Hey no need to apologies to me I am not a moderator besides everyone is entitled to their opinions and I was more bothered by the post that tried to turn this into an anti American thread. I will normally stay out of opinion based arguments but when someone wants to act high and mighty and state that someone that dose not do it their way is inherently wrong I feel ignorance radiating from the computer screen and feel compelled to reply after all if there was only one way to do things this place wouldnt even be here. Before anyone gets offended I am just stating my opinion.

65 dollars for a kit and one that is GUARANTEED or money back is a wonderful idea. Growing them from scratch and buying a kit where the mycellium is already spawned for you is a CHOICE. No one is BETTER than another for growing from scratch. Some people love watching the mushroom plant growand helping it grow and giving it life. But others have arrangements where they cannot go through the steps from scratch because they are limited in there housing resources and quite possibly live with others who dont condone mushroom growing. For them, a Kit is a wonderful alternative. 65 dollars is basically paying 2 dollars per gram. I wouldnt mind paying 14 dollars for a quarter of beautiful mushrooms that you watched and helped give life to. Its not all done for you, you still must care for them, give them light, water them, make sure the temperature is right and get very excited when they form into beautiful mature mushrooms. I just want everyone to realize that no matter how you do it, kit or from scratch that mushrooms are a sacrament that we should all be able to enjoy and learn from. I've heard too many people jump on the bandwagon and claim how expensive they are...Give me a fucking break, would you rather have them be 20 dollars? And contrary to what most people beleive, 65 dollars in many ways is CHEAPER THAN THE PF TEK...Think about it...Vermiculite, trays, jars, pressure cooker, spore syringe, filters, bag of rubberbands, terrarium setup, aquarium heater, brown rice flour etc etc I think it ends up being about the same cost. I do agree though that some heads should certainly try a casing tek or a simple PF tek to learn about the growth process so they could cultivate much more and have a more rewarding experience in the future...But having tried this and learned and been successful, if they choose to get a kit for whatever reason then may god bless them and more power to them...Unless of course they go with a shitty over priced company that has a poor tek and they lose all there cash. I have researched long hours on almost every company that sells kits...I have found just one or two that are cheap, nearly 100 percent contam free (you can never be 100 percent though) are legal and yield an ounce or more...Going with these 1 or two companies instead of the other hundreds of rip offs is a sound, well thought out idea...But if your planning on buying a kit that yields less than an ounce and is priced 100 dollars or more then I totally agree that doing so would be a bit too lazy and a poor choice altogether....Thanks guys for making this a cool thread, hope I didnt make any enemies, your all good peeps with very sound ideas! Your friend, Apexx

For those who want to give "bulk" a try.
There is a prize package of a working PC that will hold 7 quart jars, 7 plastic lids (predrilled), filter material, new syringes & 2 spore prints over in the contest forum, the raccoon but on.
He thought that was the "American" thing to do, because he had that stuff extra.

SixTango, Thank you for your service to our great country. I am just one of many who appreciate your sacrifice, and that of many others, to defend the freedom that I enjoy. This country aint perfect, but it damn sure beats any other alternative that I can think of. Now if we could only end this silly war on drugs.

In reply to:
Let me ask this who here grew mushrooms before they ever took them ???
I did. The first shrooms I ever took were the Thai KS (T3) that I grew myself. I couldn't see spending $50 on a quarter oz. when I could build a setup to grow much more than that for the same price. Of course, I'm a "hands on" type of person. I always have been. I get it from my dad.
As for grow kits, I think it would just be safer to amass the supplies and make your own casing than to try to slip that by customs, but hey, do what you want....

No need to thank me. It was my "duty" & I am proud that I could be of service to my home/heart/land. I'm only afraid, that many in the younger generations feel no such "duty" to serve their country. That, to me is a sad thing.
