An ingredient in Stamets Stack.

chemical structure

dosing

Low doses are 5 to 10 mg, an intermediate or “good effect” dose is 20 mg, and high or ego-dissolution doses are 30 to 40 mg.

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.

Paul Stamets Stack: Microdosing Psilocybin and Lion’s Mane (microdosinginstitute.com) The Paul Stamets Stack or stacking Lion’s Mane has quickly gained popularity in the microdosing community. Stacking refers to combining various non-psychoactive substances with a psychoactive microdosing substance to increase the benefit related to microdosing. Since renowned mycologist Paul Stamets first mentioned this stacking combination, a large community of biohackers, microdosers and people looking to improve their brain health have adopted Stamets’ (now patented) microdosing stacking method.
