The point of lemon tek?
    #14222037 - 04/01/11 04:41 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Is it to come up quicker?
Is it to shorten duration and intensify buzz?

Any pros/cons.I searched but did not find answers exactly.
Friend drunk pure lemon juice after eating shrooms last weekend
and felt something happen quicker than usual. But as I gather you are supposed to mix and wait 20mins.

thx

The point is to convert the psilocybin into psilocin (the actual active tryptamine).  Otherwise what happens is the psilocybin gets digested, moves through the circulatory system, enters the liver where it's converted into psilocin.  Lemontek shortens the process by some 30 minutes or so.

A side effect is that the come up is much more intense, and some people feel the trip is shorter.  I personally feel the trip is the same amount to time, but to each his own.

It will have shorter duration and it doesnt convert it into psilocin. Youre liver still does that. The high acidity allowed the mushroom matter to digest must faster.

I think you need to read more about what the acidity in the lemon juice is doing.  And the many times I've done it, the trips have been just as long as an expected "regular trip" would be.  I've had some 5 and 6 hour trips on lemontek, and the come up was bullet fast.  15 minutes or less from the time the mushrooms or tea (done both ways) hit my lips.  There's no way the body could digest and convert psilocybin on 15 minutes.

I think you need to realize that acid isnt the same as the enzymes in our liver.

The first time I did the lemon tek I didn't really expect it to make much more of a difference. Back in those days I always thought that shrooms were not very visual/intense compared to acid (because I had never really done much). So I decided to save on 4 grams and lemon tek it (yes lemon tek'd the whole 4 grams).

I put the ground shrooms in a cup of lemon juice and stirred it idly while watching some cartoons. After about 35 minutes the lemon juice had turned into a dark blue pondscum looking color. I proceeded to down the pondscum and and floating fruit bodies as quickly as possible. Even though I like the taste of shrooms dry, this shit was horrid :P

I followed my whole glass of magic with a cup of OJ to take away the taste.

Then I waited....

15 minutes later (YES ONLY 15 MINUTES) my walls were crawling with yellow DMT like visuals. I remember thinking "holly fucking shit, this isn't like shrooms at all!". I then proceeded to have a super intense fucking trip that blew every other psychedelic experience I'd had before that out of the water.

A lot of people say that their lemon tek experiences are shorter than regular shroom trips. Mine on the other hand lasted approximately the same amount of time. I'm assuming it was because I consumed the plant matter floating in the solution as well.

Anyway, my conclusion was that lemon tek'd shrooms are like a totally different drug to normal shrooms with a very short comeup. Definitely worth doing.

Doesn't need to be the same as the enzyme as what is in the liver, merely needs to begin the dephosphorilation of psilocybin.  This can be done with either a highly acidic or highly base solution, lemon juice has the acidic content to begin the process.

Think what they said... Tend to think it's more ritual than science

Some folks swear by it... Others not... I am on the Not side but if it works for others, more power to them!!!!

when i've tried, i too had the same duration as regular trip.
however, one came on in 30 minutes, and the other took almost an hour and a half
just try it and see how you likey

Wikipedia - Psilocin (What our body turns the Psilocybin into)  is obtained by dephosphorylation of psilocybin under strongly acidic or alkaline conditions. Psilocin is relatively unstable due to its phenolic OH group. Under alkaline conditions in the presence of oxygen it immediately forms bluish and dark black degradation products. Similar products are also formed under acidic conditions in the presence of oxygen and Fe3+ ions (Keller's reagent, FeCl3 / MeOH / HCl). Psilocin is a basic amine and forms salts with acids that are usually more stable upon storage.

The more acidity  the quicker the Psilocybin is broken down to Psilocin.

Must experiment with this!

I said it speeds up digestion. You said it turns it into psilocyn.

There ya go.

Big dinner means he's got to wait on the food before it. He feels sleepy, but if he ate enough they'll wake his ass back up once they kick in.

Very odd, nothing at all.:confused:

EDIT: He took a few more and feels a little something, he wondered if using them 7 days ago has built resistance. Bummer.

EDIT: He does feel something now, he hopes it isnt going to creep up over another 2 hours he will be off of his nut.

EDIT :He thinks he is just getting used to this state.

he now realizes he does not know what is going on so he must be buzzing.

Yep he's defo back in wavy land, rather later than anticipated, better late than never. PS he tends to this on his own, he just kind of likes that.

bumping this thread as no one cleverly answered the op, lots of discusion as to how but none as to why???

if the whole point is to shorten the come-up then it's pretty pointless since you'll wait 20 min ANYWAY for the lemmon to produce it's shit.

Well, what happens is the acids in the lemon juice breaks psilocybin into psilocin, before it is ingested.  If shrooms are ingested, the stomach has to break down psilocybin into psilocin, before you begin tripping.

So, if you are decently experienced w/ shrooms, you understand that wierd feeling before the come up, where everything is just a little strange.  Well, this is psilocin that the mushroom already contained.  When you begin coming up on mushrooms, that is the psilocin that took a while to develop in your tummy, and is now being pumped into the bloodstream.

So, since the lemon juice already breaks it down into psilocin, you will trip faster, be hit harder and trip harder, and the trip will not last as long.

Hope that sums it up for ya  :awepuss:

In my opinion....The answer is that it does not do anything. Making tea or maybe even hydrating mushrooms can make the absorption faster by just having the drugs more available (stomach does not have to extract them)  but stomach acid is so much more acidic than lemon juice that thinking lemon  does something the stomach doesnt really makes no sense to me.

Is an urban legend kept going by people who confuse tea with lemon?  Is this just a ritual? Can't tell you. But some people swear by it... Some people will tell you is makes trips harder...  I am not here to say they are wrong but... As the OP asked.. Tell me why lemon juice does something?

But Bringing back a 4 month old thread... Priceless... Or not

omg.

you take shrooms and crush em up, and you boil water.

you take some lemon slices and you SQUEEZE said lemon into a cup with your shrooms, add enough juice to at least cover the shrooms. NOT SUBMERGE, just to coat... and then you let sit for 10-15 minutes, and then add par-boiled or pre-boiled water.

cover with lid to prevent from cooling too fast, and let sit for another 10 to 15 minutes approximately, then drink.

eaten just recently... then WTF is anyone doin shrooms for anyway? wait for a couple hours at least, after eating.
