I had read that passion flower increases the potency of mushrooms. I recognized the flower from pictures as one I had seen growing around my area. Mushrooms are my favorite so I was keen to try them with the flower. Recently I went out looking and found one mushroom (I think the species is psilocybe cubensis) and a passion flower vine. I picked two flowers. By the way these flowers are very beautiful!
I tore the flowers up and left them to soak in 2 cups of water for a couple of hours, waiting for evening. Then I boiled the mixture for several minutes, added more water and boiled a little more. Then I added a tea bag to the mixture, Lipton. Because there was only about 2 cups of water I only soaked the bag for 2 minutes. I drank the tea, flowers and all, and waited about 40 minutes before ate the mushroom. The tea tasted normal. I forgot to weigh the mushroom but I guess it to have weighed 15 or 20 grams.
The onset was normal for mushrooms. An hour after eating it I was quite high. I stayed high for 7 or 8 hours. Id say the effects of the mushroom were roughly doubled in intensity, but it was different than normal, I didnt like it. It made me hyper but at the same time I didnt want to do anything. The high had a sharp, uncomfortable edge I didnt like, and it was the same from beginning to end. I don't think I'll ever take passion flower with mushrooms again.
