Lemon Tek is a technique for preparing psilocybin mushrooms using citric acid from lemon juice, which speeds up the conversion of psilocybin to psilocin, the active compound. This method is believed to lead to a faster onset and more intense effects compared to traditional ingestion methods. Although the exact origin of Lemon Tek is unclear, it has gained popularity in online communities.
An additional plus of the method is the reduction of possible gastric revolutions, by residual dissolution of the chitin walls in the fungus.
Fresh or dried psilocybin mushrooms
Freshly squeezed lemon (or lime) juice
Water
Coffee grinder or blender (for dried mushrooms)
Small bowl or jar
Spoon
Maceration: Place mushroom powder in a bowl and pour lemon juice over it.
Waiting: Let the mixture sit for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Dilution: Add a small amount of water to the mixture to soften the intense taste of lemon.
Consumption: Drink the mixture, including the mushroom sludge.
The dosage of Lemon Tek requires caution due to its increased intensity:
Microdosing (0.1-0.5g dried): Start with 0.05-0.2g.
Low dose (0.5-2g dried): Use 0.25-1.5g.
Medium dose (2-3.5g dried): Use 1.5-2.5g.
High dose (3.5-5g dried): Use 2.5-4g.
Very high dose (more than 5g dried): Do not exceed 4g.
Faster onset of action.
A more intense and potentially shorter experience.
Reduced nausea in some users.
The increased intensity can be overwhelming.
Difficulty in precise dosage.
No extensive scientific research on the method.
Lemon Tek offers a unique and potentially more potent experience with psilocybin mushrooms. Users are advised to start with lower doses and have a companion in a sober state for safety. This method requires respect and careful preparation to ensure a positive and safe psychedelic experience.
