    For the record - I used to sell shrooms, like a lot of them, so with that in mind:

    The difference in strains is basically down to the amount of psychoactive compound it has, and whatever's going on in your head when you buy / prepare / consume them. Literally, there is no difference between strains other than the amount of psilocybin in.

    I know you know otherwise, but trust me, you're wrong.

    GT's just an easy to grow cubensis strain. The reason it exists in a popular context is because it happened to be easy to cultivate and was used back when growing mushrooms at home became popularised. It might be stronger or weaker than other cubensis strains, but you could take more of a weaker strain or less of a stronger one and end up with exactly the same physical response. Everything else is just your mind building up a narrative for itself. Of course, that's cosy, but don't let it dictate a trip (eg. "Oh gee, I think these mushrooms aren't good - i think they're going to give me a bad trip". No - you're doing that to yourself, the mushrooms are entirely innocent).

    I'm labouring this as people can get fixated on one particular strain and get antsy if they can't come by it again.
