Ready for Shrooms ..Help Wanted

Well it seems that this cycle is kicking me in the rear BAD! I went to clusterbusters, and was overwhelmed with the information. My problem is I need bottom line. I am hoping someone can assist me if possible
1) Anyone living in the Las Vegas Area that has tried this treatment? Some of you cluster heads met me before, sorry but I lost all contact information.
2) Anyone who can refer me to a source to get some?
3) Growing/Cultivating is not something I think I want to attempt. If I screw up ...I am worried about ending up on my death bed in the ER.
Or anything else that can help would be appreciated. Maybe I am not reading this site closely enough, but it is information overload to begin with ....I could really use some help ..or someone to point out the bottom line basics.
Thanks
Hai

If you are unable to find any on your local black market, you could fly to England or Amsterdam or the British Virgin Islands and buy and consume some legally while you are there. If that's not an option, you're left with gathering from the wild (not possible in some areas, since there are no wild ones in many parts of North America) or home cultivation. I presume you would do your cultivation in a country where it is not against the law to cultivate them.
Growing your own is a snap -- it just takes time. The actual process is dead simple. A bright ten year old could do it as a science project, I kid you not.
Although the growing guides might SEEM lengthy and detailed, this is only because each step is described as clearly as possible to ensure the reader grasps things completely. Don't let this seeming complexity worry you. It is a LOT easier to DO it than to READ about it. There are actually very few steps involved:
1) Prepare the substrate (mushroom "soil"), load it into the growing jars
2) Sterilize and cool the substrate-filled jars
3) Inject spores into jars using good sterile technique
4) Wait about three weeks or so
5) Remove the colonized substrate (cakes) from the jars and place in the fruiting chamber
6) Fan out the stale air from the fruiting chamber daily while waiting for the first crop of mushrooms to appear on the cakes
7) Harvest the first crop and wait for the second to appear. Continue exchanging the air daily
8) Dry and store the crops for future use
That's all there is to it. There are many growing guides on the net, but here are two I recommend. They both describe the same process, but I find the second one is a bit better at walking you through proper substrate preparation:
http://www.mycotopia.net/site/article.php?3.255
http://www.fungifun.com/pf/pf_en.htm
I strongly recommend reading both of them through all the way a couple of times before starting -- not because the procedure is difficult, but because you don't want to make some silly mistake through inattention and have to redo the whole procedure a few weeks later.
As for ending up in the emergency room after making some mistake in growing, forget it. The worst case scenario is that some of your cakes may end up with mold on them and have to be discarded before they are ready for harvest.

Gracious Pinky,
I appreciate your simple breakdown of the process, and direct links that you consider the most helpful.

Growing is even more simple than that if you start with mycobags. Mycobags are pre-prepared substrate in a plastic bag. They are meant to be injected with spores, letting the entire growth cycle happen with no chance of contamination.
1) Inject bag with spore syringe
2) Wait for harvest
I'm not sure what could be more simple than that.

Say Hai's head was splitting open, and he had 4 spore syringes on the way, what quality Mycobag products would Hai be advised to procure?
Thx mates!

Hey Hai, do you deal blackjack at the Tropicana?
I'm not sure how many "hai"'s are running around Vegas, but that was my favorite dealers name this weekend!

Rock,
I'm not sure what you mean by quality. I know of only one good source for mycobags www.mycobag.com. The best one to get for the spores depends on the spore type, but I would guess that grain bags are what you would want. I'm telling you, it's incredibly simple.

Well my initial reason for the post was to try and hook up with someone (even better locally) who has done this treatment and could sort of be a peer of sorts in the process.
Someone I could call, or even better help me out in obtaining the shrooms.
However it seems none have stepped up to the plate, or done it in my area.
I once again want to thank Pinky for the bottom line shortcutrs however. I am still looking for a way to obtain the materials (either produced, or to grow with) ...hopefully I will get a bullseye soon.
Also, no I am not a card dealer, in fact what I did do in casinos I have long since quit. Casinos are Evil, the people who run em are plain not a very nice persons.

I had the problem Hai. Friends who have served time for dealing, who could hook me up with anything in a few hours if I wished. When I mention shrooms, they give me this strange look, then say 'they will ask around', followed by 'no luck' the next day.
If you are young, try some college buddies.

Hey Rock Lobster,
I noticed you are on your way to getting these bad boyz to grow. You also had the same problem as I did in finding these bad boys, or the ingrediants. I am guessing without looking you up, that your in the USA. Could you possibly shoot me an email with some info on how ya got the goods to grow? I would really appreciate it.

Hai...
Have not actually attempted to farm yet.
Ironic thing... am on my third day without a CH... may have busted my cycle for another 3 years. (jinxing the shit out of it by speaking of it... will no doubt be hammered by my 2AM friend)
Longest most brutal cycle I have ever had. If the sleepless weekend was the end, it went out with a bang... shot up more Imitrex in 36 hours than I normally would in a week. Without the Trex it truly would have been a Suicide Headache.
Spoke with some who have had favorable results with the first spore vendor listed in the ClusterBusters FAQ, as well as the MycoBag site.
Cheers,
Rock
