Can OJ really make this big of a diff?

ive tried lemon juice and mushrooms, but didnt soak them. simply chugged lemon juice (not really pleasent) between mouthfuls of mushrooms.

~2.5g of mushrooms put me in a horrifically bad trip (but probably stronger then otherwise would have been w/o lemon juice), and the trip lasted a good hour longer then my friend who drank none

 

I tried the lemon tek, but only had a lil less than an eighth (I know potency varies, but that is a low dose in my eye).
It's hard to say if it made it stronger. It did kick in faster, but I was overall disappointed in how weak, and short my trip was. The next day I smoked DMT and had my mind blown though, so it's all good .

 

i am definitely doing this next time

why would you not?

 

Hmmm... question: Does the lemon tek shorten the trip? I have seen multiple answers to this.

 

Active ingredients of mushrooms are dispersed throughout mushroom. Active ingredients in mushroom must reach your brain for trip to work. Mushrooms are tough material for your stomach to digest and send active ingredients to brain. Predigesting mushrooms with lemon juice helps this, sending active ingredients to your brain much quicker, and more "all at once", rather than a slow trickle of psilocin entering your bloodstream as you digest the fungal matter.

 

there's no studies or data to confirm that vitamin c potentiates psilocybin. MAOi's on the other hand, they have been confirmed to do this.

 

Lol lemon tek does work, but it's cause of acidity. Simple as that. Fuck data and studies. Government data on weed leads back to the "Reefer Madness". And why would their be official data on Vitamin C or lemon teking shrooms?

If you research the digestive system, and how it digests, in under a minute you'll understand why the lemon tek works.

@atomheart- It does shorten the trip, but on shrooms times slow anyways, so it's worth it for a more intense visual trip. The shrooms are digested faster so the chemicals will be dealt with by our bodies faster.
Like smoking .5 in 3 minutes will get you higher for a shorter amount of time, then .5 in 10 minutes.

 

No. Potentiators are generally BS. Wanna get higher? Take more drugs.

 

i'm talking about hard scientific data and not government statistics or whatever. even erowid has said there's no factual basis to vitamin c increasing psilocybin's effects. but i could certainly see the acidity of the lemon juice or oj extracting alkaloids out of the material. then again when you consume them, you only absorb some of the active alkaloids anyways. because much of them are destroyed by the acids in your stomach

 

did oyu consider it a bad trip? ive had those same experiences and sometimes fear those situations but end up enjoying it in the end

 

Good point man, and on the acid matter here's the process of how the acidity potentiates the trip.

Acid-catalyzed dephosphorylation is the sciencey name for it lol, too fried to sound smart. The stomach enzymes and acid usually convert psilocibin to psilocin in this process. When this is already achieved in the lemon juice, stomach has no need to for dephosphorylation and the psilocin is ready to be absorbed and sent through the bloodstream.

I've had that before and stayed under a blanket for hours, but screaming during that whole time man wtf lol
