Distillation of Psilocin

A simple recipe, it's called "aqueous dephosphorylation" and it takes about 90 minutes. That can seem like a long time, but it's worth it. Grind up (as close to powder as possible) 2 to 10 grams dry mushroom. Add to 95 cc filtered water + 5 ccs wt. vinegar. Let sit at room temp for one hour Put the mixture in a secondary pan of boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. Transfer beaker to an ice bath for 5-10 min. Strain and drink This dilute acetic acid process will dephosphorylate all the psilocybin to psilocin. End result is a very pretty indigo liquid of not unpleasant taste. The distillation removes the other alkaloids responsible for the nausea and tachycardia that often accompanies simple ingestion and even lemon-tek recipes. I have personally ingested the strained residue to check if anything was left behind in the chemical purifying process. There was nothing, not even a micro dose buzz

This is just a simple water extraction, like making tea. Psilocybin is highly soluble in water. It's expected that after boiling shrooms in water for 10 minutes there would be no alkaloids left in the shrooms.
Dephosphorylation occurs in the stomach and liver anyhow, as psilocybin is a prodrug of psilocin. Our bodies convert psilocybin to psilocin before we metabolise it, we do not metabolise psilocybin. By doing this in a pot all we achieve is causing rapid oxidization of the alkaloids which can be seen visibly by their blue colour.
Using acetic acid (vinegar) rather than citric acid (lemon) doesn't change anything. The chemical reaction is the same. It's the same as lemon tek.
Distillation removes things with a higher boiling point than water, which includes psilocybin. Only things with a lower boiling point than water like solvents and oils would remain in a distilled solution. Not that the process you outlined is distillation as it does not describe it at all.
I hope this clears everything up for you.
