How many g of 'shrooms do I need for a well-powered trip?

[aSupremeGentleman]

Hey, I'm a new member. I'm planning to buy 2g of 'shrooms next week. The species is Psilocybe subaeruginosa, said to be slightly more potent than the common Psilocybe cubensis. I'm wondering how many grams I will need to have a well-powered trip. I'm planning to trip on shrooms on the night of September 28 this year because apparently God has scheduled an uncommon 'Blood Moon' for that night (for the fourth time this year, I've heard) and I want to see it while tripping and feel like a werewolf.

I've used LSD once, so perhaps I've set a pretty high benchmark in terms of the power of psychedelic trips, but this isn't at all to say I have a tolerance to them. I used LSD all the way back in June.

2 grams,shouod get you a,pretty nice high.firstvtime I did mushrooms I took an,eigth and thats,prettyvmuch whatvi considered my standard dose,whenever I wouod trip but its,weird idk why but I can take 2 gram and get pretty strong effects.
Youll definstly have an awsome fun time from 2 but if you really wanna take off eat an eighth

Buuuut then,again,depends on the mushroom id think.

Don't start with an eighth. Don't underestimate mushrooms they have the ability to scare the shit out of people and can be kind of dark at times. They can also be a blast but they can be confusing if you take a lot. Always respect mushrooms and don't take them lightly. I'm not familiar with that particular type of mushroom but if they are more potent than cubes than start with less than 2 g for your first time. Shrooms vary quite a bit in potency and people tend to dose them too high. Most people consider an eighth a pretty strong experience.

Welcome to BL. You might want to get a feel for the different forums as this would have been more suited for PD. You would get more responses over there too. Cheers.

im pree sure it also varies with each person. first time i ate shrooms i ate 5g of cubes and only had a body high. didnt have any psychedelic trip. kind of dissapointing, so never tried em again.

Do you suppose 1g would give me a decent trip, or should I consume 2g?

Most mushrooms these days are pretty potent, 1 gram should be more than enough.

You can always take more, but you can't un-take drugs...

Welcome to BL.
I also think you should start with a lower amount.

Exactly.

Magic Mushrooms Right Dosage - important for tripping!

Most mushrooms these days are pretty potent, 1 gram should be more than enough.

Are you sure? Long time ago I took the last time magic mushrooms (aöproxematly 3g dry) and now I want to "restart" this experience. BUT your statement that "1 gram should be enough" is in my humble opinion insufficient! First the effect of psilocybin depends on the certain shroom strain (there a higher and lower psilocybin strains). And moreover, (and for me the important point) the dosage is THE key to a well and nice mushroom trip!
One should compare the dosage with the trip level one want to reach. Therefore you have to take a look at such table, f.e. the following which I quickly translated into english:

So with this help one is able to find the right dosage for avoiding bad or worse horrortrips. I remember in my "mushroom times" that we took at least 2g dry psilos. The maximum dosage was over 6 gramm dry shrooms one time and one of our most and deep experiences in life ever!

Ok, hope I could help you with all of that. Tell us what you did and feel
