Best way to take shrooms

Thanks for the elucidation. :)

I'm highly sceptical of this. I always boil my water to make my mushroom tea with no loss of potency.

Where are you guys reading this?

IDK when I was growing/drying mass mushrooms everything I read said keep the temp below 180f when drying whatever you do. Never saw any proof, but I took their word for it. My mushrooms were always potent as shit, especially the strains I was growing. So ultimately speculation from me.
 
I have never tried this myself and I don't know how quickly the molecules are destroyed. I'm basing this off of anecdotal reports of week tea made from decent quality mushrooms and that the psychoactive components of mushrooms are not nearly as stable as something like ethanol, which was mentioned earlier. Also based on the well known phenomenon of improper storage of mushrooms leading to significant reduction of potency.

Just because a substance boils at a certain temperature does not mean it is stable up until that point. So I personally wouldn't attempt tea until I did more research when I can get nearly identical effects from finely grinding up the mushrooms and mixing them into an uncooked beverage.
 
So I did honey I cut up five stems because last time I did less and didn't get high really and this time I have a lot of advantages such as I take pain pills and I have weed. My last time involved meth and was over a year ago I was sick all day. So anyways this time I cut them up best I could dropped them in a microwave safe cup, poured hot water on them let them mix for 15min and I just took them. I'm watching star wars attack of the clones it's a Saturday in about to smoke weed my only worry is if I don't get high enough can I redose and let's say a hour?

I just Google anything. I Google mushroom tea ignore the adds and found a receipe I liked only the one I found needs ginger so I lacking any ginger I just left it out. I apologize for my spelling and grammar but I'm using a cell phone.
 
To be fair the last time I had tea, it was someone else's mushrooms, he was brewing it and he had a lot to spare so preserving potency wasn't his highest priority.

If I only had 1g on hand to eat, I'd probably just eat it. But we were doing 5g (I guess less if he overheated it). I still had 3 hours of nausea :p
 
@xxsicknessxx How is the trip?

If we're going anecdotally then I'm anecdotally telling all of you fine people that I have never experienced loss of potency from brewing mushroom tea, basing on my usual response to P. cubensis strains.

I guess, if loss of potency is a worry then do 'er up differently, but I love black tea in general so adding mushrooms to it is a natural fit.

Still think you guys are tripping about the loss of potency. Never heard of it. ;)

Heat makes the alkaloids unstable but so does putting them in acidic environments or in solution. I think the worry with storage/drying at higher heat was that it's a longer process and therefore detrimental to the viability of the alkaloids. Brewing tea isn't the same as them becoming unstable momentarily is not detrimental in the same way.

For example, lemon tek works because psilocybin converts to psilocin in acidic environments which allows more psilocin to be bioavailable by skipping that particular metabolic step. Psilocin is, on the other hand unstable in solution so doesn't last long. I learnt this through my Mushroom Kombucha experiments which we have a thread about in Psychedelic Drugs.

I think you guys are worried about the wrong thing. Tea is fine, longer term heat is not.

It's probably me just being paranoid. I just don't like to risk things on the unknown when there is a proven way. That being said, I would like to attempt mushroom tea and still have 2.5g's in storage.
 
My eyes are too blurry to reply but when they get back to normal I'll give a proper update. Is that normal with shrooms? I mean I wear glasses but I can't read my phones screen atm. The blurry vision I mean is that normal.
 
The good thing is I have plenty left. 1/4th the dosage is key. But I can't keep a strait face right now with anyone... I guess I got to wait it out. Im good. I really learned a lot for the first time from this trip. But I feel better now, getting better as the night goes on. But yea I think I did way too much with my tea.
 
Thanks I feel better knowing that. Yea I promise I'll post something more this this once they don't hurt so much. I also tried to close my eyes at one point and I lost touch with reality for sure. But I'm high now. So that's good. Yea I planned today all wrong. Need to measure next time.
 
Shit, I always just eye out my mushrooms for my pot of tea. But then again, that's the beauty of tea....you titrate up as you go through the pot, one cup at a time. :)

Not gonna lie.....lately, we've always been finding tea left over in the pot the next morning! :LOL:
 
At one point I was great, like I rolled into my bed and I felt so good and so warm and my house was like something out of Alice in wonder land. However I got a stomach acne at the start and I won't lie I was to scared to use the bathroom, I didn't think I could handle it plus on accident forgetting I took a ativan that morning because my sleeps terrible right now and I took another which further impaired me so I closed my eyes and that's when I really started tripping abs the stomach ake did ruin it. There is a lot I need to reflect on and knowing what happened next time I will plan ahead. Yikes I really got scared for a moment there I just didn't expect it to be so strong. I'm feeling better today but yea just gotta think this one out more also I live with my parents so that adds a layer of complication to it. Thanks for reading. I might add more as I rermenter more. If I could repeat the good moments I'll do it again for sure.
 
If you measure out your doses their strength will take you less by surprise 🙂 glad you're in one piece. You could try ginger or something for the nausea.
