Questions about a 0.5g dose of Psilocybe cubensis
#19159881 - 11/19/13 02:18 PM (10 years, 2 months ago) |

Hi people. I intend to grow some Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms at home and to use them as a mood enhancer. The reason, I chose mushrooms is because I have bad experience with Cannabis (all it does for me is make my heart race and that's it), so I thought mushrooms could be a better drug of choice. Please note that my goal is not to trip on mushrooms, but only to get a mellow buzz/high from them. Therefore, I intend to start with low doses (0.5g), but I still need to know more about what a low dose psilocybin high feels like. My questions are to those of you who have done low doses of shrooms.
Will a low dose (0.5g) of Psilocybe cubensis:
- have any effect whatsoever on my mind and mood (make me feel happy, give me the giggles, intensify colors, etc.)?
- cause nausea / vomiting?
- cause anxiety / racing heart?
- cause any visual halucinations?
- make me lose my balance (like a drunk person)?
- allow me to walk or will it couch lock me?
- allow me to carry other everyday activites (do sports, talk to people, browse the internet, etc.)?
Also, how long will a 0.5g high last?
Thanks!

You won't feel ANYTHING with 0.5. I'd say the threshold is at least a gram if not more. You nay get a very slight buzz but don't expect anxiety or anything lol.
The real effects start at 5g which is the border between reality and insanity.

Hmmm, 5g sounds like a huge dose. There is no way I am trying this, especially on my first try. Most people report they trip on 2.5g and I don't even want to be tripping. I just want to enhance my mood and be high.

Doesn't work that way...
You don't get 'high' off shrooms.
You will only notice your anxiety if you are in an environment or time frame where you have something to be anxious about. You will only notice nausea/vomiting if there is something present in your body that needs to be flushed out. As for visual hallucinations, it's possible. You can still walk, you won't be all drunk like, and there's no shrooms equivalent of couch lock. If your mood is low and you're using them to raise your mood, you will likely be very disappointed.
Also if you're using it for just another high then they're going to kick your ass when you accidentally take enough to actually trip.

Drop a couple hits of LSD or eat an eighth of mushrooms and do a little meditating or something you enjoy while normally sober, you'll be in a good mood for quite some time after that day if you do it right. 
Low doses will either make you beg for more or almost irritate you, but hey they might even give you a slight sense of well-being and give you your mood lift. The only way to know is to try it, good luck.

@redflackal I can't smoke Cannabis, bro. I want to, but I can't. It only makes my heart race. I have tried Indicas, Sativas, I have tried to smoke less, then to smoke more... it doesn't matter. The unpleasant physical effects are always present. This is why I decided to try mushrooms, kind of like a substitute for weed.
@kneesocks you think there may be visuals at 0.5g? Then I will just start with 0.25g. It is great that there will be no couch lock and that I will be still able to walk, though.
@Jvells I will try some mushrooms as soon as I grow them. Was just hoping to get some insight on what to expect at low doses. No way I am starting at more than 0.5g.

I strongly disagree with everyone who says 0,5 does nothing.
The two times I took such a low dose were both very noticable.

tell me what you mean by visuals
everything that is around you is what it is. 0.5g doesn't make the objects around you any different, but might make you notice that colours are more vibrant, or maybe you'll notice something you don't normally see, like something how intricate the rings are in a piece of wood. But it's not enough to where your imagination or subconscious can the way you see the objects around you into other things.
Anyways, if you are just looking to get high, I would not look into these. If you're only looking for a tool to force your mood into a positive one, like what MDMA does, these aren't what you're looking for.

I didn't describe them because I think it matters how many times you had shrooms.
If you are experienced and know what shrooms can be like, you can recognise all the minute changes (mood, perception) that do occur at 0,5g.
I was able to recognise them on 0,5g and work with them. I feel that if I describe this, it would be overstating the effects 0,5g would have on a first timer.
This is because I have a sense that first timers would be more inclined to resist the effects of a very low dose. This is based on intuition, not experience, as my first dose was 3,5g.
Seriously though, if you just want to get high, don't take mushrooms.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with someone wanting to take mushrooms to get high. I believe there are many uses for them and one could be to occupy a creative mind seeking activity whom is able to keep their shit together if things start to fly off the hook (which honestly many people seeking to just get high can't handle)...but in low doses why not give it a shot? Anyways a couple good examples for what I mean are listening to music on mushrooms...you can completely analyze every sound, and your artistic abilities are enhanced too. They can be great for adding some spice to your life on like a rainy day you want to try and enjoy . The universe gave us mushrooms and plants to just make our life's better and I feel they don't all only have one purpose, though they definitely all do deserve a lot of respect when using.

Dude if smoking weed is "unpleasant" for you then I'd stay the hell away from mushrooms. That's like saying "I drank some beer and it made me queasy and uncoordinated...maybe I should drink tequila instead.."

Hey who knows who knows man, maybe mushrooms will treat him really good. As long as the guy starts with .5 or so like he said and slowly moves up from there I think it's worth a shot imo

Yes, will start it easy on the dosage. I read reports that mushrooms can elevate your mood and make you laugh, etc. One way to find out, but I will have to grow some mushrooms first.

What a coincidence...I just had a weighed .5 gram dose of mushrooms today. It was definitely beyond threshold but solidly within the realm of normal drugs; I did not trip.
[Will a low dose (0.5g) of Psilocybe cubensis: have any effect whatsoever on my mind and mood (make me feel happy, give me the giggles, intensify colors, etc.)?
Yes, but the effects are quite subtle for me and do not include all of the above. See below for more.
cause nausea / vomiting? cause anxiety / racing heart? cause any visual halucinations? make me lose my balance (like a drunk person)?
It hasn't done any of the above for me.
allow me to walk or will it couch lock me?
It alters my sense of movement but doesn't impair movement.
allow me to carry other everyday activites (do sports, talk to people, browse the internet, etc.)?
Yes.
The effects that I've noticed from such low doses are a mood lift, changes in inhibition (e.g. thoughts become words very easily and at times inappropriately), changes in sense of humor (e.g. was with coworkers in the break room and laughed out load because the toaster popped), and a variety of subtle shifts in consciousness.
For me, a .5 gram dose is clearly beyond threshold and yet extremely mild compared to any actual psychedelic experience. They're different categories of drug experience entirely. It's not something I'd do often but it could be worth experimenting with for some, I guess. I'd buy an eighth to experiment with before investing in a new grow.
edit: if you go through with this, start at .25 grams. if that's not enough, try .5 grams another day, etc. don't experiment with a higher dose than you've done before on a day when you have anything you must do (e.g. go to work). don't eyeball anything - buy a decent gram scale. these suggestions are to avoid accidental tripping, which would probably freak you the fuck out .
also please check any medication you take for known interactions with psychedelics and take your findings seriously.

I can say meditation with low doses is an experience all its own. Ancient cultures eat small doses and fast for days.
I tried it once for a like 3 days and I did shine new light on many things. Its great for figuring out problems and relieving stress.
But again I do this sort of thing as a spiritual ordeal. Not to get high.
But if anything just roam in your comfort zone. Then no matter what it should be pleasant. And you wont feel scared, anxious, or paranoid. In theory.

What you are describing is more along the lines of narcotic painkillers. Yes, shrooms get you "high," but they don't necessarily put you in a warm, happy place. They are mood enhancers in the sense that whatever mood you are experiencing before you dose will be amplified by the trip (ie if you feel pretty cool the shrooms will make you feel downright groovy)..but this goes both ways. They are not something you take when you've had a shitty day and just want to feel better..thats basically setting yourself up for a bad trip.

I was going to say this. A low dose of mescaline can give you a happy stoned feeling with the giggles, but please be aware of the environmental impact if you use peyote. If you want something completely non-hallucinogenic, try kava. I quit opiates after using kava for a week.
While the point that "if you dont like pot, don't do [stronger] hallucinogens" makes some sense, plenty of people tend to dislike pot without having carry over effects onto other drugs. Having said that, things like anxiety/paranoia with pot are at least partially due to your state of mind at the time. Pot is a bit like alcohol in that people use it without thinking its serious or use it when they're feeling shitty already and then wonder why it has negative effects. All mind-altering substances should be treated with respect IMO. From what you've said though, I would suggest a threshold dose of mescaline if anything but think you'd be better off trying kava.

To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”

I was going to say this. A low dose of mescaline can give you a happy stoned feeling with the giggles, but please be aware of the environmental impact if you use peyote. If you want something completely non-hallucinogenic, try kava. I quit opiates after using kava for a week.
While the point that "if you dont like pot, don't do [stronger] hallucinogens" makes some sense, plenty of people tend to dislike pot without having carry over effects onto other drugs. Having said that, things like anxiety/paranoia with pot are at least partially due to your state of mind at the time. Pot is a bit like alcohol in that people use it without thinking its serious or use it when they're feeling shitty already and then wonder why it has negative effects. All mind-altering substances should be treated with respect IMO. From what you've said though, I would suggest a threshold dose of mescaline if anything but think you'd be better off trying kava.
This man speaks the truth. Gotta respect what goes in your body.

Great replies, guys, thank you all. @hmmn, thanks for sharing your personal experience with a 0.5g dose. Your post answered all my questions.

You sound almost very apprehensive about having a psychedelic experience, are you sure shrooms are what you're looking for? As suggested, smoke a doobie and be done with it.

When I just eat a litle bit of shrooms like OP is talking about, I feel great. Of course, I smoked weed most times I did it too. But it definitely puts me in a nice headspace, mild color intensification, I like to have some good conversations. Also I get a nice body high from it that is quite distinct from the cannabis. I might have been taking a bit more than .5 g, at this dose I dont weigh it I just grab a shroom and have a little snack. I remember a ling time ago seeing an experiment where a guy microdosed with LSD everyday for a week and the results were positive. Can't find it now though. Anyway, OP I say go for it.

One thing I havent seen talked about is the amount of psilocybin and psilocin per mass of cubensis. One thing to know is that cubensis do vary in percentages, not as much as some, but also, more than say azurescens.

From the discussion, I would say this sounds accurate. And going along with what others are saying, "It's a mood enhancer etc...", you have to realize what emotion you have going in, is the emotion you'll have going throughout (but amplified). Unless you are at the point that "if" they were in your hands, and you had no hesitation of eating them, then don't take them.

Iirc, semilanceata (lib. cap), but I could be wrong. Could someone else chime in?
PS. Im speaking to cubensis as their own type, and semilanceata as their own, and so forth.

Psilocybe semilanceata is not Psilocybe cubensis.

Err yea. Miss read your question as "Whats the least potent Psilocybe?"
Now, I dont think there are varieties of cubensis, they are the genus of Pysilocybe. And semilanceata is a different genus.

The real effects start at 5g which is the border between reality and insanity.
You are undeniably incorrect. I have had effects with as low as 0.25g.
My strongest experience with psychedelics ever was with 3.5g of Cubensis.
A 1g dose gets my anxiety pretty ramped up as well... all about set and setting though.

@LucyLove, what were the effects at 0.25g? Did you feel anxiety at that dose?

The effects were enhanced visual and audio perception, a sense of knowing more of what is going on around me, when I talked my words flowed smoothly, it was very unlike a typical mushroom experience. No anxiety to write for at 0.25g, I would say the anxiety starts for me (I am an anxious person already so that could be why) around 0.75g-1g.

I guess it hits everybody differently. My body type, genetics, and so forth could also be radically different than your's.
Here's a description of what to expect on a 0.5gram mushroom trip:
-Looking at objects and patterns may cause them to slightly vibrate in front of you -When looking in the mirror, if you focus on your face for a bit, it may start to change shape but it'll be very subtle. -You may notice things more than you normally do and stare at them for a bit longer -You won't get any visuals. Music may make you feel SLIGHTLY more immersed.

I put 0.3g in my morning coffee 3-4 days out of the week before going to work lol. I notice on the days I have shrooms; I am more social and enlightened. Without them.. the days feel as if they are dragged and I'm not very content with my mood.
I get zero hallucinogenic effects from these tiny doses, just a mood lift. It makes me happier lol, that's it... and that is damn well worth it for me. When I want to trip, I take 3-4gs.
I say start with 0.3g like I do... it's wonderful.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is great to learn that mushrooms can be used as a mood enhancer.

A small dose for me was cool like once. Large infrequent doses are more beneficial in my experience.

Everybody's different. Just because you don't enjoy micro-doses doesn't mean they are useless. The natives used to do smaller doses to enhance their hunting abilities. That dose would probably be 1g or less. They damn sure aint trippin balls while hunting. Dont hate... meditate.. and validate.
