Advice on challenging mushroom trips please

[yatyas314]

Ive been thinking of making tea as I get acid indigestion from lemon tek. Ive read alot of different opinions and watched a number of youtube videos etc on brew time and tempreture. What temp do you brew at and how long? Thanks.

I grind up all the fruit into powder with batches in a coffee grinder. Bring the water to a boil usually 2.5 cups for 14 grams of powder, you can adjust accordingly. I also tear open two bags of hibiscus tea and add them to the powder and when you have a rolling boil turn off the flame add the powder stir it in and occasionally for 10 minutes then over to the chemex setup for a filter leaving me with a beautiful blue hued tea that I flavor with honey. Chug and in ~30 minutes onset.

That is a serious high number of a dose, do you feel more panicky and have challenging trips the higher the dosage or with those numbers you dont as much as you lose your ego?

No, not like I experience with DMT but always some apprehension as I set my intentions for the session. I personally have found that Psilo is akin to a workshop and DMT is more like prayer.
As for challenging I have not experienced a dose dependant correlation. I would say that at the higher doses its really almost hard to recall at the peak.
I also can't emphasise this enough that I had a wonderful mentor in this space and she guided me into doses like that. I honestly would start around 5 again and work up from there so much changes in your body over the years I would need to adjust accordingly to try those again.

Its really interesting that cubes are not as pleasant, i wonder why cubes are that way and other non cubes aren't.

It's good to hear the mental health benefits could be even more, ive got a while with cubes and then will certainly look into other variations.

You have opened my eyes and I am grateful for that, thanks.

There is quite a lot of various species there, but of course, it depends mostly on what is available to you. Home grown subtropicalis would be my recommendation, if no outdoor wild shrooms are available.

As science about mushrooms is not so developed and differencies are not well understood, my speculation is that it's some very minor component in cubes that causes specific receptor modulation effects.
