SF!
so i bought some shrooms, an eight, very strong gold capped. I'm doing it on Sunday but i kinda wanna do a little before that so I know what I feel like when I actually start shrooming. If I take like half a stem will i feel anything? like a preview? I just want to know what to expect with a small doasage. Even like if a stem or cap will work.
 
It totally depends on the potency, which can vary quite a bit. If you want a preview you would likely need to eat a little more then that. Say a stem and 2 caps (again size can vary quite a bit)?
 
Smaller doses don't really feel the same until you get high enough to have a proper trip. Taking that high of a dose would be more like moving your trip forward a couple days than trying in advance. Also, if you do take enough to feel much tonight, then you'll probably have a little tolerance which will make Sunday night less intense.

Feeling unprepared for your first trip is perfectly natural. It's a good sign, in fact, because it shows that you've done some research and know that it will be a pretty intense experience. Your best bet is to make sure you have a good set and setting and just dive in.

Depending on how potent your eighth is, you could probably get away with splitting it into 2 doses of 1.5-2g apiece. An eighth isn't a crazy high dose by any means, but it's on the higher end of the average dose range. Most people I know take between 2-4 grams on average.
 
IME with psychedelics such as mushrooms, you either take the plunge or you don't. Even if you felt effects from taking a tiny amount to "test" it, these threshold effects cannot really give you an idea of what the full fledged effects have in store for you.

Okay. Thanks! I'm gonna save it for Sunday. They're really high potency Goldcapped with blue stems. My friend tried them and she really likes them. Would I feel the effects if I split this with three people? Would it last 4-6 hours? And also, would mollie with that be a good idea?

If you split it evenly with two other people you would have just over a gram a piece, which should be a pretty timid experience but it would be atleast somewhat active. I would just split them with one other person. That might be a more worthwhile dose.
 
^I don't think so. The mycellium is weak in psilocybin, but present; I would have thought that the actual fruit contains the most, to ward off predators/human-trippermachines...
 
The stem is part of the fruit. Afaik caps have slightly more psilocybin/psilocin content than stems but not much, its pretty well spread throughout the fruit. Im just pulling this out of me memory banks though. Erowid has info on the subject somewhere.

I don't think the idea that the alkaloids are created to deter predators has any weight to it willow. Otherwise young cacti would contain enormous amounts of mescaline because they're soft and suculent. It's the rock hard, grotty, old cacti that no animal is going to eat which contain the highest levels of mescaline.
 
stems are notorious for turning blue. this blue coloration is a breakdown of psilocin, meaning theres a decent amount in the stems, im sure its pretty close to the amount in the caps.

as for the shrooming question. a trip is always a crazy experience, ive done many psychedelics and even shrooming catches me off guard sometimes. but dont let it freak you out, its definitely a fun time and especially if done in the right environment and setting.

I'm going to have to agree with this. Taking a small dose you're just left half tripping. Which is just annoying. You can't get into the trip enough to really enjoy it or find out what it's like, but you're not sober enough to do your normal things very well (or at least without finding things awkward).

Yeah, I've always been sort of sceptical about that too. At least with cactii- one would think that the spikey's are deterrent enough. I do imagine that mushrooms- well, the spores being as hardy as they are- don't especially want to be ignored (excuse the huge anthropomorphism there).

Problem is, not all psilocybin containing mushrooms do turn blue when oxidised; afaik, its not related to the alkaloids. And mushrooms that don't contain psilocin/psilocybin can stain blue too. Stropharia spp. generally don't turn blue...

Anyhow, I digress.
 
The first time I ever ate mushrooms I had ut a stick, perhaps .20 of a gram and I certainly felt altered, poetic, and of a very different mindset than sober or stoned, I was 16 and very excited about it though, the next day I ate 2.5 grams with noted effects then the next day about 5 grams with...massive effects.

I could likely feel a half gram of mushrooms or less.
