In Reply to: Donald's 1st try at the shrooms---- posted by Cheryl on January 22, 2001 at 13:06:19:
Cheryl,
Since those shrooms were procured from a 'third party', we don't even know for sure they were they correct ones. That's why I advised you to disgard them.
What I'd recommend is getting hold of some spores and growing your own, it only takes 6 weeks. I know that seems like a long time but this has gone on for how many years already?
Once the shrooms are ready we can give you definitive dosing and preparation guidelines. This has a much better chance of success. Aside from my concern that Donald is treated and not poisoned, I'd also like to avoid posting what may potentially be a false negative result.
Please also note my previous postings warning that frequent smaller doses may make things worse. Breaking the CH cycle is like trying to break down a door: it requires maximum effort concentrated into a short space of time (brute force). You can stand there lightly rapping on it for a million years and it wont open, even though the total force you've expended is the same.
The point I'm making is that if X quantity of mushroom didn't work this time, then the same quantity aint going to work next time either. What we need to establish is:
Was it really a hallucinogenic species?
What was the magnitude of dose?
If the answer to the first question is no, then there is no point trying the same shrooms again.
If the answer to the first question is yes, then we need to at least double the dose. Ingesting an equal quantity will be equally dissapointing.
