Lemon Tek or Tea (2nd time on shrooms)

Last week was my first experience on mushrooms I have been using drugs for eight years now and never touched a psychedelic. After taking 0.5 grams I was unpleased and I believed my plug had ripped me off so I finished the rest of what I bought, 1.5 more grams. I didn't get visuals besides trails and some geometric patterns but had my favorite high of my life, better than any opiate, benzo, or stimulant I have taken. Primarily because I felt in tune with nature in a way I have never felt before and it was an overall beautiful experience. Anyhow I went to buy half an ounce of what I believe are cubes today and I am ready to hallucinate for the first time, I am well versed in meditation and love making loose leaf tea but have just stumbled upon lemon tekking so my question to you shroom adepts is what method do you believe I should take for hallucinations and strong visuals. Thank you so much in advance and forgive me if I am coming across as naive.

OK if you want a strogner buts shorter trip use the lemon!
I can't even get oev without lemon tek! Do some research on Syrian rue for future trips. Take at least 3 grams mushrooms. If your scared type then take 2 grams.

I'd recommend simply eating them... I usually eat a full 1/8th and am never disappointed... If you want insane visuals, eat a bunch and close your eyes.

Thank you both for the Input, I will lemon tek 3 grams as suggested and document the trip tomorrow. I was also wondering if I could let the cubes soak in the lemon juice for 20 minutes, bring my water to a boil, then after the soaking is completed place them (and the lemon juice) in my tea infuser with mandarin loose leaf and allow it to sit for another 10 minutes and maybe add some honey afterwards for sweetener. Is that a huge waste of resources or does it sound like a decent brew?

When making a tea....it's best to add something acidic to the water, lower the pH a bit, with something like a bit of lemon juice, this allows the actives to pull into the tea/water more effectively....
...with out adding an acid to the tea, some of the alkaloids will still make it into the water, but not as effective with making it a little acidic.

That's along the lines of how I make my tea...
-I crush/break up my mushrooms into small bits.
-Place the mushroom bits in a cup
-Squeeze lemon juice into the cup with the mushroom bits, just enough so that the mushroom pieces are submerged/soaked.
-I let the lemon juice & mushrooms sit and soak in the cup for 10 to 20 minutes or so. While it's soaking I bring some distilled water up to a boil (I don't like to use tap water when making any entheogenic brews).
-Once the water is at a full boil, I pour the water into the cup with the lemon juice & mushrooms.
-I let the hot water/lemon juice/mushrooms sit and steep for at least 30 to 45 minutes or so, giving the cup a good stir every few minutes.
-Then I filter off the mushroom material, give it a good squeeze to get every drop of water out of the mushrooms and into my cup.
-Then down the hatch....
Safe travels

I lemon tekked 2 grams and decided that I either had tolerance problems or I had failed miserably, after 30-45 minutes I rationalized to myself that it was tolerance problems. I ate 3 grams of dried cubes after this, after around 1-1.5 hours after the tek I began feeling a very strong come-up and knew I had made an intense decision, only time would tell if it was a good or bad one. In the middle of my second cigarette it started hitting me... hard. While I enjoy being outside during trips I decided for my safety I should head inside due to the fact that I had never feel a come up that intense (this is my first year with psychedelics) upon coming inside I turned on Clockwork Orange, it had just came up on Netflix and heard it was a fascinating movie just never got the chance to watch it. The colors were significantly enhanced the audio seemed to speak to me in a way I hadn't ever felt before. I was insanely empathetic, when our protagonist was in trouble I felt really sad for him, when he was having a great time so was I. I had marked it off as a great experience and used the bathroom and was upset I had no real visuals. While I was washing my hands geometric figures and trails were significantly more present, then I noticed my pupils the blacks of my eyes almost completely consumed the green of them. I decided to lay in my bed and hope for the best. Sleep was impossible (not that I cared with the visuals I got) I had a discussion with my grandpa who had unfortunately just passed this year, shot through space in a rocketship, saw cartoonesque aliens, and right as the trip was ending/I was going to sleep the kaliedoscope effect really hit home with an insane spectrum of beautiful colors (primarily brown and red). I am still working on understanding and bringing back the most I can from my trips, but all in all it was a beautiful experience and look forward to much more ahead of me.

Sounds pretty awesome! Many people say lemon-tek takes only 10-15 minutes to feel, but when I did it I didn't feel a thing for forty minutes.

It was legitimately beautiful, I credit the time it took due to it being my first tek and having no prior experience.
