no but he has a good point. why waste your time with low doses and possibly have a short lasting impression when you could dive in head first and possibly never have the urge to trip for several years
true
did 5g a few years back, it scared me so much I havent tried to repeat yet :-P
was pretty sure I was going insane the whole trip lol, 5g mushroom chocolates
3.5-4g seems to be my dose , every 2-4 months or so, when I got shrooms available cant find them locally anywhere
salvia takes courage too, can only get myself to smoke that with sitter now, 20x and only every 6-8 months max :-P , even though Ive done high doses of LSD/mushrooms (10+ hits lsd, 5-7g mushrooms)

Moonshoe said: I actually am thinking the opposite these days, that the best thing you can do with any drug is start at the lowest possible dose and then gradually climb up by tiny increments with each successive experiment, until you find your sweet spot. Its the safest way to get to know a substance and you can still find your way to heroic doses eventually, but you do it one step at a time, with patience, persistence and care. To me doing tiny doses first and working up to high doses is the obvious, logical thing to do for maximum safety. To rush to a high dose is just impatient really, whats the hurry? You can get there in time, one step at a time.
For me, and idk how this transfers over to other drugs, when I first smoked weed if I'd of started small I don't think I would of had such a good experience that I did the first time. My tolerance would of been enough that by the time I smoked a whole bowl it wouldn't of been as great as it was.

This is exactly why I think he gives pretty dumb shit advice regarding psychedelics.

I don't think this applies to this time in history. Everyone is different. I take a blotter and feel like it is a lot but I know some people who take 5 at a time and am like because of how much one affects me. I used to go to the extreme with disassociatives but don't like doing the same with hallucinogens because once I hit 2.5g or over 1 blotter the experience is meaningless because my thought process is too scrambled. I like observing my thoughts but I don't like my thought process scrambled to the point where I can't even understand what is going on.

with high doses you dont understand
you let go :-)
let go of thoughts, see where it takes you, dont think
psytrance + high doses is nice, Ive mostly done high doses where ordinary thinking is impossible (always 3+ hits, it also helps letting go of any fear easily)
is pretty good for high doses... because it is slow... but perfect mix
know thyself like they say, easier with high doses, because you will be forced to rebuild and face yourself but it can happen with many low/medium dose trips too... no need for egodeath for it, which can be unpleasant/life changing can also be very good... both good and bad, should be essential to any psychonaut

Sounds like  like  like your not good enough unless you take high doses of drugs like "ugh you did one gram of mushies, I did ten"
I agree wholeheartedly 100% with Terence's opinion on the dabblers. No love for the dabblers. Theyre the posers that can never know thyself.

I do understand though. I have been to that point before...

I think what Terrance was trying to convey, I mean you've never encountered that guy who wants to be cool and says "oh ya I've tripped" when the most they've ever taken was like 2 g's or 1 hit. Its not really true to say you know about the psychedelic experience completely until you have that moment of surrender. In my own personal experiences I would tend to agree with him on this one. I don't think I had a true taste of the psychedelic experience until I dosed enough for my ego to dissolve. Its just that this basic human experience has been robbed from us by our ridiculous puritan guilt ridden society. So its not as if most people ever get the chance to fully experience the awe of psyches because they're just illegal so its a pain in the ass. It's kind of like going to a movie and watching the previews and then leaving after the credits roll in and writing a review of the movie.

true
only egodeath made me find myself, had forgotten myself for 10+ years
the trips leading up to the death healed me a lot each time though, all fear left slowly, started feeling happy everyday again, appreciating what I got, eating healthily, reducing stress etc. the opposite of before tripping
but I always dosed high, low doses dont really do anything for me, always took 3.5g+ shrooms or 3hits lsd, or above
definitely something that should be tried, the world is new afterwards like first time you saw it, all problems vanish :-)
when it happens you dont want to go there again as to keep your new identity likely, but you dont really decide that it seems lol then its possible to get there on 2g mushrooms, or 1 hit lsd later on... soon you learn to live without defining yourself/your world, because it all dissolves on every trip, every preconceived notion :-)
its funny... everytime I hear people say its a shitty rain weather I can find happiness from observing/walking in the rain lol, after egodeath
