I am posting this in hopes that no one else will have to experience what I did. I don’t typically bash companies on the internet. If my experience is bad, I usually just have an “oh well, guess I wasted that money” attitude about it and move on. But what happened to me a few nights ago was so terrifying, and I wish so badly I had found this subreddit along with the list of fake sites before I ordered from Mama Dose. I want to preface this by saying I am not inexperienced with mushrooms. I have micro dosed LEGITIMATE mushrooms from a LEGITIMATE source on a schedule for about a year, and incorporated some moderate to higher doses here and there during that year. I know what actual mushrooms feel like and what to expect at small to moderate doses and slightly higher (up to about a gram). About 3 nights ago, I ate a “micro-dosed” gummy that I ordered from Mama Dose, in which they claimed was a 300mg dose. Knowing I had done close to a gram in the past, I knew what to expect from 300mg. I knew that IF I was going to feel anything, it usually takes about an hour, so I decided to make a quick trip to the store and be back home before any effects. It had only been 20 minutes since ingestion. I picked up my keys and started toward the door when I realized my arms and legs felt weak and I was extremely dizzy. I walked back to my living room, sat my purse and keys down, and went to my bedroom to lie down. By the time I got to my bed, my entire body was numb and the room was spinning. Around 30 minutes after ingesting, I started having blurred cloudy vision and could barely move my arms and legs. At 45 minutes to an hour, I was hypertensive (around 200/150), my lips were turning pale, and I was struggling to breathe. Luckily, I had a bottle of low-dose blood pressure medication and anxiety medicine. I was able to make it to the medicine and took it immediately, and every 15 minutes until my blood pressure came down. I’m not 100% sure how long this terrifying experience lasted from beginning to end, and there’s no telling how much longer it would’ve lasted if I’d not had medication on hand to bring down my blood pressure. During this time, while lying in my bed struggling to breathe, many things crossed my mind: Wtf was in that gummy, how could this happen to me, I’m smarter than this, am i going to die, I can’t die I’m getting married in 3 months, I’m going to miss my fiancé, I’m going to miss my mom and my son, I’m going to miss life. I was so scared and so sad, and then I finally felt that feeling you get right before you lose consciousness. I let my head fall over to the side and thought, “This is it. I can’t hold on anymore. It hurts too badly to keep trying to breathe.” I tried to remain calm and not freak out as I knew that would make everything worse while I lay there accepting my fate. Somehow I am still here to tell what happened to me that night. I guess all the BP and anxiety meds slowly started working. After what I estimate was close to an hour of stroke-level BP, struggling to breathe, and knowing I was about to die, I slowly started feeling this small amount of relief. Within the next 30-45 minutes, the relief continued, the numbness and tingling in my extremities went away, the color came back to my face and lips, the dizziness cleared, and finally I was able to breathe with struggling. Today, I am traumatized by what happened to me. I have never been so scared in all my life. It took the past 3 days for me to be able to put this in words. I cried while writing it. The fact that I had accepted death??!! Just WTF? Death is not something I thought I’d be considering that night. Pretty ironic, right? You take a small dose of what you thought was a legitimate plant medicine in an attempt to better yourself and work on your mental and emotional health so you can LIVE A BETTER LIFE, and then you almost die. Just crazy! I am thankful to be alive. But more than that, there aren’t enough words to describe how angry I am to know that I almost died simply because some shitty company is allowed to slap a fake label on a jar and sell something that is not only illegitimate, but dangerous and life threatening. I truly hope and pray that what happened to me doesn’t happen to anyone else. And if the only thing I can do to prevent that is to share my story, then that’s what I’ll do. I will post my story everywhere I can. In every corner of the internet, there I’ll be, telling what happened. And to the trolls who do the bidding of this fake-ass company… say something. Say this isn’t true. Say it’s a real company with real products. I see your comments all over. There’s a special place in hell for people like you. And to all you people putting affiliate links out there just to make a couple of dollars, you’re just as evil! Is that what someone’s life is worth to you? A couple dollars of commission? You’re Evil! Fuck you and everyone involved with this company! In my opinion, based on my personal experience, the products sold by Mama Dose are going to kill someone, if they haven’t already. I’m begging anyone reading this, please don’t fall for it, don’t order from them, and please please please don’t ingest anything they sell!

So beautiful

I don't know I'm bout to quit trying to post on any other communities like I can never post pictures for some reason on any of these other groups through their mods, just don't wanna accept my request or they're just lazy or they don't exist anymore sucks

Definitely a good strain for weight and speed hillbilly

Im new to the group and dont want to break any rules. So Im looking for clarification because reading the rules didn't make something clear. So here is my question.

Is it ok to ask if sources of spores or equipment are good as long as I only use the name and dont directly post a link I.E leaving the url out? Or am I not even allowed to ask about the sellers I've found?

So I have had success with aio and shoe box. Currently have an aio and 2 spawn bags going. Trying my first monotub.

That being said I wanted to try uncle Ben's bc I have an abundance of lc.

Here are two outta 4. Anyone with experience with this tek, let me know what you think

I’m looking for any Aussies who could help provide advice or point me in a direction towards other Australian communities.

Cheers fellas, ladies, et al.

Chopsticks (~10in/26cm) for scale because we already ate the last banana.

Just gifted these from a friend leaving for a country where it’s not cool. They are damp, probably from sitting in the ziplock bag they came in.

I should dry them out, right?

Any advice on best practices for handling/storing them for best outcome?

Thank you!

PS (if two average-sized, middle-aged adults wanted to eat these, any tips or recommendations?)

I’ve never grown mushrooms before. I’d love to hear anyone’s tips and advice as well as trusted sellers of ISOs.

Any help is good

First attempt, brand new to this. Does this look like normal mycelium growth?
