About

Golden Teacher R44 is a rare and robust variant of Psilocybe cubensis, believed to be derived from the elusive R44 strain, known for its reliability, visual clarity, and uplifting emotional profile. This hybrid version combines the spiritual wisdom of Golden Teacher with the stable performance and gentle power of R44, resulting in an ideal strain for those seeking a clean, balanced psychedelic journey.

History

The R44 strain itself is shrouded in some mystery, likely emerging from experimental cultivation and shared through underground grower networks. Its reputation for steady potency, predictable flushes, and emotional warmth made it a prime candidate for crossing with Golden Teacher.

It has gained favor among both novice and experienced users seeking structure, comfort, and uplifting introspection.
