G'da all
Just hitting the 8 hour mark for a 1.150g cubensis lemon tek.
I had dryed these guys on fan 24 hours and then oven drying for a bit over 8 hours at 65-75C with door cracked and oven fan on.
I was paranoid this they may have been wrecked by the ovan so i tried a small dose to gauge it and was pleasently surprised.

I am not very familiar with the mushroom, only times iv had them was with or after lsd, 2g max in tea and once a tiny bit of mushroom honey. Nothing stood out much except the 2g tea with lsd making the trip i little less sharp and more bendy in a way.
Every day pot smoker for 5ish years (not anymore),
20ish acid trips ranging from most mild at gigs, a few very strong.
Semi-regular dmt use, mostly changa these days.

Anyways, ground mushrooms to fine powder in a coffee grinder, squeezed 1 full lemon into a cup, added the mushroom dust and left stirring on a magnetic stirrer for 1 hour at room temp. 5-6 hours no food, havent eaten much all.day really (some grapes, toste and milk and coffee.

30m in - was starting to get a warm body/head buzz reminisent of weed but different.not much else.

45m-1h in - trippy thoughts begin. Music is very HD, the little sounds like licking lips are so
Crisp (Shpongle)
In the dark, waving the phone around made 1-2 second arcs of color tracers. Had fun changing the image on the phone for different tracer patterns.
Lights on an increased visual acuity was quite apparent.

Smoked some harmala freebase from s.rue 50mg ish

2-3h in - same as 1h in but now there are very faint patterns that remind me of changa comedown visuals,
Edges of things are very sleightly warping and moving in some way, pattern recognition is up as well.

2 more hours and started to notice the comedown. 6-8h after ingestion and i feel pretty much sober but drained a bit.

Good vibes and love all round.
Peace

awesome, thanks for the read welcome to the shroomery!

thats insanely complicated


just make tea next time. especially with lower doses

1.1g is nothing of its regular cubes. Too small for even an introduction dose IMO

Never do less than 1.8

Lol i guess so, i find it fun and am in no rush. im used meticulous extractions and tinkerings so this was as simple as switching the stirrer on..
I already had the mushrooms powdered so i can have consistent doses. And before anyone says oxidation, its stored in an airtight glass bottle with silica gel and argon.. Lol i know

put that stuff at 50°C on the stirrer. You'll thank me

Once iv uped the dose i plan on trying that. Benzeme from the dmt nexus was saying that it aids the conversion

Benzeme "there's a good chance dephosphorylation won't occur at all, until you gently heat it. putting lemon juice in it, then refrigerating it seems counterintuitive; slight heat would catalyze it.

extraction methods cited in papers (Casale 1985, specifically) call for 40C incubation, following acidification."

Benzeme "heat + acid.
if one were to draw an equation for dephosphorylation, psilocybin and H+ (acid) would be on the reactants side, and Δ would be above the reaction arrow to indicate heat as the catalyst.

lemon juice in hot tea, i'd let it sit for about 20 mins. keep it warm in a hot water bath.
over-dephosphorylation isn't really an issue, oxidation of psilocin is..and that's catalyzed by enzymes bound to psilocin. with proper protonation (addition of a weak acid), this isn't much of a problem."

Bill let the man do as he pleases. We might know about the world of high doses but be chill bro.
