I never weighed out what I ate so it doesn't make much difference if it's stems or caps.

I've noticed that every time I bought shrooms off the black market, the dealer called them Penis Envy. Every strain was Penis Envy and they always say something like "I threw in more caps for ya, bud". I never trust anything a dealer tells me when it comes to mushrooms.

I once had this 45 year old dude ask me for shrooms and then said "if there's not a lot caps then keep them"
I laughed so hard

The real question should be could you tell if 7grms caps were more potent than 7grms stems, I say no, so if you viewed things that way then caps and stems are equal.
this.
additionally, one's perception of strength can be reinforced by suggestion, meaning that if one believes something is different (stronger/weaker/etc), it is likely to be perceived as different.

I have always heard that caps have slightly higher levels of psychoactive chemicals. I'm not sure if that's true, but I assume it has some merit because I heard/read it from people who presumably know more about it than I do. That being the case, when I weigh out multiple doses, I tend to weigh caps and stems separately. I divvy them up proportionally in each dose with the intent of achieving as much chemical consistency as possible. Still, the levels can vary from shroom to shroom, so you can never be exactly certain what you're going to get, but you can make an educated guess. As far as I know, any difference experienced may be entirely based on user expectations, but I enjoy putting the caps on a pedestal.

Grind everything up and mix well then dose should be pretty consistent I would imagine.

It's a bogus debate based on bogus "information" from some bogus studies many years ago done by people who didn't have a clue.
tl;dr OF COURSE THEY DO, ARE YOU STOOPID OR WHAT?

"Stronger because I included more caps"
Or it's just different because of one of the multidude of variables that impact a trip. Like set, setting, mind state
