Now that's what I'd call a fun camping trip. Shrooms in the woods was always awesome. It's been awhile since I've done anything like that.i'm going on a super fun camping trip wit a ton of friends on president's day weekend and i'm thinking about trying to find some mushrooms. i don't know where to find them anymore though.

i sneak my dad's pot. i doubt he has access to mushrooms. also, this is california. people get their pot from the pot store here. i'd have to go to an actual drug dealer for those.
we're going to the salton sea... it's a big smelly lake in the desert just above mexico.
fun facts: a river broke free and flooded an area, resulting in a lake. the lake accumulated salt from the ground, resulting in a highly buoyant water source. people came from miles around to swim and water ski. it was set to become california's new resort town.
the salt continued to grow because the lake had no outlet for the exchange of water and it became a big gross mass of salt water. every so often the fish inside die off and was ashore and now all the ground is piled high with fish bones and rotting carcasses. the town is in shambles.
we don't actually camp at the sea, but a few miles away in the desert. there is this thing called 'salvation mountan'. it's a big pile of rocks that some crazy desert dweller paints with biblical scenes in bright colors. there is also a found art instillation and some hot springs.
i guess we go there because it is free and the whole area is really strange and beautiful. usually there is about 200 people that go on this trip so it's sort of like a 'burning man lite'. i think there will be fewer this time because there have been too many rowdies at the last couple of trips and so no one is doing any advertising this year.
last time i went, i ate mushrooms and it was fucking awesome. i want a recreation, damnit!
I'm JEALOUS. The desert sky at night is a-m-a-z-i-n-g, just blazing with stars, billions of them. Take along a constellation guide and pick 'em out - Orion is at its peak right now in the s. sky. Save the shrooms for the daytime when it's boring.
What I'm saying is... if you're dad doesn't get it from a pot store, whoever he gets it from probably knows someone. Trust me, wherever pot is, shrooms aren't that hard to find.
dad grows it himself. from seeds he got from the pot store. guess i'm screwed.
i don't know anyone who does drugs anymore.
/growing up.
you live in california. you go to college. it has to be accessible.
i bet your dad knows someone.
lol. you'd think. i'm as trusting of where i get drug as i am of being in a relationship. i have to know you for a good long while before i'm willing to put any of what you got in my body...
i know some folks but you'd have to drive pretty far north.
doh. i think i can live without. there will be pots and copious amounts if whiskey.
mmmmm. i love whisky.
Do you smoke? Yes
Do you grow? No
Do you think pot should be legal? Hell yes!
Do you think stoners are just drug addicts who need to find Jesus? No!
What do you feel about the war on drugs, and current jail sentences for marijuana and/or other drug possession?
Free all of those convicted for minor marijuana offense. No more marijuana drug felonies!
Discuss your loves and hates for the pots. Refer really makes me happy. I can't wait to get my prescription
I also love whiskey. Mmmmmm.
I love this kid!
San Francisco Girl Scout smokes competition by selling cookies outside pot shop
<-- she sold all these cookies in 45 MINUTES
A San Francisco Girl Scout is making a killing slinging Thin Mints, Samosas and other goodies outside of a medical marijuana dispensary.
Savvy scout Danielle Lei is planning to return to The Green Cross pot dispensary Saturday after she sold out of her stash in just 45 minutes earlier this week, the business said.
Lei's mom said selling to stoners was no different than selling to anyone else. "They learn that they're not drugged out. Many have serious needs, and are just a little different," Carol Lei told the East Bay Express. "And they get very hungry after!" the 13-year-old chimed in.
The Girls Scouts of California, meanwhile, said they had no problem with the way Lei was rolling. "Girls are selling cookies, and they and their parents pick out places where they can make good sales," Girl Scouts spokeswoman Dana Allen told Mashable.
"We're not telling people where they can and can't go if it's a legitimate business."

two green thumbs up for this girl!
I laughed so hard when I saw that girl on the news. My first thought was "Which one of her parents is a stoner?"Brilliant sales strategy!

Colorado Girl Scouts Not Allowed To Sell Cookies Outside Pot Shops
Posted: 02/24/2014 1:54 pm EST Updated: 02/27/2014 9:59 am EST Print ArticleMain Entry Image
Danielle Lei, an enterprising Girl Scout, sold more than 100 boxes of cookies in just two hours outside of a San Francisco medical marijuana dispensary last week. But the Girl Scouts of Colorado leadership is killing the buzz for local members, saying that Colorado scouts cannot likewise sell cookies in front of pot shops, despite recreational marijuana being legal in the state.
"Our position is really pretty simple," Rachelle Trujillo, chief marketing officer for the Girl Scouts of Colorado, told The Huffington Post. "For years in our council, we've said it's not appropriate for Girl Scouts to sell cookies outside of adult-oriented businesses, and marijuana dispensaries fall right in line with this policy. There's a place for everything, and just like a liquor store or a gun show, a marijuana dispensary isn't a place for young girls to be selling cookies. There are plenty of other options for customers of adult businesses to purchase cookies at other locations."
A post on the official GSCO Facebook page noted Friday that cookie sales also aren't allowed outside of bars, strip clubs or casinos.
Reactions to the organization's policy were mixed, with some commenters applauding the move.
"The decision that GSCO has made is in line with Girl Scouts of America and was based on the overall [organization's] values," Kerry Garcia of Denver wrote on Facebook. "This decision however enables our organization to stay out of [the] political spotlight and instead continue to have the Girl [Scouts'] leaders and children focus on learning to be self sufficient and successful women."
Others on the GSCO page said it was hypocritical not to allow cookie sales in front of marijuana dispensaries.
"Grocery stores sell cigarettes and beer," wrote Kim Hartman O'Donaghue of Colorado. "Is it okay for [scouts] to sell the cookies outside of grocery stores?"
Regardless of the Colorado organization's decree, the association between Girl Scout cookies and recreational pot is already pretty well-established. A popular California strain of marijuana -- a blend of OG Kush, Durban Poison and Cherry Kush, according to Leafly -- is named "Girl Scout Cookies" in honor of the snacks. Last year, a version of the original GSC strain took first prize at the U.S. Cannabis Cup in Denver.

so instead of praising her for her brilliant marketing strategy...
they should just sell them outside of the shop next door...
Oh good grief! They need to take the sticks out of their asses and use them to teach those girls how to build fires like good girl scouts.
girl scouts don't even learn to make fires.
i was so jealous of my brothers.
Really? We learned to make fires in summer camp. I also thought I was Betty Crocker with my easy bake oven.
yeah. we went camping once... in the troop leader's back yard. we made smores over the barbecue. maybe i just had the ghetto troop. i quit very early on.Really? We learned to make fires in summer camp. I also thought I was Betty Crocker with my easy bake oven.
It's crazy that weed is a schedule 1 drug alongside hardcore drugs like heroin. I haven't posted on MDS for a while, but I recently had a life-changing illness related to alcohol overindulgence and sort of have a newfound outlook on life and death. I could easily be a death article right now; another dead MDSer. I turn 36 on Thursday the 13th and am happy and lucky to be alive to see it. Anyway, I smoke weed and it has never tried to kill me. Literally no one overdoses from it. You can't. Alcohol though can fuck you up. So it's just retarded that it's legal and weed's not. Seems like they're fixing that though. We might see that just around the corner here in Cali like Colorado and Washington. And if that happens, I'm gonna grow too.
Colorado Trying to Solve Legal Pot Supply vs. Demand Problem
http://thewest.gawker.com/colorado-t.../+laceydonohueWhen Colorado and Washington State voters legalized marijuana in 2012, cannabis enthusiasts from across the nation were thrilled by the prospect of easy access to hassle-free weed–just hop on a flight to Denver or Seattle, cruise on into a safe and legal pot retailer and walk out with enough high-grade marijuana to keep you more or less permanently stoned.
But it's a pretty safe bet that not many of those people flying into Denver were expecting to pay up to $400 an ounce (which varies wildly) plus up to 30 percent sales tax at the store, though–especially when, with a local connection and a phone call, they could still go visit an old-fashioned neighborhood drug dealer and pay a fraction of the cost for weed that's every bit as fun and couch-locking as the state-sanctioned stuff.
The problem is a simple one of supply and demand–and Colorado is working on some new rules that they really, really hope will make legal weed more affordable while still keeping the state's marijuana crop from traveling out of state to places where it's still extremely illegal.
It's a balancing act that, to this point, hasn't really worked well for anybody–especially consumers.
According to the Associated Press, Colorado pot regulators are working on revising the state's marijuana production rules, which predate full legalization and still limit pot production to the number of medical marijuana patients served by each individual grower.
The result was that, when pot became fully legal to anyone over the age of 21 earlier this year, there was a massive demand for weed that growers limited by the old production caps couldn't meet. The net result was outrageously expensive retail marijuana.
The medical marijuana production caps were kept in place to keep tabs on the amount of weed grown in Colorado in an attempt to keep any of it from accidentally wandering across the state line to decidedly weed-unfriendly places like Kansas and Wyoming.
It's safe to say that it hasn't really worked.
The proposed new guidelines wouldn't necessarily increase the state's overall marijuana production, but it would make it easier for legal growers to add more plants provided that they prove that their selling at least 85 percent of their inventory first.
But here's the something-straight-out-of-Food Inc.-problem with the proposed revised state regulations: smaller (and generally more eco-friendly) greenhouse growers claim that the new rules unfairly favor larger, more resource-exhaustive grow operations often housed in giant warehouses. The proposed rules would cap greenhouse operations at 1,800 plants, while warehouse operations–which typically suck up gargantuan amounts of electricity–would be allowed to grow 3,600 plants.
"The only person who is going to benefit is either the power companies, people who are renting warehouses or people who have built huge growing warehouses," said Thomas Killeen, a would-be greenhouse pot grower from Colorado Springs.
To put the power use issue into context, a single warehouse grow operation uses roughly the same amount of electricity as one of Facebook's data centers. It's estimated that indoor marijuana cultivation accounts for about 10 percent of Denver's annual electricity consumption alone, in Boulder that number rises to 12 percent.
A greenhouse, of course, uses the sun—which does mean slightly lower yields for growers, but is a helluva lot cheaper and certainly cleaner than fossil-fuel generated electricity.
The need for Colorado to change their cannabis production caps is apparent–the state can't possibly hope to generate the promised tax revenue from legal marijuana (much of which is funneled to the state's public schools) if the legal stuff can't even remotely compete pace price-wise with the state's well-stocked black market.
According to new official estimates, marijuana sales tax revenues so far in 2014 are well-short of the state's previous estimates by over $20 million–the ease of obtaining much less expensive medical marijuana (which is taxed at the state's normal 2.9 percent sales tax rate instead of the sky-high nearly 30 percent tax on retail weed in some locations across the state) is a major factor, but the increasing legal supply problems are starting to become a noticeable factor as well.
According to the researchers, nearly 23 percent of the state's marijuana users have medical marijuana cards–a number that lawmakers and policy experts thought would decrease under full legalization but which has actually grown thanks largely to the higher sales tax rate.
Under Colorado law, state residents over the age of 21 can grow up to six plants for their own personal use–but often times those plants wind up on the black market along with resold medical marijuana, denying the state a big chunk of tax revenue.
The proposed marijuana grow operation regulation changes went into provisional effect in June, but the AP reports that the final call on the changes rests with Colorado Department of Revenue Secretary Barbara Brohl, who has not yet set a deadline for a decision.
