Hello, HerbaMatey!
HerbaMatey:
i give fungus to people for free
Crow:
Do you hunt and collect wild mushrooms, Herba? One can do that here, and I have, of course. Not for some years now though. Of course the big Cubensis variety isn't native to this area, which is the particular variety we cultivated indoors. It was a very intensive business. But in three months we harvested a yield of thirty pounds of dried mushrooms, and our freezer was stuffed with them all sealed up in quarter-pound bags. It was a strange life, there was a certain thrill I enjoyed when it came to the production aspect, but when it came to being involved with some ring of drug dealers, well, my wife and I bailed on that one, and that's when we moved into our own house, and abandoned the world of mushroom growing. Still, we had this freezer full of mushrooms, more than enough to share with the few people we knew who were into taking mushroom trips. Over the following year we sent them via courier air mail to a couple of old friends back in Toronto, who then sold them there and sent us money orders, which of course we deposited in our bank account and lived on for that year. All of that went rather well, and it was with a tinge of sadness that we finally sent off the last bag, and did one more trip together and then they were gone.
It was nice having some real money for awhile. We weren't at all 'wild' about spending it, but bought very sensible and practical things we needed to make our new household liveable.
HerbaMatey:
the effect is payment in and of itself
Crow:
Yes, I have always had very rewarding experiences with psilocybin. And my relationship with my wife was deepened in our sharing those experiences; I've nothing but good happy memories of our mushroom trips together.
HerbaMatey:
society lies and tricks us
Crow:
It would seem that this is the crux of it all, really, trying to understand this and how it happens and why, and how we are to survive the rapid growth and all the changes taking place in the world today.
HerbaMatey:
no one makes a loop around we
Crow:
We fruitloops you mean?
HerbaMatey:
i can relate to your x-wifes opinion of the web
Crow:
Its still a common opinion even today. Despite there being so many people who have access to the Internet now, still many wouldnt consider interacting with others the way we do at groups like this one to be a healthy thing.
HerbaMatey:
see my step-dad that raised me for alot of my life firmly believed that no one on the web is a real person
Crow:
Yes, there is a great fear about the duplicity, of these personas we encounter. How do you know who youre talking to? is one question Ive often been asked, and I answer, Well, I dont. But one doesnt know who one is talking to even in many face-to-face interactions either. Of course mostly this is met with scorn, as if one would have to be an imbecile not to know who theyre talking with in a face-to-face encounter
HerbaMatey:
oddly enough my fiance and all my closest friends are people i have met on the web
Crow:
It surely seems likely that such a network would allow for like minds or like souls to meet and grow together, doesnt it.
HerbaMatey:
evolution is imperative
old beliefs only die after we prove the reality impeccably
Crow:
I agree, yes.
HerbaMatey:
thanks to you bruduh crow
Crow:
Thank you too, HerbaMatey.
