“Blue Meanie” refers to at least two distinct species of mushroom. One is a Psilocybe cubensis strain. The second species, Panaeolus cyanescens, is regarded as the “genuine” Blue Meanie. Both are psychotropic and are occasionally used recreationally or medically, but they are not interchangeable (though be careful, as some writers do mix them up). First, Panaeolus cyanescens is far more powerful, necessitating different dose requirements. Here, we will discuss Blue Meanie, the P. cubensis strain.

There are several cultivated strains of P. cubensis, some of which were gathered in the wild and others that were produced by farmers. Blue Meanie is believed to be one of the former, since it was discovered in Australia. It does, in fact, bruise blue when touched, although it is not very vicious (those who have watched the film Yellow Submarine will get the allusion).

People often refer to P.cubensis and all of its numerous strains when they say “mushrooms” or “magic mushrooms.” It is not the only species of hallucinogenic mushroom; dozens of others also contain large levels of psilocybin, and certain Amanitas have a quite different psychoactive ingredient, moscimol; yet, it may be the most popular. It is a worldwide weed that feeds on the excrement of animals (it can be cultivated on other substrates, though). Its fruiting bodies are normally medium-sized, with caps that are light brown and a webby partial veil that rips shortly before to spore discharge. However, there is considerable diversity in color, size, cap form, and psilocybin content.

There is considerable disagreement as to whether or not various strains generate distinct trips. Certainly, trip experiences vary greatly, but at least a portion of this variety is attributable to differences in the biochemistry of the users and the particulars of their set and location. Some individuals believe that a cube is a cube, and that while the strains vary in potency, their trips have no consistent, discernible characteristics beyond their identification as P. cubensis.

Psilocybe mushrooms are relatively safe to take (and a favorite for microdosing), but they are not risk-free. Most users experience at least some nausea with their trip, and more significant side effects, some of them serious, are possible. Responsible users pay attention to safety, increase dosage cautiously, and have a sober friend on hand to deal with any practical matters that may come up or to help cope with any physical or psychological issues in case the trip does not go as planned.

It’s worth noting that psilocybin, and anything that contains psilocybin, including Psilocybe mushrooms, is illegal to buy, sell, or possess in most jurisdictions. Please do not do anything that results in your going to prison.

Effects of Blue Meanies Mushrooms For Sale

Blue Meanie is considered among the most potent P. cubensis strains, with a high that is visual, physical, euphoric, energetic, and introspective. The trip usually begins anywhere from forty-five minutes to an hour after ingestion, though since the effects can go on intensifying for some time, users are advised not to take any more until at least three hours after the first dose. Trips can last four to five hours.

Dosage of Blue Meanies Mushrooms For Sale

Sometimes, sellers advise dosage sizes (such as one gram for Blue Meanie), but it’s not that straightforward. Is the user a novice who desires a very low first dose? A veteran who wants to ascend as far as possible? A microdoser? And is the mushroom dry or fresh (fresh mushrooms contain a great deal of water, so the dosage will be higher)? Is the user large or small? It is possible to compute a rough estimate of the P. cubensis dose, but since user sensitivity and mushroom potency differ, the result is merely approximative.

Blue Meanie is a notoriously powerful strain, thus its dosage will be less than typical, assuming all other factors remain constant.

Consequently, if you want to discover a dose that works for you, see our general dosage advice for magic mushrooms. You may also use our dosage calculator for magic mushrooms, which offers six dosage levels, including microdose and heroic dose. Lemon Tek and mushroom tea are popular means of intake among Blue Meanies.

Growing Blue Meanie Cubensis

Blue Meanie fruits prolifically, though the individual mushrooms are not especially large. Colonization time is relatively short. There are no particular guidelines for growing this strain, as it does well in all of the methods usually used for P. cubensis. The only caveat is that whatever method a grower users, it’s important to do the method properly. Follow the instructions. Hybrid methods or sloppiness usually yield poor results. Blue Meanie is considered one of the easier strains to grow.

Buying vs. Growing Blue Meanie Cubensis

Both buying and growing magic mushrooms like Blue Meanie Cubensis have their advantages and disadvantages. Growing mushrooms is, per dose, dramatically cheaper. For the cost of a single dose online, it’s possible to produce several dozen doses at home. Growers who collect their own spores (the procedure is simple; just leave a mushroom un-harvested until it fully matures and then make a spore print) can keep growing the same strain indefinitely by buying only more substrate. Although there are strains that are hard to collect spores from, Blue Meanie is not one of them.

Buying is faster, simpler, and a much better option for people who really only want one or two doses (novices who don’t know if they’ll like psilocybin, for example).

There is also the issue of legal risk. In some areas, personal use of psilocybin has been decriminalized, but possession is still illegal. That puts growing Psilocybes in murky legal territory, and growers could find themselves very much at the mercy of the court. For them, buying a dose or two at a time may simply make more sense.

Where psilocybin has not been decriminalized, users find themselves between the proverbial rock and a hard place. With the exception of some jurisdictions, Psilocybe spores are legal to buy, sell, and possess, since the spores do not contain psilocybin. That means it’s possible to buy everything necessary for a grow without breaking the law—until the moment the spores germinate. For users secure in their privacy, the opportunity to buy everything legally is a great help. However, growers do have large amounts of illegal materials on hand for weeks or months at a time, a situation that could be a lot riskier than having a single dose in the house for a day or two every so often.

There is also the issue of quality. Buying Psilocybes means trusting the supplier—that’s great if the supplier is trustworthy, but if one isn’t, the buyer cannot sue or otherwise do anything about it. Home growers know exactly what they’ve got.
