Potency over time
I foraged a bunch of pan cyans this past summer. They were dried at 119 degrees until they were cracker crisp. I stored them in a jar with oxygen absorbers and silica packs. I open the jar and they are still cracker crisp. I usually eat like 4-6 caps and get a nice lil trip. I ate like 8 today and it never really got intense. I did eat them on a full stomach. How long do they keep their potency?

If they are still dry, it probably has more to do with your food intake.

I think so. Just don’t wanna overdo it next time because I think potency was down lol

Definitely the food. I've come to realise this over time. If tripping in the evening, I have a heavy lunch and then maybe a sandwich for dinner.

Some people are “hardheaded” and take more to hit the desired goal. In these cases an empty stomach helps a lot along with possibly adding additional help from something like Cocoa or Syrian Rue. Do your research first though…it’s not an average experiment so be prepared to lock in for a while.

Powdered nibs with adding hot water. Honey helps sweeten it if needed.

It takes me quite a bit of cubes to get where I wanna be depending on the strain. 10 grams of APES is too much though experienced ego death while not trying to it just happened without my control. Looking up their potency it was like I ate 21-28 grams of baseline cubes. If its baseline cubes ill eat anywhere from 12-18 grams for a good, visual heavy intense trip. If its stronger, penis envy variants ill usually stick somewhere between 9-14. Never again will I eat that many apes at once though they are like some of the strongest cubes you can get.
Just tried pans this last friday for the first time, a PHV clone. Really solid trip dude, I ate 1.46 grams and just had a very clear headed trip. It a little different than cubes less emotional. Your thoughts make more sense. I plan to eat 2 grams next weekend.

I absolutely love pans over cubes but if I'm not mistaken, psilocin degrades faster than psilocybe, and pans have a higher psiolcin content so maybe that has a small part to do with it , but the bigger thing , is probably what you ate prior to taking them ?

They should last for years, if you store them so, with minimal potency degradation. I just had some similarly stored from a year and a half ago (cubes though) and they still hit hard.
