Mht. til citron-tricket, ser det ud til at de fleste mener, at det er den lave ph-værdi, som omdanner (en del af?) psilocybinen til psilocin "på forhånd", altså sådan at kroppen ikke selv skal metabolisere det hele.
Citat:
And to reiterate my hypothesis: The acidity in the juice causes a significant amount of the psilocybin in your cup to be converted to psilocin, which means that your body has little, if anything, to metabolize when you drink it. -"Pre-digested"
So three things contribute to the 'increased' effects:
#1: The psilocin starts working its magic (entering the bloodstream and brain) faster and easier than usual, since there is a much smaller amount of psilocybin to be metabolized than usual.
#2: Your juice drink is highly concentrated. That is to say, a high ratio of mushroom-to-juice. Swallowing that in one or two gulps is a no-brainer for explaining why things happen faster.
#3: The mushrooms are powdered. Maximum surface area = minimum amount of time to digest it.
Så er der også en der mener, at C-vitaminerne som den antioxidant den er, kan være med til at "beskytte" alkaloiderne, sådan at de ikke går til spilde?
Citat:
Vita-C is a good antioxidant (correct me if i'm wrong), thus it could help to prevent oxidation of the alkaloids are they are passed thru the body and on their way to the liver to be converted to psilocin/nor-b). it also seems possible that some psilocin isnt proccessed into the brain the first time thru the body, and may degrade before its "used" , so maybe the concentrated anti-oxidants in the blood system helps to "preserve" the alkaloids in the body.
Er ikke kemiker/biolog nok til at afgøre om dette holder, men det skal da afgjort testes inden længe. Rapport følger
