So I've been reading some forms and see people talking about a phenomenon called "Woodlovers Paralysis" looked it up on Google and got the bare-bones explanation. Does this phenomenon only happen with wood loving mushrooms or cubensis and mushies alike also? While on the topic of paralysis how often do yall expirence paralysis while on cubs? I've taken them bout 5 - 8 times and only had a lethargic feelings but not full on paralysis.

From what I have read this is not an issue with cubensis or mushrooms grown on grains. I believe it is exclusive to mushrooms that grow on wood. It is one of the reasons mushroom therapy in Oregon will take place only with mushrooms grown on grain. I've never had an issue with cubes.

Yeah, the Oregon law is so miss-informed though...It's based out of fear and ignorance of wood lovers....Just because it grows on wood doesn't mean it is gonna cause WLP. There is no weight to the theory and it is simply false. Lots of edible mushrooms grow on wood.

I didn't know the law, but it wouldn't make much sense to include any division and exclusion of any particular category of mushroom to be specified and singled out based on any variation in their unique effects, unless those specific effects, of those specific mushrooms, posed some sort of unique risk.
Mushrooms have a wide variant of possible effects, once you cross that rubicon.
Wood lovers paralysis is just one phrase in the lexicon surrounding the effects of mushrooms.
It's no more harmful, or desirable than any other effect.
Just part of the experience.
I don't know why the government should have any say in the matter at all. Other than because they have the resources available to them to regulate our behavior according to their own wishes.
-------------------- Just take um like you get um. Those ephemeral spasms of infinity, in suspended animation, born across a boundless ether of existential misery aloft a revelry (of awe) for the abhorrently sublime.

Exactly. In their defense, they didn't really have the resources to do that in the timeframe they were working with so they chose to play it safe. I don't know it specifically bans wood lovers per se, just bans all mushrooms grown on wood, dung and anything but a sterile environment. I'll have to read it again to be sure but I think that's what it says.

I know we already talked about this in another thread but Ima post again for the congruency of this thread. WLP is a harmful, very undesired effect. It is NOT part of the normal mushroom experience and is to be avoided at all costs. It is NOT a good way to experience 'ego death'. It's is NOT pleasurable, fun, introspective, safe or any of the things that ANYONE is looking for in their experience on mushrooms or in life in general. I see a lot of people on here suggest WLP could be a good tool for "enlightenment''. I assure you, it is NOT.
I keep telling people the stove is HOT. They keep coming up with reasons why they should touch the hot stove. If you want to touch the hot stove so you can become enlightened, then go ahead, all you're going to learn, is the stove is hot and it burns. That burn will leave a scar. In the case of WLP, that scar will be on your BRAIN.
