Growing mushroom is very easy if you're not a total retard, the market will be absolutely flooded instantly.
You're better off selling it right now, when it is illegal imho ...

>>22644974
> Can I make money off an anti-addictive drug?
Probably not

People won't be buying them in bulk unless theyre planning to capitalize on your price.

Not to mention, people don't normally take these like one would consume cocaine or other "highs".

>>22645106
Possible if you go to raves/festivals or know retards that goes to theses kind of places, but there is far more demand for (fake) mdma/ (fake) lsd/K etc

>>22645142

One word:

>Microdose

>>22645106
Or to put it another way, you can make money off it, but won't be as much as with the horribly addictive drugs. On the other hand, you'll be able to sleep a lot better.

You can make some side money on it now, it's easy as fuck to grow and i assume it's pretty safe to sell police don't give a fuck about mushrooms in my country atleast

>>22645162


Two words:

>Portion Control

>>22645162
This is the consumer play. Absolutely

Funky fungi grower here: Growing mushrooms is very space intensive and you won't be able to grow large quantities without having a warehouse. Though mushroom growing on scale is actually very very profitable.

>>22645090
people thought this for weed but it's super scarce up here. was thinking of starting a grow op tbqh

>>22646612
Is this true for regular food mushrooms as well? I have a lot of space and free time and growing in a warehouse would be feasible for me eventually
>>22646612
>>22646086
Is there a way to sell in bulk or are you just selling to customers like a small scale drug dealer?

>>22644974
please take five grams of mushrooms and reevaluate your whole worldview

selling mushrooms is dumb, you can sell a psilocybin therapy center

>>22646871
>just become a shaman and live in the jungle

>>22646841
Both avenues are pretty wide open right now where I live for individuals wanting to take advantage. I would suggest bulk, less risk, better opsec, more dependable income

>>22646612
>>22646939
Really? I have considered growing some of my one, and there seems to be some demand where I live

>>22646935
don't knock it til you try it

>>22646939
But who do you sell to that is willing to buy in bulk? Are there pharmaceutical companies that will buy in bulk right now? For food mushrooms it seems like they dont have a long shelf life so the only option I can see is selling to local restaurants but convincing them to buy from some rando seems like it would be a tough sell.

>>22647005
As the psilocybin does not degrade readily when dried, bulk is viable. Finding a buyer though, could be troublesome.

>>22644974
Wanna know how you profit with mushrooms? Eat 5 grams of dried psilocybin cubensis and lay in silent darkness.

>>22647048
>not 7
pussy

>>22644974
there is no respectable person that does drugs

No one buys them 3 times

Usually the consumer gets really spooked... Like they trip hard as fuck and then wont do them for years *personal experience

You can make a lil money but it's not long term

>>22646988
Entry barrier is pretty low. Just need some space and a little know-how. Way more discreet than cannabis, low power inputs, low odor, clean, etc etc

>>22647005
Middlemen. Pharma, no.

>>22647109
My experience has been exactly the opposite. 5 years running now

>>22646841
Food mushrooms are in insanely high demand, sell them at a farmer's market or something similar and you'll be raking in cash. People really love food mushrooms. Most sorts are also very easy to grow.

>>22646988
The demand for psychedelic mushrooms will never be saturated because of how much space you need and the ekspertise needed (the simple fact that you need to be clean and watchful is enough to discourage 99% of drug users from ever doing it). I agree with >>22646939 selling magic mushrooms in bulk is the way to do it. The profits won't make you a drug kingpin or nothing but it's a nice side income.
>>22647005
Regarding food mushrooms see my first response and know that there are ways to store fresh mushrooms effectively for more than a week if you control for humidity (not that hard to do but you have to be careful and not a complete brainlet). As for selling psychedelic shrooms in bulk you just need to get in touch with a dealer, trust me on this one, dealers have no way of getting enough magic mushroom to meet demand.

>>22647109
This is the case for a small time dealer who doesn't understand his clientele. This problem is generally why hippies and drug nerds are the ones who are able to be in the psychedelics business long term.

Champignon Brands had a lot of talk earlier this year, boomed and then popped, not sure what happened

>The profits won't make you a drug kingpin or nothing but it's a nice side income.

Exactly. It's a hobby, treat it as such. Just a nice side income to take care of bills and have cash to throw at Uniswap shit coins

>>22647071
For a first-timer, 5 is enough to do it.
The first time I ate mushrooms, I had no idea how much I had, so I ate the entire bag. I later found out that the bag had contained just under 10 grams. I would not recommend that other people do this their first time.

FIRST RULE: buy a scale and do it gradually. SECOND RULE: have fun.

>>22647318
>>22647201
Alright, I might actually get around to doing this. Ill see if I can already make a batch for myself though

>>22647560
Start with cakes, google PF Tek, will get you familiarized and good way to get a personal supply with no experience. Move on to bulk tubs as soon as you can.

If you have like $350 or so I recommend you bite the bullet and build a HEPA flow hood for clean agar transfers. That's gonna be down the road some though.

>>22647467
5 dried grams is far too much for most first timers. If anyone is reading this and want to try magic mushrooms then start with something in the 2-3 range and then move up to the classic 3.5g dosage which is considered to be a true mushrooms experience.

5 grams is what's known as a heroic dose with a near guarantee of ego death. Which basically feels like real death. Feels weird talking about psychs on /biz/ desu.

>>22645090
This. Once it’s “legal” all the big money hogs take over everything via their buddies in the govt imposing regs only they can handle. Same thing happened with weed and before that alcohol . Next is mushrooms and probably cocaine and lsd no joke

>>22647591
>If you have like $350 or so I recommend you bite the bullet and build a HEPA flow hood for clean agar transfers. That's gonna be down the road some though.

Ghetto substitution for this is a homemade glove box. Something to look into.

Yeah pretty much.
Is not ilegal in my country but it's not very known yet, some guys are selling on Instagram but they seem to be making more money from selling grow related stuff

>>22647591
>PF Tek
Yeah those look "easy". How often do pots end up contaminated?

>>22645162
100%

>>22646745

High quality weed is absolutely not easy to grow and has a steep learning curve. Once you have a few major grows under your belt and you're system, you're gucci. But it's incredibly expensive and there are many factors that can fuck up your crop.

>>22647715
That's gonna depend 100% on you mah man

>>22647715
>How often do pots end up contaminated?

If you're able to follow instructions to the letter then we're talking under 1% of cases.

I grow my own. I buy bulk supplies stupid cheap online. You can make cakes pretty small and when flushed efficiently. You can have a ton of potent fungus waiting for consumption. I hook my boys up for free on occasion.

>>22647759
Agreed. Day job is head grower for a commercial operation in the NW. We turn out mid tier like no ones business. For homegrow, you can get some really good quality product going but you have to remember all your input costs not to mention post harvest processing. Trimming your first pound is always awesome but after a couple rounds you're gonna be sick of it

>>22647759
Weed also takes several months to grow. You can have a batch of nice mushrooms In a matter of weeks in prime conditions
