staggering mushroom dose

I am wondering if you guys think it is good idea to stagger a mushroom dose?
I am thinking I will do this tonight because I don't know how many mushrooms I want to take.
On my last trip, I started with 4 gram and then when they kicked in it felt great, I was in total control of the trip and I realized 4 gram wasn't very much so I ate 2 more gram. I then watched a video of a guy who took 15 gram staggered.
The reason I like this idea is because I am honestly scared to eat 15 gram right off the bat. What if it kicks in and I decide I don't want to be tripping that hard? Whereas if I stagger the dose, then I decide based on how the trip is going whether or not is good to eat more.
What is the time frame we are looking at when taking more will still get you higher?

I thought you meant a staggering dose, like 60 grams dry.
Taking it in two doses works if you take the second dose within an hour or hour and a half of the first dose. After that, tolerance sets in and you get diminishing returns.

Take whatever dose you want all at once. If you are not ready to take 15 grams at once then do not. Find a middleground you feel is safe and take it all at once. You will get more mileage out of less material.
This has been discussed here thousands of times.

i know you get more mileage out of less material but like I said I am scared to eat 15 grams all at once. I think it makes more sense to stagger the dose.
Other cultures do not always take their psychedelics in one big dose. I read the native americans pass around peyote juice every 2 hours. That totally goes against western psychedelic wisdom but must work for them or they wouldnt do it.

maybe just start eating? could stop, then start again if/when desirable.
I personally would like to use all my substance to get to a more peak rather than an extension of the experience (I imagine you're going for extension?(LOL)). As I am coming down I'm usually glad I am coming down. If I redosed I might feel like I am ready to come down then feel another few thresholds approaching.

I dont find mushrooms last long enough, so I am totally ok with extension but really what I am going for is just trying to find the sweet spot dosage wise without risking massively overshooting it which is what I am afraid might happen if I just eat 15 grams and they hit me all at once.

Then take whatever the highest dose was you have been comfortable with and add a few grams. Why does it have to be 15g?

Work your way up gradually and find the dose that fits you perfectly. Taking double the dose can work sometimes but personally ive had moments where I was tripping balls and still having the bag of shrooms infront of me and I just kept eating them. Trips like that have turned my reality into pure terror and feared for me life.

Don't be an idiot. Go gently. Tomorrow is another day. Take too much and you may wind up in the emergency room or the police station.

In fact, I lived in a state of near continuous embarrassment, never measuring up to the ridiculous standards I had accepted without question, applied to a framework of expectations neither I nor anyone else could meet.--J C Amberchele almost nothing important that ever happens to you happens because you engineer it.
