    I pay $30 1/8, and I live in GA. But I've heard of people in GA that pay up to $50 1/8 for equally potent shrooms.

    Friend prices: $15 an eigth.
    Non-friend prices: $20/25 an eigth. I don't make much of a profit.

    The prices I've seen around are like $25-$35 an eigth, but i've seen them higher on occasion. They aren't very popular around here... probably due to taste.

    20-25$, sometimes cheaper, all depends on the day. I don't really buy them that often, too expensive.

    what are you talking about toketrip? almost every drug user i know in the columbus area LOVES mushrooms. theres definitely a HUGE market for them here, but people realize what a rip off paying more than 10-15 bucks an eighth for them is, so they dont buy them all the time.

    top-notch....you guys actually pay that much for shrooms in GA? don't you realize they grow like weeds down south in coastal regions? why the hell would people willingly pay that much when they COULD be had for free?

    it amazes me when people tell me how much they pay for shrooms. the first two times i shroomed i bought them, and it cost me 30 an eighth. but i didnt know any better, really. since then i've only bought shrooms one other time, three eighths for $70. still a terrible rip off.

    for the other ~30 or so mushroom trips i've taken, i have always grown my own, and it never cost me more than roughly two or three bucks a dose AT MOST.

    mushrooms are one of the most incredible rip offs in the drug market today, along with LSD (one really weak hit can cost as much as $7-10)

    how the hell can people justify charging $30-50 an eighth except out of sheer greed? almost all times that i've shared mushrooms with people it was free of charge. in the few instances in which i've sold them, i dont think it was EVER more than 15 an eighth.

    its not like pot which requires expensive lights, fertilizers, odor reducers, soil/hydroponic set ups, quality seedstock, etc. etc.

    spores are cheap, grain is cheap, vermiculite and perlite are cheap, and jars and terrariums can be used over and over again. there are no expensive, energy-wasting lights needed, there is no ozone generator or hydroponic equipment or fertilization, and they grow far faster and more compact than pot, too, and almost nothing is thrown away (unlike leaves and stems and roots!) so you can have much higher yields in much less time with MUCH less initial financial investment than if you're growing pot.

    this is what happens when people are either greedy, money grubbing bastards with no regard for the sacred aspect of psychedelics, or when they are too stupid to grow/pick their own and end up buying and selling along a chain, always raising the price just to make a small profit. its absolutely rediculous, and anyone that pays more for shrooms than they would for pot is a fucking chump!

    for the price you folks are paying for two eighths of shrooms, you could have ounces at your disposal if you're willing to invest a little time and effort into it. i'm not too keen on shrooms at this point and don't care to grow anymore for a while, so if i want shrooms i will pay for them if i can get them for less than 30....but i always curse the dealer under my breath....but then it IS my choice to buy them.....

    god damn though, it always surprises me what people charge for this stuff. it's natural, it's quicker and easier and more discreet to grow than pot....yet people charge MORE for it.....just because they can :(

    I'm not educated enough on the subject of picking my own so I don't wanna risk it. And I looked into buying a growing kit, but they are illegal in GA and CA so online companies won't ship here. So I do what I have to do when I feel the urge to go shroomin.

    whew, no need to quote the entirety of such a long post! :p

    anyway, yeah, dont buy a growkit, they're rip offs anyhow. use pf tek. and yes, spores are illegal in GA, and most companies SAY they wont ship to GA or CA, but that doesnt mean they actually WONT. try a european company (they aren't likely to follow state by state restrictions anyway, and will probably ship anywhere in the US with no questions asked) or just try a company that SAYS they dont ship to you, fill out an order anyway, and if they really wont send them to you then they should notify you and let you know, and not charge you for an order they refuse to fill. most likely you'll get them no problem, after all, there are a couple of foreign companies that SAY they dont send RCs to the US at all but still do if you bother to place an order anyhow.....just try it, and only place a small order. if they dont ship them, they shouldnt charge you, and if they do than if you only ordered, say, one spore syringe, you won't be out any more than $20 if you go with a reasonably priced supplier. most good suppliers are cheaper than that, though.

    or if you have a trusted friend/relative in another state, send them money in the mail or wire it to them, have them place the order and then send it to you when they receive it. interstate mail is not checked, and drug dogs aren't going to be trained to sniff out spore solution!

    i agree, dont go hunting if you don't know your stuff, but still....they grow like weeds, and i'd think the people that DO go picking shouldnt be charging more than 10 bucks an eighth at most, since they didnt grow them themselves and they are making PURE profit. if someone down there is charging 50 dollars an eighth....well....i'm by no means a violent person, but if i WAS....they had better watch out! cause thats just disgusting....

    it's a damn shame at how expensive mushrooms are these days....i really think they should never be over 15 a 1/8.... period. anything more is just a plain ripoff..if more people put the time and effort into growing them then there would be a mass production with them flowing everywhere which would be sweet....and then there could be good prices for them everywhere..thats what i think

    theres more than enough shrooms around, its just the people that grow them typically do so for personal use. i myself, at my height, would usually have about half an ounce at least sitting around, i just never sold them cause i had no desire to. people that actually grow on a commercial scale have WAY MORE than enough to probably sell for about 5 bucks an eighth in quantity and make a profit, but they dont because they're greedy bastards like everyone else...i dunno, tons of people grow, but said people generally isolate themselves and their supply and dont like talking about it much because of the consequences if you're caught - which is probably quite a lot worse than the consequences of growing pot!

    i dunno...i've thought about growing commercially, but in all honesty i'm only good enough at it to manage a personal supply at most, and even then its generally sporadic....plus theres just a kind of pride i get knowing that i only make legitimate money, and that i'm not ripping people off on drugs.

    yea man for sure, if i grew my own then i would just basically give em away for free and spread the psychedelic experience cause they are awesome, whenever i buy a lot i just share them amongst my friends for free, thats how it should be all over the place. people have to learn how to be generous and all that good stuff, so i try my best

    thing is drugs aren't just for "hippies" anymore and "hippies" in that sense dont exist for the most part outside of road/festival folks, despite what their clothing and hair may suggest. much, if not most, of the values of the psychedelic age have been lost, and the drug market is as much about money as any other market out there, and since most of todays drug users were born and raised in the 70s 80s and 90s, business and capitalism may well have a bigger impact on us and our minds than the folks dropping acid back in the 60s and early 70s.

    i've had it pointed out by social sciences teachers that while america is a capitalist nation in nature, it is not pure lassez-faire capitalism and the prices of goods and services ARE adjusted and not strictly dictated by supply and demand. same teachers point out that the only TRULY capitalistic, unregulated market at all is the drug market and other black market industries. i've realized it's true, and a sad fact indeed.

    it's a damn shame how money has to revolve around everything in life, if that wasn't the case then i don't think it would be lost, i think it probably would have grown stronger, at least thats what i would hope for

    Most people round UA don't want mushrooms. It's hard to sell anything harder than acid/x, and most people are anti-shrooms.
