The cost to make my cure, update #1

Bottom line: if you kindly send me US$65, I will make more progress towards recovering.

Psilocybin can cure my health problems, so I am making it. Ten days ago, I projected that to buy the equipment to take the next steps, I needed, at most, MXN$1677. After an exhausting search, I bought everything for only MXN$1226.60, 73% of my budget. I’m posting shorter updates on Twitter, add me.

Steps to produce psilocybin

  1. Sterilize equipment
  2. Prepare “seed” from fruiting bodies or from spores
  3. Prepare substrate in container
  4. Add the “seed” to the substrate container
  5. Put seeded substrate container into colonizing chamber
  6. When substrate is fully colonized, add sterile water
  7. Put fully colonized substrate container into fruiting chamber
  8. Use spores and fruiting bodies to create new “seed”
  9. Harvest and preserve fruit bodies

Equipment cost and status

Since the first post, I have updated actual costs, researched and revised projected costs, and refined the equipment list. To improve readability, I have broken the items into multiple tables.

Equipment I need

[table id=8 /]

Some of the equipment is quite expensive, such as the food dehydrator. I want to find alternatives to lower these costs.

Immediate needs

Finding the nutrient substrate was impossible. I bought some alternatives, but I’m still researching how to proceed. I might need to buy some other grain.

I must make at least four new agar plates, so I must have the digital scale. I feel that I should be able to get a better price, though.

I’m using the duct tape and super glue for important things such as the chambers. Therefore, I will buy quality instead of junk.

I’m ambivalent about thermometers in the substrate because I expect the cost to be excessive.

The estimates in the table below are the maximum I would spend.

Need for cash

MXN$1200 is US$65 according to PayPal. This is my chance to recover. Please support my return to society. PayPal account: [email protected]
