Hi folks, a live trip report...

8:30pm - got a third of a baggie from a friend of what I believe to be P. cubensis. He said to eat a couple of dried caps, wait 45 minutes, and then repeat. I grind 2 caps in a coffee grinder and dump it into a cup of grapefruit juice. Start watching Finding Nemo (colorful, so I figure it will be a nice tripping movie.)

9:15pm - 45 minutes, nothing. Had a glass of wine on an empty stomach. Go back and re-grind 3 more caps in the grinder and dump in another cup of grapefruit juice (I hear it intensifies the effect). Back to the movie, but not really feeling much of anything except the wine.

10:00pm - still not feeling much of anything, so I take 3 more caps and grind them up in a cup of grapefruit juice. Starting to feel stightly buzzed but nothing special or out of the ordinary.

10:40pm - I feeling slightly buzzed but obviously, since I'm typing this with few mistakes, I don't feel much of an effect. There's a little dullness in the center of my head, but again, it could be the wine. I went back and chewed three more caps, and I'm starting to feel a slight dullness in my head. Hopefully this will continue.

11:10pm - The effect I'm feeling now is that I feel like I had a half-drag off of some average pot. No visuals, no other-worldly experiences. I am having a bit more trouble typing and spelling correctly. I've been watching some MilkDrop visuals off of WinAmp (listening to trance - DJ Santana's Nirvana which is great for rolling). It's been mildly amusing.

Am I dosing correctly? I have searched and everyone talks about eigths and grams, but getting down to simple caps would be helpful. Am I completely under-dosing here? It isn't doing much.

Thanks in advance,

The shrooms are not psychoactive or the grapefruit juice is causing them to be inactive (but I would doubt the latter). Also, caps is a poor method of measurement for shrooms; the whole mushroom is psychactive and caps vary muchly in their size and weight.

Grapefruit juice very doubtfully enhances shrooms as well..
 
I appreciate the feedback. I took a shower with my wife and sobered right up (from the wine). I'm now stone sober (11:50pm) and I'm very dissappointed that I spent $120 on this bag of nothing.

Oh well.

You should have taken them all at once, taking it in increments will only make whatever effect they have last longer and in this case there wasn't much effect. Shrooms can be fucking powerful so don't underestimate them next time you try them.

get some scales and weigh out the dosage next time. caps vary in size too much.

how much was in the bag you bought.. $120 sounds alot for shrooms ??
 
I paid that much for a third of a quart-sized baggie of dried shrooms. Yes, it does seem like alot, but I've never bought or consumed shrooms before, so I had no idea. I thought 5-6 caps would be all I needed, and there seem to be about 25 small caps in the bag (with long stems).

I am feeling quite ripped off today.
