So this weekend I decided to try something completley different.

Gin-a-tonic with a few pan cams sprinkled in.

I started small by adding two small caps to the first 1 shot drink.
I drank this pretty slow over the course of an hour, but I could feel noticeable effects.

For those that don't know Tonic has quinine which is alkaloid (wiki). Me and my wife both think it has muscle relaxing capabilities as we turn to jello when we drink them...

After the first drink I started adding in slightly larger amounts of shrooms to subsequent drinks.
Over the course of the day ( I started at about 12 (lunch)) I had about 3 grams of pan cams and about 5-6 gin-a-tonics.

At this time it is about 8pm and everything is sort of glowing and shimmering in the wind. I'm pretty much buzzing my ass off and tripping medium hard. Pretty euphoric honestly. I'm perfectly conscious talking to my sober wife and helping to cook diner, but every so often I get these bursts or expansion of consciousness and feel like I'm in a couple of inhabiting multi dimensions at once. It at times became hard to focus on my wifes words over the other random psychedelic noises I was hearing.

Having to much fun to quit I decided to continue this process with the cubes I had (burma) strain. I had used all the pan cams I had. Anyway within about 45 minutes there was a noticeable change to the darker side. Nothing freaking me out, but just a VERY noticeable signature to the cubes...which rapidly turned blue in my drink. I'd say it was night and day cubes vs pans. Totally different. If I didn't know better I'd think they were different active compounds. Seriously that different.

All in all this was an absolutely amazing day. One of the best way's I have found to make shrooms social...yet spiritual at the same time.

I've said this before, but it's worth repeating for all you shroom lovers out there. If you have not tried the pan cams yet you need to. Honestly I don't really like cubes anymore...and they have been my closest ally since I was a teenager.


Shroom-a-tonic recipe.

1) crush up shroom mater in glass first (Space it out...I'd say no more than a quarter dose for the first drink).

2) Take a lime and squeeze it onto the mushrooms.

3) Take 3/4 - 1 full shot and pour it over the lime/mushrooms

4) Next grab a bottle of fresh tonic and fill your glass up. I use a small glass for this purpose.

5) Sip slowly over the course of 30-60 minutes.

6) Repeat until you have had enough.

BTW I HATE GIN...but this really wasn't bad at all. But then for a group of people willing to drink aya I can't see how any of us could ever complain about taste! lol.

Peace.

Does it make the gin drinkable? lol.

It does. lol. It does because it makes the shrooms 'more' tolerable therefore making the gin a worthy vehicle of ingestion.

If I repeat I'll probably try either vodka tonic or just plain old lime tonic. I honestly think the tonic added something signifiant to the experience. It was very laid back..like being on a couple of valium. Very different than drunk/shrooms.

Interesting... tonic water goes on the grocery list. Thanks for the idea!

I have a bottle of vodka on the shelf awaiting this process, but with a nice prolonged soak. Timely!

Do you not swallow the mushrooms?


I've tried soaking 10 grams of cubes in 8oz of tequila before. The tequila turned blue, but when I drank 2oz, 3oz, etc. it was completely inactive. Maybe it was oxidation. I let it sit for a few weeks, then put it in the freezer for a week after straining.

Next time I go the picking the forest I'll give these a shot. I find fresh mushrooms far more euphoric and calm in the first place. But not really the season over here.

PS
I'm not really a big drinker, but I can actually get into trouble when Gin's around because I absolutely savour the flavour—which results in me drinking perhaps a little too fast for someone who doesn't drink often ...
