yes sugary bombs are horrible... I can only eat very bitter chocolate anyways, like 80-90%.. When tripping I think some people become more sensitive and they realize that those sweets are horrible and unhealthy.
btw, there's quite a lot of reports of people mentioning a certain synergy between chocolate (maybe in special teobromine?) and mushrooms.. supposedly they were even used ritually together by certain tribes, but I dont remember the details, which tribes and so on, maybe someone can help me remember.
As for the orange juice thing, it might not be completely placebo. Ascorbic acid is an anti-oxidant, it may help preventing the breakdown of psilocin/cibin. Or there are other suggestions around about it increasing the bioavailability of the alkaloids due to some processes I dont understand.. Dont take my word for it, I will try to find where I read this but also maybe someone else can help here too
(damn stoner memory haha, vaporizer helps the lungs but the goldfish-memory-problem is still there
