I must preface that I, myself, am not straight edge. I use some substances to aid in treatment of insomnia and anxiety that have been prevalent throughout my entire life.

I am NOT asking the question "can I be straight edge if I'm not straight edge", because the answer is stupidly obvious. I'm asking if I'm even allowed to just merely listen to some music from known straight edge bands.

Minor Threat has always been in my music rotation since I was in high school. I 100% respect the straight edge community and understand that drugs are NOT for everyone, and the dangers of drug abuse. I admire the commitment needed to be straight edge, it's just not the life I was exactly given. You guys are troopers raw-dogging life.

However, I always feel this horrible, guilty conscience in the air whenever I listen to anything straight edge related. Sometimes I feel like I'm downright disrespecting the movement listening to their music as a user, so much that I'm starting to avoid listening to Minor Threat often.

As a responsible drug user, with an understanding of straight edge culture, am I allowed to listen to the music? I'm not asking if I'm "straight edge", I'm asking "can I enjoy the art as a user"?

I never thought I'd get this far, but here I am.

It took about a month and a half to get these results, and it was very well worth it. I had purchased two liquid cultures, one Gandalf and one unmarked (didn't know this 'til I got back home). These are the unmarked shrooms, I had tested them and they're pretty good. No contamination, fast colonization, and they grew pretty quickly after roughly 4 days of pins showing up.

I'm already getting pins for my second flush, another small tub with pins, and two larger tubs actively reconnecting. I want to thank this sub so much for the help and pointers, I could've done this shit without you guys. I don't even need to follow the guide anymore because I've read it so damn much.

Once these flushes are spent, I'm gonna move on to growing Gandalfs.

Small question, though I'm not expecting a definitive answer because I'm sure it's not easy to tell, but does anyone have an assumption what the unmarked culture could be? The pins started with brown caps, eventually turning the lighter brown/white color. I had assumed they were also Gandalfs at first, but they look way too different from any pictures of Gandalfs I've seen on this sub.

Dumb question, but no one else has asked so I must know.

Long time lurker, posting to say thanks after my success.
