Improving the Lemon tek?
    #16851769 - 09/15/12 01:57 PM (11 years, 5 months ago)

So everybody by now knows that putting mushrooms in an acidic enviroment facilitates the conversion of psilocybin into the chemical that makes us trip, psilocin. This is a well published Tek.

However, my basic chemistry knowledge tells me that chemical reactions usually happen more readily with increased temperature. So wouldn't heating the lemon juice/mushroom mixture greatly increase the effectiveness of this technique???

It would increase the reaction rate, but not neccesarily increase the effeciency.

The definition for efficient is "Achieving maximum productivity". So to increase the reaction rate would be more efficient. It wouldn't effect potency though.

I know full well about making tea, but what the fuck is adding a teaspoon of lemon juice to a cup of water going to do? nothing!

I'm talking about heating the pure mushroom/lemon juice mixture.

You think I'm full of shit and you cite a technique that advises adding chewable vitamin c gummies to the tea because everybody knows it's the vitamin C in orange juice that makes you trip harder, right? lol

LOL no because vitamin C is acidic.




So is citric acid, so why dilute it with more water? My point is that no current lemon teks recommend heating it up to save time and make it more potent.

:jimmies:  ... chill out Mr. Scientist.

Your original post sounded like you were ignorant to making the tea, so I provided you with some info... Your "improved tek" wont be "improved" unless you "improve" the amount of mushrooms or "improve" their potency.

I agree. That said, to answer the OP's question, mixing the powder and lemon mixture overtop of a low-heat flame should in theory increase the speed in which the psilocybin is broken into psilocin. However, there's no way to really make them more potent.

I was accused of accusing him of "being full of shit" when I did no such thing, so I responded explaining myself and providing information to what I thought he was inquiring about :shrug:

Making the tea with the teks provided on this site, extracts damn near all of the actives one is seeking, I dont see what else can be done to "imporve" the teks. I asked the question "what more can you do?" and the response was a bunch of curse words and arm flailing.

Is he trying to improve the potency? the extraction? what is the goal? It's not clear... and by not being clear on his intentions with the teks, one can not provide direct or useful information to help him achieve his goal.

Yes I agree there isn't much to improve a lemon tek.  I'm just tipping at this site lately.  It's like "who can talk the most shit" wins a button or something.  Oh forget it.
