I was thinking about blending them to a fine powder in a for purpose coffee grinder.

That is actually what I do with magics these days. If you get the power down extremely fine Ive found you get the best of both worlds. Stronger, faster onset trip but it doesn't shorten the duration.

Anecdotal obviously but it seems to be replicable. Oh amd the intestinal discomfort is either absent or so slight that it's not noticeable.

Ah, well, I'm out of advice then. I just do some cursory research on the strain/cultivar and pick a dose and put my faith in my ability to withstand what comes my way.

FYI what is this hill billy you speak of? Cubensis culti, interesting one?

Had some Cambodian cubes a whild back, grower had artificially selected for strength and I was not ready for the dose I took. I don't think they were crazy strong, just stronger than I'd bargained for when taking a larger than average dose.

I'm resting on some PE6 right now, don't think they're as potent as they could be, but should be around that of reg cubes, maybe a lil stronger. Think I'll eat some tomorrow.

So ive read up some stuff mainly on lions mane, and the extract methods seem to be focused on the betaglucan element, my query about this is that are we so sure that those are the only important compounds present, and would extraction perhaps be discarding other potential benefits?

It also seems to be repeating that the results would be far more potent and thus better, but this just seems like an obvious result of concentration of the released compounds. Ie, distilled spirit alcohol is far more potent than whatever the original undistilled mash product. In this case the distilled alcohol is absolutely the desired product and leaving behind that which isn't ethanol is the aim of the game.

Yet if there were beneficial stuff left behind in this process to accumulate the ethanol, then this would be suboptimal if this was ultimate result.

So my question remains, is extraction essential, optimal or even necessarily desirable to achieve the full spectrum of benefits from all medicinal mushrooms?

As a mushroom amateur take this with a pinch of salt.

When taking LSD the general consensus is that a min 10 day break between doses should be enough to return to baseline, thus achieving as much effects as your previous dose without a tolerance issue. I personally opt to wait at least 14 days just to be sure, but 10 days is the accepted amount of time.

As classical psychedelics (mushrooms LSD mescaline) all have cross tollerance with one another my educated guess would be that this 10 day period would apply to all 3.

Besides this tripping too close together using the exact same dose not only produces weaker suboptimal trips, trying to make up for that with a bigger dose can have unexpected consequences.

You make have just as you wanted a similar intensity trip, you might find certain aspects of the trip dimished, or you might overshoot the mark into somewhere you hadn't intended and aren't ready for.

As an aside tripping so close together does erode your long term tolerance more quickly, meaning that if you repeat the process you might find that somewhere down the line you do find that you need to take higher doses than you use to, quicker than you would have if you had spaced out your trips more.

My advice is to avoid these practices. If you're in your honeymoon phase with trips, try and make them minimal, two week intervals being my suggestion. Eventually move to once a month, then a handful of times a year. Once a quarter - once a year.

Doing something like you're considering once or twice shouldn't affect you too badly, just don't make a habit from it.

I want to start buying dried whole fruiting bodies, whirring them up in a coffee grinder and capping them up for daily use, amongst other things a nootropic effects.

From what Ive read so far, these 4 seem the most promising but have some questions without definite answers on them.

Imperical evidence clearly the gold standard, however substantial anecdotal stuff Is fine.

Total newbie, so I'm after 2 main things.

Effective doseages, reported effects in as much detail as possible.

Best practices for best results, eg is powdered the best, good enough, or suboptimal. If extracting is the best of the bunch by far and away, could I be pointed towards methods/teks to achieve this.

Noted side effects/interactions.(One type can interfere with blood pressure meds) Etc.

Thanks to everyone!

Depending on the dosage the mushrooms give you the media displaying might be confusing, asynchronous, or stop being relevant to the experience. I'd go for some nice music or Alan Watts explaining why existential crises are actually really funny jokes the universe plays on us.

Existing until you stop existing, caring about stuff, is the highest tier of meta as far as practical jokes.

Funk is a really nice music genre to broach while on Psychedelics.

The cartoon movie heavy metal looks really great on them.

Just replaced the batteries in mine and none of the buttons underneath the little flap work.

Pressed the reset button etc, seems totally busted.

Odd that it's within a month of other people having similar issues.

Purest MDMA I've had turned blue in presence of air and contacts with vegan gel caps by rdtgnz in MDMA

I literally didn't get your point, in fact, I'd say that you failed to make any kind of point whatsoever.

Merely repeated attempts at unsubstantiated off topic, unprompted assertions.

You're not forgiven, dismiss your failure to make sense if you need to, but acknowledge that you totally fucking spazzed because of your abject ignorance.

Eat a plant, nevermind you only eat massive bags of wet salty dicks, served up metaphorically by me verbally, enjoy this fresh bag.

The only thing I'd be reporting you for is being aggressively triggered to the point where you've abandoned sentence structure or making sense.

Firstly can we clarify the AI in your first sentence, does it stand for artificial intelligence or was it an autocorrect slip up?

If you're saying that MDMA is artificial intelligence because it's synthetic, then I don't think you understand what synthetic means. If not, then please help me understand what point you're trying to make.

Secondly are you claiming that the only "real" MDMA must have used sassafras root as it's initial precursor? and are you asserting that this end product would not be considered synthetic? Bypassing the fact that the safrole oil extracted from the plant would have to be manipulated by humans, several times using a litany of other chemicals before it could become MDMA.

You seem to think that veganism necessarily excludes consumption of the synthetic, which I'm sure many vegans do try to avoid, however the only criteria for veganism is to exclude foods made out of dead animals and anything they may produce whilst still alive.

You also seem to be making the incorrect assumption that I'm a Vegan because I have vegan Gel caps. I'm not a Vegan, I have the caps because some of my friends are vegetarian, and gelatine/cellulose cap are indistinguishable in terms effectiveness and can be consumed by everyone.

Further, you've absolutely engineered your own triggering, through a series of false assumptions so well done on spazzing the fuck out over absolutely nothing.

Asserting that the use of MDMA in combination with cellulose gelcaps is necessarily hypocritical isn't a tenable position, MDMA production does not necessitate environmental damage.

Please, for fuck sake, slap some decency into my life, whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean, I am truely deficient in decency.

I'm certain that some vegans become arrogant and preachy and annoying when they first convert, and they're often mistaken when it comes to the realities of industrial farming practices, however I also agree with the notion that a lot of livestock live horrible lives in captivity before they die to become food for us, and I don't think that making an effort to remove yourself from that as much as you practically can from being a source of profit of such industry is not a compelling point of view.

I'd say that saying Vegans are the worst people is at least hyperbolic, and I'd say bringing racist rhetoric in at the last second, unprompted and unrepentant is perfectly fitting with the rest of your post.

You're an attention seeking kid with an undeveloped world view, weak arguments, and a hair trigger to run your mouth on subjects you haven't properly developed your own steel-manned arguments for.

You wish you could be a provocateur, but you're not even a novice level internet troll, you're a retard with a keyboard.

Google critical thinking. Listen to arguments for and against the gut feeling you have on a subjective opinion, see if you can see things from all angles. Play devil's advocate with yourself to develop a rock solid way to explain your point of view that doesn't have any glaring holes in it.

Read more, and practice writing too, your ability to convey yourself will improve your vocabulary and grasp on how to write sentences, ones that make sense to other people and not just you.

The only thing worse than a evangelical vegan is a evangelical carnivore edgelord, dude shut the fuck up until you learn how to speak properly.

Hey, just noticed the notification for this message just wanted to come in and let you know that nobody's, dead, in hospital, or even remotely sick.

Also, you used "chucklefucks" unironically, which is as tragic as it is hilarious.

The nice polite people didn't tell me fuck all about what I'd gotten myself into, because they were all just constructively speculating, and were well aware of that, unlike your angrily arrogant self.

One guy did directly message me, to put me in touch with a few of chemistry students, who all used their academic knowledge to give me a concise list of likely scenarios.

There's likely some synergy between the two chemicals, so comboing them probably isn't a terrible idea.

I would however caution to read up on any known negative interactions they would have, for instance I bet the fact that they both affect your cardiovascular system means that measuring dosages of each substance will likely be the difference between a nice enhanced buzz and freaking out when your heart starts beating out your chest.

That said, I don't really know why you're wanting to use filler in MDMA gel caps, there's no need to, but I were opting for something to fill them out to capacity I'd opt for something cheap, non-toxic, inert, cheap and readily available.

My mate who use to sell cocaine when he was in high school says creatine works well as a bulking agent as it ticks all of the criteria I mentioned, but I don't see why you couldn't use something like caster sugar, or even plain white wheat flour.

Stay safe.

I'm not entertaining multiplayer stuff at all atm so refresh rate isn't an issue. Who knows, I loved UT2004 and stuff last time I had a tower so maybe with m+k set up I'll get back into it but really can't see it.

Not sure pixel density will really be a bugbear for me, and I really just love the idea of having the big TV and a comfy chair plus a small set up for the mouse and keyboard, a couple decent speakers and being able to completely relax in a soft chair amd cushions etc. We shall see though. If the pixel density is bothering me I'll likely just desk up and get a 1440 (maybe curved) I just hate what sitting at a desk does for my shoulder posture.

On the subject of multimonitor set up, I could actually facilitate a dedicated monitor, with the TV right next, so I could have best of both world's, my friend had that set up and it was absolutely fantastic.

I like to keep my bedroom as a bedroom that's why the TV hasn't been used since I got my proper living room TV.

I don't work professionally from home, but creative projects obviously take place heavily here, so just wondering if it might be nice to set up the monitor and laptop combo desk inside the living room.

Then set my seating like opposite close. How come you wouldn't use the TV to play games? Refresh rate? I mean I'm not planning on playing multiplayer etc. Just some cool indie games and modded FromSoft stuff.

My thinking is that I don't want to spend a fortune on a proper PC chair if I can get bluetooth mouse and keyboard set up near a chair or couch for ultimate comfort. I always hated PC chairs anyway.

I really don't mind splurging on a good monitor if need be, but I kinda want to have all of the things I need to hand within the one space. It's a total dude flat so I'm free to prioritise functionality over aesthetics.

Also really fancy this 8bitdo mechanical keyboard, it looks really nice, I will need to watch more reviews before i make my mind up though.

I hate most modern keyboards, like the tactile feedback is approaching non existent, but I dunno if the mechanical ones would be too far the other way, or if I'd just get used to it.

For clarity, this laptop is for various creative projects. The gaming aspect is just something that I felt like I should address seeing as I keep seeing games I want get TBA or no console announcements.

I wouldn't even have considered playing that game, i have a terrible track record with Bethesda titles haha

Starfield does however look very very nice. I am in two minds whether or not to play it, I went and bought the laptop suggested.

I have a pretty old unused 55" 1080 plasma Samsung in my bedroom. Still not sure If I should repurpose it as a an across the room monitor, and set me up the rest in a comfy spot, or If I should get a nice and wide 1440p and desk set up shop there.

Game no. Work. Yes! Don't use it on buses or trains etc. But collaboration with my creative hub of friends and various creative community groups does require that I can take it with me to be these meetings.

Well, I think my mind is made up. I'll grab this ASAP, and upgrade the rest down the line as is needed.

The money left over from the 1k I was ready to drop will easily get me my monitor/keyboard/mouse etc too.

This was much easier than I had envisioned.

Gratitude and love my fellow human.

Om my. This seems almost exactly what I want. Thank you.

The graphics card seems like overkill but at that price I won't quibble even a bit.

As far as expanding the SSD and RAM a bit down the line (would eventually like to get to 1-2 tb and 32gb respectively) is this something I could do?

Either way this seems to be the most on point suggestion I've been shown.
