The lemon-tek method of consuming psilocybin mushrooms isn’t related to this. Acidic conditions speed up the conversion of psilocybin into psilocin. This normally happens in your stomach, the lemon-tek method just does externally. This causes the overall experience to be shorter, but more intense. Psilocin also doesn’t appear to be metabolized by the enzymes that grapefruit inhibits.
