measuring doses

[mothershabooboo]

Gday,

Anyone know any fairly accurate ways to measure a dose of dried shrooms without using scales? I'd be looking at probably a 2g dose.. any ideas?

 

[Psychadelic_Paisly]

by eye.
you'll need scales or know the weight of something else that weighs the same.

Excuse me?

I'm sure you could pull out some kind of approximation using your eyes or by comparing with something that you know weighs 2g, but that's going to be fairly unreliable, not fairly accurate!

Want accuracy, buy scales.

Unfortunately, if you don't use scales, the word accurate will not apply in any way. Someone may be able to offer you a rough guide on how many dried mushrooms is an approximate 2g dose, however that invovles a series of assumptions because they don't know how big yours are, how strong they are, or how dry they are... or indeed what species.

Don't laugh Dim_Mak, I've seen people weigh *stuff*, in certain supermarkets.

Just go by eye (asuming your ready for a two gram dose)... mushrooms can be so unpredicatble anyway it shouldn't matter if your a LITTLE under or over

Yeah exactly, either way you're gonna get your ass kicked

If the person has never had mushrooms before how are they going to estimate what 2g is? Is there any way that people could hazard a guess at mushroom doses, if they knew the mushrooms were psychoactive and dried?

Is it 1 "avg. sized mushroom"?
Is it 2 "avg. sized dried mushrooms"?
Is it 10 "avg. sized dried mushrooms"?

Or is it always so different that you, as an experienced mushroom eater, would not recommend any suggested dose range of said dried psychoactive mushrooms?

Do you know what type of mushrooms they are?

Your dosage varies a lot between species. I have only ever dosed on Psilocybe subaeruginosa, and i usually have no more then 3 fresh, or 4 to 5 dried.
I only dose by number of shrooms, not weight. One small shroom can be twice as strong then a large one.

I have also comsumed by crushing my dried fungi into a powder and eating 2 teaspoons. How about you eat 4 and wait a few hours before re-doseing? Better yet, find out what species they are and get back to us.

Best to start small and work your way up.
