The Big & Dandy Highly Sensitive Psychedelics Users Thread

Yeah man low tolerance & high sensitivity are handy bedfellows! I extrapolate that people with high sensitivity tend to have lower tolerance but that might not necessarily ring true, it's just an assumption.

My first ever dose of methylone was 50mg Kishka. I usually have a half pill of Ecstacy so, assuming that on average pills are 100mg I used an equivelant dose of methylone. Whoops! I was mangled, had an intense discussions with my gf as we wandered round a wintery south London Park. Once the effects eased back a bit I added 25mg to the 50mg & that kept us both up all night. I think 75mg cost about a £1 prior to the UK Cathinone ban, so that was a fucking good value evening. Since then I refuse doses of more than 20mg & I often dose 10mg because I'm not fond of the heavy come-up. I usually end up having no more than 150mg in an evening & the most methylone I ever had was 300mg, which was a 24 hour clubbing session on the Costa Del Sol.

I have a tendency to halve, quarter or further divide any doses in Pihkal or erowid when I approach a new susbtance & my most interesting area of psychedelic research is seeking the hreshold dose for the lightest possible effect & documenting that dose & the effects it brings. For instance, I used to go out picking Liberty Caps, which I'd eat raw & return home to studio production work. 6 Libertys would bring a light stimulation & increased creativity without debilitating hallucinations perfect for working over a hot sythesiser. I wondered if any of the 4-subs might produce a similar effect at a fraction of the usual dose. I should add that my starting dose for something like 4-ho-met would be 5-7mg, a strong dose is 10mg for me & the most I ever had was 22.5mg spread out over an evening. So I tested a bunch of 4-subs at 1,2 & 3mg doses, hoping to replicate the effects of low dose Liberty Caps. I could not. Sub-active doses of the 4-sub brought effects that comprised only the negatives, nausea & discomfort, that lingered longer than it would during a normal dose trip. Dissapointing, but interesting to know...

5 mg 2C-E

Lol 5mg is plenty! I can see why Sasha loves this stuff! It's a monster psycehdelic in my experience. After taking 15mg & getting absolutely blow away I have been consistently lowering my doses of 2c-e.
 
However, with mushrooms I for one think that 3 or 3.5 grams (an 1/8th) is pretty aggressive or overly generous to consider a 'standard dose' like it used to be sold in smartshops and seems to be assumed over at communities like The Shroomery.
Maybe it qualifies as a full or strong dose like 200-250 ug of LSD instead of 100 ug, and it may be practical to provide people with at least enough should they want to trip very hard. But that is a different info pamphlet description than 'standard dose'.
I am still not sure if it's just me, if I am just very sensitive to mushrooms... or if more people would agree.


No I started eating mushrooms before the internet and always considered a dose 1-2 grams. I was actually surprised people were using 3.5 as the standard, I consider that quite big.

Except with weed. That's the only thing I'm sensative too. One hit, and I'm feeling sick as a damn dog

^^I swear to God I've smoked hydro that has gotten me higher than anything else. Full blown trips. Depending, on the situation I'll only smoke a little and be put into a full blown 1 hour trip.

I think with shrooms you need to work towards building a chill setup, be it people you are comfortable around, music that is really relaxing, and have a completely mellow vibe. Good warm weather, maybe not taking them indoors. And doing mushrooms when you are ready to do mushrooms. Stay ground level.

Randomly taking mushrooms in strange settings leads to really weird results. Mixing with alcohol should be avoided. Weed shouldn't be smoked. In saying that if you want to have that nightmare mode trip, than by all means.
 
The 1/8 oz of shrooms being standard is a bit misleading. The forum tigers insist that 1/8 oz is standard, but if you look at Shroomery's "The Great Mushrooms Poll" the average of thousands of users is closer to 2-2.5 grams. When here in holland the smartshops sold cubensis mushrooms, the typical amount they sold as a "portion" was 2.5gr dry or 25gr fresh, with the strict recommendation to start with half that if you're less experienced. Cubies are around 6mg Psilocybin pretty consistently, so the smartshops basically suggest taking 7.5-15mg psilocybin. 1/8oz by contrast averages out to 21mg Psilocybin. Note that all over the literature from the sixties onward the recommendation for a fullblown trip is 10-20mg Psilocybin and that "therapeutic doses" of pharmacological Psilocybin (Sandoz Indocybin) were 4-10mg -- 2-5 tablets of 2mg psilocybin each.

1/8 oz cubies contains roughly 10-40mg psilocybin, averaging 21mg. Obviously, thats WAY bold for a 10-20mg dose range that was extended from a 4-10mg recommendation by Hofmann himself.

I think the biggest factor in "1/8 oz = standard" is teenagers and people with a tolerance ( both categories of people who need a harder kick in the head for something to register)
 
Interesting that those psylocybin doses adhere quite closely to those I have used with the 4-subs!
 
I can definately feel a lot of effects (hallucinations, headspace, sounds distortion...) from 0.5gr of Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms also...
