Testing for poisons or other adulterants

Is there any place local in Denver metro area where we can have mushrooms tested to see if they've been laced with something or if they have had any kind of poisonous mushroom added to them or something along those lines.

My wife took shrooms on Thursday. We are in Colorado where this is legal. Everything was fine. Friday night she started acting drunk. That continued through Saturday and didn't get better.

We ended up in the ED on Sunday. The best way to describe it is that she acts drunk slowed speech lack of coordination no depth perception cognitive functioning is very very low slow movement you name it.

They tested her for everything under the sun. Completed a CT scan and an MRI with contrast. Imaging all showed normal and nothing abnormal about her labs.

Has anyone ever seen anyone ever experience this after going on a trip. It's now Tuesday and she still struggling to form words and is unsteady slow speech and everything. They referred her to a neurologist. I don't think it's mushroom related but if anyone in this group knows someone who has had an experience like that after taking mushrooms please let me know.

If you know anyone who's had an experience like this unrelated to mushrooms please let me know.

Most of what she took was sourced through a licensed business. She did also eat some caps and steme that were gifted from someone.

She's going through a lot with her mom right now and has been seeing a psychiatrist but has been kind of passed around to different psychiatrists because the practice has psychiatrists that leave and such. She was on a very high dose of Wellbutrin and Zoloft that she stopped over a month ago.

She was placed on a small dose of buspirone about a week and a half before.

The psychiatrist also gave her propranolol 10 mg twice a day PRN and I learned that she had been taking it twice a day. She doesn't have high blood pressure and it was supposed to be an anxiety rescue med but she was just taking it. We were seeing blood pressure numbers around 90/50 and numbers like that.

It's very scary what we're dealing with. They did release her from the hospital and gave her a neurology referral but we are parents to a 4-year-old kid and I'm terrified to leave him in her care with all of her forgetfulness and lack of coordination and cognitive deficit.

Please don't give me any crap about it stupid seeking medical advice on Reddit I'm just trying to find out if anyone has ever had this experience or knows anyone that had this experience related to mushrooms. I'm just really trying to rule that out.

Update: I guess it's important to mention that my timeline may be off. She's been dealing with her mom and cancer. Her mom is also developing dementia. Her mom literally called her 25 times when we were in the ER but didn't know we were there when her sister reached out to Mom she learned that Mom was mad because three eye holes in her knitting needle was too small and wanted my wife to fix it now. Her psych put her on high fine Wellbutrin and Zoloft. In therapy they identified it read anxiety. She went off those meds 5 weeks ago and was placed on 7.5mg buspirone. Sure was taken off that a week ago

Harvesting

I posted last night about these bags and it was recommended that I wait till the veils open. I looked at it this morning and there are several with open veils that are spread wide open but a lot of them still have the caps closed. Should I wait till I'm a majority of them have those whales open?

Harvest time?

Everyone this is my first grow and these are the hillbilly something variety from happy mushrooms.com.

Is it harvest time? Do I wait another day or two? Thank you for any support and guidance

Mono tub

Good morning everyone. I ordered a mono tub off of Amazon and I'm located in Denver. It looks like the third party seller is actually in Denver. The name on the shipping label says Midwest organics. Does anyone know who this organization is and if they have a storefront that I can go purchase directly from?

Here we go pinning

I'm so excited. My grow bags that I was worried about have started to fruit. After one of the members here nacho Queen commented I went ahead and taped up the hole I cut in them to mist them and have left them alone but they are coming along and I'm so excited. This is my first grow!

Both bags have a lot of side pinning going on.

After the first harvest should I move them to a tub?

Low tolerance

I'm learning that I have a very low tolerance four psilocybin. 1 gram gives me full effect. I've also noticed something else and I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this. I had cervical fusion surgery and cervical disc replacement surgery along with chronic neck pain. I'm on a pretty low dose of oxycodone. 5 mg three times a day.

I am physically tolerant on the oxycodone but I noticed that within an hour or 30 minutes of taking the psilocin that I start yawning and my eyes are tearing and then my neck starts hurting so it seems like the psilocin is knocking the oxy off of the opioid receptors.

This is taking gummies that have the active ingredient psilocin. When I take mushrooms I dry heave after about half hour for 20 or 30 minutes and also have the repetitive yawning and eye watering and then move through it.

Has anyone else experienced this? It goes away if I take another oxy and then I settle in and do okay but that first hour hour and a half really sucks.

I can only imagine taking two or three grams.

I'm just wondering if anyone else who is opioid dependent experiences this effect?

My wife can take three or four grams and barely get visuals and feels very what she describes as a body high.

I've noticed if I microdose 0.2 g then this does not happen.

Do these look right?

I am 3 weeks in on this grow. I got the colonized bags from happy mushrooms and follow their videos. Left them alone for the first week after spreading open the bag to get air and then after 1 week I cut just below the air patch to do a little misting every other day. One bag looks like it's coming along but the other one has some fuzz at the top of the substrate. I do see some standing water at the bottom of each bag. What are y'all's thoughts on what's going on in each?

​

This is my first time so I don't know exactly what to look for.

Aurora now

Is there anyone near Aurora now that have a little time to talk about mushrooms and have a serious conversation today. We just had a family event That's leaving my wife struggling. Natural healing is the way to go but my grow is not even close to ready. We are weeks out.

First time

I got two grow bags from happy mushrooms last week. These were started on Saturday and I'm seeing them mycelium. The videos say I need to open them up and give them oxygen after the first week so this weekend I will sterilize a spray bottle and start that part of the process but I'm excited to see the outcome of this very first grow.

Ornamental plants

Good morning everyone. Please remove this post if it's not allowed but I've been doing some light research and looking through both magic mushrooms and some of the other substances that have been decriminalized.

​

One of the curiosities is DMT but from everything I've read the substance naturally occurs in a number of tropical plants.

​

Colorado isn't a tropical place so I don't know where to find these plants. Does anyone know a nursery that sells these ornamental plants that I could purchase and grow myself?

​

I think it would be neat to grow the plant and do all the process to get to the final result but don't know where to start. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Store in Arvada

Happy Tuesday everyone.

And a post I created a few weeks ago that I can't seem to find to save my life. (I've never really used Reddit) People recommended a supply store in Arvada that has cultures growing medium and education.

Can somebody give me the name of that store again?

Visuals

I don't want to violate any rules of the group but I have a newbie question. Are there certain strains that give more visual effects than others.

My wife is very curious about that part of it. She has been microdosing here and there for the past few weeks and feels a lot calmer but also wanted to experience visuals. I tried to help her with what we had and it just doesn't seem to affect her that way. If anyone has a strain that leans harder that way I would like to get more information about it and some education. Please let me know.

Supplies

Hi this is my first day in the group. I don't want to break any rules but I have questions.

I don't really know what I can and cannot ask so if this is not allowed please just let me know but I'm looking for local shops around Denver that sell grow supplies and offer education. Also is it best to purchase spores online or local?

I prefer somewhere near Aurora or in Aurora if possible
