       | I live in a US state where they are illegal and have no idea how
       | I'd even get some. I suppose I could travel to somewhere where
       | they're legal, but wouldn't know where to go or what to do when I
       | got there.

         | Plenty of info on the web about magic mushrooms. Pick some, dry
         | them, weigh them, eat them. Easy!

           | fatal.

         | Do your research, but I'm fairly confident that buying/
         | shipping mushroom spores is a legal gray area and not
         | technically illegal in most places. It's only once you've
         | propagated the spores that it becomes illegal. So if you're
         | comfortable with growing a few in a plastic container under
         | your bed and then destroying the evidence (by ingesting it
         | hehe), this might be the best path for you. Much less risky
         | than asking randos at parties or something.

         | 
         | Relax and enjoy the outdoors, ingest them orally or drink them
         | in a tea.
         | 
         | Don't think too much about it and just use it as a time for
         | reflection and to get out in nature, which is always valuable
         | with or without mushrooms.

           | for breaking down organic matter.

         | Step 1: Search "magic mushroom t-shirt" on etsy - buy several
         | to get that psychonaut/burning man deep playa drip. Step 2:
         | Join your local boutique yoga studio (note the Y or big box is
         | sub-optimal, although the silver sneakers programs are a good
         | place to score weed). Extra credit if they emphasize
         | breathwork, meditation, spirituality or ayurveda. Step 3: Wear
         | said t-shirts to said class. <You are fire my man - own it>
         | Step 4: Someone will approach you regarding their overpriced
         | shamanic psycho-ceremonial psilocybin healing retreat (long
         | story short they used to work in the valley and they "exited"
         | and became a lifestyle entrepreneur/coach/womb healer) - this
         | could be for you (its a relatively safe space, although
         | pricey). Else, keep going to class - keep reppin the set - the
         | fungus will find you. Most likely in the form of a texted menu
         | of truffles, teas and capsules that a single mom in the class
         | orders from her friend in Portland.
