Cant tell for sure, get a scale.
If all else fails, just eat 1-2 stems and 1-2 caps.

it looks like 1/7th of your bag...

It could look like anything

it depends on the size, thickness, are they hollow

If you don't have a scale, then eyeballing 1/7th of your bag is not that hard. Just take a little more if you are worried 1 gram is a good starter dose.

It is not an research chemical so being a little off wont be detrimental to your health.

Someone desperately needs a scale! You can't tell by simply eyeballing them... And if you're somehow able to find out, I recommend taking 2 grams for your first time. My first experience was with 1 gram and even though I did enjoy it, it left me wishing it was stronger.

And eat them on an empty stomach!

Small and portable electronic scales are super cheap on amazon. Get one that has increments at least in .01 gram. Well worth the investment for psychonauts.

One stem and one cap, eh? :smirk:




Please buy a scale if you're going to get into doing mushrooms.

You can estimate dosage without scales if you:

1) Know the total weight
2) Are capable of grinding up the product, mixing it together evenly and dividing it into piles of equal size


Quite simple really. I feel that sometimes there's an overemphasis on exactness with regards to dosage weight. There's many factors that will influence your experience, some of which can't [easily] be controlled, such as body weight and mushroom potency. The whole experience of taking mushrooms is imprecise and sometimes quite unpredictable, when it comes to dosage, approximation is good enough imo.

If you can't meet those two conditions then you're just guessing which could be seen as irresponsible - use a scale when you have access to one.

Ever heard of a chef who doesn't use a knife? Me neither.

Buy a farking scale. You can't be a drug user and not own a scale.

Divide your stuff in half
Then divide each half in thirds

Pretty close to that
What ways more... A gram of lead or a gram of mushrooms?

I think knowing your dosage is important for new users.  It helps establish a basis for how much the drug will affect you.  Once you establish how intense, say, an eighth would be, then you could eyeball a dose that's reasonably close to an eighth and have a ballpark idea of how much it'll affect you.  If you start out eyeballing and you're all over the place, you have no basis for any estimation and it's sort of just a psychedelic roulette.

I've had this conversation multiple times.  A lot of people just "eat out of the bag" or eat "a stem and a cap" or something like that and have questions about why it didn't affect them more or less.  Who knows?  I just posted a picture of one reasonably sized mushroom that weighed over 6 grams.  It was fairly big, but it goes to show that "one mushroom" isn't a decent estimation at all.

Scales cost about as much as a single dose of mushrooms.  If you don't have one, have your dealer split them into separate bags of measured weight before you get them.  It's not all that farfetched of a request, and if I were to sell illegal drugs, such a request would not bother me one bit.

If you use drugs either you or one of your friends surely has a scale but if not then fail at life.

I like the clothes hanger method. Using equal amounts of tape, put a dime on one side and what you want to weigh on the other. When the clothes hanger is straight, you will have 2.268 grams.
