How much can I dose and how often?

OK so everyone says that you should wait 2 weeks in between trips if you want to be safe. But does the amount I dose with make a difference?
For example, say I take an 8th of shrooms every 2 weeks... Is this the same as splitting an 8th every week?

No, you're psilocybin/psilocin tolerance will go away after about that time. Each time, you'll most likely get the full effects of the 8th

Who is this everyone?
One week is fine from everyone that I know...
Actually, I have heard everything from 4 days to 3 weeks... So two weeks is fine... But I think tripping that often will cause burn out and more lack luster trips...

When I was 18 tripping every week seemed appealing, but now that is just a dreadful thought. It'd lose the magic quickly. I'd rather dose epic a couple of times a year than to dose small every other week.

i personally like to dose epic every week 
i dont really notice a tolerance. tolerance, in my opinion at least, is something you have to worry about if youre taking a drug every day or multiple times a day.
one week between trips is plenty.

Doing an 8th every two weeks will be fine for a while, but you will find yourself either wanting more or the magic will lose itself. Probably a combination of both tbh. Do it for a while, no doubt, especially if you're new to the scene, but don't be surprised if you find that tripping maybe once a month or once every two months sounds more appealing and better for your sanity than every week.
I definitely suggest new shroom users have a little fun for a month or 3 though. I know I did.
Its to the point now though, that with shrooms, my super small grow will barely take care of a heroic dose for me and a friend twice a month I think.

If you wait about a week between doses, you can take as much as you want and still get the same effect (assuming you are taking the same amount). However, as someone else has already stated, tripping this often can 'make the magic go away', and kind of make the experience routine, which is the exact opposite of what you're going for.

Haha! Yeah, I know. I used to be the same twenty years ago. But now I am almost 40. Don't get me wrong, I still love to go on psychedelic journeys (hence my "Loc:"), I just can't see myself doing it as excessively as back in the days ever again. Shift in priorities, I guess.

And just body break down with age. I'm still very young, so I can fry away and not worry about the body load the next day or my brain getting too tired. No offense to you or anyone else, but I imagine that at 40 (literally just under twice my age) would be very different and much more stressful on the body

Sometimes I think that even a week is not a long enough time for the average person to recover from a psychedelic experience, especially a very heavy one. I've found this to be almost instinctual after higher doses. I've never heard anyone say that want to trip again really soon after eating 5+ grams or a 10 strip of decent blotter.
It's important to be aware of your mental state after tripping frequently so you can identify any abnormalities that have appeared in your psyche because of the tripping, and then make an effort to trip less, or take lower doses.
The key is being aware!

Timmy Leary & T Mckenna tripped til they were way older then 40. Especially on heroic doses. I don't think age especially at 40 is going to be wear and tear on the body. Just my two cents.

Those guys are some special cases, clearly. Leary probably heroic dosed harder on pure LSD-25 than you or I could comprehend alone, let alone both of them.

I don't think weekly tripping is a big deal as long as you DO NOT integrate. By integrating, you are trying to incorporate the nuttiness into your life somehow. You are attempting to find out just where the otherworldly experiences fit into your existence. IMHO that is the real danger of frequent tripping because you are altering your worldview to include impossible or delusional or just plain wacky ideas. Treat it like a strange dream and you'll be fine. Shake it off, tell yourself it was intense and felt profound and powerful but know deep in your heart and mind that it is bullshit. That's the key to keeping your sanity for frequent users of these drugs.

I'm not worried about tolerances. Just wanna stay sane. I'll keep it down to once a month most likely.

It's entirely a personal thing. You will really have to figure out for you what you can do, and what has crossed the line. No two people are alike. Thus, none of us can tell you where your limit is.
Tolerance works in much the same way. I have met people who still have a noticeable tolerance after 2 weeks and some than can eat every few days with no noticeable tolerance effects.

Sometimes i will trip every 4 days or so for a few months(usually during rainy season or summer season)and and then sometimes i wont trip for months at a time. You'll be fine either way unless you got a screw loose. Actually ive noticed more physical energy and better mental concentration when i trip more often.
I recommend if you going to trip often dont do the same thing over and over. Find something new and interesting to do. And if you feel like if you're not enjoying it as much take a long break.
