Bear's spot '09

[accessndx]

naw, I think he was talking about a form of limbo, but I'm sure he'll 'splain it later..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Send_to_Coventry

To send someone to Coventry is a British phrase meaning to ostracise somebody, specifically to not talk to them. It was sometimes used as a way of punishing people who, for example, would not join a strike in a factory for better pay and conditions. Sometimes children use it as a way of bullying others.

The origin of the phrase is unclear, but one hypothesis as to its origin is based upon The History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England, by Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon. In this work, Hyde recounts on how Royalist troops that were captured in Birmingham were taken as prisoners to Coventry, which was a Parliamentarian stronghold. These troops were often not received warmly by the locals.

Another theory is that the locals in the city of Coventry were often strongly opposed to billeting troops from London, and that soldiers sent there were ostracised by the local population.

Another possible theory is that the name Coventry is derived from Covin-tree, an oak which is supposed to have stood in front of the castle in feudal times. The tree was used as the gallows and those to be executed were sent to the covin-tree.

NOW YOU KNOW...AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!

and my mushie jars
strains are ----------

Psilocybe mexicana : Strain-B(TM)
description------

Origin: Colima, Mexico This is the sacred Teonanacatl or God's Flesh in the Aztec language. Rediscovered by Roger Heim in 1956 and used by Dr. Albert Hoffman in the first isolation of psilocybin and psilocin.
AIRDOG's comments on the collection.

"I found those in pastureland growing directly from soil. They grow single or in small groups. The biggest group I have found is of three. I picked them in the state of Colima by the skirts of Colima's volcano."​

Psilocybe cubensis : B+ Strain

description -------

Edibility: Toxic, Hallucinogenic*
Habitat: Bovine, Equine Dung and Enriched Soils
Climate: Subtropical
Strain Origin: Unknown
Cap: 25-75 mm in diameter, hemispheric to convex expanding to broadly convex to nearly plane with age. Dark red maturing to golden brown. Surface viscid with apparent gelatinous layer when very wet, soon smooth from drying. Fine fibrillose veil remnants when young that soon disappear. Flesh white soon bruising bluish green.
Stem: 150-200+ mm in length. Typically equal, sometimes slightly enlarged at base, sometimes contorted. Yellowish to buff with a reflective sheen, bruising bluish, hollow. Partial veil membranous leaving a persistent membranous annulus that is well dusted with purplish brown spores even before tearing away from the cap.
Gills: Attachment adnate to adnexed. Grayish coloration in young fruit bodies becoming nearly black in maturity.
Spores: Dark purplish brown, subellipsoid, 13 by 8 micrometers on 4-spored basidia
Formerly misrepresented as Psilocybe azurescens.
Detail of separable gelatinous pellicle: This feature seems to be unique to the "B+" among cubensis. When young and fully hydrated the cap has a transparent amber colored layer of cells that quickly oxidizes upon removal to a more opaque blue gray color. The texture is like a thin stretchable layer of gelatin. Note the area where the pellicle has been removed is dull.

HappyHerb: Thanks Bro. Things are running smoother now
Brother Bear: Nice pic update yo!

[whiskeytango420]

rooms look yummy BB! I used to run the mycillium bags for a while few years back. Stick in needle o spores, stick bag in closet...2 months...BAM!!!
good vibes

 

[Brother Bear]

vintner - thanks bro - they only get better from here on

cellardweller - dunno what it is, kinda looks cool though
i have seen it in pics of DJ shorts vannalluana (sp?)
on full grown gals, even went through the buds

prolly though my soiless is a bit hot for that one gal

happyherb - thanks :friends:

whiskeytango420 - i have seen the bag kits for sale in high times
but never tried them, once somethings works and works well i am loathe to change it
how were the yields from the bags ??

 

[thatguy]

Well, BB, I may not listen to jam bands, but I got a BUNCH of friends who do. One friend still to this day tells me about every show & fest, forgetting I'm a raging metalhead

Sheeiit, I know you ain't from my or CD's states, so I was DAMN sure you weren't talkin about THOSE coventrys!

I know what you mean bout controlling your trip, BB. Never ate so many boomers, but I got well over 1,000 doses in me over the years. I don't feel as if I'm trippin hard enough unless I'm at the point where shit's so blurry you can barely recognize a good friend's face

And once you're at the point where your friends don't know you're trippin unless you tell them... you've done enough, IMHO.

But I can't bring myself to get fucked up for that many hours any more. Almost did back in Oct, but then I thought about how long I was about to commit to and.... I did a little K instead. An hour later I was back to puffin again

Plants are lookin good, man!

All the best,
TG

 

[Brother Bear]

yep i used to dose before i started with the mushies
and dosed hard cause i was young and dumb
stopped when it just kept getting dirtier and dirtier feeling to me
been a LONG LONG time since i dosed, i would really love to find some clean Acid - nothing ever pans out though

the mushies - i think i will eat them forever

And once you're at the point where your friends don't know you're trippin unless you tell them... you've done enough, IMHO.

OR................... thats when the fun just begins ?
