Why Just Lemon Tek?

I always see lemon tek and I tried it myself and I liked it and had lately been making a lemon and lime drink with honey which is FUCKING AMAZING just to let you know. But while at the store i was remembering how people said to drink orange juice and stuff during but i was wondering if an orange could be used in a similar way as a lemon/lime for ingesting the mushrooms? and Orange tek if you will lol...was Just curious. Happy adventuring.

In my opinion it is mostly just breaking up and rehydrating mushrooms that makes them hit harder rather than some reaction involving lemon juice specifically. I don't really notice a difference throwing them in cup of tea compared to lemon juice, but if I eat them dry it can take a little longer for them to kick in.

Get them really dry. I find that ones that were cracker dry when they went into storage will absorb just enough moisture that they don't powder well. They should crumble into a dust. I make an actual pot of tea, add 1/4 - 1/2 a lemon/lime worth of juice. Then I put the mushroom powder in and let steep/stir for ten minutes.
Orange probably wouldn't work. Orange juice would work but you still need nearly boiling temps to do this properly. The lemon makes psilocin water soluble. If you are not going to consume the mushroom slurry, and only the liquid, then using lemon is the only way to get psilocin and psilocybin in the tea solution together.

Why not a lemon-lime-orange tek? Like all three fresh squeezed juices

The lemon isn't there for flavor. This is more of a chemical extraction. The water solution needs to be acidic and very hot to do this right. If you are willing to boil orange juice, go for it.

I'm pretty sure many people used fresh squeezed oranges for lemon tekks as well.

i had a flashback of the smell of shrooms today and it just had me deep the strongest i've ever tripped off of half an 8th I chugged a glass of lemon juice after eating them, felt like an 8th to 4 grams was super intense. Not sure if there is any correlation here

That would hurt my stomach so bad. I'd rather just 5grams and call it a day

Lol honestly what i do is take 2 limes 3 lemons and then squirt them into an 8 cup jar with a spoonful of honey then i fill it with water and mix it around then refrigerate it usually the whole night before or at least an hour before hand. really helps and it's not as harsh on the stomach as full on lemon or lime juice would be

Or better yet, make a whiskey sour.

The citric acid hydrolizes psilocybin to psilocin which is the active compound. If you ingest psilocybin it must be metabolized into psilocin before it can make you trip which results in a more stretched out experience.
I definitely notice a difference with lemon tek the trip is shorter its not placebo.
Also the fact that you are dissolving it in water so you dont have to digest the mushrooms to absorb the psilocin.

No. Citric acid does not hydrolyze psilocybin. Citric acid reacts with psilocin to make the water soluble salt psilocin citrate.

grind eighth of mushrooms into powder
squeeze 4 fresh lemons into the powder, ensuring there is plenty to cover and extra.
let sit for couple hours or overnight if planning an early morning trip
add a little water and a good serving of honey
down it all
thats my usual method of dosing
noticeable difference in duration, 4.5 hours and im done getting waves, only afterglow feeling. without lemon i get an extra hour or so of tripping

Couple hours? Over night??... I've heard keeping it soaked for anymore than 20 or 30 minutes will fuck it up. I'm not sure why or how but that's just what I've heard.

People I know who are very experienced with lemon tekking say it's unwise to let it sit for more than even just 20 minutes sometimes. What makes you so sure that that's not true?

One time the wife and I whipped up some lemon tek shots but something happened and we weren't able to partake that night. We froze them overnight and popped them in a glass of iced tea in the morning. To much surprise they did basically nothing. A half assed come up then straight back to earth.

Hmmm yea from what I've heard keeping it in for too long seems to actually degrade the potency.

Psilocybin and psilocin are very unstable in solution. One should consume their tea as quickly as possible. Light is the primary culprit
