Link in Bio. 🍄 A new “relatively low-cost” technique has arrived that measures the potency of p$il0cybin and p$ilocin in mushrooms. Cred goes to teams at the Uni of Texas at Arlington, Scottsdale Research Institute in Phoenix, Shimadzu Scientific Instruments in Maryland, and Millipore-Sigma in Round Rock, Texas. Here’s how they did it: utilizing liquid chromatography (LC) with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), they extracted and measured potency. For those without a scientific background, liquid chromatography separates molecules. As for tandem mass spectrometry, it dissects ions into fragments and reveals the chemical structure. By combining these two techniques, the researchers found that the average total concentrations of P & P in Creeper, Blue Meanie, B+, Texas Yellow, and Thai Cubensis strains were 1.36, 1.221, 1.134, 1.103, and 0.879%. ━━━━━ Reas more about mushrooms, their history, and potency on HighTimes.com | By Jack Giroux | #trippytuesday
