Threshold doses of mushrooms?

Hid in fiction.
Can anybody provide input on .25-.75 gram mushroom consumption?

Would such a low dose provide enhanced music appreciation while still being functional (lacking visuals)? I know most would call it a wasted trip or a tease, but I currently cannot use Cannabis for multiple reasons, and want a suitable replacement to aide in exploring the textural aspect of music.

Low doses of Cactus were helpful, but the high lasted way too long at ~12 hours and prevented sleep. This is a downfall as I have to be up early every morning.

I use Kratom daily to help with sleep and exercise pains, and while it does alter the experience, it's not the psychedelic tinged perception Cannabis produces.

Thank you in advance <3

it really depends on the particular batch of mushrooms you have at the time ime.

but usually .25-1g maybe 1.5 will produce what your looking for i think. you might have to take more or less in some situations qualities all over the place with mushrooms and even with a scale you really dont know the weight of the compounds in the mushrooms. probably best to dose low and see how you react to them everyone is different, you could definitely find a dose that wont make you loopy with visuals just start really low.
 
It'll provide a nice anti-depressant effect but you won't notice much of a trip. And it stops working if you try and take it every couple of days.
 
I took 1.25g a couple of weekends ago, and was surprised to find I could hardly feel anything. They might have been light shrooms, but my friend ate .4g from the same batch and said he was getting closed-eye visuals and altered mood. Anyway, my experience started when I began dancing to the electronic bush rave music at the scene. That was when it kicked in. It was very much in the background, I could have completely ignored it if I'd wanted, and I could have passed for sober in front of anyone. But it definitely enhanced the music, helped me go on a little journey and just freed me up, while being completely non-inebriating.
 
I took a few 1/2 gram to 1 gram doses a while ago after an 8 gram trip scared the living shit out of me and i was trying to gently get back on the horse so to speak.

Definitely had an effect but I was not anxious because I was 99% sure there was no way it was going to bite me at that dose, It worked a treat in gently rebuilding my confidence for higher doses and i was able to make some sense of what went wrong on the 8 grams and why.
 
I was thinking standard Cubensis. It's crazy how the experience can differ from person to person with such a drastic difference in dosage. Guess I will find what works for me. Hopefully my neighboring state passes their medical Cannabis law this year :)

Yeh I did write it up, I just went and searched through my old posts and found 3 relevant mushroom trip reports I've done if you are interested in higher dose experiences, I got a bit confused with the order of them and when I found the old posts it was the 6 gram trip that actually kicked my ass, that report is here.... http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/...ienced-6-grams-When-and-why-it-all-went-wrong

Here is another mad account of getting the set and setting all wrong with high dose combo of things including mushrooms... http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/...s-mushrooms-experienced-beach-walk-in-a-storm

And here is the 8 gram dose report, which was the most intense but I wouldn't call it a bad trip, just a deep one.....http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/...xperienced-8-grams-in-silent-darkness-(Part-1)
 
Low dose mushrooms are wonderful... even threshold doses provide a depth that I find most other psychedelics just can't hope to at their respective thresholds.
 
I just grew my own and tested 0,5gr dry mushrooms.
VERY nice night, lots of laughter, music appreciation and social interaction !

Nice. How was the anxiety level? I've heard several cases of higher anxiety with lower doses. I am going to attribute that to the fact that said dosers were anticipating full blown trips rather than a mild change in perception.
 
I wouldn't say there is higher anxiety on low dose trips than high doses, on a high dose I am shaking at the knees because I know whats coming, or rather I DONT KNOW what's coming but I know it's going to be major :), but on a low dose yes there is the anxiety but I thought about it and it's really just hoping that they weren't super strong shrooms and that you will only get the low thresh hold experience you were after, but once the first wave hits and its obviously not a devastating blow then the anxiety dissipates pretty quick and the whole thing is generally relaxing and pleasant from then on.

The one time I've ever gotten extreme anxiety and dysphoria from mushrooms was about 3.5 hours into a 1 gram trip, and I am very experienced with fungus. Other than that one instance I've always enjoyed lower doses as much as higher :D
 
About the anxiety:

Maybe if you don't know the mushroom state (at a full dose, I mean), the low dose could feel a little ... weird. You realize sth is happening, but it is hard to exactly say what.

If you have had a decent trip already and are indeed "just" looking for sensory appreciation and relaxation, 0.5gr is the way to go !
