 Potency in America vs. Europe

I've been ranting a bit about this in ADM as well, but I've never gotten closer to any answers. Anyway, my point is this:
Are black market psilocybin mushrooms in the USA inherently weaker than the european ones?
I know this may seem like a ridiculous claim, but I've seen evidence to support this. In most trip report I've read from american people, they eat at least 3.5 grams (1/8 oz) to get to level 2 or 3. However, most of the people I've discussed this with here in Noway trip their balls off on 2 grams of the same species, Psilocybe Cubensis. I've reached level 5 on 2 grams myself, so when I see Joshua eating seven grams of dried
Azurescens, I'm frightened. Lower potency, higher tolerance, afraid to admit their real threshold dosage? Beats me.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but this has puzzled me for a while now 
P.S: Most of the mushrooms on the norwegian market is probably imported from Holland, but I guess about 5-10% of it is home cultivated.

Well, I eat 2.5 - 4.5g of my cubies and I trip pretty hard. I think some* people just add a few grams when they're writing it out to make it seem like they took these massive amounts of mushrooms. Kinda like the guy everyone knows who says shit like "I smoked 3 ounces of pot last Friday"...

The liberty caps, which are the most predominant in the uk, are definitely stronger than cubes. I'd never had cubes until i started growing my own.
I usually take about 6-7 grams of dried cubes, but i have to admit to being a bit of a freak when it comes to taking halucinogens. And no I'm not exaggerating. 6-7 grams will get me to about level three. I'd need about ten grams, or more, to go all the way (which I've never done on cubes).
But i don't take any other drugs of any description, and i also live on a pure vegan diet, which is like being on an extreme continuous detox. One of the reasons I think that some people's thresholds are lower is because they have too many toxins in their brains contraindicating with the halucinogens.
I used to smoke tobacco, and was an extreme alcoholic, and the difference those made to tripping is unbelievable, a lot more intense. If you've spent years tripping like that, then tripping clean and detoxified is very peaceful and calm and one is able to deal with - and requires - much more mushroom.

Interesting points of view from KillerClown and Mr. Wobblehead.
luvdemshrooms: I guess we're lucky, then. Saves us a lot of money  But seriously, think about where you originate. My bet is you have european genes... Unless you're african american, native american or something like that of course.
Hm. There could be genes for alkaloid tolerance as well, don't you think? Is that probable at all?

Do so few here have a sense of humor?
Or is it just you? Or did you just miss >>>
Or should we assume Norwegians are just slow?

i don`t see how there could be a diffence, if there the same species and grown the same way ,and if there dried properly .doesn`t seem possible.
but you know us americans we like more of everything

Did you read my post? Are you sure you're not the one being slow? Read it again.
Notice I did return your joke. Notice I did include a smiley. Notice I tried to get the
intellectual discussion going again. Drop the offensive attitude. Stop generalising.
Smoke your socks and chill out, damn it.

Hehe, yeah, I guess that's the reason, then
It just seems strange... I'd understand it if there were a few people who take triple the dosage of what I do. I mean, tolerance varies, but when the general light to medium dose is 1/8 oz, there's something going on.

I'm definitely with Chinacat on this one... I mean how would it be different? Maybe people are growing more carefully in Europe or something, but technically this is IMPOSSIBLE.

Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me.

In reply to:

I did read your post. Or does seriously not mean the same thing in Norway? Does seriously translate to "just kidding"?
I don't have an offensive attitude. Athough stupid people annoy me. Since I don't know you I'll assume your not stupid and you just don't have a clear understanding of the word "seriously".

Come on, let's not drown this thread in flames. I have to defend myself, though:
I had a more or less humorous tone at first, then I switched to a more serious one to get the discussion started again. Don't you ever joke about something, and then say "no, seriously though" or something like that to get back to the subject?
> I don't have an offensive attitude.
Then why do you attack people for being serious in their own threads? Relax, man.
> Athough stupid people annoy me. Since I don't know you I'll assume your not stupid
> and you just don't have a clear understanding of the word "seriously".
Let's be a little more off topic, shall we?
your
adj. The possessive form of you.
Used as a modifier before a noun: your boots; your accomplishments.
1) A person's; one's: The light switch is on your right.
2) Informal. Used with little or no sense of possession to indicate a type familiar to the
3) listener: your basic three-story frame house.
you're
Contraction of you are.
Sorry, that was unnecessary. I appreciated your joke, I had a bit of a laugh (although I didn't show it by typing down a throb of smilies), and I tried to get the discussion going again. If serious discussions intimidate you, I suggest you butt out of my thread and head over to the OTD forum.
Can we please stop now?
For the record:

Got me on your / you're. I rarely make that mistake but someone always spots it when I do.
You relax. I wasn't attacking. You'd know it if I was.
Of course it wasn't spot on topic since I was responding to a comment from you.
Since you haven't been here long I'll clue you in on something. Serious or humorous discussions don't bother me.
In reply to:
Can we please stop now?
What fun would that be?

Definately Just Pussies. Europeans grab some shrooms in between tea and some shortbread cookies. Americans grub on the shrooms in between some Budwiser and a and a bong hit. L8r.

Mabey it just depends on the experience of the grower. I consider myself a sensitive user, usualy 1g dried of B+ gets me to a nice level 2. I had 9 grams once and I was mentaly lost for a few hours. My friend forgot where "up" was and was stuck on the toilet for 45 min! The only way to make sure is to come down here and try some of ours , and don't forget to bring some of yours...

Now that is a lovely weed, the greenhouse bred it and they won the high times cup about three or four years in a row with the stuff. Next time you're over go to Amsterdam and pop in the Greenhouse and have a go at the Neville's Haze (that'll fuck you up ). Lovely.
I haven't smoked for months, and won't until i go over to Amsterdam next April. Then I'll get twatted big time.

I've been to the us and tried your piss water beer. Not one bar i went into had a real beer glass 24 oz. American pints are only 16 ounces because you feel so inadequate in your drinking abilites. Give up the Bud and drink real beer - Carlsberg Special Brew, though i have to warn you it's not for pussies!
Have you ever smoked good Euro weed?
And I'll munch more shrooms than any yank, any time.
