It's Ok to point out a link to legal shroom spores, but remember that we must never start trading the actual shrooms. Although the authorities could give a damn if we are have a pot of shrooms growing in the cupboard (legal over here) they might be more interested if they thought we were trading them...
The old paranoid in may says that one day someone is going to come along with a post like this, and try and catch us out! No offence Jenny :) If that ever happened and someone tried a little to hard to help then it might just ruin all the good work we're doing researching this treatment. the bad publicity of a 'bust' would set us back 10 years.
Please also bear in mind that the authorities are vindictive enough to spend months creating cover identities - EG Donnie Brasco (ha ha I know but I am partly serious). It's OK to swap anecdotes, and share words of wisdom, but no matter how well you think you know another sufferer, if they want to resort to shroom therapy, then they can grow/locate their own.
Just a thought. Another good reason is that the vast majority of people who visit this site have no interest in shroom therapy, and luckily for us they all tolerate it. I'm sure that would quickly change if it became shroomtrading.com.
I for one am really excited by recent developments, namely the fact that we can all now access shroom spores legally, from a common source, and therefore conduct our own little shroom trials. I'm also excited that people like Q, pinky and Miguel are around to theorise on why and how the shrooms/LSD work. And also that we have the possibility of a genuine bonafida clinical trial being conducted by a neurologist.
What I'm trying to say is: BE CAREFUL. BE SENSITIVE TO OTHERS ON THIS SITE. PLEASE DON'T BLOW IT.
