    What if I told you it’s legal to buy spores and everything else you need to grow shrooms? It’s just illegal to plant the spores, so obviously people only buy them to look at under microscope (legal) and not to plant (illegal)

      My brother got on a kick where he spent a lot of money and energy growing mushrooms and his first batch was a total waste. He went back a second time with some distended techniques and got some product but not much. How 3rd try was better but still not a lot of product for all the effort.

      Unless you’re in Idaho or Georgia. And technically in California you have to register as a “researcher”. Many sites won’t ship to CA, other sites basically just say “it’s your responsibility to follow applicable laws”.

      Either way, ideally you wouldn’t have to rely on loopholes to seek care.
