Theoretical modes of action

Users should note that there is no research to support the lemon tek theory specifically. To our knowledge, science does support the concept of acidic environments converting psilocybin into psilocin and. Some, if not all, the effects may be attributed to placebo effect.

Dephosphorylation

Psilocybin is a prodrug to psilocin, which is primarily responsible for the psychoactive effects of psilocybin mushrooms. The conversion process, known as dephosphorylation, begins upon entering the stomach. This is one of the reasons why psilocybin mushrooms take about an hour before their effects begin.

The lemon tek theory suggests the acid in the lemon juice jump starts the conversion of psilocybin into psilocin. There are two processes by which psilocybin can be dephosphorylated [1] into psilocin- either via the alkaline phosphatase enzyme in the intestine and kidney, or in acidic environments like the stomach.[2] In theory, lemon juice, which has a pH of around 2, should be acidic enough to dephosphorylate psilocybin in the same way the stomach can (with a pH of 1.5 to 3.5 in humans).[3] Purported effects include faster onset, a more intense trip, and reduced nausea.

Increased absorption

Factors that contribute to improved absorption:

  1. The mushroom are ground up.
  2. The mushroom are soaked in water.
  3. Acids extract the alkaloids into the solution, that are absorbed quicker in your stomach than your stomach having to break down fungus material to get the actives out.

Materials

  • Psilocybin mushrooms
  • Small glass
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Water


Effects, Dosages, and Considerations

Lemon tekking may intensify and shorten the effects of magic mushrooms, requiring careful dosing and awareness of its altered timelines.

Duration and Intensity

Psychonauts report lemon tekking induces a faster onset (20-40 minutes) and more intense effects, with trips lasting 3-5 hours compared to the usual 4-6 hours. Duration depends on dosage and metabolism, making it ideal for those seeking a shorter but profound experience.

Typical Doses and Effects

When using lemon tek, adjust doses to account for increased psilocin bioavailability:

  • Low dose (0.5-1g): Mild sensory and emotional enhancements, slight visuals, introspection.
  • Moderate-high dose (1.5-3g): Pronounced hallucinations, sensory intensity, and deep emotional or introspective experiences.
  • High dose (3.5g+): Intense visuals, ego dissolution, and potential spiritual insights.

Lemon Tekking Dosage Tips

  • Beginners: Start with 0.5-1g to gauge sensitivity.
  • Experienced users: Reduce usual doses by 20-30% to offset increased potency.

This method demands caution and precise dosing for a controlled and meaningful experience.
