I know there's a whole discussion about Vitamin C and potency increase. Whether its proven or not...I just have a question.
I see these all over the stores and just wanted to know if I take some of these befor I ingest my shrooms, would it do anything?

nothing to do with your post sorry, but emergen-C in the shit! Raspberry is the best, and when I judged the CC, our printed guides said to make sure you take your emergen-C since you're going to be visiting 20 + coffee shops and getting soooooo amokey. If high times says its good... heh

I concure with that stuff being the absolute BOMB! Your sick... take Emer'gen-C, Tired - Emer'gen-C...anything!
I don't know if it would make you trip harder, but certianly if your lacking any sort of vitamin or mineral, it will help with that. It probably would be an excellent tool for coming down off of X. It helps hangovers like nothing else!
Sorry to not really answer your question, but it wouldn't hurt..but I think any magnifyed effects are giong to purely be placebo.

I wish I could find the link for yall, but Im sure I wont. It is from a very scientific study, and thats why I remember it.
Vitamin C is known to make trips more easy to deal with. It is purely psychosomatic, and it calms the trip. It does not potentiate any drugs or make them less powerful, it only fascilitates a more relaxed state of body/mind.
If you drink orange juice which has suger in it it could potentiate the trip. Or if you take it before, it MIGHT add to the way your stomach absorbes the drug. But V-C does not actually do anything but relax the body, and thus it relaxes the mind.

Well, I'll just take some before hand for that "placebo" effect.

Thats what im saying License_to_Chill, suger has its effects on the trip, but V-C is for the most part not a big deal. It does little, as studies have shown. I dont think you got my point. The only way it would work before hand is because of the acidic contents in the juice. That would do something, but it is likely that it would do less than and tall glass of OJ(natural suger). Thats cool though, that you missed the point and referenced every premis to the placebo effect. I personally dont care if you use things like V-C pills or OJ. For me I dont care to use anything to potentiate my shrooms. Next time though, think of an even less cool thing to say to someone who knows what they are talking about.

The only reason anyone would say that it makes you more calm, (a healthy feeling if you know what I mean), is because it does that to sober people(this is scientifically proven and very true for many reasons). Were you hoping that it would actually effect your use of the drug beyond the fact that you absorb the alkaloids differently when you take acidic juices "before hand"? I just thought Id shed some light on this subject. However if you call suger a placebo in the context of "while using hallucinogens" you are sorely wrong.

LOL have you read the post??? That's what the whole experiment is about! Obviously some people believe it definately works (hence the topics existence) but the Government hasn't done much lab research or anything on it (other than what stemmer is discussing), so it's not entirely set in stone. peace

It is not set in stone and is not a way for you trip harder, thats for sure. It has very specific actions on the body and thus the mind. Its not hard to find this info. The actions of V-C can make the trip slightly different if anything, but it is no more different than if your body takes in a dose of V-C without mushrooms. V-C has its own, well documented place in our bodies and the actions of our various organs. Some of these actions make them an interesting addition to the psychadelic experience. No one here is willing to give you written proof unless they find the link themselves. You will find the information about it if you desire to. In the context of hallucinogens, id rather not mess with V-C. Its acidic properties in the form of orange juice, I know personally to add an effect that applies to the acidic nature of the juice and the psi in the gut, as well as personally knowing how suger effect the trip. Beyond that, V-C has its own effects on the whole body.
It does something thats for sure

im not too entirely sure of the vitamin-c theory. how the low acidic drinks that are very much low on the ph lever VERY much boost a trip....if thats what your looking for.
shot of lemon juice with ground up mushies.....BOOM tripping balls in 20 minutes harder then anything.

That nutritional facts on the link say to drink 2 or more of those daily! Doesn't that seem like an absurd amount of Vitamin C every day.

I'm going to be trying that lemon juice one, very shortly.
But, for the hell of it, I'm going to take some of the Vit. C before hand. If it relaxes me, thats all I want.
