Not quite what I had hoped

So i ate somewhere around 2.3 grams in grape juice for my first trip. after an hour i got really intense euphoria (like what i expected mdma to be like, there's no way it was placebo) and that lasted for about 4 hours. there were some slight visual disturbance throughout, cev's were pretty vivid, but nothing about it was profound at all. it was about like a really euphoric sativa or something, nothing lifechanging, and tho it was enjoyable, its not wat i had expected. i ate a meal three hours before i dosed, could that have been the difference?

Yeah, actually it does make a bit of difference having eaten even 3 hours prior to the trip =/
Esp. when the dose is only 2.3 .. and the juice used is Grape vs Lemon.

I'd guess that the mushrooms simply weren't potent, though the meal before probably affected it to an extent. Do you know if they were cubensis?

yea sound weak to me or you have a natural tolerance to psychs, a gram puts me where you were, (btw i dont trip just to trip, i use them for cluster headache, so anything over a few grams is a waste to me) but i dont eat all day and i consume mine ground up into powder with lemonade or honey
any fatty foods will weaken and lengthin the trip, fatty substances and or dairy will coat the stomach making absorption a bit difficult and slower so there for it makes the shroomies a bit time release instead of all at once, not to mention shrooms are a bit diffcult to digest themsleves
sounds like u gave your self all the needed precursors to not fully experience a trip
expectations result in disappointment, dont expect just experience plans are designed to fail

I probably would have dosed higher. I did an eigth my first time and it was PERFECT. An amazing trip actually. So just wait a while and give it another shot, I assure you we arent making up any of the crazy effects. I wouldnt up the dose toooo much though, considering this may have just been a fluke. (though maybe youre just a bit more tolerant than most)

Try fasting for 5-7 hours before your next trip, and dose the same amount. You'll likely notice a pretty big increase in effects.

You took a pretty low dose OP. I find that I don't really "trip" off anything less than 3.5 grams. I just get high like you said.
Low doses have their place though. It warms up your brain to the effects of mushrooms and next time you dose your brain will be more familiar with the sensation 
Next time try 3.5 grams, and then move on to 4 then 5 e.t.c. You'll find your sweet spot eventually.
As for the meal thing - I usually dose first thing when I get out of bed (so I'm already fasted from the night before). Then I usually snack on fruit after I've come up. Tripping hungry is a no in my book.
Good luck. I say don't worry about lemon teking until your find your sweet spot. That way you'll be able to use the lemon tek to economize on shrooms.
When I first heard about the lemon tek I didn't believe that it would actually make much of a difference - so I decided to take a full dose of 5 grams anyway, just in case. Needless to say, I hit hyperspace. Lemons are serious business.

Yeah I didn't eat for like 6-8 hours prior to my 3 grams trip and the walls were coming in on me and was fryin like a mad man. I prefer and recommend the tea method to everyone it's easy, fast come on (a little too much for some) and intense but last for about 4-6 hours. After 4 or so hours I'm usually ready for it to be over.

i took some yesterday and it was my first time. i got a few visuals, but nothing like what i expected, no dillusions or anythig... i was dissapointed. personally i think salvia is a more intense trip then the lower doses of mushrooms

Lower doses? I thought you ate 7 grams? You're saying you were unimpressed with 7 grams of cubensis?

2-3 gm trip, sounds about right... Go to 4-4.5 next time... That is when things start to get weird

You took a low dose, it wont deliver anything that 'life changing'. If you're looking for something with that kind of impact, you'll need 5 or more grams.

lemon
mushrooms
lemon wedges squeezed in cup
mushrooms in cup; coat in lemon juice
wait 10 minutes and boil water
add par boiled or pre_cooled water into cup
wait 10-15 minutes
drink
if you did 2.5 grams this way, you'd have been at least experiencing mild visuals.
think about it that way.

A meal beforehand usually makes a massive difference to the strength of my trip. Last time i ate 0.5 grams of truffles on an empty stomach and had something along the lines of your trip. However i can empathize with you on expecting more from your first trip, i expected to be transported into another world but the fact of the matter is that that will come in good time, you need to responsibly increase your dose over the duration of your time with psychedelics. Next time take an 8th, don't have any dinner and (although I'm not saying you did this last time) don't put your attention to television or films lie back close your eyes and let it take hold. happy phuture trippin mayn.

i was unimpressed. dont get me wrong, it was good, but not mind blowing good. stuff started moving around... not much more than that happened. i was expecting some colorful open eye visuals and got nothing but moving spaces all around me that i knew were still. but i'm also on an SSRI so that could be the reason...
