Title: shipping shrooms
Post by: ohbears on February 02, 2012, 06:45 am
are there any clever vendors shipping shrooms in creative, SAFE ways? I'm nervous to order for some reason, even though my friend previously ordered weed with no worries.

Shrooms are relatively safe to ship and receive. Most vendors including my self send them in a small flat rate priority box. They will be vacuum sealed. I have thought about making them look like organic non psychedelic mushrooms but if it comes to the point where they are opening your package they will not go "Oh these are normal mushrooms" and close it. They will find out whats in it. I include a second object in my package so there is a little rattle and something to show up on the xray.

hmm, the rattle is a good idea. I wondered about the disguise of gourmet mushrooms like shitakes or something.

I have little doubt that it would work if the package is opened. I am sure the postal inspectors are trained to spot the differences. For 99% of packages once they are opened they are going to be confiscated. The outer appearance is the most important part.

what happens if they confiscate it? Do they generally try to contact sender or recipient? I'm still new and nervous about the whole process...

AFAIK there is no on the spot test for psilocybin/psilocin.
I am no expert but vac sealed dry cubensis looks just like vac sealed dried legit strains especially when it is labeled dried shiitake or whatever.

IMO if it is mis-labelled and it gets opened 99% of the time they will send it on rather than send it to get tested. Simply because they are not mycologists and most mycologist will not positively ID a dried mushroom without an autopsy ;)

Im interested to be told otherwise.

Indeed, the difference between psychedelic and non-psychedelic is so minute, I doubt postal inspectors could tell the difference. Mycology is a science for a reason. Although I wouldn't label them shitake, as they look nothing alike.
Since it's best to grind them prior to consumption, grinding them prior to shipping wouldn't hurt, either....but I know how buyers are, they want shrooms, not powder. They also have some weird idea that caps are more potent. When it's in fact the opposite. It's all in the stalk, baby.

I have shipped HUNDREDS of shroom orders. Not one problem at all. Shrooms are probably one of the lowest things to worry about.

True that; it's EXTREMELY difficult to tell many of the illegal shrooms from their legal cousins. That said, most of the ones that look similar and aren't illegal are actually poisonous, but I think the lack of knowledge on the part of the postal worker would probably mean they wouldn't get taken. Any postal worker who can identify them will likely send them along. =]

I like the idea of capsules. so much easier to keep track and measure dose, easy on the belly...

I dont want to sound like a nancy but I am pretty sure its pretty even when it comes to activity in the stalks and caps according to Paul Stammets n Co

Ime when it comes to drying them in a food dehydrator, I pull them apart into 2 or 3 shredded pieces depending on the size, as they dry quicker and better than drying whole mushrooms. In this state, its extremely hard to tell the cubensis from the big jar of dried shiitake I have. But Im still new at shrooms.

I never liked capsules. I like that particular mushy taste for the duration of the trip ;D

You're right. Psilocin & Psilocybin are made in equal amounts. But a cap is hardly any mass whatsoever, while the stalk is 98% of the mass. So, it's all in the stalk.

This. I've done some trials and it's definitely true.

Why would you think the shipment of shrooms would be any different than weed? It'll be the same more or less... double or triple vacumn seal... maybe a stealth dvd if your lucky...

yeah I am still LOL at this sorry.

I will take your 3 gram of caps over your 3 gram of stalks... it will not make any difference to me ::)

that's like a lb of bricks to a lb of feathers. the point I was making is that people think caps are more potent, when they're not.
3 grams of caps requires about 30 grams of stalks to grow them, hence what I was going from. some people think 3 caps will do them better than 3 stalks.

oh I get you now. I always measure my dosages by weight not by actual shrooms. Thats why I couldn't get my head around it ;D ;D
