because if you suffer from severe anxiety which is perhaps caused by PTSD or another mental health condition , it can actually give you quite some euphoria due to its anti-anxiety effects

temazepam/alprazolam/midazolam is too good to be true for me, as I have bad social anxiety and PTSD.
When you have these disorders, your anxiety levels are so high that when you get the benzo in your system, going from so bad to so good is a huge contrast.
For people who don't have anxiety/PTSD/etc, you're just going from normal to being on a benzo, which isn't as enjoyable/rewarding/reinforcing.
I usually do a 1/8th, I want to see what 5g would do to me. Infact I plan on taking about that much in a upcoming weekend to see if I can handle it because I really want to trip balls at a festie :D
A word of warning to the wise....
the dose/effects curve for mushrooms is much steeper than LSD or other psychedelics.
At 1.75g, (half of an 8th), I wouldn't get any effects. None.
At 3.5g, (an 8th), I would get a normal ++ to +++. This is what most people normally aim for (to have fun, not a top level experience with mushrooms).
At 5 to 7 grams, I get to the top level of mushrooms where I am totally disconnected from reality, I'll go through long periods of non-responsiveness, etc. - at this dosage, I wouldn't want to be in public or around anyone I wouldn't consider a good friend. These types of dosages are best for tripping alone, or at least in your own home with not a lot to do and zero responsibilities.
I'm going for a very high dose of acid haha.. I've found LSD to be much more forgiving than mushrooms in high doses.
It can be; but I accidentally got to a higher level than intended with LSD one of the times I took it this year.. so I don't want to say LSD is a
lot more forgiving, just a tad bit. That tad bit more forgiving can make the difference between enjoying yourself and having a terrifying trip.
