Does lemon tek enhance all drugs?

I feel like when I mix vodka with lemon juice the euphoria is much more intense, is it just me?

Alcohol is euphoric?
Just seems to get me drunk.

Lemon juice puts your system into shock with it's massive content of acid.

Do you know how lemon tekking works?
And the answer to your question in the title is no...definitely not.

When I drink alcohol alone, I just get kinda sedated and my mood is slightly lifted. But when I mix it with lemon juice I don't know the farmacology behind it, but I get an awesome dopamine rush. I've never tried cocaine or anything like that, but I think it's close to the feeling you get, I just feel invincible and happy. I usually need to drink much less to get where I want.
I've read a research where ascorbic acid interacts with the SCVT2 transporters and helps drugs cross the brain barrier more easily, maybe that explains it.

Ascorbic acid must be converted to sodium ascorbate for utilization by the body (usually occurs in the digestive process). 
You could make it easier on your metabolic processes by taking sodium ascorbate (a salt form of vitamin c) instead.
Ginger tends to enhance the absorption of most substances (minus some toxins that the ginger could neutralize with antioxidants and such) that pass through the digestive tract.

The only thing lemon tek does is change the pH of the solution you're adding it to, so if you're getting different effects of alcohol simply by changing its pH?

Pretty sure the enzymes in lemon juice just pre digest some drugs like psilocybin so that they are absorbed quicker and the effects are felt sooner.

This is why I asked OP if he even knows what lemon tekking is or does. The only reason it seemingly "enhances" mushrooms effects on a subjective level are simply because the trip comes on faster because you're pretty much taking already digested mushrooms.

I could elaborate all the science behind how ascorbic acid works, but one thing I can assure you, shrooms will kick your ass really hard if you take lemon tek for granted.
I only get visual hallucinations when I lemon tek, it is a legit method and it will triplicate the intensity of your trip, very easy to take more than you intended.

I just feel happy and I want to share my lemon coffee tek  If you add lemon juice (I add half lemon) to your morning coffee you will feel great and it will clean you up HARD, like this . It tastes awesome too
So yeah, lemon teks are probably only useful for shrooms but...lemons are awesome per se!

Yeah the way it works for psilocybin is by simply changing the pH. The acidity of the lemon cleaves the phosphoro group and suspends psilocin in the solution, there's no special effect besides changing the pH. Lemon juice is acidic
From this thread I think we can conclude changing the pH of alcohol and coffee changes the rate you absorb it most likely that's it, you're just adding citric acid to it, basically the pH of the solution better matches the pH of the stomach and digestive ie making you feel it quicker by absorbing it faster
With mushrooms you're also cleaving Psilocybin into Psilocin, which otherwise your stomach would do for you. When it's already cleaved and entering your stomach at the same pH, boom magic.

Lemon juice doesn't have the enzymes necessary to dephosphorylate any drug. How simple would it be converting a substance into another if all you needed was an acid.
Anyways it doesn't matter how it works, what matters is that it works. People who don't believe it are either naive or have probably not been doing it properly
