this is kind of off topic but not really.i read an article in the paper yesterday concerning grapefruit and drugs..it said that doctors are telling there patients that they can have oranges while on medication but not grapefruit because it enhances absorbtion and could bring the drugs they are on to dangerous levels...my question is has anybody ever ate grapefruit with there mushrooms..and if you have did notice any difference in the potency of the trip??..im gonna test this theory soon..peace
I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,

Never heard of this. Just the thought of the grapefruit and the good fruit dancin' around in my gullet makes me feel sick. If you want to enhance the groove, don't eat for 12 hrs., sleep for at least 4 hrs., then eat two more grams then you were gonna. I'll bet if you put the grapefruit juice in your eye while your trippin' you'll know what your stomach would have felt like. Peace-FU

yes i have heard that also. not sure of the exact URL but i did find that on www.erowid.com a while back. the article i speak of was actually in contrast to people taking orange juice to enhance the trip and that most people say that it is the vitamin C that boosts it. it said that the vitamin C only slightly enhances your eyesight and is not very effective even at giving better visuals. last 3.5 grams i took (unsure of the strain, this was an eighth i got before i started growing) i had a whole canister of concentrated orange juice in a large cup with about 1:1 concentrated orange huice to water; very strong but then again i love O.J. not sure how much it helped but i tripped my balls off :). but back to the grapefruit, there is supposedly a chemical that does increase the absorbtion rate of psilocin, rendering the otherwise (mostly) wasted psilocin from the shrooms useful. normally the majority of teh trip comes from your body breaking doen psilocybin to psilocin and that is teh active part. most of the shrooms original psilocis is generally absorbed into the liver within an hour or so. again i have no official documentation of that but i remember what i read.

I thought eveyone knew about this. Remeber in "Where the buffalo roam" and "fear and loathing in las vegas" Hunter was always eating, and or ordering grape friuts. he knew what was up. He even drank nips out of grape fruits.
