This was my first attempt at making a tincture. I’ve done loads of extractions with weed and this was no different.
I was microdosing at the time and didn’t really mind eating a little shroom but just wanted it to look like a normal kitchen sundry that you’d find in any spice cupboard.
Mushrooms laws here in the UK are vague at best when it comes to picking liberty caps (sole magic mushroom of the UK)
You can walk along the streets with fresh ones in your pocket, be stopped by the police and it’s not a problem, although they will probably confiscate them.
Likewise if in nature, able to pick them and eat them at will
But if you have them in any sort of storage or are caught drying them then they become a Class A drug right up there with crack and heroin
So not exactly fun when all flushes are finished and you may have 500g of dried shrooms. That’s big jail time
They were perfectly legal here until 2005 as long as they were sold fresh and not dried. I think the Netherlands still has this practice
Anyway. Back to the tincture. That pic was taken around 20 minutes after I first added them to the vodka after a brief simmer in boiling water. Think if it’s blue psilocybin will ensue
Used 20g dried into just under a pint of strong vodka. Left it for a month with extreme agitation everyday.
On its own, was not particularly nice. That earthy taste managed to penetrate the vodka. A few drops on the tongue with a dropper and I was wincing.
Think I worked out the dosage to 0.5ml>0.66grams. Might be wrong. I have notes and more pictures i can’t find
So 1.5 ml and it was a nice noticeable dose.
Then we had a party one night and used the tincture liberally in cocktails.
Was one of the best nights of my life. Cannot describe the buzz. Just felt tribal. Was brilliant.
Particularly liked the honey idea (as soon as you said blue CL I knew it was a winner)
