my pesa first trip, didnt seem to intense. atleast not as intense as mushies ive bought from other people.
do you believe, drying in a dark place vs a place with light will help reduce oxidation? im just not sure

best way to ovoid potency loss is to pick em and go directly in the dehydrator and dry asap other than that it's genetics

xaxphaanes said: anything can make a trip diffrent i have tripped maybe 20 times on these south american strain and sometimes it is visual sometimes it is body high always diffrent and this couldnt be genetics since the strain is an isolate.sooo soo many things go into making a trip that any number of things that are diff could change it i.e mood,temp,people,general surroundings etc etc etc.i have also had the pleasure with a gt isolate and it knocked my socks off with 4 grams (i usualy take 6-7)so it's all genetics
Yes. I will accept that potency may sometimes vary according to genetics, though I think it is an overstated factor. However, anyone who thinks the nature of the trip varies by strain is a damned fool. Psilos contain psilocybin and psilocin... either way it's getting metabolized to psilocin. One active = one biological effect, even though that effect can be perceived many ways.
Any strain review that contains a description of the "type" of trip (body high, visual high, etc) and a description of relative potency of the strain makes me heavily doubt its description of the potency. In other words, most of the talk about strain potency out there is made ridiculously useless by the fact that the same people making statements about it are also making statements about something that's scientifically null--so why should we believe them?
Despite this, that strain potency CAN vary is probable, though I do think it's to a smaller degree than most would think.

Depends on how long they are left out to dry, I'd say. Ever had medicine that comes in a stained bottle? Ever notice that alcohol comes in clear bottles, but peroxide comes in opaque ones? Stuff does break down somewhat faster in the light, but in the case of shrooms I don't think it's a really significant factor. I think the tripping environment and physiological resistance of the tripper is a million times more significant.
