of shrooms?

i've taken LSD 17 times. shrooms 10 times. but i've never taken a trip as extreme at 7 grams of shrooms.

i feel it was make me face demons i've never faced.

i feel it wouldn't be a great trip, but i could handle it.

i have really good shrooms right now, p. cubensis. 1 or 2 grams makes me trip balls. should i take 7 grams. i just wanna face it.
 
if they are real good, i'd take 5 grams, i've done them loads of times but 7 and above it gets pretty fucking strange bro.
 
if you have to ask someone other than yourself. the answer is not yet. eat an eighth, maybe a cap more for good measure.

youll face your demons when it is time to. you cant cheat destiny, bro.
 
I've done 5 grams at once, and that's what McKenna called a 'heroic dosage'....very powerful. To be honest, though, if you're even thinking about it, you may as well just do the whole 7, you only live once.

If I were you though, I wouldn't want to face my demons alone at 7 grams - I'd have somebody with me to keep my spirits up, but that's just me.

Also, I would personally never do 7 grams of shrooms if only because, if you're doing that much, it's going to be a hell of a trip, and usually that's not too pleasurable or aesthetically pleasing. For example, I love to smoke up a gram of weed over the course of an afternoon, but to go through a whole quarter??? It wouldn't even be fun halfway through. Totally different substances and experiences, I know, but I'm just saying.

However, that's just me - if you don't mind, go for it.
 
do 5 on your own in silent darkness, that will be challenging enough, 7 with anyone present other than a very skilled sitter will be waaaaaaay out there. for both of you.
 
I know some people here have eaten upwards of 10...look in trip reports. I wouldn't do it, but it should make for interesting reading at any rate! ;)
 
If you really need to spice things up, you could also try taking them with harmala alkaloids. Not too sure about dosage, but 1-2g should make for one hell of a trip if you do that.

Btw, can we please stop calling huge doses 'heroic'? You're not saving a princess out of Bowser's slimy hands, nor are you saving a puppy from a fire. There's nothing heroic about taking a boatload of mushrooms just for the satisfaction of your own ego.
 
Very high doses permanently dull low doses. People who take very high doses find they can get less benefit from low doses anymore and they tend to end up in a progression of increasing maximum doses and increasing minimum doses. The result of this is loss of magic.

I have tripped for 20 years and I'm as highly sensitive as ever, having always honored the low dose.

If you want to burn out on psychedelics take those 7 grams. If you'd like shrooms to strike you with awe for many years to come, don't exceed 1/8 oz.

In the 60s there were two types of psychedelic therapy: that of modest doses often repeared and that of enormous doses once or twice in a lifetime. Enormous doses often repeated is a dead end road. Something has got to give, it will either be your sensitivity, your sensory integrity or your sanity.

While that may be a tendency for some, it is not a truism for all. After having done large doses of mushrooms, I still find low doses very rewarding; I look for different things from a 1 gram mushroom trip than from a 6g+ trip.

OP; if you have a sufficient quantity of mushrooms, you might try eating all caps for a dose.

It couldn't hurt to have a sitter.

well we cannot say if you are ready or not, only YOU can know it
i'd say go for it but do it in a comfortable set/setting
at your house with nothing to do/worry about the days after should be perfect, also keep some benzos if you can acquire them (preferably some fast acting benzo like alprazolam) and be prepared for everything

I agree with this. If you have to ask you are not ready because when the going gets rough you'll have to see it through and can count on no one but you and God.

he is right McKenna does say that 5grams is a heroic dose. But he also says that if your not at least somewhat apprehensive about going into the trip your not gonna gain much out of it and it is basically a recreational trip instead of a meaningful trip. Swim would take the 7 and isolate and meditate and gain something meaningful from the trip
 
We are not here to make such decisions for you, that is your own responsibility and you have to consider a lot of personal factors we couldn't possibly consider since we don't know you. So please don't ask us flat out "should I do this?" in the future but instead ask for advice on the matter, thanks. :)

Regardless, for any person jumping from about 1-2 to 7 grams is an unreasonably big jump and it would be like diving off the deep end without properly making sure how well you can swim.
Always titrate your doses: meaning that it is wise to work your way up in reasonable increments like adding a gram every time as long as you can 'keep up'. Mushooms are natural products meaning that the potency can vary a lot even within one batch, you can circumvent that a bit by pulverizing your shrooms and mixing that up. It will make the potency more consistent the more you mix the pieces or powder. Use a grinder if you have one, though be aware that powder can form 'dust clouds'.

I think many people will tell you this (because I have read it so many times!): when deciding on taking high doses of mushrooms like this plan of yours, people sometimes think 'what's the worst that could happen? I can just try it', but overdosing on mushrooms can be horrible and torturous.

Also consider that you have nothing to lose by taking smaller steps, and investing time / patience and shrooms are relatively small sacrifices compared to the possibility of unwanted extreme experiences.
Do not be afraid that it could never be exciting and adventurous or wild or demon-facing as taking a big leap. That would be underestimating psychedelics, especially mushrooms, and considering the fact that you can always take an extra step and go further a next time. You can always try higher next time, but you cannot take it back if you overdosed. If you jump up with 1 gram each time I promise you will still be facing your inner demons and angels soon enough.

Not learning this on forehand was probably one of the worst things I ever did. And I didn't even go to 7 grams.

safe journeys and have fun!

One last thing, I'm a psychedelic hardhead and have been eating mushrooms straight out the fields since high school. Used to eat cubensis the size of flap jacks n then some.
Then one weekend during jazz fest in New Orleans a couple years ago, someone gave me a quarter of some amazing fungi. Told me to start w a 16th and see how I felt..not to even consider all of it.
Well, I ate em..and woke up on the side of the road by myslef hardly able to see;got back to my apt and the walls were covered on blood where I fell numerous places..it appeared at some point based on the aftermath that I had try to get some eggs to eat and sober up..but the eggs were all over my wall as if I was attempting to cook them on the wall or catch them in the pan..pssh ill never know. Finally put myself down w some whiskey, and when I came to I had 3 serious burns on my chest. I zombie walked my way to the den and packed my sidecar full of dmt..almost a Gz worth. Burnt myself all up. Absolutely no recollection, bro :/

Mushrooms are unpredictable. They seem to cause blackouts more than most other psychs aside from high dose L. The best advice is what some have said; eat a little over half that by yourself and them decide if you're down or psychedelic wipeout. It's like the world flips you off of your feet bc your watching the roots grow out of the ground. Haha.
Be safe and have fun!
