Potency changes with different methods of ingestion?

Hey everyone, I've done shrooms a bunch of times now and have officially labelled them one of my favourite trips. I was a bit curious however if the effects are heightened\lessed by different methods of taking them. I've only ever eaten them, so what would I find different if I cooked with them, made tea with them, or anything else? Any info is welcome!

 

I don't believe the potency itself would be heightened or lessened by ingesting the shrooms with tea, for instance. It will surely make the trip kick in alot faster because the shrooms are already completely broken down - which, I suppose, may make the first couple phases of your trip more intense than they would be upon simply eating them.

Overall I don't think it changes the strength all that much, but the duration.

I could be wrong, I'm speculating and am no where near a mushroom authority. =P

 

I would have to agree with that. I have tried pretty much all of the reasonable methods of heightening a mushroom trip, and they haven't changed anything to do with potency... They have, however, decreased the onset time... I have heard rumours that MAOI inhibitors increase the effects of trips, but I wouldn't screw around with those!

 

Orange juice, or more accurately the vitamin C amplifies the effect of trips. Does for me, does for people I've tripped with or asked.

 

that is only because you think it will.

 

What makes you so sure?

 

Even if it's all in your head, that is what a trip basicly is, all in your head. So who cares? If it works then it works.

You said that your an experanced tripper, if that is so just try different waying of eatting them and share your findings with us. May i suggest pizza as it's yummy and good.

The acid in the orange juice breaks the spores down faster so it hits you harder and quicker with a slightly shorter duration. You usually only loose 10% of your duration but the harder trip is worth it.

 

I have enjoyed mushrooms for years. i live in the south and access to them is never a problem- unless there's a drought. I have found that i get the best high by simmering them in two quarts of water. After thirty minutes the active bacteria are destroyed and after forty minutes, the inactive bacteria have been eradicated. I add a couple cups of sugar and some Kool Aid to the broth, reserving the mushrooms to go into a spaghetti sauce or pizza topping later on. There are so many variants in preparing a pitcher, i can state finitely how many I cook at a time or half-life time tables- but I have never had any trip that wasn't excellent. My sides have been sore from laughing the next day, but that was the only side effect I can list, save the tendency to be nauseated initiated, which passes quickly.

 

common knowledge for me is is eat em paired with OJ and preferrably like fresh...not like dried out or anything like that.

after that it all breaks down in how you want to ingest it.
a lot of my good friends who are quite fond of shrooms have invested in a community blender for the group....so you blend the shrooms and mix it in the drink...it may be less effficent than other methods though just due to the blade possibly retained a miniscule amount of spores....but that's why if you make the magic oj...or hell whateve r you like....a smoothie all i care....just make sure you put a lot of the special fungal ingredient inside to guaruntee potency.....i bet you could figure out mixing a certain quantity with a set amount of liquid would possibly even out the potency through out the mix....but i am stupid when it comes to overly special food/drink preparation in most cases.

past that everyone i've know around the same method as sandandfoam^ does give or take some ingredients and what the shrooms are consumed with.

i've heard a lot of good things about magic brownies so i guess i will just fabricate a similar saying....just like if god gives you lemons make lemonade(hash brownies to put it bluntly....if god gives you limes(obviously the shroomery but i feel compelled to put this) make limeade....or even better make sprite! lemon and lime combine on squeezes you and makes you "sour" and one burns and makes you "lax"

 

Lol @ that analogy =P

 

i also forgot to throw some special tonic in the mix....but mixing 3 different substances seems like a bad idea...and well i wasn't exactly thinking of alchohol as the special beverage...not ether either.

i think actually once i try shrooms i might try to get a hold of some ayuhasca and brew it and try it by itself
and then if i decide that i can handle it i will mix that....just cause well it's a lot more natural than mixing shrooms with fucking e
