So cows are not necessary, but certainly more plentiful in the south than, say, water buffalo.

I find the lightening attribution a bit hokey sounding, but unfortunately Stamets says nothing about it. Do you have a reference?

Perhaps pm me because we've gone a bit off track at this point...

eh marijuana, psilocybin, it's in the same catagory in my book. (my book is a big wizards book :P

I was being metaphorical.
In the spring time, when summer is approaching, if I'm in the south I have dreams of mushrooms every night.
The lightning picks up, and I can feel the season change.
When I eat mushrooms I feel like I have lightning inside of me. Lightning mind, thunderous body.

Psychedelics come off as electric sometimes...know what I mean?
The lightning is a natural representation of the psychedelic brain/mind.

Mushrooms do not need lightning to grow.
Maybe they do.
Maybe it helps.
I don't know.

All I know is I love paul stamets and his research! His lectures are phenomenal.

On subject: I made a marijuana tincture with honey oil and everclear. Just a teaspoon of this ingested orally does my body good (without the harmful effects of smoking)
I really want to get some food-grade glycerine and make a pastey tincture with it.

some days in florida I see over 100 lightning strikes all around me. St. Petersburg (near my parents house) is the lightning capital of the world.

My older friend who has worked with horses for decades was taking care of a horse one night who's owners thought it was dying. Even the veterinarian thought so.
When they left to go do something ( I forget what)
He seized the opportunity and lit a bowl of marijuana under the horses nose.
The horse inhaled deeply,
and after a while and some huge farts the horse was perfectly fine and showed no signs of death what-so-ever.

Marijuana somehow makes the internal organs of animals rhythmic, loose, relaxed, and in-tune.

I am told that Canada was going to allow medical pot.
But the USA went ape and threatened trade sanctions etc
Anyone know anything about this?
How can the Yanks spend 10 Billion a year on an anti-drug battle and be losing the war?
Is prohibition effective?

Fascinating story.
I know a horse herbalist who uses it but she dosn't say much about how she uses it
My internal organs seem musically relaxed enough these days.

It is found universally in World folk-lore about mushrooms.
It is an 'old wives tale' that I believe.
Although I don't know how commercial mushroom farmers produce lightening

It is interesting the cow/buffalo connection.
As man started to domesticate animals he started to develop religion.
Perhaps, initially, with the help of psychoactive herbs?

OK, I'm teaching you to suck eggs.

But the thought may not have occurred to some of the more rigid

Our stomachs break down DMT and without an maoi we can ingest a ton of it orally and it wouldn't affect us at all.

Have you seen the kids' toy appropriately named "Magic Beads" that when ingested produces DMT. There have been some very worried parents as the kids react badly to it and go into a comatose like state. Three OZ States have banned the toy now (See Australia thread)
