Description
McKennaii Spores!
Comes with 10cc of McKennaii 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 were named after a dude called Terence McKenna who was quite a cool guy from everything I’ve read about him. So it’s a bit of marketing guff, really, but in a nice way. Terence was an ethnobotanist and advocated for the intelligent use of psychedelics in order to become better people. Given that there’s currently a lot of interest in using psychedelics to treat various mental conditions, it seems pretty clear that he had the right idea. Terence was the bloody bugger who named those Penis Envy mushrooms, so thanks Terence, my missus thinks I’m a bit of a weirdo because I’m printing out hundreds of stickers that talk about envying cocks.
Out and about, you’d find these would colonise quickly and grow pretty large and chunky. Nature’s such a tease. You should move to Brazil, then you could grow these and you’d be able to check them out! Second best thing though is to have a look at them under the microscope like a good legal citizen.
Ideally, keep these McKennaii 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 McKennaii 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 McKennaii 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
