The procedure under consideration involves a specific method for consuming psilocybin-containing mushrooms. It entails combining these mushrooms with lemon juice before ingestion. This pre-treatment is theorized to accelerate and potentially intensify the effects of the psilocybin. For example, finely ground psilocybin mushrooms might be steeped in freshly squeezed lemon juice for a duration prior to consumption.
The perceived advantages of this method relate to the acidic nature of the lemon juice. It is hypothesized that the citric acid initiates the conversion of psilocybin to psilocin, the active psychoactive compound, before it enters the body. This pre-conversion is theorized to reduce the time it takes for the effects to manifest and potentially enhance the overall experience. Historically, anecdotal reports and informal experimentation have driven exploration of this technique within certain communities.
