MODERATORS
 

Psilocybin tea, wind chimes and a tie-dye mattress await those coming to an office suite in Eugene to trip on magic mushrooms. For roughly six hours, adults over 21 can experience what many users describe as vivid geometric shapes, a loss of identity and a oneness with the universe.

Epic Healing Eugene — Oregon’s first licensed psilocybin service center — opened in June, marking the state’s unprecedented step in offering the mind-bending drug to the public. The center now has a waitlist of more than 3,000 names, including people with depression, PTSD or end-of-life dread.

No prescription or referral is needed, but proponents hope Oregon’s legalization will spark a revolution in mental health care.

I hope this takes off like marijuana did, I’ll happily make a trip to Oregon to go on a trip in Oregon

It's also shockingly easy to grow em yourself

Like 50 bucks of setup gardening equipment and you can get the spores shipped to your door in basically any state

I have a green thumb and might be able to pull this off even if they aren't green. I assume you need substrate and controlled humidity.

What has always stopped me is worry that someone will knock on my door asking what I've done with this package of spores.

I like to look at them under a microscope. What do you mean what microscope? It umm broke, I need to order a new one.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I just squint at em real close.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

You will need a kinda taupe thumb tho

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

The reason the spores are legal is for microscopy. No one's going to ask you to talk about your microscopy hobby though.

Maybe if I ever get a bigger apt, I’ve looked into it in the past and never pulled the trigger

There was (is?) a subreddit called UncleBens, where users talk about using a pouch of Uncle Ben's microwave rice to grow mushrooms.

Apparently, it's the perfect growth media for low budget shroom cultivation.

I don't know what other things you'd need, like temperature and humidity control, and keeping everything sterile after inoculating the rice might be an issue as well. I never spent a lot of time looking at the subreddit, I just know it exists.

Some small mason jars, a way to puncture the lids, some cheap tape, brown rice flour, and vermiculite

Then a big plastic tub and some perlite for the fruiting chamber

Super cheap and shockingly easy
