Mushroom Powder Capsules

I wasn't exactly sure where to post this so I posted it here. I just read the guide on how to make "shroom pills" but I was wondering if they actually work just the same as eating them? I just emptied a bunch of anti-biotic capsules in order to fill them with powdered shrooms. What is the best way to grind them? What is the best way to find out how much is in each capsule? I was thinking I would weigh an empty capsule, then weigh a filled capsule and subtract the weight of the empty campsule, would that work? Please help and shoot over your oppinions on this. Thanks in advance!

Powder shrooms in a coffee grinder.
Fill capsules with powdered mushrooms.
Weigh and subtract weight of empty capsule from total.
Ingest desired amount.
Powdered shrooms will kick in much faster than just chewing/eating them. You will come up, and peak sooner. The trip won't last nearly as long, but almost!

The capsules I emptied are 500mg. Does that mean that there was .5 grams of powder in the capsules? If so, then it is safe to assume each capsule is each going to equal half a gram of shrooms? I know this is a krude way to figure it out but its just a rough draft until i get my scale.

Yes, I would say that is a safe guess. Also, yup 500mg is .5g. They will kick in much faster/stronger though because of the greater surface area of the powdered shrooms...be careful!

You can also purchase empty gel capsules at many health food or supplement stores. They are pretty cheap, and don't have any residue.
This is something I have been meaning to do for a while, even have the empty gel caps and the shrooms, just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Good Luck!!! -DD

If I don't have a coffee grinder available, is it possible that cutting them up in bits and putting them in a pepper grinder would work? One of those manual ones that have the little balls of pepper in them?

Do not assume that 500mg pills will contain 500 mg's of ground mushies. You have to take into account the density of the different substances. Think about it: can you grind up a half gram (a small-medium sized dry mushroom) into the size of a pill? Just get a scale and do it properly, and never assume when it comes to these things.

I did this with the bigger capsuls you can buy. Took 19capsuls filled with very very fine powder to reach an 1/8 also, I ate them and barely felt the effects too.. and they were EXTREMELY good shrooms. Maybe a victim of circumstance, but I wont be using this method again.

Probably not. But then again, what the hell do I know?

True. Never assume. But, empty "0" sized capsules will hold 0.5g (500mg) of dry, ground shrooms.
There are different sizes of pills ("0", "00", etc) so make sure that you got the "0" size and you can be pretty confident that you've got 0.5g.
(7 pills) x (0.5g/pill) = 3.5 grams (1/8th oz)
I am a big fan of the pill method. I [hypothetically] won't do it any other way.

What's the best way to fill the capsules once they are empty? It seems like it would be a pain in the ass

Pain in the ass, definetly. Worth it, absolutely. No taste, minimal stomach effects, and a pretty quick on-set. IMHO, the best way to ingest them. And as far as the weight is concerned, definetly weigh them, dont assume anything. Have fun and be safe, Peace!

Grind in a coffee bean grinder, dump out on a plate. Take the larger half [of the pill] in your hand and a chopstick in your other. Sorta "ram" the powder into the pill, and when it's full, start compacting with the chopstick. Do the same with the other half. Then squeeze the two halves together.
You'll get the hang of it soon enough.
I've found the chopstick works best for me. The diameter is barely smaller than that of the pill.
A credit card is useful when the pile gets moved around.
Rubber gloves are also useful. I just take a single glove and cut the fingers off, and place on my thumb and middle of each hand. The dust will stick to your fingers.
For the lazy, there are inexpensive pill making devices. It's basically a plate with 20 or so wells in it. Place the pill halves in the wells, fill with desired herb, and pack with the included tool. I plan to get one some day. They're only like $15 and they ship with a buttload of empty gellcaps.

Yup, I bought the device that helps you pack up the pills and it was totally worth it. Also it'll be a while before i use up all 1000 empty pills they sent me.
not only will you be able to pill up shrooms, but any powder. This is good when dosing out RCs(many have gross pill tastes).
BTW, make sure you get GEL caps. Not VEGGIE caps. Veggie caps severely inhibit the come on and lower the effects(they are hard for your body to digest through). The gel caps dissolve in water, so the come on is normal + the added bonus of increased surface area.

But success in getting after much labor what you really don't care for is the bitterest and most ridiculous failure." -George Santayana
