I know this question has been answered many times but i was wondering if someone could help me out. I first tried shrooms last friday i took 2.5 and had a great trip. Last night (tuesday) i took 1.5 but i was also planning to trip this friday with my buddys. If i took about 4 grams would i be okay or have i done shrooms to much recently?
 
Uhm tripping super frequently is already dubious for those who are experienced and seasoned with psychedelics. There are plenty who do that and the issues that may arise depend on the person, often it can be fine. In my case what happened mostly was that I lost my sense of scepsis to ideas. I returned from that later.

But if you have just tried mushrooms for the first time I really recommend you take some time to level out before you dive in again.

Tolerance is partially a practical issue: you will need to take more to get a similar effect. But many people report that even if they dose higher there is often something disappointing about it. That what makes it special or magical, can be lost if you exaggerate it, even if it tends to be temporary.
Without much experience by definition it is still very fresh and special, and that has some effect on you that lingers in your subconscious. IMO going from not tripping to doing it very often can be too big of a change, it stirs up a lot of feelings and thought inside you and it must be handled with care and responsibility.

I guess it is a matter of opinion what is too much / too often, or what is not. And it is not immediately about harsh dangers if you go ahead anyway. Still you should really consider all this because there are reasons why you might regret your haste later.
Keep it special man! 3 times in a week is definitely a lot but if that frequency is a one off thing like I said you will 'survive'.
 
Be aware also that 4 grams is not just twice as strong as 2 grams but can be heaps stronger, just be careful when upping the doses with shrooms or you could find the effects overwhelming.

Having said that 4 grams should be fine - but just don't go getting over confident with them and thinking next week it may be fun to do 8 grams.
 
I would advise caution. You are in the honeymoon period of shrooms that many, including myself, have experienced.
Your first two trips went great (I expect?) and you think "this is just a fantastic drug I want to do it all the time" and then suddenly you get your ass kicked by the shrooms and are taught that they are to be treated with respect.
 
In addition to the physiological issues causing tolerance, part of what makes tripping so enjoyable is the novel headspace. If you revisit it too often it loses that novelty and becomes less enjoyable. Also when you increase dose to account for tolerance the ratio of good effects to neutral or bad side effects becomes less preferable as well.
 
I'm honestly going to take a long break after this trip. This is also my last weekend that i actually have free time to trip. I was only thinking taking 4 because my tolerance might be high but if it might be over overwhelming then would 3 grams be a better dosage? Thanks for all the help guys!
 
Take long breaks, try to never really go too far beyond 1/8th t keep the magic of it.

My best buddy took a 1/2oz (was very young and had no idea what he was doing) a long time ago, and he always says he feels disappointed after mushrooms trips, like nothing compares to it, and while its fun, it really doesn't rock his world like that one trip so he sort of ruined it for himself.

lol 1/8th for me and I'm in the next dimension
 
Just heard a McKenna talk where he said "People don't listen, someone came up to me and said "I couldn't remember if you said 5 grams or 5 ounces so to be safe i took an ounce and a half" lol.

Yes, what twigs said was right on the mark - that happened to me (the asswhooping) and it fucked me up.

Not all mushrooms are equally potent even ones that are in the same batch. So in that way it is not the same as powder from the same batch (not counting hot pockets)... remember that.

When you get tolerance from not only one but two trips earlier in the week, it becomes increasingly hard to predict how much reduction in effect there is. It can be very tricky to compensate by taking more because in some cases it turns out there is little tolerance developed, for example because of overruling circumstances in your set and setting. Add to that the unpredictability of potency of natural products and my concluding advice, too, is that you just take something like 3 grams or less and aim for a mild enhancement and not a full trip.
