Who exclusively caps their shrooms?

I don't know about any of you but I always put my shrooms into capsules. Anyone else always do this? I'm a real pussy about tasting things... Alcohol makes me gag. I think it's because, as a young teen, I drank Robitussin a couple times (barf) and it's sort of made me gag after tasting anything I deem less than pleasurable. I guess it's somewhat beneficial to outgrow alcohol at an early age :P ... And somehow I think I'll be able to down a glass of cactus juice :/

I can tolerate the taste of mushies, but my husband has a very sensitive palate/tummy so we capsule exclusively now. He's said that using capsulated shrooms has completely rejuvinated his shrooming experiences.

I just cut shrooms up into small pieces and swallow them like pills.

I cap my shroomz to preserve them on the shelf, packing the powder in as tightly as I can.... The negative to this is that (for me) I have noticed that taking the caps like this, it sometimes takes 2-3 hours before there are ANY noticable effects - even on an empty stomach....
The first time I did this, I took about 1.5gr and after 2 hours, nothing.... So I took another 1gr tossing it off to a weak strain, and expecting the same results of nothing.... Well, about 45mins later, the first ones started taking hold, slow ramp up, and LOOOOOOONNNNG peak, as I am thinking that the second dose hit at the end of the first peak, and the peak was more like a peak-platue...! It was a good experience, but not what I expected....
Has anyone else had these delayed effects from packed capsules...?

Try making some mushroom tea, stir in a little honey or squeeze in some drops of lemon to boost the taste. Reduces nausia, easy to drink, and easy to make.

Yeah, especially with the easy-to-find vegan capsules.
You can help this by punching holes in the gelcaps directly before use, or by 'unclicking' the cap so it's not on all the way. Lay gently on tongue and it should fall apart after being swallowed.

Unless you are a vegitarian, I can see no reason to use the vegan capsules. They take way too long to dissolve. I just use regular gelatin capsules and I have felt effects within 35-60 minutes.

Simply all I could find. I went all around town. The GNCs gave me a funny look and told me they no longer carry gelcaps and a few other similar stores had none as well. Finally found vegan caps in a healthfood store. It's not a personal statement

OK, I just looked to see if they were gelatin or vegan.... I did get them online from a certain "Basement" company, and they ARE listed as gelatin capsules.... ::::scratching head:::: And the delay has not been a one time thing either, it has been consistant every time I have done this.... I pretty much just plan on the 2-3hr wait...!
In counterdict to this, I also use the kava kava lactone paste (a very wonderful product) in the SAME caps, and I notice the effects start appearing in 30-45min.... So what the hell...?
I do pack the caps very very tightly with a Berol drawing pencil that has a metal cap on the end that fits PERFECTLY into the end of a "00" size cap.... Since it is oxygen that destroys the actives of shroomz, I would think the tighter you pack them, the less oxygen is in them, and the longer they last....
OK, now knowing this, and after my first delayed experience, the second time I took them this way I rolled the caps in my fingers to loosen up the contents.... I still had the same delay....
For reference, Yes - the shoom powder is completely dried with dissesant(sp) before packing, as well as stored with a dissesant pack in a glass bottle.... Yes, on an empty stomach.... No, I was not on any other influences....
I had thought maybe that I was packing them to tight, but when I rolled them in my fingers they did give a little, and it did loosen up a bit.... So now I am lost as to why this is happening....
I will try the "loosening the end, and poking holes in the caps before ingesting them" next time, as suggested by Ayrios.... I just hope they don't crack or spit open in the process in their super dry state.... Unfortunately I will not know the results for a while (a month or so) because I just did the fungi dance about 2 weeks ago.... I usually space out my vacations about 1-2 months apart....

I've never capped shrooms or any other substance for that matter... except weed, like back in grade 9. Made some huge keif capsules.
I've gotta try capping shrooms though. Does it help to slow down metabolism? Err, what I mean is, how much longer will they take to metabolize as opposed to eating them raw? Because mushrooms hit me about 15 minutes after ingestion, far too fast and sometimes I get a stomach ache. Not tryin' to jack your thread or anything, just wondering...

Very smooth and gradual comeup. I suppose the capsule doesn't break down evenly since only a small part of the surface is on the lining of the stomach. It must stick to the wall and not roll around. If it broke down all at once, however, the comeup would be accelerated as the surface area of all that fine powder would be quite a bit higher than chewed dry mushrooms.

Tea is probably a better option, or even make a soup. Spinkle on some salt and pepper and dip some bread in. lol. I have put them in yoghurt before, that way they are easy to just swallow without even tasting them. Never capped them though.

This is weird; I only use gelcaps and have never experienced any delayed digestion, in fact, when I use caps with powder the mushies actually kick in faster! Gelcaps are the only way to go, IMHO, I'd never eat them again. Plus, with gelcaps, you dont get as much swamp-gas

The last 5 times I've done shrooms I have capsuled them. The first three times I experienced a delay ~2 hours long. The other two times they hit in about 15-30 minutes. Only thing really different is that the first three times all of the capsules were from the same batch and had been sitting for a little while; the last two were ingested the next day.
