Effects of freezing before/after drying on potency (anecdotally) of cyans.
    #28522876 - 10/29/23 10:03 PM (6 months, 16 days ago)

I wanted to inquire if anyone has had a similar experience or if this is a known effect and where I might find some more writing on it.

I had a batch of cyans I wasn't able to process immediately so I froze them before my standard process of dry -> grind -> encapsulate. When using my normal 'dose' from this batch I noticed a much stronger effect that ramped up more quickly than is normal. Total effect time was still the standard 4-5 hours but the peak was longer and felt like it arrived within the first 45 minutes, usually its the 2nd hour.

Noted 'Controls':
Same brand of capsules and overall process I have used for the last year.
Cyans are from a patch I first collected from last year.
Collected at the same life cycle stage as previous year, cap fully developed with heavy evidence of spore release onto tops of younger caps/plants immediately below.

Theory: Our working theory has been that the freezing caused cells to burst, leaving more directly available psychoachtive components 'loose' in the ground up dried material we pack our capsules with.

Please ask any clarifying questions, give thoughts (even if you think I am crazy). Just curious to know more about what might have happened.

How exactly did you consume the frozen ones?

Your theory makes sense - freezing may have produced ice crystals which rupture cell walls. Meaning (like with lemon tek) your stomach doesn't have to work to digest and extract the goodies from a fibrous matrix, so it hits fast all at once.

Pulled them out of freezer after 5~ days.
Dehydrated till dry.
Ground them up.
Packed into capsules, aiming for 250mg per capsule.

Took 4 capsules, normal dose for low range Level 3 trip.
