Potency Testing

I offer psilocybin and LSD potency testing to accurately calculate dosing. 99% of the psychedelic practice sites skip this step. Here’s the reasoning: 

The differences in potency of psilocybin mushrooms range from 0.5-2.5%, occasionally up to 5%. This depends on strains, the cultivation, storage, and other factors. This means one batch can be 10 times more potent than another. In research studies, the dosage of synthetic psilocybin is 10-25mg. This is what we are aiming for. This equals to 1-2.5g of dried mushrooms with 1% average potency. However, with potency being an unpredictable factor, actual dosage can be all over the place. 

If you dose too little, the journey will be underwhelming and not effective. If you dose too much, the journey will be overwhelming and sometimes even cause a blackout. Therefore, accurate dosage is so important but often neglected for risk reduction and therapeutic effectiveness of psilocybin use. 

To conduct the testing, the cost of 1 hour of labour is $100, and the material is $30. This also includes the use of a $450 photometer for accurate reading (see the photo below).

You can also choose to perform this test yourself ahead of time to save money. However, a photometer is way more accurate because eyesight is influenced by lighting and background.

This testing can be performed on LSD tabs or drops as well.
