So I have taken shrooms once before, years ago with friends and I think these were dried liberty caps, but cannot be sure. I really enjoyed them and want to have another go but don’t know where to start.

Can anyone help me out here, what shrooms do I need to be looking for? There’s many on here and I’m not sure what’s for me.

Thanks💚

I've been considering this topic for a while now but a recent experience prompted me to see what others think.

I think I'm pretty much done with buying Cali bud. I'd never tried any before joining LB last year but I've tried numerous strains from a variety of different but reputable vendors now and my overall conclusion is that I'm going to stick with well-grown UK bud.

All of the mids I've tried so far have suffered from the same issues: overly dry, barely any terps so smell & taste is crap, and a lot of the flower is clearly PGR to boot. I'm guessing the lack of terps could be partly due to long periods of being vac packed for shipping but I can't help the feeling there's a reason this stuff is being shipped over to us here in bulk instead of being consumed within the US.

Full disclosure, I've only gone up to Mids level and haven't ever tried 'top tier' Cali, so I can't say whether that would change my mind. Quite frankly, I'm not prepared to fork out $100 for an eighth when I can pay less than half of that for an equivalent amount of cracking UK produce from the likes of RealD, Druids, BB, Sassy, GC, Eddy's, etc. Every single one of them has sent me gear that's put the Cali that I have tried to shame and I see no reason to spend the extra for a potential disappointment. Granted, the top level stuff might be high enough in THC to put me on my arse after two tokes but that's not really what I'm after, especially if it looks, smells and tastes like last year's fire kindling and costs the same for 2g as a half oz of homegrown.

Do any other biggas agree or do I need to try that top drawer stuff and then eat my words?

Just a quick update as I posted something similar on reddit and a couple of people who are also trying to quit messaged asking for how it’s going. So I thought if anyone else is in similar boat i’d post a little update here as well on how it’s been and to also give a little place for people ask questions or for any advice.

So, it’s been a rollercoaster couple weeks for me, from losing my job and therefore having to move out of my flat 😢, to trying to quit tobacco and combustion, and then coming down with a horrible bout of the flu at the same time, it’s all been a bit of a whirlwind. But i’m very pleased to say i’m officially over 1 week tobacco free! However, i did combust (without tobacco) over the weekend with my flat mates as a final farewell with me leaving this week, but that was more ceremonial and a practical reason rather than caving in and needing to combust.

The dry herb vaporiser has been an absolute god send, and thankfully it’s made not using tobacco a lot easier than i thought. I’d highly recommend anyone looking to quit either tobacco or combustion or both to invest in one. The taste and terps you get through the vape are unrivalled and completely different to smoking. i’ve been on BBs future#1 which has been lovely and super clean (I was going to post a full review of this but as it’s out of stock now it may be a bit of a ‘dick move’ to talk about some great flower in depth if another bigga reading can’t also purchase). The stone is so much cleaner than with smoking, and having variable temps so you can really dial in the terps and flavours of your bud is great. Flower also lasts a lot longer and I can get decently stoned with around 1/4 of what i’d usually use when i’d smoke. Also you can use your ABV for edibles so you really do get the most out of your flower and with my financial situation right now I definitely need to get the most out of my flower.

I’ve definitely been more determined this time round with the tobacco and actually wanting to quit, instead of knowing I should quit but not actually wanting to quit if that makes sense. That change in mindset for me has helped a hell of a lot. I used to really like the throat hit with the tobacco but now with the dry herb vape i’ve found it so much better due to flavours and cleaness of the stone that it out weighs the throat hit for me and I can’t see myself going back to tobacco anytime soon. The thing i’ve found hardest with the tobacco was quitting the rollies in social situations. I tend to have a cigarette after i’ve had a couple drinks at birthday or christmas party or whatnot, and my will power fades very quickly after a couple drinks. But it just takes 1 night of not smoking to realise you can socialise and have a drink without needing a cigarette and I think it’s more habitual rather than something you need, well at least in my case it was.

Flower usage is also up quite high atm as my health conditions worsen quite considerably when i’m stressed, and these last couple weeks have been super stressful, so i’ve been medicating a lot more than I usually would. So i’ve had a lot more usage out of the dry herb vape than I thought I would at this point so maybe i’ve found coming off tobacco and combustion a bit easier as I’ve been vaping a lot more and therefore had more opportunities to get used to it.

I’m quite happy with where I’m at atm, and I can’t see myself going back to using tobacco with flower again, however I can see myself rolling a joint on occasions or when i’m with friends or something, and i’m happy to be at that level for now. I’ve even found combusting with just flower now to be not as nice as vaping and i’ve kind of gone off it but yeah I can see myself combusting and rolling a joint on the odd occasion still.

Sorry about the long post as well, I’m very good at rambling and feel like i’ve just verbal diarrhoea’d a massive post (very easy to do when you’re a bit stoned and feeling creative) but I’ll be sure to try cut these down in the future.

I may make another update if people would like to see it or anything changes from my side, but if no one’s interested i’m happy to leave it here.

Also, if anyone has any questions or would like any very mediocre advice from myself about anything, pls feel free to comment or send me a message and i’ll be sure to answer as quickly as possible 😊

Have a merry christmas everyone 🎄🎁 and I wish you the best for the new year!

Do we see any of these more ‘exotic’ types of hash any more? Obviously we are flooded with the Moroccan filtered stuff, and great to see decent Leb making a comeback, but I would really love to lay my hands on some quality cream of some sort. Any ideas, anyone?

nothing to worry about here folks

Like in topic, give me your best picks, my fav is definitely 420cafe, excellent parvati cream they have <3
Cheers!
