I was curious to know if anyone is participating in biohack-laboratories?
For all who don't know the concept, there is some information on wikipedia
and a lot of sites on the web.

I found it interesting to see what the Nexians think about this. It seems to me that there is some kind of common point between these guys and non-academic underground research like here in the nexus-project.
There was a point about underground research in the Nexian zine and I think that Dr. Rick Strassmann in an interview wasn't really impressed by the underground research but this will maybe change if knowledge and equipment continus to develop.

However, I love to see that people start to reappropiating science in their daily lifes and get into what Gregory Baetson called "folk science".

I think that for example Psilocybe cubensis is today one of the most cultivated mushroom of the planet and its distribution started with the book about mushroom-cultivation by the McKenna brothers - a non-academic publication for the masses.

So there is influence by underground research and in my opinion, the more people get inerested in science and chemistry, the better it is. " nobody is smarter than you are"

On the other hand, it seem that some of those biohackers get involved in genetic engeneering and that seems to me quite dangerous.

What do you think about this stuff??

This sounds like something I would sign up for anytime!!!

Wwwwwwrrrrhhh

Wow gonna check this ous asap! Thanks donfoolio!

Yeah we've been discussing such ideas for a while, fascinating stuff. A yeast modified to produce DMT doesn't seem too far fetched. Here's one older thread on it: https://www.dmt-nexus.me...aspx?g=posts&t=21752

I think what slows some of this research down is that we all have our lives, jobs, families, so to find the spare time and money to put forward some of these projects isn't always easy, but hey, if you yourself want to put some energy into these ideas, go for it, and share whatever you find out or whatever results from your experiments, so others can build on it

Yes, of course, we all need our time for all the purposes of life. I would find it pretty interesting starting a laboratory-research projet but I couldn't handle this alone.
Most leople I know who are interested in scientific research are pretty busy.
Thanks for sharing the topic, endlessness!
I searched on the nexus if this topic had been already discussed, without results.
It reminds me of a friend, who is researching scientifically the symthesis of psilocybin from bacteria. Seems to work
