A brief update - Panaeolus Cyanescens Video to be released tomorrow & other news (Patreon)

Just wanted to let everyone know that the Pan Cyan vid I've been working on for more than a year is finally going to be finished tomorrow. I've been working almost around the clock on it lately to wrap it up, but I need to fact check a few last items and do a final review before I actually release it. It's a little bit more than a typical "how to" vid. I did an enormous amount of research, talked with chemist experts in forensic analysis, did thin layer chromatography work, microscopy work, and numerous start to finish grow outs from spores (each one taking several months) just to try new things, and tweak/refine everything. I'm hoping this will end up being considered one of the more important mushroom vids out there. Time will tell... Hope you are all doing well and staying healthy.
We certainly live in interesting times. Just this month Seattle became the largest U.S. city to decriminalize psychedelic substances, with the passage of Resolution 32021. The measure, approved unanimously, concluded that “the investigation, arrest, and prosecution of anyone engaging in entheogen-related activities should be among Seattle’s lowest law enforcement priorities.” They have also rolled out new rules to protect individuals who cultivate "entheogens for use in religious, spiritual, healing, or personal growth practices” - police cannot detain or arrest such people or confiscate psychedelics. There is also talk of possible psychedelics related legislation coming next year at the federal level - exciting.
I'll leave you with this last thought, a newly published study confirms what most of us probably already knew, but... "magic mushrooms make music more emotional to our brain". The scientists found that psilocybin increased the participants’ reported emotional response to the music by an average of 60%.
[UPDATE: The vid is done!]
