 :huh: has anyone grown and/or tried this strain? It grows in my native Michigan, I may want to try this one just for novelty reasons.

Psilocybe liniformans var. americana
Psilocybe silvatica .
Panaeolus subbalteatus
Conocybe smithii Watling.

General topics / Psilocybe and the synapse
March 22, 2007, 02:42:58 PM
I am currently reading over this article: http://www.shroomery.org/6300/The-Mushroom-and-the-Synapse

All I can really say is wow. Read the article until you get to the point where the author is describing how psilocybin fills the gap between adjacent synapses. This means that cells in our brains which don't normally communicate, communicate. I find this to be very interesting. I've read in medical journals that heavy tranquilizers like Thorazine can actually shut down specific neuro-pathways. Now, if psilocybin completes all kinds of normally nonexistent pathways, could it not reverse the damage caused by the tranquilizers? In theory it looks pretty sound to me. This could be another medical application for these mushrooms. Of course this would need to be tested and studied and studied on those of us who take Thorazine daily (which would most likely be in the wards).

Cultivation / Spore trading post!
March 22, 2007, 06:17:13 AM
OK, I've seen a lot of random posts of people wanting to trade and all that. So I thought why not make a trading post? Maybe people could post offers on this thread. This should be a good way to centralize the whole affair (that is unless I didn't read deep enough into the posts to see if something like this exists already or whether it's allowed at all) Forgive me if I've made a mistake.
