strange: mushrooms losing psilocybin-suddenly

[aryaman]

well,i know,is not strange that mushrooms can lose psilo.But listen.

I've got some bulked cubensis ecuador and some koh samui.Is one month i've got them,keeping them in a box.

last sunday i went for a trip, I took about 2 gr. of ecuador,and ok,me and the other traveller were fine.as i expected.

today, 7 days later, i went for another trip.I took 2.5 gr of ecuador,my girlfriend too,but...nothing,really little.waited for an hour,and still veery little.
Alright,so i take out koh samui,took 2.5 per persona(i was a bit scared too,i usually don't take much and in only one day 5 grams..)
and
little more
but still little,like if i just took 1 gr or something!


I can't explain it to me. Ideas?
we both eated different things,in different time,no other drugs,nothing.
:?


greetings guys,

Tolerance could be an issue. I suggest this. Wait a month, and then consume 5 grams dried. Tell me if they have lost potency.. .

If tolerance was not the case, how did you dry them? How are they stored? Where are they stored. What temperature are they stored at? What flush are the mushrooms from? Did you harvest them right when the cap broke away from the veil? Sometimes if you let mushrooms grow to big, they only get bigger, not producing anymore psilocybin. You have to make sure you harvest them right after the cap breaks away from the veil, or else you are only adding weight to the mushrooms, and the psilocybin levels are staying the same. Flushes also have a effect on the potency of the mushrooms. By the way I am assuming you have grown them, as you know the exact strand. If not, you may want to ask who ever grown the mushrooms some of these questions. Hopefully this helps. Anyways,

peace & love

so...i don't think is a tolerance case,'cause i took last week but usually i take them every 2 months,and my girfriend only took once an year ago.

they were dried just in a dark place,but without chimical staff,and they were stored in a jar of...something like carton-alluminium,closed.a temperature around 25 degrees,i don't think is so hot.

I think they fruit well, last week they were perfect and the Ecuador were made in a bulk substrate-with cow poo-,big ones. koh samui in a casing mix vermiculite coco coir.


so,so strange

You could have tolerance from the trip last week.

If your shrooms are properly dried, you better keep them airtight in the fridge.

One other thing with low dose mushroom trips is that you can think yourself out of it. So you think "this is not working, this is not working" and it doesn't work because you stop it by thinking it is not.

user_1919 was talking about short term tolerance i guess (since long term tolerance for psychedelics doesn't exist to my knowledge).

In other words, you should have waited more than a week to trip again.

 

[aryaman]

don't think is tolerance,as i said,my girlfriend wasn't taking from 1 year,and had the same reaction.
for me can be,for her...no,at all.

fork,thanks for replayng.I like low dose trips, and you're right,i should put them in the fridge...is a mistake i've made,still i can't think that in just 1 week they lost so much psilocybin.
I'll follow your advice.

man i had that trip to many times to count it depends on to much variables

first off a week is just the right amount of time for you to clean up (after a small dose).

don't get me wrong a week dosent get you to 0% tolerance but you will go through a 99% strength trip

they might have lost their potency in the heat or other factors like oxidation

or they might have been bad from day one i dont know all i know is that when i take shrooms if i take again 2 - 5 days after a trip the next one is allways so so or worse but after a week usually it feels just fine again (2 weeks is overkill)
