Hello everyone, I have been curious to try out the Lemon Tek on several occasions and always just end up munching my shrooms down. But tonight I have the house to my self, and I have been looking forward to, and planning for my next trip. Right now I'm undecided on how much I want to dose, because supposedly it comes on a lot faster this way, but typically has a slightly lowered duration of a trip. I have four fresh lemons that I will be using (however many of the four it takes because they are smaller sized lemons. I also have around 10 grams of dried mushrooms overall, I usually eat between 1-2 grams for a moderate experience, I tend to be sensitive to shrooms. It's not a bad thing, but anywhere over 2.5 grams can send me to the Cosmos. If I want a hard trip or "High level trip" I eat anywhere from 3.5-6 grams,but I haven't had a wish or craving to endure in such a journey of that "caliber" Seriously I'm far from new to high doses, I have eaten insane amounts of fresh, and dried psilocybes before, and I have utmost respect for what the mushroom can show you and just where they can put your mind.
Back on topic though, I have a good idea of how to go about this, and I've done a lot of research about lemon leking before, but I can't be so sure until I do it my self. I am contemplating using around 2 grams of grinded up Cubensis. Any suggestions or opinions, or experiences with lemon tek would be greatly appreciated

I concur with Feel above. The last time I LKed it was with 2 grams and it honestly blew most of my 3.5g trips out of the water. That being said, 2g is the amount that I would do again.
I powdered the mushrooms in a coffee grinder and put the powder into a small glass with 1 lemon fully squeezed and about 1/3 cup freshly boiled water. After it stood for ~5-7minutes, I topped the glass off with grapefruit juice. Waited 30mins, stirred several times.
On an empty stomach, I slammed the whole glass. Didn't taste bad, although the texture was a bit sludgy. Placebo/first effects within 10 minutes, with a steep "effect curve" growing. In 25 minutes I was non-verbal and in CEV hyperspace cemented to the floor of my bedroom. A great lesson in learning to "let go" when it hits you that hard/fast. Lasted for about 2.5-3 hours, and the comedown was surprisingly sharp. One moment my language centers were overwhelmed and I couldn't communicate, and the next I felt capable to drive or operate machinery (not recommended). I actually met my now girlfriend almost directly after coming down from this trip.
Despite the intensity, there was a great afterglow which made consuming cannabis/processing the trip/hanging with my buds afterwards very enjoyable.
Due to the steep effect curve, my guess would be that if you were to start with 2g, and be prepared to redose 1-3 grams when you start peaking, you could find the desired intensity relatively easy.

If you've got some time read my trip report. I did 18 grams fresh lemon tek. So equivalent to about 2 grams dry lemon tek. I posted this on Reddit a few weeks ago.
TRIP REPORT (Title: MUSHROOMS, THIRSTY WATER BOTTLE, AND BOILING PEANUTBUTTER )
I'd tried a couple small doses to work my way into it but this weekend I tried about 2 grams Lemon Tek'ed (dry equivalent, I ate fresh). After sleeping in I woke up about 7 am ( start work at 5:30 most weekdays so sleeping in is 7 am for me lol ) and proceeded to pick the best grown shrooms fresh of my cake's. I ate a small one and have no idea why people complain about the taste all the time. I haven't eaten any dry yet but fresh they taste like eating moist undercooked noodles. Not much flavor, but certainly not unpleasant. I took and weighed out 18 grams, threw them in the blender with about a shot full of lemon juice. Waited 30 min and drank it up with a chaser of orange juice. During the come up I had some shroom growing chores to do like wash some more perlite, improve my SAB, and build filtered lids. The come up was about 35-45 min but it kicked in hard. My last "trips" were all around 8-10 grams fresh and had no visuals. This was definitely a trip, lol. I closed my eyes and enjoyed visuals, they came in waves about 5 seconds on 5 seconds off. At this time I was also getting some music on. I listened to a mix-match of Pink Floyd, The Doors, and early Fleetwood Mac. Every song sounded like a brand new song I had never heard before. The experience was extremely euphoric. My feelings followed the mood of the song but were amplified a thousand fold. For example much of Pink Floyd songs varied from happy energy to dark "war like" sounds. My mind was doing a complete backflip from so much feeling. But none of it was un-pleasant by any means. After a while I was laying on my couch under a blanket hugging myself very intensely and laughing, smiling away, listening to the music. I'm sure I looked like a complete fucking idiot, but I was definitely having a great time! While listening to the music I was constantly thinking of all the happy people and friends i know in my life, and how being around them is so enjoyable because they sort of give of this positive glow which makes any situation fun and happy. Eventually I built up alot of energy and wanted to go do something. However, I couldn't focus on any one thing for more than a few seconds . I tried to get up of the couch a few times to go do something but then would just put my headphone back on, lay down and trip. The closed eye visuals were full time now. No longer pulsing in and out in waves. Being that I am new to the area where I live and decided I should just hop on my bike and ride around the bike trails or up towards the hills where you can get a nice scenic view. I should mention I did not feel drunk, or disoriented, or have any problems with Co-ordination. I would never drive in such a state regardless of how i feel, but on my bike I feel like I'm only a risk to myself and not others so it was safe enough to do so while tripping. Before I left my house I wasn't sure how long I would be gone so I figured I should bring a backpack with the essentials. I packed two bottles of water, some warmer clothes ( hat, mittens), a towel, and wanted a sandwich in case I got hungry. Here is where it gets interesting. At this point I was probably at the Peak of the trip ( 1 1/2 hours in) and my thoughts were absolutely everywhere. I'll guide you though my thought process for packing my backpack..
"what do I need to bring on an adventure?"
"I need a water bottle in case I get thirsty "
I took a water bottle out of the fridge and looked at...
" Well what if this water bottle gets thirsty?"
I proceeded to pack a second water bottle to quench the thirst of water bottle 'a' incase it was thirsty.
" What if I get cold?"
This was an easy one, I just needed more clothes, However I made a note to myself in my little trip journal which read " DONT BRING PANTS! bring pants"
I am still unsure what I meant by this?
"What if i'm gone for a long time and get hungry?" I remembered that peanut butter jelly sandwich was an excellent hiking/adventure food so I set out to make one. The problem was I was utterly perplexed by how to make a peanut butter jelly sandwich? It's hard to explain. I certainly knew how to make it, but I was hesitant because there were so many options or ideas on how to make the sandwich! Every step of the way I would grab the ingredients and stare at them for a while thinking of all the ways in which they could be assembled into a million beautiful unique sandwiches. In particular I remember opening the peanut butter and wondering why no-one makes food where you boil peanutbutter? You know like a soup but with peanutbuter? I stood there and and looked at the jar and explored this thought for what felt like hours. Time Dilation was real. I looked at the time and It had only been 12 minutes. Now that I think about it, that is still a long ass time to stand and just stare at a jar of penutbutter. Whatever. After I had put together my "Adventure Pack" I felt this very deep connection with the backpack. I'd had this backpack for a couple of years now and its been though alot with me. I felt towards it exactly as I would feel towards a trusted, loyal friend. I thought about how devastated I would be if I lost this backpack. Even now after the trip this feeling lingers, although the devastation feeling does not. If I lost it, I'd just buy another fucking backpack. I had also packed a rather large beach towel because I had just finished reading "Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy" the other week and if you read the book you might remember the significance of bringing a towel. Anyway, I set out . I rode over to the playground which I had to avoid on my first trip because there were kids there and I thought it would be to overt for a 20 year old to be swinging on the swing along with a bunch of 6 year olds. This time it was un-occupied. SCORE!
I hit that swing set for hours! (probably only 10 minutes) Swinging was everything, when I swung up I could see over the tops of trees and It felt amazing to be able to see so far. I brought my music but wasn't listeng to it yet because everything else was way to stimulating to introduce music. I felt like I had been plunged back into the body of a kid, everything had a gleam to it, everything was fun and interesting. I had a massive, and i mean MASSIVE, grin on my face laughing or giggling occasionally just because of how happy life is. What absolutely made the trip for me was, as I was riding my bike down some roads cars kept passing me, going around me, etc. Well I would see the people in the cars and kept thinking about how these people are driving to work, the store, the bank, and they didn't have any positive energy. They had surrounded themselves by these metal boxes, living a life they don't enjoy, the cars seemed so unhappy. I remembered a quote from somewhere, ( a move or a book? perhaps?) it went something like this, " We work a job we don't like to buy stuff we don't need, to impress people we hate". This idea carried alot of significance, and even though it seems negative I was thinking about this but my mood was still up in the sky my smiling grin was not depleted. Well I came up to a stop sign and stopped to let a car go by. The car drove up and stopped also. At this time I was thinking the above thoughts and wished that I could channel some of my upbeat happiness into everyone in the universe. I wanted everyone to be cheerful. At this exact moment the girl in the black SUV which had stopped looked at me an also smiled! All of a sudden I felt this burst of energy, positive energy, connect us! Now that I think about it she probably smiled because she saw a guy wearing a tie die shirt on a bicycle with a overstuffed backpack with a massive grin on his face who looked high as fuck, but whatever. I rode away, and she drove away, both on our separate paths of happiness... Then end.
