should I weigh Psilocybe semilanceata mushrooms
    #18919614 - 10/02/13 04:50 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Something I have never done is weigh magic mushrooms to know how many grams I am taking. Of course I have had dried Psilocybe semilanceata but some are small and others a bot larger--different sizes, and when they dry they all are of a muchness. Now would people here recommend me get a weighing device that can measure grams...? What dya'll think?

Always measure your doses, dont eye ball!

Buy small jewellery scales, they will do the job.

Measure them by counting them without taking any interest in their weight and size.

20-50 equals 100-250 μg LSD
50-100 equals 250-500 μg LSD

Weighing is a good way to standardize your dosing

Without that... As mentioned, you can count liberty caps
I would not do that with larger mushrooms like cyans, where size can very a lot more

Good luck and good vibes

On page 21, but it's in Swedish.

From my own experience I'd say it's pretty close.

Liberty caps have such a diverse psilocybin content so it's quite unreliable to measure them in weight.
(Since a small one can contain more psilocybin than a large one)

WOW I didn't know that. there is something trippy about that. In the first STAGE of mushroom dimension, the very dried, shrooms size does not matter lol AND measurement has no meaning...I love:smile: it

When I was picking semis I never weighed them - I'd just average out the sizes and count them out... :thumbup:

so let me ask further questions. IF as EmL says how it is not exact to weigh actual magic mushrooms when dried, and how smaller ones can be more potent than larger ones, how does this uncertainty concern magic truffles?

I have never had the latter yet, but am presuming that with these you would need to chop into portions and weigh, right?

Level 4 LSD =/= psilocybin it's just a measurement to make it easier to know how deep the experience can go.

Let me be clear I've only had psilocybe semilanceata and it's only those that I recommend counting instead of weighting!
