Did you know that Lemon Tek is becoming increasingly popular in the world of magic mushrooms? The great advantage of Lemon Tek is that, on the one hand, it reduces the chance of nausea and, on the other hand, makes the trip shorter but more intense. In this blog you will read how to make Lemon Tek and the benefits of drinking this magical drink.
The secret of Lemon Tek
You can take magic mushrooms in different ways: fresh, dried, incorporated into a meal, as well as as a drink, for example, magic mushroom tea. But one of the most effective ways is Lemon Tek. The secret to Lemon Tek is lemon juice. Why combine shrooms with lemon juice? The advantage lies in the special properties of this citrus fruit.
If you soak mushrooms in the juice of a lemon, the lemon acids cause a chemical reaction, breaking down some of the chitin in the mushrooms. These substances are often responsible for the well-known nausea you may suffer from when taking magic mushrooms. But the faster breakdown also makes for a more pronounced trip. When you take Lemon Tek with magic mushrooms, you don’t experience as much nausea and you get a shorter but intense trip experience.
The mind-altering effects come on more quickly, are intense, but are also over more quickly. Usually the effects come on within 15 to 45 minutes and subside by an hour or two. So it is important to ask yourself beforehand if that is what you are looking for.
Lemon Tek users report that the trip has fewer physical effects and takes place more in the mind. There are more visual effects and profound spiritual experiences. Afterwards, there is less physical exhaustion. It is also claimed that shrooms can feel about 1.5 to 2 times as strong, compared to when you take shrooms without Lemon Tek.
Why does Lemon Tek cause these effects?
Opinions differ as to why Lemon Tek with magic mushrooms causes these effects. Lemon juice is known to have a pH similar to stomach acid. The pH of lemon juice averages 2 to 3 and that of stomach acid is 1 to 3. Under such acidic conditions, dephosphorylation of enzymes in the mushrooms takes place.
It is thought that the juices already start breaking down the magic mushrooms so that your digestive system doesn’t have to do that anymore. As a result, psilocybin has already been converted into psilocin, allowing you to notice the psychoactive effects faster when you drink the Lemon Tek.
How do you make Lemon Tek with shrooms?
Because the effects are about 1.5 to 2 times as strong when you drink Lemon Tek mushrooms, you use an average of half your normal dose for this drink. If you want to make Lemon Tek, find the instructions below. You’ll need this:
- 1 to 2 lemons
- Mushrooms (fresh or dried, half your normal dose)
- A grinder or coffee grinder
- Orange juicer
Grind the mushrooms into a fine powder and put it in a small glass. Squeeze the lemons with the orange press or do it by hand and pour the juice into the glass with the powder. Make sure you have enough juice so that all the powder is incorporated into it. Stir it well. Allow the Lemon Tek to infuse for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can strain or filter the Lemon Tek afterwards so you can extract larger pieces of mushroom. Drink the Lemon Tek in one sitting.
Can you use other citrus fruits?
Then there is the question of whether it is possible to use fruit other than lemons to make Lemon Tek for shrooms. This is possible, but you have to be careful which one you choose. Limes also have low acidity, with a pH of 2 to 2.6. But oranges, on the other hand, do not work as well, as does pineapple. These fruits have a pH of 3.2 to 4.3 making them less acidic than stomach acid.
To make a good Lemon Tek, the juice should have a lower pH. What you may still be able to use as an alternative to lemon juice is pomegranate juice, balsamic vinegar and cheap red wine. There are those who report that this made them a good version of Lemon Tek.
Is Lemon Tek something for you?
If you take shrooms with Lemon Tek you will get a faster and more intense trip. Not everyone is convinced that is the best option. It depends on whether that’s something for you, on your preferences, timing and experience. Do you prefer an efficient, super concentrated experience or a longer trip where the intensity gradually increases and decreases.
In general, Lemon Tek is recommended if you already have a little more experience with tripping, because the effects are a lot more intense. If you haven’t tripped very often, it can be too abrupt and intense. It is then better to go for the normal trip so that you can integrate your experiences better. Lemon Tek may be a good option for you if you have a sensitive stomach, though, because there is much less chance of nausea.
