It's not going to hinder the experience, but
I guess i just have to ask WHY? I am all for personal responsibility and a diverse array of life experiences. Why are you looking to potentiate something that A. not many really enjoy B. is essentially a delirium anyway C. can have serious side effects physically?
Not saying you will die or even get sick, I just really don't think it's going to go the way you want it to.

Sure son. Anything for a fan.

Some people have really profound and enjoyable experiences on amanitas 
I highly doubt lemon tek will work on amanitas though.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think lemon tek works by breaking down psilocybin into psilocin, bypassing your bodies metabolic process and making the mushrooms hit stronger and faster.

Not saying you will die or even get sick, I just really don't think it's going to go the way you want it to.
I also have to ask why but for completely different reasons. I personally just don't see a point to lemon tekking aminitas, they aren't the sort of drug where it matters a lot to have it hit you all at once. I guess maybe if you want a shorter more intense experience but I have no idea whether it would work or not. I guess grinding them up couldnt hurt.
But I must say, aminitas are incredible mushrooms. They are much more valuable than psilocybin mushrooms in a spiritual sense.

If you want them to hit you faster and stronger, take a couple hits of Marijuana. Although I would not reccomend it. But I would garuntee that it will make it kick in faster and stronger, equivelent to what lemon tek does for psilocybin

Deviate, I am glad you posted that. "They are much more valuable than psilocybin mushrooms in a spiritual sense. "
Can I ask why you feel that way? I am not trying to be confrontational. I, like many others had difficult physical symptoms on Ibogenic acid/muscimol. I also got very very little psychological profoundness after multiple attempts. I too felt that it was not given it's fair shake and had a very intriguing place in human history.
In what ways did the positive effects of Amanitas outweigh the positives of Cubensis varieties? In your experience.

I also have never had a great experience with amanitas. But some of my close friends and family swear by them. My sister has extensive experience with psilocybes and amanitas and she finds the amanita a much more profound and spiritual experience.
Just because I never got there with amanitas doesn't mean some people cant.

Well, first of all I want to say one of the reasons I consider them more valuable than psilocybin is because there are other drugs which I feel can give you most of the same lessons you might learn from psilocybin, like DMT, to a lessor extent mescaline and pretty much all other psychedelics.
Aminitas on the other hand are completely unique as a teacher. I have not come across anything else even remotely like them.
Now in terms of describing what you can learn from aminitas, I actually find that difficult to do without using obscure spiritual terminology.
I don't know if this will make sense to you or not but this is my attempt:
First to quote another shroomery member "psilos represent the beginning of the spiritual path, aminitas the end. They are Alpha and Omega."
In my own words I would say psilos take you out into the void, Aminitas bring the void into you. Psilos allow you to look outward at all that is manifest, aminitas allow you to look inward toward that which is unmanifest.
Aminitas vibrate at the highest frequency of all entheogens. What you gain from psilocybin is mostly sacred knowledge and soul healing. Aminitas allow you to work at the level of spirit.
Once mastered, aminitas are a greater force. In my experience, they contain the sacred fire of God which dissolves all that separates one from the divine. They have given me incredible abilities, like being able to see into the future and communicate with the spirit world. You can communicate with the spirit world on psilos too but they are harder to control.
Psilos are much more showy and in your face. Aminitas take time to get to know and you must be willing. Aminitas also open your chakras and dont stress the nervous system as much as psilos.

I appreciate that perspective Deviate. As I said the numerous experiences I had were very difficult physically with very little psychological reward. Maybe I was not preparing them properly.
If I may ask you one more question because your response was articulate and I think you understand what I'm getting at.
How did strong doses of mescaline compare to Amanita experiences to you? I am already hijacking this guys thread with these queries, but starting a whole new one is a waste.

Where did you get your Aminitas from? I have read that you must pick them in the wild for the best experience and the vendor ones suck. I have only had vendor ones so far, though I hope to find some this fall. But I can say that even from the vendor ones, I have noticed tremendous variability based on the source. Some of them just cause unpleasant side effects with very few positive effects at all.
As for comparing Aminitas to mescaline, they are completely different experiences and then of course my experiences with mescaline don't necessarily reflect other peoples experiences with mescaline, etc.
But to begin I would first like to say another benefit of Aminita I neglected to mention in my last post was that I think it really helped me balance, understand and integrate my other psychedelic experiences. I had had a lot of experiences with classical psychedelics before ever using aminitas and I feel like I came to associate the classical psychedelic experience with spirituality, so in my spiritual practice even outside of psychedelics, I tended to over value the aspects of my practice which lead to states that felt similar to what I experienced on psychedelics. I felt like as a result my energy and my sensory experience became very extended, very expansive, and very "geometric" for lack of a better term.
Aminitas helped me to see there was a whole other way to be spiritual. They represent the contracting force, whereas classical psychedelics represent the expanding force. Classical psychedelics expand your sense of time, aminitas compress it. Doing too many classical psychedelics and using them as my model for spirituality caused a great imbalance between these forces in my being and aminitas helped to correct that.
Now as far as mescaline, I find mescaline very interesting because unlike tryptamines (which I believe operate at the level of the soul), I believe that mescaline operates at the level of the mind and the heart because of this, it can share some of the heart opening effects of the aminita.
I would say mescaline is music, aminitas are silence. Mescaline shows you the eternal dance, aminitas show you eternal rest. Both aminitas and mescaline are unique in that they connect you with Christ/God the father, whereas most other entheogens connect you more with the divine mother. Both are at the top of my list of entheogens and I would find it very difficult to choose between them.

Deviate, Thank you for sharing that. I (we) appreciate the insight. At some point I would like to experience the amanita. But, somehow, in my head I think that I'm not supposed to until I personally find it in the wild. Like it will call to me when I'm ready. I am fearful because of the stories I have heard but I think that it may just be that those users were just expecting a "good time" trip like lsd or shrooms. I'm assuming that fly agaric is far more personal.

No need to fear, the great thing about Aminita is that it does not stress the nervous system and cause rapid tolerance/loss of magic like the classical psychedelics. So redosing aminita (or just taking more the next day) are both perfectly viable means of experimentation. Therefore you can start with as a low of a dose as you feel inclined to and simply eat more little by little after that until you get where you want to go. Thats not to say it cant be scary/have a bad trip but in general you will have more control over the speed at which you get know the aminita because you dont have to worry about waiting weeks in between trips or trying to guess the dosage.
I actually find aminita pretty recreational in lower doses, but not like shrooms or lsd which are pure sensory wonderland. I think the effects of aminita are just a little too strange for most people to appreciate.

Deviate, I'd like to ask you what do you know about SOMA which (in some sources) contains fly agaric. How to prepare it etc.? ~following question: how do you take amanitas yourself, the best way in your opinion?
~following question number two: any preparation before taking it (no eating before taking it or something more particular)?
~following question number three: is there any way to minimize the nausea and other unwanted effects, because I've heard that the first hours after you've taken some fly agaric is a bitch... So you know, skipping the shitty part of the trip would be great.
P.S. Sorry for these FAQ's. I bet I could find the info myself, but I'm too lazy and you seem to have PhD on amanita muscaria.

I know you didnt ask me but Ill give my experience. I ate them along side some crackers,and arizona tea, dry amanitas from Latvia. first ate 5g, didnt feel much of anything, so I ate another 3g. Didnt fast, but had a moderately empty stomach. No nasuea, no side effects. fealt really good, had a great body high, enhanced colors, light but bright euphoria. (from 8g) But I wanted to trip, about an hour and a half later after enjoying that small dose. So I ate another 12g, to equal 20. I was tripping now, time distortion, forgetting i had things in my hands, id grab a cup of juice then the next thing i knew, it wasnt there. It was on the table. Id have my phone in my hand, then id look at my hand and it wasnt there, it was on the couch beside me. Moderately tripping, no side effects, no nasuea.
But as time went by and my friend came and picked me up, to do the same, it became quite powerful and overwhelming. Side effects kicked in, slight nasuea. Hot swets, id open the door to get some air, then id be freezing. Hot cold hot cold. Not a very enjoyable experience. Then i took a couple puffs of marijuana and it became so fucking overwhelming me and my friend blacked out for a couople hours, woke up from a phone call, my sister. Time to go home.
5g-8g is euphoric, bright, very fun, made me more sociable.
im not sure between 8-20. Be careful though. When your tripping, time is very fragmented.

So the reason that the lemon tek works is that the acidity of the lemon juice helps to break down the cell walls of the mushroom, which allows the actives to more freely permeate your blood stream and concentrate in your brain. If lemon juice is acidic enough to help break down the cell walls of your amanitas, it should have a similar effect.
The active gets into your brain faster, so you get a shorter come up, a more intense, but shorter peak, and a shorter overall experience.

What's your experience with psychedelics? Sounds great though. (weed + amanitas is how I'll go.)
