Exactly. I didnt clean my truck off.

It’s not currently legal in this state, so a provider offering it would risk losing their license. However, ketamine assisted therapy is legal, and could possibly offer a similar introduction to the experience in a safe context. In Portland I think there are at least two places that work with ketamine, Bishop Health and Riverbird Clinic, and you could contact them to learn more about the process.

Experimenting with club drugs can also be a pretty dumb thing to do if you are struggling with a mental health problem on your own.

It’s not legit here yet. Anyone offering right now is a quack

We're gonna get downvoted to New Hamshire for this, but yea, it's not a big deal if it's the fluffy stuff.

I've been wondering this as well! I hope you get some helpful answers

This is not as big a deal as the frozen slush on top of the semi trucks.

Cant help Lazy.

If an obese autistic woman like me can do it, so can you.

...I'm starting to think I should get this imprinted on my shirt and my hoodie and wear it everywhere I go. Seriously, people.

How about turn your fucking lights on in the fucking daytime, you dumbass rube.

Dear God, I could kill myself from alcohol poisoning from all the cars I see that don't turn their headlights on, whether it's in snowy weather or a clear day. They aren't in the hands of CMP, it's okay to turn them on.

"But I gotta go to the smoke shop bub "

I need this, bad

I guess that's what I need to do, then.

I only buy the substrate, I’ve failed making it way too many times

Ya can’t cure stupid.

I used a pressure canner and made agar dishes and sterilized my substrate. The agar dishes that I didn't inoculate stayed contam free, so I'm pretty certain it was the syringes. But I'm sure it depends on who prepares them. All the cleaning and sterilizing I did before actually doing the 5 minutes/day of work was what was overwhelming for me. To still get contam after that was just too demoralizing. I might try again sometime with commercially-prepared substrate/spawn.

I’m not sure if sterilization has gotten better with spore syringes, but with ~5 mins a day of effort, I’ve gotten more than I can reasonably consume. I do agree though, not sure how these harmless little fungi can be prohibited. It’s a literal plant, with very real mental health benefits.

This is not the type of snow it is not required

No

I tried this a couple of years ago. It was hard, especially since spore syringes and spore prints (the only legal way of acquiring mushroom DNA) tend to also be sources of contamination. If you are super depressed, starting a new hobby like this, which requires time, resources, and the ability to stick to a schedule is really difficult. After a few failures due to contamination I gave up. I have had one mushroom experience that did more to help me deal with trauma and CPTSD than any of the hours (and $$$) spent with mental health professionals and on many many anti-depressants. I'd really love to continue that work legally. It sucks that legislators voted against bills to legalize therapeutic psilocybin. While they take their sweet ass time getting comfortable with the idea of a controlled-substance as scientifically proven medicine, people continue to suffer and seek illegal ways to self-medicate, which is bullshit. Sorry about the rant.

My great grandmother used to live right near here in Penobscot. Beautiful part of the country

Jessica Whitten will have sessions with you post-trip for psilocybin but you would have to get a hold of it yourself. She also offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy which can be prescribed

I second this. I am very interested as well.

I’ll check it out, thank you.
