Harret & Sasha`How to Grow Psilocybin:
a comment on the book:
Bil Harret, Anastasia V. Sasha:
How to Grow Psilocybin Mushrooms at Home for Beginners:
5 Comprehensive Magic Mushroom Growing Methods
& All You Need to Know About Psilocybin
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTJRSBV7
5-star/I haven't tested the info but well-written:
I was pleasantly surprised to find that
this book opened a path to producing an entheogen
with minimal legal problems in certain places.
. growing psilocybe cubensis can result in prison time
except in Oregon, and a few cities,
https://www.opb.org/article/2020/11/04/oregon-measure-109-psilocybin
but the spores are illegal in only 3 states:
calif, georgia, and idaho.
shrooms are a 5-HT#2B agonist.
. one good reason that everyone should
avoid chronic use of 5-HT#2B agonists:
Excessive stimulation of 5-HT#2B receptor
causes abnormal growth of heart valves,
with chronic overstimulation leading to
leaky heart valves,
also known as valvular heart disease.

. loc 1999 of the book states without reference
that people with schizophrenia
"have to be cautious about using
psychedelic substances altogether";
apparently because shroom use can result in a bad trip;
and schizophrenia is similar to having a bad trip.
. for instance,
many people believe they have telepathic powers,
such as knowing when people are staring at them,
and that it helps them read minds and empathize,
or even protect them from being victimized,
but as a schizophrenic I have paranoid telepathy
where the Holy Spirit has telepathy with my neighbors
to gossip about me and frame me as having
thoughts that they wouldn't approve of.
. my first experience with telepathy
and the presence of the Holy Spirit
happened while tripping on dxm
(cough syrup with dextromethorphan)
combined with theophylline.
. shrooms too might invite the Holy Spirit
or cause the equally life-changing
"Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder"
which likely has more to do with
what the Spirit is doing to your brain,
than with
what your brain is doing to your mind.
. one good reason for avoiding shrooms
in people with schizophrenia
is that they are often taking medications
that are meant to reduce hallucinations;
so, the shroom might have no effect
or the combination could result in
unusual bad side effects.
. for instance psilocybin is an agonist of
the 5HT2 serotonin receptor,
while Geodon does the opposite
to that same receptor.

--what else are these drugs fighting about?!
finding spores:
. no online sites are recommended
even as the authors warn there is
a high probability of getting scammed.
. however the references do mention Sporeworks
as a source of info; and they also sell spores,
and were recommended by the seller of a grow kit.
. there is a chapter, 9,
on how to collect spores from existing mushrooms;
but you're expected to get your mushrooms from
purchased spores, not the wild.
. googling for "psilocybe cubensis spores"
one of the ads for midwestgrowkits offered advice
about 3 recommended sites to get spores
which included this encouragement:
"Spore Genetics accepts Credit/Debit cards,
which many sites do not,".
https://www.premiumspores.com/
https://www.sporegenetics.com/
I like to think I know
which amazon reviews I can trust,
but amazon won't allow spore sellers.
. if you search for amazon's sellercentral subdomain,
https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-forums/discussions/t/887a4794c93b752e54e9ffd9e682f5ba
a seller explains that amazon deplatforms a product
if the "product Detail Page" has "Malicious Contributions" such as
“... psilocybe cubensis spores, ...”.
. Oregon allows medical psilocybin
if you have a psychiatric disorder that could benefit from it
such as PTSD and depression.
