mushroom tea vs. lemon tech

i have read a little about it, but i figured what's the harm in making a new thread.

so which method is "better" tea or lemon tech?

and how do you make tea with mushrooms? i know how to do the lemon tech.

thanks

 

grind em up and throw em in hot water

either way works well though i think the acidity of lemon tek wins out over the temperature of mush tea and its still the winner for punch

 

for punch? you mean for intensity/quickness of comeup?

i would worry that boiling water would damage some of the psilocin, but i guess not as wiki lists the boiling point ~170 C

 

after you do your first lemon shot, prepare to do it for the next few trips....

Id say it makes the comeup slightly faster/more intense, but ends up beings twice as strong as an "eaten" does, and I usually eat a .5 after a lemon tech just to....lengthen the tail end of the trip.

never made tea, don't see a reason too

 

i think i may eat 3.8 grams of the shrooms (plain) and on a later trip lemon tech 1.7 grams.

 

or just lemon tek 5.5g

 

I honestly dont see a reason other than not having lemons to ever eat shrooms plain again. It also makes the shrooms go down easier, for me atleast....the texture of the liquid isn't very appealing though.

 

you don't (seriously) think that could be a bit too much? if it is supposed to double it in intensity...i don't think i'm ready for an "11g" mushroom trip. i could see myself eating 5.5g plain though.

 

Dude, I don't think the lemon tek really doubles potency like that.
Last time I did it I did an eighth and other than decreasing come up time I didn't notice much of an increase in potency.
You're way too...precautious with your dosing man....honestly it's a bit ridiculous at times.

 

really? in my experience it definately increases the potency, if not 2x stronger its atleast 1.8x stronger.

 

i dont own scales..

 

I wouldn't say it's a literal 200% increase in strength. Subjectively it feels much stronger because it hits you much faster, all at once. I'd say 5.5 tek'd probably feels like 7 dry or something, if that. I dunno how potent your shrooms are, but you of all people need to sit down one day and commit yourself to a high dose SOMETHING, and high dose mushrooms is a hell of a thing. But it needs to happen when you're ready to not be afraid anymore. once you have your first high dose experience with something and see that what everyone has been telling you all along is true you'll probably lose a lot of this unnecessary trepidation. trust in yourself to be able to handle it, thats all you need.

 

last summer me and some friends went through an ounce or so trying to determine how much more potent lemon teks feel, and we agreed upn 2X, hence why I say it.

Some at shroomery report 3-5X as strong, that seems a little farfetch'd

 

eating 5.5 grams of shrooms is a high dose in my opinion. i've never eaten more than 3.5 grams at once. and that was a few years ago.

 

Correct, it is a high dose. You make it sound like therefore it will not be done.

 

I dont think I'd be able to stomach 5.5 grams, I start gagging and burping and tearing and spitting ect once ive eaten like 2 grams....they do not mix with my tastebuds.

 

If I was gonna do that, I'd just tek half of it and eat the other half, but all for one trip.

does anyone have anything other than subjective experiences to verify this? any actual data collected from controlled studies? i've heard, but haven't seen anything to confirm it that your stomach acid destroys a lot of the alakloids in the mushrooms anyways. if this is in fact the case? wouldn't the citric acid also have a destructive effect on the alkaloids also? i know one thing that does in fatc have a potentiating effect on the psilocybin, an MAOi and an empty stomach during taking them. also feeding the mushrooms a tryptamine during their growth cycle has been shown to increase psilocybin content also. with this in mind i could also see taking 5-htp supplementation along with the mushrooms as increasing potentcy.

 

Can't you feed shrooms certain tryptamines during growth to alter the chemicals the shrooms will produce? Not just the potency levels?
