About to Lemon Tek for the 1st time!

The shrooms are soaking now. Been soaking for 20mins.
Excited!
I've had a good week at work. No plans for today and going cycling in the Lakes with my girlfriend tomorrow. I've done some good packing and now just need to make a playlist.
All points to a good trip, I think.
The lemon tek looks god awful! Not looking forward to downing that, but a moment of pain for hours of pleasure!

Haha, yeah. Just close your eyes and gulp it down fast. Sounds like you're lined up for a great time.

Thanks, Dude.
Horrible. Absolutely revolting. But aren't they always?
I haven't got a coffee grinder, so just had to mush them up with my fingers and scissors. Hard to gulp down. Blerh. I'll try not to think about it.
Anyway, here we goooooo....

Yea lemon tek is totally bogus. The increased effect (if any) is from grinding them down before ingestion, it has nothinig to do with the lemon juice. I can't believe people still believe this, it is a decent way of ingestion tho if you don't like the taste of shrooms.

Both times i did it, the trip hit me in 15 minutes. Ive made shakes with ground up mushrooms and they never hit that fast, always take atleast 30 minutes.
Both times i have done it, i have also had a much much shorter, more intense trip (2.5-4 hours, when normally its 4-7 hours for the same amount if eaten by itself).
Something makes me say you both are horribly wrong because it definitely worked for me. Not just once, Three times

well its NOT worked for me over 15 times. Not to doubt your experience or ne thing like that, but you gotta keep in mind every trip is different from the next and its a powerful mind altering substance where placebo could definitely be taking effect even for the most experienced person. Until someone does an actual scientific study showing that lemon juice in some way potentiates the psilocybin, or at least some actual evidence that it works, I'm gonna say bullshit. I'm 100% positive it did nothing for me and was the same if I just grinded them up or made a tea. Next time you try it just grind your shrooms up and put them in some other liquid, Im sure it'll be the same.

I've eaten mushrooms 60+ times in my life, I'd say about 40 of those using a grinder or scissors to chop them up as finely as possible and swallowed with orange juice. I tried lemon tek one time and was blown away; I was coming up hard in 15 minutes, tripping at 25-30, mind fucked by how hard I was tripping at 40 mins, and tripping absolute balls by an hour in (high level 4 trip off 2 grams). I also came down by 4 hours in, which never happens and I had eaten 2 grams of those same caps before with no where near the same effects. Lemon tek works.

Here is a copy of a post I made in another thread:
Quote:
Mushouse said: In my several experiences with the lemon method, fasting for 30+ hours, the experience was mind-blowing. I have no doubt that the lemon method works, but here's why I think, based on my understanding, you should never let the mixture sit for more that a few seconds:
Psilocybin is not, itself, what causes you to trip, but psilocybin degrades into psilocin, which causes the trip. Psilocybin is more stable, and has a longer shelf life than psilocin, and will stay viable in the mushroom flesh for extended periods; psilocin will not. The acid in the lemon juice starts degrading the psilocybin into psilocin before you even drink it, and psilocin is directly absorbed into your bloodstream. Soaking the shroom dust in lemon juice is kick-starting the process that your body would take longer to do.
Since psilocin is less stable, it will degrade into being useless if left in the acid for too long. You need to get the psilocin into your bloodstream as quickly as you can.
Leaving the lemon juice mixture to sit will only reduce it's potency.

My question is why did you do it the 15th(+) time if it didn't work the other 14(+)?

Because I tried slightly different methods just to make sure it didn't work. I mean if it did, holy shit that would have been great, but yeah I've tried many different lemon methods and nothing. Plus it's really not a bad way to ingest them I prefer it over just munchin em so it really wasn't a big deal haha

Im sorry man but you are in the minority here. Everyone i know who has tried lemon tek has had mind blowing results. And it has also worked for a large amount of people on this forum. Maybe the problem is YOU not the lemon tek. Maybe your body chemistry is so different that this method does nothing for you. Its just like how some people cant get effects from salvia
I have never tripped like i did the first time i lemon tekked. I ate only 1.75g in juice. In ten minutes i could already feel the body high coming on. In 15 i was seeing waves of distortion in everything. In 30 minutes i was full blown tripping. I walked outside to smoke a cigarette. When i came back inside i was seeing shitloads of people everywhere. It was like there was a fucking party going on. Everywhere i looked i could see hot ass chicks or weird looking guys. Ive never had visuals like that before. The visuals were so detailed. I could see every little blemish and crease in every persons face. Thats never happened before. I have never even had visuals on mushrooms that even remotely resembled people.

well, I had a good trip.
When I first started tripping (just less than a year ago), I didn't chop up the shrooms the first couple of times. Since then I have been chopping and mushing them up, but this time they were as mushed up as much as they have ever been.
For me, the early effects started to kick in quicker than usual (but possibly because the shrooms where chopped more than usual), the high was about the same (maybe a tough higher), and the length was about the same.
Nothing conclusive about lemon tek there then.
I'd lemon tek again, but only to a) investigate it further and b) it was one of the better ways (though still revolting) to consume the shrooms.

My girlfriend and I tried the lemon tek recentely, I will say it potentiated the mushrooms a bit but the stomach pains weren't worth it, I'd rather just eat more mushrooms.
