It is stated in the LSD FAQ that "The mushroom psylocybin cubensis
contains all four of these indole derivatives [ DMT, DET, psylocin, psylocybin], as well as others". As we all know, DMT and DET are not orally active since MAO enzymes in
the stomach 'destroy' them. However, in the psylocybin section of the
_Psychedelic Encyclopedia_ it is stated that if mushrooms are chewed thoroughly for
approximately five minutes prior to ingestion, the psylocibin will hit in approx. 2-3
minutes after that, since a good deal of it s absorbed thru the mucous lining in the
mouth.
Now, if that is the case,would not the other indole derivatives such as DMT and DET be
absorbed thru there as well, thus bypassing the MAO's in the stomach?
Or are there MAO enzymes in the saliva that would render them inactive?
