Cool, man. :thumbup:
Of course i'm right, i'm always right...just not always at the right time...;)

There is a reason all of these so called harmful illegal drugs are made illegal in the first place, and it's nothing to do with health, it's all to do with money. It allows big pharma to create alternatives and sell them back to us!

It's been obvious for many decades, it's why i choose to medicate myself and avoid any horrible gov/big pharma produced drugs as much as i can.

When i get my really bad stints of sciatica, i reach for the hash oil, it's the only thing that helps. I do like a shroom too tbh, i grew liberty cap and hawaiians for a bit in my old gaff...:) not had any for years now though. I had some shroom concentrate in a dropper off my mate too but stopped buying that as i was raping it every firday night ad going a bit mental, one night i think i had 15 drops, my friend strictly said don't do more than 3 lol...i have a high tolerance for these things even though i don't do them that often!
And you don't think that you depression might be because of the strength of the recreationals you take?
Hang on a minute, where did i say i was depressed?

It's more likely that i would become depressed if i DIDN'T take the recreationals!

If anybody tried to give me medical advice, I'd tell them to fuck off.
If I want advice, I'll ask a doctor.

I was bought a book called The Psilocybin Mushroom Bible for my birthday, I have no idea why because I've never shown any interest in them, but it does look interesting, I'll get around to reading it at some point.

FWIW if forced to grow my own medicines then I'd rather grow and use opium poppies, but I don't do that either.

Ah but. Who bought the book for you? Why did the person who bought you the book, think you needed to read it?

Indeed.

Pharmas can still make their money but let us make some too for those who want to fix themselves with what Earth has given to us for free!

It's not for all.

Do what works for you and yours. But don't discredit something just because illegal!

I know people who suffer depression who partake in a smoke. I know about the same amount with depression who dont. Did they not also try and say coffee is a depressant?

I seek out unusual information because I'm old and boring, so I'm known to spend hours in book shops looking at the sections that offer something a bit less mainstream. We've also recently started to grow veg and I've made it known that I'd like to be self-sufficient as much as possible.

I'm hard to buy for and the book was a bit of humour, they were originally going to buy me one on growing root vegetables and then saw the mushroom one. My wife got a book on keeping ducks.

That’s a short book. Don’t, they’re messy, noisy and don’t lay enough eggs to cover the amount they eat.

When we were kids, my mate had a duck, which they always let indoors. Funny little thing that used to waddle about crapping on the carpet! :wtf: But his Mum loved it and the duck loved her and used to sleep on her lap and follow her all around the house and get annoyed if she went upstairs and quack the place down!!. It used to terrorise their dog too! :D

She wants a couple of Indian Runners.

She has a vision of harmony where we coexist with them like a Jungle Book story, but we've got the space to fence them off if we need to.
And I've got a decent axe if it goes completely tits up.

Ducks are way more entertaining than chickens, Muscovys especially.

Would you keep them as pets, for the eggs, for the food, or a mix of all three?

In our perfect uneducated world, they're pets that lay enough eggs for us to have them for breakfast 2-3 times a week, then we hatch some and have roast duck once a week.

In reality, probably pets and we eat some of the eggs and give some away.
