I have a friend that has been getting shrooms but they don't kick in for him, and when they do it's very weak. He has tried eating them, putting them underneath his tongue and grinding them up and making tea. He has had this issue in the past too, watching his friends trip heavily while he feels almost nothing. The first time he tripped was perfect and very memorable but now they don't seem to register in his system. They have been taken on empty stomach as well as not so empty. He told me the craziest thing happened the other day where he ate them and felt nothing until he had to rush to the bathroom with diarrhea and when he finished he actually started tripping which is very weird. Is there anything he can do to actually absorb the shrooms properly? Please help.
 
Eat more shrooms.

Taking a shit can't make mushrooms kick in can it. Think about it. It's not magic - it goes into your stomach, the digestion process begins and you get high. If your mate is a human then that's what happens. Anything else is just horseshit.

how much are they consuming?

2 grams at a time. but he has taken an 1/8 with a firnd and while his friend was losing himself in the wonderland of his mind, he felt almost nothing. at the end of the day i feel i know exactly what the problem is. his body just doesnt absorb the shrooms and passes through his body which also means he is probably deficient of many vitamins as well. sometimes it kicks in wonderfully but sometimes it only makes colors appear brighter. he has taken 5 grams before and only felt mildly giggly and smiling. no visuals or mental play. he has tripped heavily before and had both good trips and bad trips with them but his stomach just decides whether or not the trip will commence. he's never been ripped off because everytime he has taken them he has felt its presence lingering but it just wont push through.

standard dose of p. cubensis is 3.5 g (although some are stronger than others, from what i understand).

maybe have them try adding a gram and another gram etc... and waiting two weeks between until they find their dosage?

what he does is he takes 2 grams at first, and then every hour he will take another. thats usually how it goes, but ill pass that on.
 
i'm not sure if adding more in the same trip will work, but years ago i wasted a good batch of cactus tea trying to redose after the mushrooms were not strong enough.

general rule of thumb for most psychedelics is to wait at least a week, better two.

If he is enough of a hardhead that he is consistently finding 2g to barely affect him, then he needs to start with a larger dose. Redosing psychedelics won't do much more than waste them, he'll have to take huge redoses for them to do anything. Also, make sure that he waits 1.5-2 weeks minimum between trips so that tolerance resets.
 
Well dependent on how important this issue is and whether or not this is a REALLY good friend...

You could always go from the sublime to the ridiculous and extract the Psilocybin from the mushrooms:

Technical Procedure for Extractions and Separations

Lemme do something useful around here and more on topic than fucking COVID! Figured this may be of SOME use to somebody. As I noted in one of the other forums (STH) not too long ago: LE one of the best sources of information. 🙏...

See notes 4.12.4 and 4.12.5 in the downloadable document. Overkill? Probably.
 
Recently I've had the same problem, though there seems to be an explanation. I've taken shrooms that were growing on fresh cowshit in my garden, Pan cyans which are notoriously very strong and twice I ate two grams dry weight with zero effects. A third time I thought, well, maybe leaving them to dry too long (a month) had depleted them, so I ate a fucking handful and immediately regretted it, "Oh god what if they kick in?! Oh woesy wowsy woowoo!" And then nothing happened. So after an hour I ate another handful, finished the whole fucking bag dood, my mouth and teeth were all purple and blue and...at last started coming up and bit later the room turned sort of purplish and I got pretty happy and giggly and that was it, until I went to switch the light off and go to bed and there on the lightswitch panel, covering the whole of it, was what looked like a big crudely drawn in yellow crayon retarded hieroglyph of some sort, a sort of kidnergartner's idea of cuneiform or something. "Wow! Thats amazing!" I exclaimed, "Its not even swimming around either and looks fully real but no way, I look at that light switch several times a day and for years and that is not there." I stood there watching it for awhile to see if it disappeared or changed and it didn't. After ten minutes I got exhausted and left the yellow glyph to have its druthers while i slept. And of course the next morning it was gone. . These were no doubt Pan cyans, so that really does leave my retarded drying process as the likely culprit but i really wonder what the hell, is it what wifi has done to my brain that I got almost nothing out of about 150 Pan cyans? Strange days, indeed.

My first thoughts.. followed by taking a low dose to start with then not double the doses after the first hour.

With any psychedelic.. if u plan to redose within 1 to 3 days of your last trip i would dose 1.5 -2x what u dosed prior otherwise your wasting it. 45 to 60 mins after dosing tolerance sky rockets
 
He should really try lemontek, if i eat shrooms straight up its usually hit or miss.
But if you cut em up real fine and soak in lemon juice before.
That will help with absorption and make em a bit stronger but shorter in effects.

Lately ive been doing a shot of tequila or vodka after eating the shrooms.
Helps with the vaso issues and i think it also helps with absorption of the actives.

And get enough mushrooms to try different doses.
Some people need +3g to feel much at all.
Others get overwhelmed by 1,5g.
