 Shrooms and Vitamin C

I read on the faqs and forums here that taking Vitamin C slows down your trip. I've used shrooms and Vitamin C in conjunction many times and personally Vitamin C only makes me trip harder. I use Vitamin C to get a trip going again after it is starting to fade. What is everyone else's experience with this?

Everyone else's experience is placebo, apparently.

Vitamin C and Shrooms or Acid does not I repeat DOES NOT intensify the trip! It is just an old wives tale.

It does for me!, whether a placebo or not, it makes me trip harder. By now its just sortof become a ritual though bringing a pocketfull of chewable orange pills. 
--------------------
Go through the orange yesterday
I watched intently for a while to both sides, infront of me and behind me.
I was impressed to learn there was another way to look... UP!
More impressive still was the fact that there were beautiful stars in this direction
Most amazing fact of all was the prospect of another direction when I was done with up. DOWN! Which, based on the feel through my toes would be a fine sandy beach!

Yeah, I hear the same over here, so many people have said taking vitamin C, intensifies mushrooms, LSD, MDMA etc. Personally I think it belongs in the smoking banana skin pile. However I have heard the vitamin c boosts your fertility so it cant be that bad.....

That's just a rumor that was started by the government to make you take your vitamin C.

All I know is what I experienced:
I tripped 2 times from the same batch of mush from a friend
the first time I crushed them up in a bowl with a mortar/pestle and mixed them in a glass of OJ and downed the whole 1/8th in like 30 seconds. I tripped my fuckin nuts off
the second time I ate an 1/8s mixed into 2 chocolates I made myself and came up real fast but didnt trip as hard for some reason.
Maybe its just a placebo effect, but I have only tried OJ and shrooms one time and that time was fucking awesome.... so of course wether it works or not , im going to do it again.

Take it easy, and if you can take it easy , take it twice.

> "the second time ... didnt trip as hard for some reason"
Did you trip relatively soon after the first trip? If so, that explains the loss of intensity. There are no conclusive studies to show that asorbic acid will increase a psychedelic experience. I've seen people recommend that you take Vitamin C to help kill a trip 
I've tried trips with a C vitamin and without, Oj or no Oj - it just depends on how many shrooms you eat; if you have eaten recently (and how much); and your state of mind 
Yes, use the search - good god, this topic has had the shit posted out o' it.

Well you said that your ground up the shrooms and chug them real fast the first time and you tripped harder. I think you tripped harder because your body could absorbe the psilocybin faster because they were ground up in juice.

Got a question about a substance? Erowid might already have your answer! Have questions about the mushroom experience? The Tripper's FAQ may have your answer or someone else might have had your question before.

I think your right.
Im pretty sure I tripped harder the time I dosed with OJ because I was excited about tripping again, didnt eat anything that day and it just hit me so quick I wasnt ready for it and by the time I was realizing i was tripping the roof of my car had stars on it, so yeah

I ate an 1/8 and got a very strong three / low four.
There were times when I got lost in the roof of my car and faded into like a black vortex of red and green shapes that started taking on appearnces of seemingly aztec origin
hell yeah I just smoked a bowl and it just kicked in as I was typing this and im feeling so fucking good.
btw the first thing I turned on was sphongle (first high of the day always fucks up my hearing) and it sounds badass

Shroom juice is the only way to go. Some cranberry apple juice blended with shrooms for 2-5 minutes is a mighty drink.

Vitamin C has long been advised in bringing freaked out trippers down. I was always told that Vit C would ease you out of a bad LSD trip???
I never heard anyone advise that it intensifies trips??

vitamin c is essential to the bodies processes ... vitamin c is highly available in a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits. People are meant to eat foods with vitamin c throughout the day. Your body utilizes it fairly quickly so it isnt stored up. In my opinion most people are lacking the proper amount of vitamin c and other nutrients in their diet.
I think it makes a trip stronger. I bought some oarnges once that had a really high vitamin c content and I could feel the effects immediatly. I find really strong oarnges are better than coffee for waking me up in the morning.
There is research about vitamin c curing many diseases and viruses by boosting the bodies natural defenses. The idea is that people don't get enought vitamin c and thats why they even get sick. Honestly people don't eat fresh food enough.... everything is in a bag or a can. Nutrients are lost in every step of processing.
I find vitamin c mixed with water fixes a headache better than anything else.
I think it intensifies a trip by helping your body utilize and create chemicals. Enhances/supports the natural process.

Personally I think the whole thing about Vit C 'boosting' the immune system, helping the symptoms of the common cold, all of that is just crap.
It's placebo effect if you ask me - there is research but I don't buy it. The body just gets rid of Vit C too fast for large supplements to have any benefit.

The body doesnt get rid of it... it uses it.
If you take all vitamin c out of your diet you'll get sick. Thats why people who went on long ship voyages would take limes hence the term "limey" reffering to a sea going person. The simple comparisons in mortality rates on long sea voyages was enough to convince seasoned sailors to eat limes.

When i tripped, i had a big glass of OJ wit my mush sandwich, and it did not really intensify anything, just made my mouth taste good.
