Psilocybin is a prodrug for psilocin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms. The conversion from psilocybin to psilocin takes place in the stomach, which can delay the onset of the trip. Some people [[Lemon tek|soak the mushrooms in lemon juice]] prior to ingestion. This "lemon tek" is supposed to kickstart the conversion from psilocybin to psilocin and thus facilitate a faster comeup. Unfortunately, evidence suggests that lemon juice is not sufficient to catalyze this reaction, and so the Lemon tek appears to be an urban drug myth. | Psilocybin is a prodrug for psilocin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms.
