    I decided tonight that I would take 35 grams of wet P. Cubensis that I had homegrown. I popped the mushrooms off the cake and an hour or so later slapped them on a burger. I ate it and waited. Not much happened, and nothing really happened at all. I saw some haze in a friend's basement we were all hanging out in. Felt differant for a few hours and still am now. All physical though, and very weak. My mental state didn't budge much except for some strange through patterns. There was no high and there was definatly no trip.

    We sacrificed 2 fully colonized cakes so my friend could trip as well. We preformed extractions on them and he did end up tripping, visuals and all. The visuals didn't last more then an hour for him. I'm sure if he took those 35 grams, he would've made better use of them.

    I'm here asking why. Why didn't I even so much as get high from an eighth of mushrooms? I have never heard of a natural tolerance to psilocybin, although I'm sure it's possible. I have average tolerance to everything else I've tried. This was the first time I had even taken a tryptamine of any kind.

    I'm confused, upset, and lost.

    Are you on any kind of medication? I have a friend who takes some meds and shrooms don't affect him. He has to stop taking the meds for about 2 weeks in order to feel the effects. Also, what kind of extraction did you do on the cakes?

    a lot of things can fuck up your trip. one night i had taken a half-eighth and tripped hard, then the next day i took almost a quarter and didnt trip hardly at all. my friend ate an eighth and because i wasnt tripping he thought they were bad shrooms, and thought he wasnt going to trip, so he didnt. they were great mushrooms i just had a tolerance to them from eating them the night before.
    it couldve been becasue you made yourself think you werent gonna trip before they kicked in and that made you not or something happened when you were growing them. the first time you take them they are alot stonger too

    Dumbass tolerance builds quick with this shit if you trip the next day after tripping you'll get no where as far unless large quantities are layed on.

    o.p. that bights dude, what kind are ya growing? what sort of substrate?

    Stop fucking with PF cakes they're extremely small time and are more suited to a science fair than a psyconauts closet.

    Yeah I was gonna case next time but I have yet to found out why I didn't trip. It makes me sad. They're Psilocybe Cubensis B+ grown on Brown Rice Flour.

    It's possible that your water was too hot. Heat destroys psilocybin. When making tea you have to make sure it's not hot enough to degrade the active components.

    Water that is confterable enough to stick your hand in for a long time is perfect for shroom tea, Just let it sit for 30mins or so.

    I was the one that ate the mushrooms, we extracted HIS dose and HE tripped. I assume the fact that many of them may not have been chewed much, if it all didn't really affect it.

    how blue were they? Buleing means the active chemsicals are damaged a little meaning weaker shrooms. You also might be a hard head, take more and see what that does.

    I think Psilocybin oxidizes into Psilocin when they blue. There wasn't enough bruising to cause any decrease, let alone not tripping at all.

    So I guess I'm just naturally tolerant? That is SO lame. Unbelievably lame. Even taking an MAOI beforehand would probably change the characteristics of the trip.

    Psilocybin is more stable than Psilocin, it doesn't turn any color, psilocin degrades and turns blue when exposed to oxygen. liberty caps dont dont turn blue because they dont contain any psilocin, but they can still fuck you up.

    pscilocybin turns into psilocin when it's eatten and makes you trip...or is it the other way around, i can't remeber.

    Psilocybin is converted to Psilocin before it reaches your brain. And Psilocin is the more stable one.

    I need an answer. I refuse to believe it's just that way. I have average tolerance to everything else I've ever tried. I never had tryptamines before that night though.
