It seems like a fair number of prostate cancer patients in the forum are growing their own psilocybin to deal with the emotional aspects of the disease.
One person specifically mentioned it helped him deal with the fear of death.
For those of you who have experience sourcing the necessary supplies to grow it, and have tips on how and how not to prepare and use it, would you be kind enough to share your knowledge with the rest of us.
Amazon and YouTube links would be welcome.
I will post a one time warning for everyone, so that each poster doesn't have to repeat the same warning:

LAWS REGARDING PSILOCYBIN VARY WIDELY BY JURISDICTION.
CONSULT YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BEFORE IMPLEMENTING ANY OF THIS INFORMATION OR COMMENCING ANY EXPERIMENTATION THEREOF..

Everything you need is available on Amazon and spore prints are sold in Oakland, and Canada on line. Dried in the oven or one of those plastic dehydrators that sit on a kitchen countertop …. then vacuum packed with a foodsaver and stored in a freezer they keep for years. These are ‘ extremely “ bitter to the taste but well worth it. The “ high “ is very pleasant , fairly mild, laugh inducing and not scary at all ( imho ).
you buy spore prints or syringe kits ……. and those mushroom medium kits from Amazon and grow them at home. Back when I grew mine there were no laws about psilocybin mushrooms, millions of them grew in the fields in Texas every spring. Spore kits were available in the mail cheap. Anyone can order spore prints or kits legally in all states except California, Idaho and Delaware ( or some state back east ), they are legal in 47 states. most web spore suppliers ship to California anyway…. and the city of Oakland has decriminalized psilocybin mushrooms and I’m told spores are available at the mushroom church in Oakland and on Oakland street corners down town in the refurbished brick street area. Just Google “ buy psilocybin spore prints “ or “ psilocybin Oakland California “ for spore sources and there are just zillions of growing videos on YouTube.
Note: growing pure slants of psilocybin mycelium can be tricky and takes a lot of care and practice. Sterile lab practices are a must. ( pun there if you get it ). Times have changed since my era and they are much easier these days. The videos spell it out clearly.
Something else I think I should mention is that getting high from psilocybin mushrooms is only an occasional thing. You cannot repeatedly get high from them in the short term. If you ate them ( 7 grams of bitter fresh dried carpafores ) today, it would be three to five clean weeks before you could have the same experience again. Eating more does not recreate the first experience . However …. That they have a valuable medicinal mental effect is well known and is what us croakers here on the group should be chasing if they want that valuable psilocybin benefit. In that case , eating a few grams ( 3-5 ) every day will induce that beneficial mental , Xanax like but way better , benefit. Being high from them in that case would be unnoticeable.
Amazon , search Amazon for “ mushroomsupply.com all in one mushroom grow kit in a bag “ …3# and 5# sizes growing medium ….starting at $34. Also….. Google “ sporeworks.com Psilocybe cabensis , 4 pak of syringes “. $55. Search YouTube for “ how to grow magic mushrooms ( beginner friendly ) simple and fast “ for an easy video using the above.
Doesn’t get any easier than this. Naturally , if it’s illegal where you live , you will be breaking the law, proceed at your own risk. Magic mushrooms are close to going legal in many states , even federally … they are WAY at the very bottom of any law enforcement list. Just say’in.
I spelled psilocybin cubensis wrong in the name of the sporeworks link. Sorry. It should read “ sporeworks.com Psilocybe cubensis , 4 pak of syringes “ . Missed it in proofreading. 😁😁😁
It amazes me when someone(s) takes the time to do such a great web article. Like me, there are people who love to share what they have learned with others and this is greatly appreciated. I plan to follow the instructions to the letter. Anyone find any misinformation in the above listed article?
First and foremost, if you pick your own mushrooms be damned sure you're not going to poison yourself.
Dry them.
How you ingest them is up to you. Someone a long time ago told me to boil them for at least 30 minutes then make tea. I can attest to this method as well as to chewing them; if you go that route keep the residue in your cheeks as long as possible to improve absorption.
The quantity is up to you. Start small and work your way up.
Be prepared to make your own choice on dosing based on what you've learned. There are a lot of variables involved.The best advice I've had and the way I started was to start low and work your way up.
Something else I found a comfort to know getting started is that aside from having a much more intense trip than you bargained for, it's very hard to take a dose large enough to have a toxic effect.
