2.5-3gs would be a good trip. depends on what you want. If you just want to feel the basic effects maybe see some visuals take 1.5-2gs but if you want to trip balls take 3.5, that being said, be warned because 3.5 will kick your ass for 6 hours

Yeah pretty much what this person said. 3g max for your first time. Just be mindful that your tolerance goes way up after a dose so it will take a few days for your tolerance to come back down. Taking the same dose or smaller back to back doesn't really work. You won't get the same effects on day 2 as you did day 1. So no matter how good you first ride was it's important to take a few days to really absorb the trip and then your ready for another take off.

Why would anyone want to take mushrooms 2 days in a row?

I’ve never understood how people have that desire lol it’s always such a challenging experience in one way or another.

Unstable people ( people going through shit) those kinds of people are usually chasing a high and are likely dose more frequent.

Maybe they tried too tame of a dose, and they want to see what a larger dose can do e.g. some people are telling him to take 0.5 to 1 gram.

I would start with 2 grams. Also you should look into making a tea with them. Hits way faster and it's easier to stomach. Especially if you've never eaten them before.

I would suggest the lemon tek to avoid any stomach aches.

thank you so much!!

Lemon tek might not be a good idea for the first time as it shortens and intensifies the trip. Best to go low to see how you respond and try again in a few weeks if it turned out too mild.

I agree lemon tek shortens, intensifies and avoids stomach problems. But i think a more leisurely trip would be best just by putting the crumbled up dried shrooms on a peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich. I never had any stomach problems in any version i took, but just to be safe for my first trip i avoided eating anything for about a day before i ate the sandwich.

Lemon tek is just sour tea: https://www.reddit.com/r/shrooms/comments/dbfrma/cmv_lemon_tek_is_just_a_sour_tea/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

So unless you like your tea extremely sour, I'd say making regular mushroom tea is a better idea.

How do u make the tea? Just steep them in hot water?

2
Big_J95•

It's pretty easy honestly and IMO it's 100% worth it. First chop up the mushrooms, then make regular tea as normal if you want to flavor it or just boil water (I add lemon juice because it supposedly helps with the extraction) once it's boiling remove the water from heat and let sit for 2-3 minutes, add mushrooms and let sit for 5-10 minutes, strain mushrooms and drink.

tedbradly•

Do you ever eat the leftover mushrooms?

1
Big_J95•

Nope, they're rehydrated and sludgy if you cut the mushrooms up, so after I make my tea I toss the mushrooms.

I'm sensitive, 2 grams puts me out of this world. Most people aren't sensitive, but taking 3 gs to find out is a terrible idea lol. I'd say take no more than 2 grams. You can always take more, but you can't take less.

Same here, brother. 2G seems to do for me what people describe 3.5-4 grams do for them.

thank you! i was thinking about just doing a gram or 1.5 grams!

That would be perfect imo.

Hey there. This might be an unpopular opinion but I’d suggest starting with 0,5g - 1g of shrooms. I wouldn’t consider myself a seasoned psychonaut but after a dozen or so acid trips I thought I was ready for shrooms, more precisely, 2 grams using the lemon tek method.

This trip was my first real bad trip. Bad Trips can happen for a bunch of reasons and it’s mostly not the substance causing it, but some underlying problems/issues. But for me, this trip was just too much to handle. I doubt that I had extremely potent shrooms but these 2gs really turned everything into a smooth cartoon and nothing looked familiar anymore. The closed eye visuals were intense asf. I’ve never tried dmt but the intensity of these visuals in such detail and colourfulness was unexpected. All in all it would’ve been a great intense trip if it wasn’t for my mental state at the time or whatever caused the bad trip.

What I’m trying to say: the intensity of the trip scared me, although I’ve tried shrooms and truffles before, acid, salvia and 2CB. Therefore, might want to consider a lower dose like the ones suggested above.

Best of luck and please don’t let my experience hold you back or anything.

Please check PsychonautWiki wiki for this type of questions. But 1g to 2g is a good beginner dose, i had a blast on 1.5g my first time and it is a sensible dose, but anything more than that could put you at risk of having an unenjoyable or too intense experience as a first timer.

How much you GOT? lol

i wanted to wait until i got other’s opinions before i bought from my dealer lolll

I was joking brother. like everyone said 1-2 1/2 'should' do it. Me I like trip balls knowing that it's a waste to do more than one time in a few days so I just take a 1/2 wait for a hour or so then take the rest. # Astronaut In Da Ocean

i appreciate. imma wait until im more experienced to up the dose

HamsterBaiter•

No fault in that. But if you only eat a gram or two there might not be much experience. Have fun tho. Don't fight it. Ride it like a wave.

It depends on the shroom and how it is grown. For examples, Cube's grown in the near-dark are two or three times stronger than those grown under indirect bright light (per scientific studies). P. Cyancens are mostly collected outdoors and they are at least twice as strong per gram as cubes.

Google "shroomfest primer". That will give you all the info you need to know about shrooms.

Peanut butter and toast put them on top

Make quarter gram portions out of 6 grams. Take one, wait, take another. Spend the afternoon getting ur feet wet. Once u hit 3g, eat a meal, and bomb the next 3g in one go. Turn on boombox, Hop in the shower ;]

Testing ur tolerance w micro dosing is a great way to get into this stuff. The mushroom experience can be sort of "gripping" 😬 so it's best to start low and go slow

1
tedbradly•

If you want to go through an insane experience, you could try a heroic dose, which is 7.5 grams or more. And do it while you're really hungry too. The idea is that maybe religions started when starving cavemen ate a ton of shrooms they found and tripped.

all of them...

3g but get 4-ho-met that is mutch better. 20mg 4-ho-met if you shoose that

_PM_ME_CHEETOS_•

dude i think its a poor idea to introduce someone who cant even find the resources to figure out a good shroom dose for beginners to the world of research chemicals

4
Rhytm81•

Yes but he can read info and tripp rapports and 4-ho-met is whay better than to try shrooms for first timer becouse 4-ho-met is clearheaded and that is not shrooms. So he get some clearens on what its about.

Rhytm81•

I change to 2.5g of shrooms and get golden teacher it is easily the best sort or get 4-ho-met and take 15mg first time becouse you dont get head fuck on 4-ho-met like shrooms you are clearheaded on 4-ho-met not on shrooms but if you like to get deep then take 3-4g golden teacher. Good luck but you mabe have taken already? If so how did it go?
