how potent can tea be? Is it possible to put 8 grams in a cup of water?

I made tea this evening, and I was wondering, i have like, just under a cup of water, that I mixed my mushrooms with (hot, of course)
Theres 8 grams mixed in it, is this close to the saturation of psylocybin in water at all? Im doubting it. if so, how many grams would you be able to fit into one cup of water? Thanks

I don't know the saturation but using more water will help to ensure more absortion (to a point obviously) so if you care about making the most of your mushrooms you don't want to use too little water.

yeah, i figured so. I know the actual psylocybin amount is super little, so I think I should be fine.

Nothing personal, but that is a very retarded question. It can be as potent as you want it to be. You can boil an ounce of cubes in a liter of water for 2 hours (by that time most of the funky stuff will be in the water) and then strain out the bits with a collander. Afterwards you can further reduce the water by evaporating it through a slow boil until you have one cup left. Then you have one cup that's (nearly) as potent as an ounce of cubes.

^^^ dunno about water, but with ethanol, 1 mL = 1 gram of dry mushroom is easy to do.

I dumped an ounce of ground dried cubes into a liter of ethanol and let it sit for about 3-4 weeks, swirling regularly. Then I strained the mushroom bits through a lab filter and then slowly let the ethanol evaporate over a period of about 6 weeks until I had maybe 200ml left. Then, after almost 2 1/2 months of waiting, I made a stupid move and tipped the whole jar over and everything spilled out across my lab floor. Talk about the most time consuming and elaborate way of wasting an ounce of mushrooms.

You didn't lap it up with your tongue? I sure as hell would have. But I'm broke. 
Did you have carpet or a flat surface?

When i make tea the amount of shrooms by weight i use to make it is the same strength as if i ate them dry. I made an 8 gr tea once using 16 oz of water and boiled it down to about 8 oz and it was waaayyyy too strong. I could only lay on the couch with my eyes closed and wait it out. If you usually eat 8gr dry and are ok with that dose then do it...otherwise stick with your usual dosage to make your tea. Have fun.

Sure you can... Suggest splitting it into 2 doses
Have 12 gm sitting in a cup of honey... Blue honey

Flat and super clean surface. Mind you, that was my lab floor. I shrugged my shoulders, mopped it up with a rag, cleaned the floor again and called it a day. An ounce of cubes isn't that much of a loss, really. I was pissed about the 2 1/2 months, not the mushrooms.

Damn I would of let the ethanol evaporate then scraped the goodies right off the floor.

LOL. I ain't that desperate. The cookie box and the candy jar are full of goodies. No big loss.
