low dose shroom trips are underrated

haven't dosed since last year, but this is something i just sort of realized in hindsight...low dose trips are fucking amazing. Looking back on it, i think i actually benefited the MOST from these low dose, just above threshold experiences. (1 to 1.5 gram territory)
the thing i love about low dose trips is that you get that just total expansion of being, total freeflow feeling without being totally blasted into total psychedelic madness (and usually confusion, from your entire sense of self just being obliterated to such an extreme degree).
in fact, i'm almost disappointed in the fact that all the psychedelic pioneers of the past (mckenna, leary, etc) recommended full-blown, high dose trips, while RARELY, if ever espousing the merits of the low dose experience.
why? because i really don't think EVERYONE benefits from big "standard" doses. like i said, looking back on it i think i gained more from those low dose experiences than those crazy ass high dose trips, just by the simple fact that i could still *function* socially to some degree lol. i mean honestly, how many fucking mushrooms do you have to eat in order to realize what it's all about?
to me, if you can gain that some insight with a low dose, that's even better than blasting yourself off into hyperspace off some mega dose. high doses are fine on occassion, but i think the merits of low dose trips really get overlooked sometimes.

yea like on a low dose you can still function in public and be able to handle yourself with a group of people...everything becomes this amazing adventure and you realize how awesome life is when you interact with it to the fullest.
with the mega dose it's like you almost have to be at your house / yard, confined to the boundaries of that environment. so in terms of the external, there's less interaction and it becomes this like huge internal voyage. that's all fine and good, but like i said, sometimes the extroverted low dose experience is just more appropriate.

if you microdose everyday you're probably going to build up a tolerance and won't get any effects eventually.
a low dose without a tolerance of any sort is amazing though.

Micro dosing and low doses is ridiculous in my opinion. I prefer medium doses once a month. Medium is where it's at with the rare odd high dose.

I just tripped the other night on only 1.7 grams and was teetering between this reality and the 4th dimension. If I had ate just a little more I would have been flung out into hyperspace for sure. I was not prepared for that, since I didn't eat much at all lol never under estimate the mushroom!

I tripped on 1g Penis Envy mushrooms on 3 separate occasions... 2 of the 3 were with friends and the other was alone. I can say that even a small amount had powerful effects on my psych, and much can be gained/learned from a small dose without going beyond our own realm. with smaller doses, you can enjoy an adventure without stressing or delving into your mind when you might not want to.
I tripped off of .5 penis envy mushrooms, which seems like it would do nothing, but ended up having a blast with my friends.
To the OP - agreed, low dosages are very underrated

yesterday was my second trip ever, with 1.7g, then .6 during the peak for a longer trip. it wasn't as strong as my first time with 1.7g lemon tek, but the euphoria and clear headedness was amazing. very very slight visuals

Low dosing is truly divine. I did .6 gram of Penis Envy with some tokes of Sativa and I had one of the best sexual experiences of my life. I like the fact I don't need to set aside a whole day or two though there is a time and place for high doses, which I love as well. Here is something I am going to tinker with: Mescaline + Coffee + Datura from 69ron

"75 mg of mescaline is now his absolute favorite low dose psychedelic. It’s absolutely magical, especially when taken with coffee and 3 Datura stramonium seeds. Nothing beats that."

"A 50-75 mg dose is fantastic. One feels slightly energized, content and peaceful, conversation is easy and quite fun to engage in, social interaction feels more meaningful and spontaneous, creativity is slightly increased, and there’s a happy playfulness one feels. It’s easier to feel connected to others. You feel a sense of empathy. Humor comes easily and is quite satisfying. Sex is also improved, and for the man stamina is improved. It’s a great social drug just as long as the dose is kept low. At higher hallucinogenic doses, it is not at all a social drug but more of a spiritual experience."

It’s a 5 star experience. Utterly amazing. It’s one of the friendliest psychedelics there is, but also one of the most powerful and spiritual. It can take you to visionary levels not possible with LSD. The visions it can produce at high doses are fantastic.
I highly recommend that if any of the governments of the world decide to re-legalize any psychedelics that they start with mescaline. Of all the psychedelics, it’s the most user friendly, and unlike LSD, it can’t easily be slipped to someone because the bitter taste is very noticeable. Those infamous LSD “freak-outs” some of us have seen are extremely rare with mescaline. I’ve never seen it happen. It lacks the potent mind altering effects of LSD, while having more visuals effects, and much more euphoria.
Mescaline has such a loving feeling to it. It truly feels like something made by the hands of God.
The two most amazing psychedelic experiences of SWIM’s life were from ayahuasca made using THH and DMT, and most recently MESCALINE! It’s hard to say if one is better than the other. They are both fantastic. Mescaline is very unique in certain ways. There is no substitute for real mescaline.

If you like low dose you might like legal herbs a lot. I found a high dose of ginseng, astragalus, or fo ti was a reasonable psychedelic experience. Start with a low dose though, and buy some good books and read the internet. I love when you get an herbal preparation and the recommended dosage gets you high. I also love when you get something and there's no recommended dose and they don't tell you what it's for! I found both of those instances to be humorous.

Agreed OP. I love a 1-2 gram trip compared to a 3+ gram one. Theyre very relaxing, boosts my confidence, and allow me to be social in a group of people.

Low dose mushroom trips aren't underrated by me! I love them and I totally agree.
I like having lower dose social trips with friends. The conversations are the best. I feel like conversations can be great on higher doses of LSD sometimes but on mushrooms it gets really difficult, confusing, people become introverted. If I take just the right amount, I can have a really positive, open kind of experience that really frees me up from social inhibitions in the right set and setting. It also allows me to view my normal live through a really well-grounded new perspective, but one very different from my normal day-to-day consciousness, and much more willing to self-analyze and improve. "Integration" (shroomery people love that word) happens in real-time, not later on as you're putting the pieces back together. I think that for me, that's a lot more valuable than some of the times I remember being so high I forgot what drug I took and/or where I was. Not to discount the heavy psychedelic experience whatsoever, I just think low doses are great for me.

My first trip last summer was a sub 1g dried dose of p.semilanceata (somehwhere between 0.7 and 1g I think).
I had an amazing experience and think I'd have had trouble if i'd eaten much more than 1g which could have put me off ever doing it again.
As it happens I've got about 2g stored so I might make two trips out of that when I go out exploring on the moor again. Just think I'll get more out of it being out in nature by myself rather than having distractions in the house and possible feeling closed in.

The only time I have taken 1g was two days after the first time I took 2gs. I was alone and I got stuck in my mind on some negative thoughts and I just wanted the trip to be over the entire time, so I have a negative view on low dose shroom trips.

Only ate mushrooms twice and they were both above 4gs. Next time I eat mushies I'm gonna eat around a 2.5, I can't wait to try it out lol. But for acid I'd eaten anywhere from 1-7 tabs and the 1 tab was ok wouldn't do it more than twice a year probably, 3-4 is my perferrd dosage on a given day and if I feel like being spunky ill go higher. When it comes to tripping I like the feeling of being disconnected from reality and completely in the tripping mindset. When I am not tripping that hard and have a foot in the real world I find it hard to lose myself in the trip, which is how I like to trip. Same goes for smoking while tripping. The weed makes me paranoid and aware that I'm tripping and I can't get comfortable and just let go. Different strokes for different folks

I sometimes eat just .75g which gets me to a point where I somehow feel a little smarter but I'm not actually tripping yet. Its like I'm more creative and can articulate more easily and I have more energy. Unfortunately it stops working if I do it too often.
-------------------- In an entheogen influenced moment of clarity I came to understand that reality manifests as a dream from the collective subconscious minds of all conscious entities. Nothingness made something because we collectively believe it into being, and physical laws given power by the reinforcement of conscious observation. Creation, destruction, and even time itself are but an aspect of ourselves and we of them. Life and death, simply illusions we face from a limited grasp of our own existence. We are one, all is eternal.
