hey, think about this...
different pot strains induce different effects... right?
because different strains evolved in different regions which adapt to their surroundings, causing different proportions of active chemicals to be produced. now, in modern times we can selectively choose and breed which characteristics we want.
now with mushrooms, why wouldn't it be the same? mushrooms have been evolving long before people have been consuming them. wouldn't a mushroom in north america have different characteristics and different levels of active chemicals than a mushroom in cambodia?
like i said above each different strain would have to evolve differently based on their environment. much like we have different strains of humans, so saying that a cube is a cube would be like saying that white people are not different than black people- trait wise that is.
i'm not exactly sure if this is true or not, but it seems pretty likely.

Yeah, that's what I thought too...I was thinking that maybe someone who knew enough about mushrooms and genetics could grow more potent shrooms...if not now, I'm sure it would be possible soon.

All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." --Max Planck

A few years back I almost flipped out on a low dose of Koh Sumai and wasn't even tripping in the conventional sense. No auditory nor visual distortions, but freaky-ass thoughts.
A friend of mine is a total hardhead and needs very high doses to get off. I gave him two grams and told him nothing of my experience. He said he hated them and nearly lost it. The same thing occured with another friend.
I realize this is merely anecdote, but I tossed 'em all out along with my spores. BTW, they were not contaminated.

it's not much harder to cultivate a potent strain than an average strain, so people are going to make the better strains
