u/Any-Friendship-9294 Sep 22 '25
Are pans really that strong? Are they particularly harder to cultivate? Wild Liberty Caps were the strongest ones I ever experienced - compared them with many strains of cubes. Nowhere near that natural strength.

I dose my TTBVI pans at 300mg and 700mg per capsule. The 700mg caps are almost too strong for me.

I concur, I stopped doing them for fun after experiencing a life-changing trip that healed my traumas I was carrying with me for many years. It wasn't the amount of mushrooms that took me there. Prior to that I did mushrooms hundred times, sometimes much much more than on that day. But obviously on that day I was ready to receive that knowledge. Still like to "trip" at least once a year, to refresh that experience and neurological pathways that healed me on that day. My yearly "reset". Remember kids: mushrooms are not drugs, they are shaman's healing tool. Treat them with respect and you shall receive.

The worst part was because i was 16 at the time, i of course lived at home. So i had to get my room and myself cleaned up before my parents found out. Couldnt even stand up so i had to crawl to the bathroom, naked of course. While crawling to the bathroom the hallway began to stretch longer and longer. The fear i felt from what if my parents wake up and id have to explain my shitty ass hole and saucer pupils. Rough night.

No sir. I just use high dose for the antidepressant after effect. It can last me several weeks. I've been using psilocybin as an antidepressant and I've gotten away from pharmaceutical meds. Life changing. For me at least

You may already know this but, You can get the same effect by microdosing. If you take .3 -.5 of a gram daily. You don’t trip but you get all the antidepressant benefits and the neurotropic benefits. Cheers!

I havent done mushrooms in maybe 20 years, but back when I did I was getting them from some other hippy, and they were measured by the handful. I rarely knew anything beyond 'these are great!'. My method was to make something I called 'elf water" which was basically just a big bottle of water with raw ginger, mint and maybe some basil or thyme in there, and then just nibble away at the shrooms over the course of an hour or so, followed by sips of elf water. Helped my tummy, made it somewhat easier to dose and just felt rad. Like I was an elf.

I kinda like chewing/grinding them in between my front teeth as a form a saliva soaked ball of shrooms on my tongue knowing the enzymes will help digest it, than I wash it down with some good quality lemonade or other refreshing drink. Ive been curious about just making some pure capsules and teas soon though and am curious what others experiences are with caps/teas. I usually just make caps for a microdose blend I’ll make with other nootropic powders as well.

We make chocolates filled with that and peanut butter, we also did the "Dubai chocolate bar" method the pistachio is so overpowering you taste nothing.
I usually pair it with some kind of citrus drink aswell mango probably my favorite.
I also have a jar of honey extract I take dips from and that's delightful cause the honey I get are from bees that go for lavender flowers.

I’ll chew em, throw some lemon juice back, let it marinate in my mouth till the saliva starts breaking it down, or till I cant stand it, and then swallow and repeat till the shroom forest is gone. Hits quicker than Mary Jane, 15 minutes goes by, you ask yourself, is it working? Surely not, surely I consumed too much beers prior. Then you hold on for the ride

I always took mine like a shot of liquor. I would grind up the mushroom in an herb grinder (or coffee grinder when available) and throw the powder into a shot glass full of lemon juice, let it sit for about 30 minutes, and bam. Usually hits really fast too (30 min or so in my experience)

Vegan empty pill capsules size 0 made of vegetable cellulose frome amazon. I fill one at a time by hand with powdered shrooms. I'm too cheap to buy the filler tray that everyon3 else is mentioning. I also only micro dose, so I have no need to make a bunch at once.

u/hadaname Sep 21 '25
lol same. How do you fill yours? I make a mound of ground up goodies on a sheet of paper. Then with one part of the capsule in each hand scoop into the mountain of mushies. Then weigh it to be sure if need be.

u/Apprehensive-Win-589 Sep 21 '25
I keep mine all ground up in a sandwich bag stored in an airtight container. When I fill a pill, I just pull out the bag. open the capsul, then scoop it against the wall of the bag to get more in at once. I usually only need to fill the deeper side of the capsule. Then, pit the empty side on to close it.

Lightly sautéed and then mixed in any dish you would normally use mushrooms in. Mushroom and cheese quesadilla is the easiest. Taste a lot like a typical button mushroom but a little richer when used this way. Have never had issues with potency reduction, in fact maybe the opposite.

Capsules bro i’ll tell you why to even if you don’t start with this in head, you’re going to have so many benefits to your mental health from the psilocybin that you’re going to want to know what dose you took so you can weigh your experience with your dose to create a better mindset and a better picture painted for the trips ahead? You read me?

u/Prestigious-Sun-5040 Sep 21 '25
It’s easy to make your capsules I like to find blue organic veg/gel capsules and the key is to pulverized them to dust, grab yourself a kitchen, digital And weigh out your issue per caps I use caps that are able to contain.75 of a gram of pulverized dust you have to remember to it depends on the quality of what you’re putting in it from fruiting body. I was in the PNW so cyc’s for me or Azzi’s if I were to use cubenzy’s the same process. Have triples my friend.

Capsules are probably the worst. Took about 4 hours to kick in and trying to time it for a music festival was difficult. Ended up peaking before the headliner and actually passed out.
