I recall reading on another forum that taking a base (baking soda in that case) with a psychedelic can apparently strengthen the trip, this interested me because I seem to have an inherent high tolerance to these drugs.
I was considering taking some calcium carbonate (Tums) with my next 4-Aco-DMT dose to try this out; however, I've also heard of taking mushrooms with lemon juice to strengthen them (supposedly having a higher stomach pH increasing absorption). That's more widely documented, so it seemed to me that taking a base might have the opposite effect of weakening the trip by lowering pH. I'm curious if anyone can shed any light on either of these ideas, I'd be interested to know the mechanism of action for the shroom "lemon tek".
