    Never ever done shrooms surprisingly. Never really appealed to me tbh. Heard some stories of them really messing people up though.

    I use coffee grounds mixed in with my coir - makes a nicely draining grow média and keeps the pH low. I'm intended to get some shrooms going, or possibly the truffles just out of curiosity. I like to free range forage though, cos it's fun so I'd always do my morning walks with a bag anyway

    I think you're probably right. I'm not sure it's about tolerance though, I expect it's more to do with resources being spread thin already so they prioritise important stuff.
    Certain police I know are tolerant of it and do turn a blind eye - they can't wait until it is at least decriminalised because it's such an innocuous crime as it stands and causes them less trouble than drinkers do.

    My wife’s sister thinks she may have the coronavirus.
    She has been in touch with her GP and been advised to monitor the situation and call back if the symptoms worsen.
    I sincerely hope not because she suffers from COPD and is also on the highly vulnerable list.
    She says that she hasn’t been out for 3 weeks, so we have our fingers crossed that it is not covid.
    If it is the virus, we are wondering how she contracted it - online food delivery maybe.

    Early days. Not sure when the symptoms started, but hoping it is a different “bug”.

    Here’s a positive message from the town of Benijófar, about 10 minutes from my house in Spain. The hospital mentioned is also about 10 minutes away, but in the opposite direction.
    The lockdown seems to be working.

    Shrooms is the name usually given to the Liberty Cap, Psilocybe semilanceata, which contains the psychedelic drug psilocybin, a mild hallucinogen. Pretty harmless too.

    They were magic mushrooms or mushies when I used to pick them on Southampton common.

    They could sell recordings of Trump’s speeches to insomniacs. So boring and uninformative. He could learn from New York’s Mayor.

    Some people's behaviour during this crisis is unbeleivable at times and the police have had to enforce the rules against parties and large groups and so on. In the main I support the police having to deal with it.
    But there have also been some concerns about them overreacting and to be honest this type of ludicrous response does their reputation no good at all.

    This yesterday from Northamptonshire's Chief Constable ffs

    And now this today

    You could be forgiven for thinking some police are enjoying their extra powers. Idiots.
