Description
Mars Spores!
Comes with 10cc of Mars spores, an 18g needle to get your spores onto the slides, and an alcohol wipe so you can ensure that your microscope is super clean.
These seem to be another one with an unidentified origin – I suppose at the end of the day they’re all rad so I guess it’s a “choose your own adventure” kind of thing all over again. In the classic 1990’s film, “Total Recall” (based on a book by Philip K Dick who absolutely did more than his fair share of psychedelics), it’s commonly thought that Doug Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) says “get your ass to Mars” in an effort to convince himself to break free, find the truth waiting for him on Mars, and meet a three-titted lady. Thanks to modern technology, it has now been discovered (by me, whilst high) that what he actually says is “get your ass to Ma’s“. That’s right; he’s only gone and forgotten his mum’s birthday. What a chump. Old Mama Quaid ain’t gonna be very happy when there’s no Ferrero Rochers to unwrap.
And to be honest, I’ve even gone back-and-forth on the idea of space hookers having three titties. Sure, when I was a young man, the idea of “breasts+1” seemed like a great idea but now as a semi-functional adult with a partner, the idea of having to buy them underwear that is somehow even more complicated just sounds to me like something else I would be likely to fuck up. I’m not leaning into the macho stereotypes here but there’s just so much choice as it is, it’s bewildering. I’m quite happy to keep the amount of breasts at two or less, this is a known quantity for bra manufacturers and I am likely to be able to find the right items, saving me from once again making a fool of myself.
Ideally, keep these Mars spores refrigerated, where they will happily last a couple of years. Magic mushroom spores are tough like that – don’t let them freeze though! Failing that, you can keep them in a nice dark cupboard where they’ll be just fine for at least six months. They’re pretty simple to store. You can even use them multiple times, just replace the needle cap back on (don’t remove the needle as that’s one more chance for contaminants to get in there), and the next time you go to use them, heat the needle up with a lighter until it glows red. Simple! You could even put them back into the supplied bag if that’s your jam.
These Mars spore syringes have been produced in the UK using a flowhood in order to make sure that what you see under the microscope is exactly what’s supposed to be there and nothing else – just premium Mars spores!
Handy dos and don’ts:
DO:
- Keep it somewhere cool and dark, it’ll keep for 6 months+
- Keep it in the fridge maybe, it’ll last for years there
- Enjoy microscopy, it’s a great hobby
- Read/watch a variety of microscopy techniques across sites like Reddit and YouTube, knowledge is power
- Be really clean when you’re handling it, it’s critical
DON’T:
- Drink it. You can, it won’t hurt you, it’s just very expensive pop at that point
- Try and grow anything with it, unless you live somewhere where that is legal
- Store it anywhere dusty, dirty, or hot
- Try and do your microscopy in a drafty, dusty room
