In the United Staes psilocybin is a controlled substance. That being said a variety of decriminalization, deprioritization and legalization bills are being enacted on city, county and state wide levels such as in Oakland, CA. 

Ultimately it is up to you to do the research and see if cultivating psilocybin containing mushrooms is right for you.

That being said, it is never illegal to learn about a new subject.

In a sense yes, the use of psilocybin containing mushrooms can be dangerous.

This is not due to any known direct impacts on the body but from some rare drug interactions as well as second tier impacts, like making dangerous choices while under the influence of the substance.

While the above covers physical harm, psychological harm is important to consider as while. Sometimes people who turn to psilocybin for psychological benefit may in fact worsen their symptoms, deepen their distress, or become dissociated from their sense of normalcy after using it. 

While this is no recommendation to use psilocybin containing mushrooms, it should be noted that the choice to use them should not be taken lightly. It is a step best taken in the proper context of personal research, preparation, the support of open minded peers and conjunct therapeutic services and practices. 

Remember that, while psilocybin mushrooms can be a therapeutic tool, they are simply one tool, not a panacea. 

For those in the know this class uses a Ready Rice Shoebox grow method.

If you don't know, ready rice refers to pre-cooked rice that comes sterile packages. 

Shoebox refers to the type of container that is used, in this case a 6qt shoebox. There will be no modifications made to this little tub. 

While this is one of the most common questions the answer is shockingly simple. 

In all states but Idaho and Georgia spores are easily purchased from online vendors. They arrive in discreet packaging and typically cost between $10-$20.

My most highly recommended source is InoculateTheWorld.com
You can use the code "rising" for 10% off.

It is worth your while to check out their "spore isolate" product and skip regular spores all together.

You are eligible for a refund for up to 30 days after purchase, no questions asked. After 30 days there are no refunds. 

While times are changing it is understandable that some people are still hesitant to associate themselves with psychedelics or psilocybin, etc. Here are some ideas for remaining anonymous if it is important to you.

If you are purchasing only the course then it is relatively simple to make your payment with a pre-paid visa gift card.

If you are ordering a kit then you can also feel free to use an alternative address and name. 

At this time videos are available for streaming only. 

There is a lot of room for variability in this process however, if you stick to the process then you should be able to produce your first mushrooms in as little as six weeks.
