psilocin

chemical structure

lemon tek

“Lemon tek” or “lemon tekking” is a method sometimes used by recreational psilocybin users. It involves soaking psilocybin-containing mushrooms in citric acid-containing lemon juice to supposedly convert their psilocybin content into psilocin before administration. This is claimed to hasten their onset, cause a sharper and more intense peak, and shorten their duration.

metabolism

Once ingested, psilocybin is rapidly metabolized to psilocin, which then acts on serotonin receptors in the brain.

Amateur Telescope Making Main Page (stellafane.org) Many amateur astronomers still choose to fabricate their own instruments, for the pride of accomplishment, the gaining of knowledge and the insurance of quality. Telescope making is at the heart of the Springfield Telescope Makers - after all it is two thirds of our club’s name - and on these pages we hope to show you that you too can make your own telescope - and it can be an excellent performer!

Psilocin (Wikipedia) Psilocin (also known as 4-HO-DMT, 4-hydroxy DMT, psilocine, psilocyn, or psilotsin) is a substituted tryptamine alkaloid and a serotonergic psychedelic substance. It is present in most psychedelic mushrooms together with its phosphorylated counterpart psilocybin. Psilocin is a Schedule I drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Acting on the 5-HT2A receptors, psilocin modulates the production and reuptake of serotonin. The mind-altering effects of psilocin are highly variable and subjective and resemble those of LSD and DMT.
