Increasing the potency/strength of a mushroom trip?

Hello all, I've been registered for a bit now but just now decided to make a topic. I'll be tripping for the first time on shrooms tomorrow, is there anyway to increase the effect? The reason being that I don't have many shrooms, at least it seems like it - I have only 2 caps and like 6 stems. I heard something about Vitamin C...? Also, I've read that if you grind them up you trip harder, and the same about making them into tea. Suggestions?

Don't eat the day of your trip. That's usually the case. Some people like to make tea or mix it with lemon juice and make a shot. Some claim it's more potent, some don't. But your best bet really is fasting, then eat that shit. Vitamin C is a myth, but you can try it. Really, if your mushrooms are from a good source, and you're eating at least 2 grams you should be good.
I'm sure you'll have a good trip, if you're in a good place with good people.

if i plan to trip the next day around 5pm,i only have a light meal the night before then nothing the next day,only water/coffee (no milk).
It seriously makes a huge difference,and the hunger soon disappears when u start to trip.Also remember stay away from dairy products before/during trip.
Enjoy!

By all accounts, soaking them in lemon juice increases intensity (but decreases duration).
Search for "lemon juice and mushrooms" for more info.

Actually it's not necessary for you to not eat at all that day. It's just that your stomach should be empty. Depending on when you get up in the morning it's completely OK to have a normal breakfast (let's say at 10am). You shouldn't eat at least five to six hours before the trip to get as much as possible. Not eating anything for like 18 hours only makes you feel VERY uncomfortable and after half of the trip you probably just think about food and eating anyway.

Yeah, WhiskeyClone, I just found that big thread titles The Lemon Experience. Thanks, though! And Fahkface, I'll keep that in mind. I probably wouldn't be able to resist a small bit or something on that day anyway.

would a piece of toast and honey and a coffee 30 mins before dosing reduce effects much?

Hey, if the placebo works, then fuckit. 
I suggest not trying to enhance your trip if it's only your first time, go easy so you know what to expect, then next time you can try and adjust your dose accordingly.
I'd say the best way to increase the potency is to fast the day leading up to your trip, or at least eat lightly.. maybe get some exercise or spend some time in nature. Once you are tripping, you can turn the lights and music off and curl up in your bed in total darkness. That should perpetuate your trip rather well. For better or for worse, is up to you.

No... I think the effects of food on potency are greatly exaggerated. I once had two huge burritos, then a gram of mushrooms immediately, then fell asleep. I woke up tripping my ass off.

Yeah I don't think the eating thing makes a big difference, might take longer for the trip to hit you on a full stomach but it will hit you. Want to really increase the effects eat them straight and at the peak of the trip smoke some bud. Bud always increases my trip if I smoke it when I am peaking or after. Nos will also make it more intense. No heavy downers, pills will fuck it up. measure out your dosage and if it so 2 grams or more you are going to feel it.
