Awesome man! I'm glad to hear that it worked out good for you this time around. You think you'll do the lemon tek from now on every time or just on occasions?
Was the length of the trip shortened by any or did you not notice?
I'd like to hear more if you have the time or care to talk about your experience with the lemon tek.

Hi
I was wondering if instead of using lemon juice, is it ok to just put the mushroom powder into water?.
I know that the lemon juice is what is making the trip more powerful (but shorter), but I was thinking that if I just had the mushrooms in a powder form it should still be different to chewing down dried out mushrooms (requiring my gut to brake down the chewed up bits? But the powder shouldn't require as much effort on the stomach, and therefore take effect faster.

Put the mushrooms in water with some orange or lemon juice, boil them to get all the goodies out, strain and squeeze, reserve the liquid and toss the mushies. No point in eating mushroom tissue when you've extracted the goods. The thing I've never understood about lemon tek is people not straining the mushrooms out and eating the nasty slimy bits. What's the point in doing an extraction if you still eat the mushrooms?

It seems like with lemon tek, the effects hit you very fast, and you get most the effects right away. I made a truffle tea with lemon in it. I drank the tea, 15 mins later i was having a level 3 trip, i had 30G fresh truffles, 15G is a "high" dose to their site. Every minute, it got stronger, but within 30 minutes of taking the tea I was level 4 and it didn't get much stronger.

Lemon tek is not an extraction, the point of lemon tek is to convert all the psilocybin to psilocin so your stomach doesn't have to there for hitting you faster and harder. And by straining out all the mushroom bits your probably losing some alkaloids by doing that. probably not very much but by eating all the bits you are sure to get everything. Mushroom fiber is like a sponge so when you boil with water or what ever and strain that fiber it will retain the liquid and in that liquid are so called "goodies" that you are throwing away.

I had a trip last week, a pretty mild one. I ate an orange about an hour in and it definitely picked up. Had some more orange a couple of hours later and got another lift.

Its because there is undoubtedly some psiloycbin left in the mushroom fiber. THe goal of the lemon tek isn't an extraction but a potency and onset increase.

Not if brew your tea right.
 Lemon tek is a half assed, lazy extraction. It quickens onset the way tea does, but has most if not all the nausea of eating the mushrooms. Doesn't appeal to me, but to each his own.

Brew tea, squeeze mushroom dry, there is not potency loss. Lemon juice is acidic water, when you soak mushrooms in acidic water then the indoles change chemically as you stated, but they do so when the go into solution in the acidic water, if some of the solution stays in the hydroscopic tissue of the mushrooms, it's still an extraction, just a shitty half assed extraction. Brew tea with more fluid and very finely chopped mushrooms, then the solution is more dilute so less indoles are left in the tissue with the same about of fluid, and when you strain and squeeze nearly all the fluids out there is no noticeable amount of alkaloids lost and you get to enjoy a tasty, stomach soothing tea rather than a goopy, acidic mess.
Lemon tek IS an extraction, just a shitty one.

Hay man do what you like, im not gonna sit here and argue with you about wether its an extraction or not. Tea, lemon tek, or lemon tek tea are not my preferred way of consuming mushrooms, I think tea and various lemon tek methods are a half ass way of consumption. But like you said to each his own. How did your peyote/bridg trip go? Or have you done it yet P. Zapp?

Anyone else just powder the mushrooms & chase it with water? I don't do tea/lemon tek/extractions.
