Hey all, i recently got 3.5g of some psilocybin mushrooms texas and i wanted to split it in half with a lady friend of mine. I thought 1.75g would be kind of weak so I was thinking of making it into lemon tek for us. Neither of us have done shrooms before, but we have done 2c-e. I've done up to 35mg orally and she's done 25mg orally. I know you can't really compare shrooms and 2c-e. I just wanted to point out that we both have done psychedelics before. Would 1.75g of lemon tek be too much?
 
i dont really think the lemon tek can really potentiate mushrooms that much, maybe just decrease the comeup time and "concentrate" the experience a bit, at least acoording to others (it doesnt work on me that well... maybe im not using the proper technique... but i get the impression thats the general concensus, so basically 1g oral is maybe a bit less intense than 1g with lemon, but not by much)

if they are good shrooms, then 1,75g would be enough and a pleasant not overwhelming ride for the person without any tolerance.... in fact, it is around this dose that people start off with mushrooms, enough to give a taste of their awesomeness but not enough to really endanger the psyche (unless theres some personal sensitivity ofc).

i think you are on the right track here. good luck!
 
1.75g, even "concentrated" by the lemon juice will be easily handled by you two. Be aware that the total duration for mushrooms is about 4-6 hours, compared to the all-nighter that 2C-E can bring about.
 
I do 5+ grams of shrooms lemon tek'd, the once or twice a year I do shrooms anyway. And I'm not a super experienced tripper, only been into it all for about 2 years. People will always act like I'm insane for recommending 5g....but once you try it....Jesus. The secret though is being in a completely dark room preferably with a blindfold on. All the magic of shrooms happens in your mind, behind closed eyes.

Anyway you should be totally fine with that dose. Grind the shrooms to a powder if you can in a coffee grinder, then cover it with lemon juice and stir periodically for about 30 mins.
 
TBH I tried the lemon tek and it felt weaker to me than a normal dose. Maybe I did it incorrectly, but it really didn't make much of a difference.
 
Some people say the enzymes of lemon juice help break down the mushroom matter faster than your stomach can do it alone. Other people say a megadose of vitamin C can stimulate the digestion and help clear the body of toxins, and thus might bring a swifter end to a trip.

Honestly my position is if you like lemon, go ahead and use lemon tek every time you do shrooms. If you hate lemon, then feel free to avoid it for the rest of your life! The main thing is shrooms will hit harder if they are powdered immediately before consumption. Storing shroom powder is a surefire way to degrade its potency.
 
I'd personally take 2.5-3.0g but shrooms are my shit. I'd imagine that would be rather intense. I'd reccomend 1.5-2g for your first time if you do lemon tek, but for a first timer I would reccomend just eating 3-3.5g if you think you can handle it due to the duration. The first time I ever tripped was 3.5g cubes with a hit of acid and it was the best night of my life, 50 trips later.
 
1.75g of mushrooms is pretty weak... I took 2.5g my first time with mushrooms, and would recommend 2.5-3g to others.

Actually the ascorbic acid in the lemon juice converts the psilocybin to psilocin before it ever enters your stomach, preparing it for immediate delivery to the brain

There's no evidence for this. Psilocybin is broken down by enzymes in the liver.

The placebo effect may make the lemon-tek feel stronger but I'd take as many mushrooms as you would have done normally. Don't depend on lemons making them twice as strong - you're being sold a lemon.
 
This might be where im going wrong as everytime ive done shrooms/truffles ive been in a light room and had no visuals other than a slight bit of movement on walls/patterns n things but never actually tripped out like I have on ketamine for example.

I dosed 3 bags of tempanesis aswell and wasnt even tripping that much just spaced out, definatly going to have to try shrooms in the dark.
 
There is one popular site devoted mostly to shrooms that has a "trip calculator". input your weight, desired level of your trip and what specific shroom you have. I can't remember if it calculates combined dosages or not

Since I can't yet post an URL, and I'm not 100% sure if plugging other sites is allowed or not, the only additional info I'll post is try searching "shroome". I Will post the relevant info, if a mod approves.
 
i think its fine to post common knowledge sites here, they are being cited all over the place anyway. erowid has a dose calculator too IIRC. the interdicition to link posting reffers mostly to sources.

edit: just dont over rely on these calculators, as they also depend on your subjective ability to judge the mushrooms' potency. which, if this is your first time, will be impossible to do.

so i still stand by my opinion that 1,75g of dried cubensis mushrooms, with or without lemon tek, has litle chance of overwhelming someone experienced with >20mg/dose 2CE.
 
I've had an uncontrollable (bad)trip once on only 1,2 - 1,3 grams of dried cubensis. Ingested in tea without lemon, with plenty experience.

If I were you, which I'm not ;) , I would start low anyway. You can always redose.

Please tell us how it went :)

I dont see how people can recommend dosages of mushrooms. There are SO MANY factors that come into play with mushrooms. Ive taken 3.5 gs and had a very visual experience but hardly a brain fuck at all. Then ive takin 2 grams of some different shrooms and had FULL ON visuals and my mind was running at a very fast pace and i was simply overcome with emotion.

You have the shrooms and you know yourself better than any of us. What i always do is eat a gram for a little test ride first and see what their all about and then go ahead and choose my dose from there. I would never take advice from someone over the internet who does not know me, my personality or my shrooms.
 
rule of thumb is the more blue the better and despite many people saying eat the caps ,there wrong the stems are more potent ,,,so if you have at least 1 and a half gs of blue stems thats more than enough to get you off pretty good ,,i had mexican shrooms once that were all blue and taking a gram was almost like taking a hit of acid,,,all the vissuals and everything,,so basically it depends on how good yer shrooms are if theres alot of blue then there good and you should have a good time just eat m up ,,or ya can also simmer them in a tea pot for awhile then add tea bags to kill the gross flavour and split the tea evenly with yer gf and drink up,,dont ferget to eat the pulp thats left over also so ya dont waste any,,,good trippin to ya have fun,,,,
