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.

I think I might get more high by running 1 mile than taking 0.5g cube, just saying.

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 love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. 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.”

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.
