Increase in powdered mushroom potency?
    #6332049 - 12/04/06 03:04 AM (17 years, 3 months ago)

Lets say I was to have a fairly big jar of powdered mush..

Would anyone suggest anything to make them more potent? By this I mean a substance that would make the body absorb the chemicals in the shrooms better. Ive been searching around - a MAOI?

My plan is to obtain said substance and sprinkle it in with my mush powder; making my trip all the better.

What do you think?

I've heard orange juice helps you absorb it better. If nothing else it will definitely cover up the taste.

MAOI's certainly can potentiate and lengthen the effects of psilo* alkaloids, however you generally want to take them in advance of ingesting your mushroom material.  The idea is to have them already "active" in your system prior to dosing.  Taking them at the same time doesn't necessarily help a whole lot.

You might try to add ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to the mix, there's some theories that both the acidity and antioxidant properties may help.  I've never gotten stellar results from the "lemon juice" tek myself, I'm a bit skeptical and think it might be placebo, but hey, you can give it a shot... worse thing that happens is you get some extra vitamin C in you. :wink:  NOW Foods sells bulk vitamins, ascorbic acid included, you can probably find it at a health food store or a google search.

and by the way, this probably isn't an appropriate forum for this disccusion.

Be careful with MAOIs, especially if you're thinking of turning this idea into some sort of entrepreneurial venture. If you were to add an maoi, it could cause extremely dangerous interactions if somebody were to take it in combination with another drug, for instance a phenethylamine, amphetamine, MDMA, etc.

You'd be better off investing in improving the cultivation strategy rather than messing with brain chemistry to get better potency.

Ascorbic acid might also help in preserving them. It should help keep the Actives form oxidizeingif i remember correctly. Thats the reason you add lemon to tea as i understand.

I read that powdering mushrooms actually degrades the potency of shrooms. Ott said it.

I would argue that statement to the death - IME, if the material is dried completely and stored properly, there is little to no potency loss..
