Mushrooms and how much to take?

[bluemanthief]

I'm curious as to how much mushrooms one should take.

I have heard roughly 1 gr. per every 100 lbs. of body weight. Is this accurate?

I've heard any less= just body high, not hard trip and any more=TRIPPIN.

I wanna know how much to take to be GOOD and have a good experience but not fuckin melt my face. Obviously it varies from person to person so I was curious if there is a guide.

Its hard because shrooms have different amounts of alkoloids. Home grown should be more potent then field shrooms imo. I would say around 1.5-2gs for homegrown and a eighth for field. This is from my experience, maybe y'all got some awesome shit in Cali. Field shrooms are so abundant that no one really grows here.

if youre a first timer I suggest a 1/4 oz....yeah I said it.......there is nothing like your first time and your going to trip balls no matter what but if you do as I say youll trip mega balls

^ Possibly not such a hot idea for a first timer that, Cyde

Most people suggest 1-2g for a first time and generally 1/16oz (1.7g) is the most common recommended dose to start off with.

Also, The Big and Dandy Psilocybin Mushrooms Thread - loads of info and a great place to ask any shroomy questions you may have. Have a great trip

I dunno I took 1/4 oz my first time

deadrich- actually field mushies are known to have higher potency than homegrown, on average.

OP- I recommend starting with 2g. If you enjoy your experience and feel like you could handle a heavier dose, then I would step up to an 8th.

Cyde- do you just get shitty mushrooms? Im not sure if I would ever take 7g of mushrooms again. It can be pretty overwhelming experience for someone who has never tripped on mushies before.

 

[Pharcyde]

nope they were good good good! I always took high doses of mushrooms.......3/4 of an ounce and a few times a whole ounce needless to say I was gooooooooooooone

 

[KPZ]

That is insane lol

I used to grow mushies and the highest dose I experiment with was 7-8g. I personally find lower doses to be much more enjoyable.

STRONGLY depends.

First of all, the weight most people suggest is for DRIED shrooms, so make sure they're flaky and crumbly and not at all moist.

I did 2.5g the first time and it had me flying high. My friend did 6g and he went wayyyy too far, had a miserable night.

I was talking to an overseas friend who told me he was buying 7g of shrooms. I warned him not to do it all at once. He listened to me and only did 3g. He barely felt it. His original 7g dose, suggested by the dealer, was enough to get him where 2.5g got me.

But yeah the basic idea is to undershoot, not overshoot. Try 2-3g your first time.

I think with shrooms, you can do more with less. I think experienced users learn how to "let themselves go."

I have a real good friend who eats half oz and shit all the time and never gets off the way I do and now I never take more than 4-5g. and mainly stick to eating 8ths.

 

[kbrad]

assuming they're good, a dub to an eighth will be perfect. Mushrooms tend to fuck with your head more than other psychedelics in my opinion. You want it to be both enjoyable and intense

 

[phatass]

i would say 2.5 grams of your average dried shrooms for a stroooong trip... if theyre hawaians then 1 gram dried max

 

[KPZ]

if theyre hawaians then 1 gram dried max

hawaiians are just another strain of cubes, they dont have a higher potency.

 

[Pharcyde]

That is insane lol.

yeah it was.........sometimes we would trip ike evferyday so I would end up having to, but if I just straight up ate an ounce I would be whacked off

 

[KPZ]

that makes sense. My neighbor is the same way, definitely watched him eat a whole oz. one night

 

[Pharcyde]

I mean its fun....when your tripping so hard the color comes and goes with your breathing but there is way more chest pressure than with small doses

THIS.
Nobody understands why I see so much shit, yet they mostly get mindfucks. All I really ever say is "let yourself go, go with the flow".

 

[rocker97x]

ive tripped a shitload on mushrooms and i gotta say,

to me, it is more enjoyable to take a lower does (1.7g or less) and go out and do really fun things than it is to take a higher dose and sit around mindfucked. Not to say i cant handle higher doses, i just enjoy the lower doses more.

 

[PerfectoPLease]

For a first timer 2g dried should be perfect as long as theyre not super potent. But even if they are and the experience is overwhelming, just remember that 'shrooms are the most natural, most gentle and safest psychedelic, and the ride will be over in just a couple hours.


PS, no one has suggested it yet, but to make the actual eating more pleasurable try grinding your shrooms down in a coffee grinder (provided theyre pretty dry). Melt down some chocolate chips (like the ones for cookies) or better quality chocolate if you desire. I just use a small ceramic ramekin to mix and mold but you could buy a cool shaped mold if it makes a diff to you, and ive seen ice cube trays used. Anyhoo let the chocolate cool just a bit and then stir in your ground goods, pop in the freezer for an hour and ENJOY! Since you will only be making one chocolate mix in the container you plan to freeze in and use a toothpick or similar item to stir so you dont lose precious fairy dust.
