You can call me Jupiter, JM or JMan; and although that is my name, I am not Jewish. I identify as Buddhist and intend on reading Buddhist texts.

I majored in philosophy when I was in college; philosophy is my passion. I wish to go back to school to get my bachelors and masters degree so I can teach critical thinking. Although I like plants, I completely bombed botany, so that's something I hope to learn more about through here and other parts of the Internet. I absolutely love mycology. So far, my favorite experience has been with psilohuasca; I've never felt so mentally alive; my psilohuasca experience is the golden standard I use to compare to other experiences. I also have an affinity for the Thinking of Each Other Tree, which I plan to get to know better. Personally, I've never tried Jurema, but it's on my bucket list of things to do, along with going to the White Sands in New Mexico.

I hope to have a good experience here!

Hey there, and welcome.

Well seeing as I'm a mycophile and also have my bachelor's in philosophy (and would love to get my masters though I don't know what I'd do with it), I think we're going to get along well.

That said, you might like this philosophic thread I am working on.

What happened to be so wonderful and impactful in the pailohuasca journey you mentioned.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

One love

I'll be sure to read it. The psilohuasca experience completely absolved my state of suffering. Psilocybin/psilocin by itself can do this, too, but it didn't do it to the extent that psilohuasca did; with psilohuasca, the feeling of nirvana not only remained longer, it was much stronger.

Hey JM

I haven't combined harmalas with psilos yet - in fact i haven't tripped on mushrooms in about 15 years! Started growing them again though, so hopefully i'll have ample supply from this spring/summer onwards.

I have extracted them (harmalas) from rue several times though, and ingested them alone as well as with dmt. They are miraculous!

Welcome to the nexus, i think you'll have a great time here

why hello

Nice to read that!

I'm also interested in mycology, although I guess it's a interest I always relegate to do later for, who knows...

Do you study mycology in a self-taught way and put it into practice on your own or something? I would like to know.

It's a mix between being taught mycology in a college Biology class and teaching myself how to grow them. Fungi are genetically close to us humans, but not as close as non-human animals that have genes that process for hair and skin; in college I learned cellular respiration and the anatomy of mushrooms, but not how to grow them. Some people may tell you that "a cube is a cube", but from what I've found different strains of cubensis can have different effects. Amazon tends to be an aphrodisiac and elicits closed-eye visuals, whereas Ecuador elicits open-eye visuals.
