5g mexican - Second trip felt flat and uncomfortable after a great first one — what went wrong?

Hey everyone,

Last week (Friday) I had a really beautiful trip — 20g of truffles + 3g of Golden Teachers. It was deeply introspective, calm, and overall a very meaningful journey, even though I didn’t have a lot of visuals.

This week, exactly one week later, I decided to trip again. I did Lemon Tek (first time this big dose and lemon tek) with 5g of Psilocybe Mexicana dried mushrooms. The first 20 minutes were pretty visual but nothing special, but after that, the whole experience turned kind of uncomfortable. The vibe felt off, the music didn’t sound pleasant, and I didn’t get into that introspective state at all. It wasn’t a bad trip exactly, but it just didn’t feel good or deep like the previous one.

My setup and mindset were good — I was at home, felt safe, and had everything prepared properly. I journal daily and work on myself, always work with intention of what I want to receive from them.

So I’m wondering:

• Was one week between trips too short?
• Could it have been the strain (Mexican Psilocybe)? - i grew them and dehydrated them as soon as i recoltated them, everything was done by the bookc, so pottency shouldn’t be an issue.
• Or maybe I just didn’t dose right?

Has anyone else experienced something like this — where the second trip, soon after a strong one, just feels kind of “off”?

Should I wait longer next time or adjust the dose?

Would love to hear your thoughts and how to prepare for the next trip. I want to take 7g of thai mushrooms next. How much time should I wait?
