Questions about a 0.5g dose of Psilocybe cubensis
#19159881 - 11/19/13 02:18 PM (10 years, 3 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!

It has failed to help drug addicts get treatment. It has failed to prevent the cultivation of marijuana and the making of illicit drugs. It has failed to halt the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.

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.."
