If done correctly you should lose little if any potency.

True. But I ment to ask this question in a different direction... you see the mushroom calculator gave me some funny results. To reach a level 2, you'd need to eat 9.77 grams wet and 1.462 grams dry. Now, if the wet mushroom dried perfectly, it would be .9 grams. So why would you need to eat 1.4 grams (according to the calculator) if little is lost in the drying process? 17.24 grams wet to reach a level 3 trip, but it would take 2.581 of the same mushroom dried!
I think I have forgotten my question, being T+ 30 mins into a 25g wet cambodian. Did that make any sense?

That calculator is fucked uop and i have mentioned it before.
Every mushroom has a different amount of chemicals in them form one another. However on a whole. OIne dried gram witll get one person off. 3 dried grams is a trip and 3-5 dried grams is equivelent to a mazatec Mushroom ceremony.
Now that is for p. cubensis.
3 to 5 grams dried is also what is considered a clicical dosage used in theerapeutic controlled environmentall settings.
Fresh that would mean up to one fresh ounce or a little mpre would be equal tot he dried weight of 3 to 5 grams dried.
Not that could be one large giant P. cubei nisis or as many as 25 to fifty small fresh p. cubensis weighting one fresh oounce.
IT s that simple. figure it out.
