even with an exactly wieghed dose you could have a harder or weaker trip. Also some people are more sensetive than others. It helps to know how much you start with and then just cut it up into even piles ect...

we ended up talking to them and they had a hugh bucket of freshly picked shrooms just sitting on their table.
they offered us some shrooms so we ate some. then we all just continuosly ate shrooms for the next week. an endless supply.
we never weighed doses, when you've got that many shrooms you don't really need to, as long as your fairly experienced and know what to do when things go bad.

i ate mushrooms for 5 or 6 years in 'heroic,' doses almost every time without ever using a scale, dried or fresh. can't say it was smart or stupid, but i can say i tripped every time and i'm not dead (lol)
eyeballing doses leads to very intense experiences if you ball them on the fat side though

I can usually eyeball a bag pretty well. Whenever I put it on the scale its usually pretty close to what i thought it would be. unnecessary step really.

You can make a homemade scale and use a nickel as the counter balance (it weighs exactly 5 grams).
It'd be pretty easy to make - use a ruler or something like that, with a cup glued on each end. FIRST, find the fulcrum point where it balances. Then add a nickel to one cup and shrooms to the other cup until it again balances. Voila! 5g of shrooms.
But honestly, you're better off either eyeballing them or dropping $12 for a digital gram scale. Check out www.pocketscales.com for a slew of very cheap, good digital scales.

oh, this is gonna be fun
Things only go bad if you want them to or resist the trip. That's the whole point...just accept and nothing else. No matter how hard you trip it will be magical if you just ride it out.

I have only ate doses up to ~ 1.5 grams but I always eyeball, no scale yet.
Also, has anyone read any of FellowGrower's other posts, like the old ones? The guy is pretty hilarious.
I like this one http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6991029#6991029

Yeah, what's with that drink recipe? You don't need 15 ingredients.
How 'bout some lemon juice, a dash of Sprite, and some powdered shrooms?

This was only a few years ago. I used to live very closeby (lennox) when the hippies where big there, your right it's nothing like that now. But there are still plenty people like that around, that's for sure, you just gotta find them.

I've never done anything else. I don't own a scale, fuck all that shit, eat your shrooms and trip, if it ended up more than you though, well just go with it, it won't kill you, fate just decided you need a bigger dose...
I like to leave most of it to fate.
