has anyone made mushroom tea and eaten them before and is there a difference in effects or potency. also i think it would be kool to add some psytrosis viridis and mugwort and maybe cal. poppy to the tea. does anyone think that sounds as good as i do.
i haven't made tea myself, but i believe it makes them more fast acting and a bit more intense to make it in a tea. it also is apparently a lot better on your stomach, although i've personally never had any problems handling psilocybin mushrooms just from eating them straight. you come up a little faster but don't expect it to be THAT much more intense than eating. i love the idea of a sort of "brew", although i'd suggest using syrian rue or something, either in addition to the psychotria viridis or as a replacement. the MAOI would potentiate the mushrooms (be careful with this, taking too high a dose of mushrooms with a strong MAOI can be very intense!), but also activate the viridis (you probably know, but oral DMT is ineffective unless taken with an MAOI- putting it in wouldn't do anything in terms of changing the trip unless you add some sort of MAOI.) a few months ago when mushrooms were still around i wanted to make a tea with morning glory seeds, poppy seeds, and mushrooms. never got around to it, but i say, go for the mixture if you have the resources. a little experimentation might bring you something wonderfully surprising.
I imagine a psilocybin+Ayahuasca brew would be quite the mind bender. I've never done any form of DMT myself.
ya i read that in "the psychedelic experience" a book by tim leary about going through mind expanding experiences, its a kool book so far
i doubt passionflower would be enough to activate the DMT to a sufficient level, although from experience, it does seem to potentiate mushrooms. i used a tincture with passionflower extract during my last mushroom trip and it defintely was more powerful than the mushrooms alone (i'd had several trips from the same batch). i'd say, if you can get syrian rue, definitely go with that. but, if not, it wouldn't hurt to try passionflower- if you do, though, don't expect much from the viridis.
I have used mushrooms as a tea - the potency is inconsistant - ie. it's hard to know how much to use. It is smoother on the stomach.
I have dranked it in tea~form a couple of times and it works out fine for me. Although the process is a bit different, you know, it's like the trips shortens some, but not too much to me. The trip also goes on much faster, you start feeling it in just a few minutes! But since you do not ingest it all I guess it could take some out of the dose but that is really not my experience. It feels a lot better than eating them... Quick and safe. I drink it cause I cannot stand the taste, I got to much emotions attatched to the mush~experience that would burst if I taste/smell it. I also tried recently something new where I grinded the dose and put it into orange~juice, and that my friends was a hell of a trip! You get the whole process and you also start feeling it in a few minutes. Here is all of it ingested too. And you dont gotta grind it yourself with the teeth. I think I will go for the last one from now on Mjau! And enjoy the never~ending trip we call Life
I would avoid an MAOI unless you specifically want to do oral DMT. Otherwise, they are kind of nasty since they can make common food poisonous. (which you probably know.) I would just take more mushrooms if I wanted a longer, stronger trip. (But I'm a wimp with MAOI....I want to try aya but haven't because of that.....it'd be nice to have a longer experience than smoked DMT sometime.) Sometimes tea can cause stomach troubles: A friend and I made some tea with about 7gms or mushroom powder. We didn't strain it perfectly so there was some material in the cups, but a lot was in the pad still. We never finished the tea because it turned out to be very strong. (We thought we'd re-steep and have more cups, but one cup was enough, and we left about half in the pan.) Another friend took barely a couple sips and was tripping seriously. Anyway....to make a long story short, my friend threw up a bunch of times. At first she thought it was some wine she had earlier, but after a few times it was clear it was the mushrooms. She kept saying, "I'm okay though...it's really not that bad." The next day she said it was kind of fun because the throw up was soooo beautiful! I would think adding those natural MAOIs to the mix would only make it harder on the stomach, but I'm not sure.
Learned that trick in East Texas. Take your fresh mushrooms, and put them in a blender with orange or grape juice. The grape makes a disgusting purpleish-grey color.
god i hate east texas. except for the mushroom fields. some fucking awesome picking spots in the prime season.
