Already purchased 100 gelatin caps but I just read in a new book from Peter McCoy that says not to use gelatin capsules.
Can anyone think of reason for this?
Thanks everyone!

Having sat through many hours of his lectures, I suspect it has to do with the processing of the cows for the gelatin or the treatment of food factory animals. He doesn't mention it in the video.

bought some gel caps from a mail order dispensary full of shrooms once for shits and giggles, when i was buying some pot. they where huge horse pill and had less than half a gram. if you can get enough down that way and cant stand the taste all the power to you. As juthro said stealthy as shit in empty vitamin bottle (sorry having some comp problems and cant like).

I cap mine up.
Great way to dose people on the fly; like at festivals or parties.

Only thing about them IME is that they don't stay potent for too long. Over a few weeks or so you lose a lot of magic. I think it's because you're increasing the surface area a lot by grinding the mushies to powder and the caps themselves aren't airtight. If you use a vacuum sealer it would probably help a lot but I wouldn't cap any mush I wanted to store for any length of time.

That's why I like 'locking them up" in chocolate, no oxidation.

Well shit. I still have a couple of ounces of Cubensis Blue Magnolia that have been capped up for 6 months. I did use a capsule packer to pack the powder in tight, stored in a cool dark closet, sealed in a freezer zip lock with a packet of drying agent.
I was planning on handing them out today at a fest, but I may just keep them at home for personal testing.
Good thing that I have blotter!

Exactly, I put my ground mushies into some gelatin caps a while ago and snuck them on a flight disguised in a vitamin bottle; they were 'normal sized' caps and yeah, to get what I think was a 4g dry dose I had to swallow something like 10 or 12 damn pills. And even then I still couldn't keep them down, BUT they stayed for a few hours which is a record for me cause normally after 50 minutes they're up.bought some gel caps from a mail order dispensary full of shrooms once for shits and giggles, when i was buying some pot. they where huge horse pill and had less than half a gram. if you can get enough down that way and cant stand the taste all the power to you.  As juthro said stealthy as shit in empty vitamin bottle

I'm not ignoring this just passive reading for me...........I eat fresh and dried mushrooms like tater chips.................I have no stomach issues at all from shrooms
Booze is a completely different story, my body knows it's poison.......fast food too. I either puke it out or it runs like the spring thaws down the valley...........so to speak
I do have Saw Palmetto and Japanese Knotweed root in gel caps though............

GNC store. 250 size 0 veggie caps, 7 bucks. I don't know where the guy in the video buys his at a buck a capsule!
I would probably go with veggie caps just because of not knowing what sort of meat refuse and rendering practices were used to extract the gelatin. Sure it will be free from bacteria and virus, but prions, and chemicals used to purify and make the gelatin "edible"? In today's world I might shy away from that.
