency. Yes, the spores are legal. So are prepackaged marijuana seeds. Grow either one of them, and get busted... they won't care that it is "inactive".
You, yourself, will be "inactive" for a year or two. I understand what you are trying to say, and I do see the logic behind it. However, you must comprehend what we are dealing with here... since when was the law ever affected by logic?

Until someone quotes the actual legal text that legislates this matter, the discussion will not be over and I myself at least will consider that everyone is just giving their opinions and will not believe anyone.

You asked, I delivered...
Quote:
Hallucinogenic substances. Any material, compound, mixture or preparation which contains any quantity of the following hallucinogenic substances, their salts, isomers and salts of isomers, unless specifically excepted, whenever the existence of these salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation
This is an example of the language used in Idaho's Uniform Controlled Substances Act This language, in particular, is recurrent throughout many states drug laws when dealing with the scheduling and classification of controlled substances. The states must have adopted this language in order to get their hands on federal money. Well, that quote leads me to my next reference...
Florida's Chapter 893 - Drug Abuse Prevention and Control.
Quote:
(1) USE OR POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA.--It is unlawful for any person to use, or to possess with intent to use, drug paraphernalia
Quote:
Drug paraphernalia is deemed to be contraband which shall be subject to civil forfeiture. The term includes, but is not limited to:
(1) Kits used, intended for use, or designed for use in the planting, propagating, cultivating, growing, or harvesting of any species of plant which is a controlled substance or from which a controlled substance can be derived.
Quote:
(4) Testing equipment used, intended for use, or designed for use in identifying, or in analyzing the strength, effectiveness, or purity of, controlled substances.
Psilocybin can clearly be derived from mushrooms. So, even though the language from the UCSA defines the chemical itself as illegal, paraphernalia laws make the possession of your grow materials illegal and appear to make "harvesting of any species of plant which is a controlled substance or from which a controlled substance can be derived," illegal by extension.
And even if you were to attempt to grow an inert mushroom, the possession of the equipment needed to make that determination (not to mention the process needed to get there) is illegal, too.
I try to stay on topic, but sometimes...

This thread has been closed.
Reason: This thread has ran its course. The bottom line answer is 'No'. You can't use white rice or white flour to grow non-active mushrooms legally that you can then harvest active mushroom spore prints from. RR
