How does 1.7g compare to 3.5g of cubes?
    #12988108 - 08/01/10 10:58 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

About a month ago I had my first experience with mushrooms, along with a friend. We each ate a whole eighth and had a rough night in the woods. No lights, no fire, pouring rain.... It was very overwhelming for my first mushroom trip.

Anyway, I will be eating mushrooms again tomorrow and I was gonna split an eighth with my friend who hasn't done them yet and we'll camp out. The friend who I ate mushrooms with on that overwhelming first time is also going to be tripping with us. However, I'm thinking I might just buy a whole 3.5g and eat it all because when I ate 3.5g last time the pouring rain and being in the middle of the woods without fire or lights made the experience kind of bad.

I think I would love 3.5g if I ate that much tomorrow, because the weather is good and we have an awesome place for camping; no rain like last time. My question is: Just how much different is 1.7g compared to 3.5? Because I don't want to end up splitting an eighth if it's not going to be a strong trip.

It isn't overwhelming usually. Light visuals and a good body feeling. If you want visuals like you got from an eighth, you will probably be disappointed.

For me, 2-2.5 or so is the perfect dose usually, unless I want to trip my face off.

Every time I eat an eighth of mushrooms it is a crazy night...

It totally depends on the shrooms.  I've had some incredibly potent shrooms that have put me on my ass at 1.7 or so. 

Usually though, I'd go for the full eighth.  You might want to be on the same level as your friend so only take half.  But if you want a more intense experience and feel prepared, go for the higher dose.

I would say if you've already eaten 3.5 g. in the past, and know what its like, go for it again.  If your mindset and setting are all groovy this time, should be fan-fuckin-tastic.

I agree with this

In mushrooms potency varies so much. I had only had cubensis mushrooms before and used to eat 2.5-3grams as a normal does, but when I found some of the P Subaeruginosa mushies here, they knocked me on my arse off just 2 grams (was actually glad I hadn't gone for the 3 LOL as when I ate them I was wondering whether it was going to disappoint!).

Another thing worth mentioning is that whenever I have tried to re-dose during the trip to make it stronger, it has never worked - my good friend also finds this. I put this down to the body developing a quick tolerance to the drug. I feel that you can only have a strong trip roughly once a week on mushies, anymore and you notice tolerance.

I think you'll be a little disappointed if you only ate 1.7 grams. There's a big difference between these two dosages.

I even find my 3 gram trips much stronger than my 2.5 gram trips. It's only half a gram, but it makes a lot of difference.

Maybe the strong half gram difference will be different when I try another method of ingestion because in the past I used to put them in orange juice. Maybe the difference in strength between 2.5 and 3 gram in tea will be different.

Unless your grinding them all down and mixing all of it together, the potency of the trip will also vary by how many mushrooms are taken. When I am trying to equally dose several people, I divide the mushrooms up more by size than weight, as 4 small mushrooms will almost always be more potent than a single mushroom of equal weight.

Goooo for the full 8th. You already know what to kind of expect. I took an 8th my first time and haven't knocked down the dosage yet.

Word, anything below 3.5 is rather unsatisfactory
5 grams is where the visuals show themselves:trippinballs:

We were gonna get three eighths but we could only get two. Since there were three of us and one hasn't had mushrooms yet (Chuckie), we gave him about 1.7 grams. Me and my other friend Andrew divided the rest between us, which was about 5.2 grams; so I had about 2.6 grams. We made peanut-butter mushroom sandwiches,(which I thought was funny at the time because that's my name on the shroomery) and ate them on the way to a field not too far from our camping area.

This was the most profound experience of my life. I enjoyed it very much. I typed up a trip report which I will post the link to. Check it out, I think it is pretty interesting.

Here's the way I kind of think of it:

1.7g: A more social dose.  I wouldn't get any hallucinations.  Mentally, though, it's still a GREAT time. 

3.5g: I would not trip on this high of a dose with people who haven't done shrooms before.  I would definitely get some hallucinations (Regarding the first and only time I've done 3.5g, it was fall and I was walking in the woods and all of the sudden the leaves turned into empty egg cartons!).  Mentally, I am pretty fucked up.  I would be talking about crazy tripping things like life, the universe, physics, etc.

There's something I refer to as "tripping chaos", which is when I am tripping hard enough to the point where I can't function in society, might say things out loud without realizing it, have a HUGE smile on my face...  However, the aspect about tripping chaos that is most relevant is I can be sitting in a room alone with nothing happening, yet I feel like there is SO MUCH GOING ON AT ONCE!  It's like having a crazy party... in my head.

I know what you mean by the tripping chaos. Where really nothing is happening but it seems like there is so much going on at once.

Oh I forget to mention that "tripping chaos" occurs for me when I do 3.5g, not 1.7g.

Not everyone will experience it at 3.5g, but some will.  If somebody is comfortable with knowing that tripping chaos can happen to them then I think they're ready for 3.5g.  If they don't like the idea of tripping chaos then I would advise them to NOT take 3.5g and try 1.7.

Last week I ate 2g and tripped harder than I did earlier that week, with 3.7g. This may have been due to cross tolerence from 1&1/2 hits of acid 8 hours before. Eating 5 grams of shrooms is still socially stimulating for someone like myself.

For me:

1.7= minor visuals(shinyness, boundary blurring, colors enhanced),
body high(buzzing or heavy feeling)
sedation/excitation(depending on time and setting, trance party=Going nuts with glee where as nightime at home=mellowing out all night)
General feeling of wellness while still being aware of my surroundings.


3.5=Extreme body high(feeling like taffy, feeling wet when I'm not, intense weight, floating, and/or rushing)
Intense visuals(fractals, geometry, warping of facial features, flowing wood grains, growing plants, ect.)
Feeling of going insane but not sure of it, can lead to loops.
Occasional confusion(not understanding language or type)
Can get very emotional, positively or negatively

5+ =Immobility, slow motion vision, intense geometry, intense introspection.
