Overview of the Test
The Psilocybe cubensis Blue Meanie 4-P4 strain underwent a detailed laboratory analysis to determine its chemical composition and moisture content. This analysis was conducted by Rose Hill in partnership with ACS Laboratory, a leading expert in this field. The results provide essential insights into the potency and overall quality of this strain, helping users make informed decisions.
Key Findings
Psilocybin and Psilocin Concentration Psilocybin and psilocin are the primary psychoactive compounds in Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. In the Blue Meanie 4-P4 strain, the analysis revealed:
- Psilocybin: 5.978 mg/g, which represents 0.5978% of the total weight.
- Psilocin: 0.642 mg/g, accounting for 0.0642% of the total weight.
The combined total of psilocybin and psilocin per package is 33.888 mg, which is 0.662% of the total package weight. This suggests that the Blue Meanie 4-P4 strain has a moderate to strong potency, making it important to approach usage with care, especially for those less experienced with psychoactive mushrooms.
Additional Alkaloids In addition to psilocybin and psilocin, several other alkaloids were identified in the Blue Meanie 4-P4 strain:
- Baeocystin: 0.411 mg/g (0.0411% of the total weight)
- Norbaeocystin: 0.056 mg/g (0.0056% of the total weight)
- Norpsilocin: 0.044 mg/g (0.0044% of the total weight)
- Aeruginascin: 0.028 mg/g (0.0028% of the total weight)
These additional alkaloids contribute to the overall psychoactive effects, although they are present in smaller amounts compared to psilocybin and psilocin.
Moisture Content
The moisture content of the Blue Meanie 4-P4 strain was measured at 6.32%. Proper moisture levels are critical for maintaining the mushroom’s potency and preventing degradation over time. This moisture level indicates that the mushrooms have been well-dried, making them suitable for storage and long-term use.
Implications for Use
The Blue Meanie 4-P4 strain exhibits a notable level of potency, particularly with its psilocybin and psilocin concentrations. This makes it suitable for users who are looking for a strong experience. However, it is recommended that this strain be used with caution, especially by those who are not familiar with its effects.
