Terence McKenna, Question.
    #19243154 - 12/07/13 11:51 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Terence McKenna have said that you must take 5g of shrooms in a dark silence if u want to have a real experience.

I have a question. About what strain he talkin? Cuz they all different in potency. It is psilocybe cubensis?

You mean which species? Yes, he was talking about psilocybe cubensis. As for which strain of cubensis, they're all pretty close to same potency. I've noticed that my first flushes are the most potent, and the very last flushes are the weakest. Aborts are more potent than full grown mushrooms.

While he was an interesting character, I somewhat disagree with his statement here. He can say what worked for him, but he is in no position to tell anyone how to have a 'real experience'. Everyone is different, do what works for yourself.

He's referring to cubensis.
I wouldn't start with a 5 gram trip though, that can be indescribably intense.

5g pftek cubensis, 2nd flush

let them colonize for a month too , can make potency stronger

make chocolates out of the 5g, then you will only need 4-4.5g for a 5g experience maybe
(if you powder them)

often bulk grows are not very potent for me, pftek was usually much stronger potency for me
but maybe due to growing on straw or perhaps using too little spawn / due to bacteria in grow

btw I wouldnt recommend you start with more than 3g chocolates... then work your way up 1g at a time each trip if you feel ready

5g isnt to be taken just for fun, it will change your life

Terence also said that one should spend months in the library before attempting such a feat. Read Jung, Campbell, Leary, Watts, Grof, etc.

Yeah don't start with 5 grams, I did that inadverantly and I don't even remember it. My friend had to tell me what happened. From his point of view I was having some kind of counsel with what he said I said were the primal entities. It was way too much for me at the time so I guess my brain shut it out so I wouldn't go batshit crazy, or something else.

For most people that's a pretty good average for the "heroic" dose.  That's the dose in which he experienced the mushroom "talk" to him or give him direct communication through language.  He even said in True Hallucinations that it may take some people 9grams to reach this.  So he also acknowledged that everyone reacts differently to different dosages.  Obviousely someone as intelligent as him wouldn't claim that 5 grams is "the" experience.  He's probably also done more.

and he did it in silent darkness as well so that would definitely increase the trip like crazy.

He talked about it a lot and pushed it but he also said to do it how it worked for you. Ill be doing a McKenna style trip but Im doing it to "see what it is for its self" like he said about ayahuasca.  I took the general idea as people never got past the giggles and cool colors and he thought the real information and benefits came at higher doses.
