Made tea first time now. 250 ml water that I heated to 70˚C, added 15g dried mushrooms, turned off heat, macerated for 20 minutes under lid, then the temperature had dropped to 48˚C. I got 160 ml without squeezing, 190 ml squeezing. The mushrooms really got very little aroma left in them, the macera...

BTW videos like this is not good, because it is a step closer to get the mushroom to be illegal. To me it would be a disaster, because I get so much help and hope from it. I use it as medicine where healthcare can’t help. I don’t use it for tripping.

I agree about that 1 teaspoon being a good unit. My experience is that it is not possible to find the dose by take another teaspoon at same event. You take one dose and wait for the full effect, which can take up to 4-5 hours.If it is not to your satisfaction, wait a couple of days to try next level...

That is what I would call a hero dose. Stay away from that. It takes a long time before the trip sets in. It was good that I had read a lot before so when I realized I had hit hero dose, I knew what to expect. I got one by accident, it was way stronger than the muscaria I had experience with. My rep...

I find that I function ok during macrodose. I get affected but not silly like with alcohol. Microdose is simply when you don’t feel affected by the senses. You just feel calm or elevated mood. Macrodose you start to feel dizzy and affected, kind if drunk. But I can still function and do things and t...

The tinctures I have bought are 7-10 g per 100 ml. Microdose varies a lot depending on person and batch. You need to calibrate on the batch used. Amanitadreamer describes how to do this. I find using teaspoon measure for testing a 10g/100ml tincture good, but my dose is more in to macro region. Be c...

You need to study this further. Read more. Drying as decarboxylation method is ended when the mushroom is dry, as I understand it. Further heat will probably just destroy the components. .25g can be a good microdose. Or not. It varies depending on person and batch of mushrooms. You need to find your...

I have read amanitadreamer write about this earlier. It is too late, as I understand it. You need to use other method for further decarboxylation.

Thanks for the report! I have used low decarb tincture (caps dried at 40˚C and then cold extracted in alcohol). I can relate to the energy and also the anger, the latter not unmotivated though, no false demons like alcohol.I got bad stomach though and want rest, so now I decarb the tincture. Keep re...

I can not give advice in your case, but write mine in case it is helpful. I use low decarb tincture, that it shows I can not tolerate. I tried lemon tek, that did not work. Yoghurt seems unnecessarily complicated to me. We have a tradition where I live to make sour milk. So inspired by ”soma” I mixe...
