Well, the title mostly says it but Ill explain...
As some of you are probably aware or have even experienced, sometimes 4-aco batchs can change color in consistency over time, however maintaining potency which is a curious phenomena and probably has to do with it degrading into psilocin unless I am mistaken. It can even go from an all white/slightly grayish powder all the way to a clumpy brown-sugar-consistency with a dark brown color. Now assume that this is its transition into psilocin (even though that may not be the case); normally degradation of a drug would be a bad thing but upon trying out my batch after its color had changed I found the effects were definitely more pronounced and that it was also roughly 10-15% more potent. In addition the visuals themselves were more rainbow than 4-aco usually accomplishes. Interestingly too, upon relieving a new batch, it came in already brown and clumpy and the differences between that and normal 4-aco powder were consistent with the presumably degraded batch...
Now both these batches are gone and it was sad to see them go because my new batch that came in is the normal powder which is still great to use but not quite on the level of the brown stuff, however it has also begun to slowly turn brownish and clump together but is doing it very slowly. What I am curious of is if whatever reaction going on can actually be encouraged and sped up without destroying anything in the bag. Im sure in time itll become what I want, but whos to say it wont get eaten by then =p
Anyway just let me know what you guys think or if you have had similar experiences and actually like the brown more.
Also, a side note; shouldnt this also occur on any 4-aco-tryp? take 4-aco-met for example; theres not much if any steric protection around the 4 position on the indole and if the presumed degredation really is conversion to a hydroxy group, then why wouldnt it happen on anything else with the 4-sub?
