Mushie pills

So I recently bough empty capsules and loader machine and made a bunch of shroom capsules. Maybe it's just me but the effects don't seem as strong as just eating them straight up. Anyone else tried this and how do you rate the pills vs eating straight up

Used 00 pills and it took four capsules to make a gram...make sure you way your powder first before you fill them not After I changed to soaking them in every clear straining them and then just drinking Everclear no body load and comes on in like five minutes without all the mushy crap

I just read a few things about encapsulation today and am intersted in this question, as well. I wouldn't think it would have any negative effects as far as absorption goes, but I really have no idea. This is probably a silly question, but did you eat/drink anything immediately prior to dosing, PinPornProducer?

Thats how I almost always do it these days. I have OCD about this stuff, so I have a milligram scale, and I use the pill fill machine, press, fill, press, fill, then when they are completely filled (I do use 00), I weigh them and manually add or subtract to bring the total weight to between .613g-.620g (the caupsul empty weighs 113-120 miligrams).
That way I have exactly 1/2 gram pills.
They work just as well as any other method. Eat on an empty stomach and drink orange juice after.

No, if I know I'm gonna trip I fast all day, I did drink some dew with the pills. I just wonder if they just all don't open up or dissolve at the same time or something. Because when I just eat em the effects are almost twice as strong

Probably because by the time all capsules have dissolved and released the mushrooms, the tolerance kicks in. Also, shrooms require stomach acids to convert psilocybin into psilocin. If you drop capsules, they use up some of the stomach acids and there are not enough of them to convert shroomocibin properly, I guess

The capsules suck. I've made them a few times and end up chucking them up once they start to dissolve. I just straight up eat or lemon tek em.

Yeah the one time I used capsules for a group, no one got high. Most of us experience a bit of nausea from eating and lemon tek'ing, so we thought we'd try the capsule method. We were all really disappointed and resolved to never do it that way again...we'd rather just deal with the sickness. Maybe a lot of the active compounds are absorbed on the way down when there's no barrier between the shrooms and yer insides.

ive seen the same thing OP, the effects are drastically diminished and imo it's because when you grind them up you're exposing them literally every single possible millimeter of it oxygen
then you press it into the capsule itself and seal it, which has oxygen in it as well
some of the strongest shrooms i ever had was a guy that did this method, but every time i've done it its just completely sucked

I used to know some folks who would extract psilocin/psilocybin from stropharia cubensis, the tryptamine compounds were then mixed with binders and fillers and pressed into "psilly-pills", each pill had around 25mg psilocin/psilocybin present....
They were amazing.....
I have not seen psilly-pills for a good while, I miss them, I love psilocin, but hate that feeling like I'm a frog with a stomach full of swamp water that comes with eating the fungus itself.....

I think the capsule itself has something to do with it... Gotta do it with a pollen press (kief coin press) then its 100% mushrooms and it starts expanding back out in your stomach immediately. The increased surface area for breakdown/absorption def helps. I've been rocked sooooooo hard from them
-------------------- The mushroom speaks: '"I am old, older than thought in your species, which is itself fifty times older than your history. Though I have been on earth for ages I am from the stars. My home is no one planet, for many worlds scattered through the shining disc of the galaxy have conditions which allow my spores an opportunity for life... How the hypercommunication mode operates is a secret which will not be lightly given to man. But the means should be obvious: it is the occurrence of psilocybin and psilocin in the biosynthetic pathways of my living body that opens for me and my symbiots the vision screens to many worlds"

I suggest slicing the pills with a razor blade before ingesting them, as the gel capsules take atleast 20-30 minutes to dissolve in the stomach. The cuts will help release the shrooms within the capsule a lot quicker..

I personally love using capsules. They are easy to dose, transport, and conceal. The doses are fairly homogeneous in potency. Tightly packed and properly stored they have a very impressive shelf-life. AND they bypass having to taste the mushrooms.
But I realize they do have some drawbacks. It can take some serious time for the gelatin in the capsules to dissolve. My special lady friend has a slower metabolism than I do, so when we dose capsules together I am sometimes peaking a full hour before she is barely beginning to feel the effects. Also, if I have too much food in my belly it can take up to an hour and a half before they start to kick in.
I haven't had much of an issue with not tripping hard enough, except for the couple of times that I didn't take the entire dose within a reasonably short window of time, and instead spread the dose out over 45 minutes or so.

^This works. When I am worried about having to wait around too long for them to kick in I'll slice the ends of the capsules with my pocket knife before I eat them. When I do that I usually start to feel the effects in around 20 minutes.

For whatever reason I prefer the "stropharia" nomenclature over "psilocybe", I'm sure Terry did have some influence on this (when I was a youth I obtained the ON Oeric + OT Oss grow guide (which were the mckennas psuedonyms) I learned to grow from the book, and I guess the nomenclature stuck with me....)
