I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who yearns for the cleanest psilocybin trip of all time..
Crystals weighed out and put into capsules.. crystals in little amber vials..
Here's the TEK if anyone feels brave enough to do it!

Actually, it's a few methods..*****************************

Thats interesting, I might try to do that. How much would you be willing to pay?
-
Some of my favorite trips were from the crystals, but I only ever got them from OVDB. I'm sure there would be interest if someone could extract some. =D

We'll be providing psilocin extract (and probably psilocybin extract too) around spring, just need to start a larger scale shroom cultivation.

Time to get some tray grows going GG!

Psilocybin and psilocin crystals are very tempting things. Especially when they're so clean and beautiful.
But the biggest problem with them is that they are significantly less stable than psilocin/psilocybin in dried mushroom powder (or any solid Psilocybe mushrooms).
They absolutely cannot be stored in aqueous solution (at both high and low pH ranges), nor on their own, for very long, as this causes them to oxidize/become inactive quickly.
That shelf-life can be extended if they're made into salts (citrate salts apparently are much more stable), or if kept in pure ethanol (alcohol). The latter of which extends the shelf-life by a lot!
Personally I'm not sure if pure ethanol can be placed into cellulose or gelatin capsules, and while it can be kept in glass vials, one sure as hell can't eat the glass vials, and pure ethanol tends to not be very fun to consume (think intense burning :o).
It's a worthwhile experiment, and I'd love to see crystals on SR. I just don't think most of the potency will survive the postal service for more than 3 days.
So the vendor ends up selling 25% of the dosage (including the yield and the potency loss through evaporation etc..). :-\
Still, for those daring enough to test it out, good luck!

Not sure about sending them out in the mail, but what I would do to have my grow going again right now. Thanks for the cool link Jtemp.

I <3 you guys :)

Might try this tomorrow as I have 10g dried cubes sitting around, will post if it works! I've got some fumaric acid in the post too so it'd be interesting to see if I can make psilocin fumarate, not sure if psilocybin will salt out as the fumarate though so might have to hydrolyse the to psilocin first.
I'm starting a grow in a few weeks, my home made spore prints wouldn't colonize so I'm waiting for some syringes to arrive, doing a 4x monotub grow so hopefully I'll have a mound of shrooms to experiment with in a couple of months :D
-
not trying to derail the thread, so ignore or delete this post if it is deemed necessary but..
wowzers, did you hydrate your spores? Not sure of your experience and abilities, but when you make a spore print you usually don't want to use the 1st drop. The 1st drop has more contams. Use the 2nd spore drop and then once you get them in the sterilized syringe let them sit for 24 hours. This will have them colonizing faster. There's an easy tek on making spore prints with a freezer bag.
-
yeah rehydrated with sterile isotonic solution overnight. The spores were on aluminium foil in sterilised baggies and had been left in the freezer for about 2 months. I did use the first spore drop- I didn't realize it was an issue, thanks for the tip. Not sure if it was a contamination problem, the jars didn't go moldy or anything just nothing happened at all. Will look up the tek- is it in the shroomery library?
