Tolerance confusion

So I've read some of the posts here about tolerance, and I'm still a bit confused. I've tripped about a dozen times in the last few months and so has my wife. 3.5 - 4g is our typical amount. Mellow experience, more of a mental/emotional high than visual. But we read and hear all the time about people getting a level 3 or 4 trip on low doses. We have only come close to that with 7g or more. My tolerance is about the same as my wife's, but I'm 6'3 190lbs and she's 5' 140lbs. Does body size and weight even play a factor in mushroom tolerance or have I gotten something completely wrong?

In my experience, body size / weight doesn't effect tolerance. Everyone's tolerance is different. I have a friend that eats an eighth and is lucky to get over a level two, where as I hit level 4-5 on as little as 2gs. We both are very close on body weight. Everyone's body chemistry is different. Also, it could be the potency of your mushrooms. If they were grown via MS, the potency can be a crap shoot, sometimes being very strong, and sometimes very weak, from the same grow.

Fasting for at least 5 hours before a trip might help. I won't eat all day if I know I'm going to trip that night. My most powerful and insightful trips have been after fasting for 24 hours. You can also try making shroom tea. I believe the body absorbs it more rapidly in a liquid form.

Size & body weight does play a role in how much mushrooms you need to eat in order to achieve so & so effects. I would wait at the very least one week in between your mushrooms trips. I suggest you wait two though. Your just wasting mushrooms if you dose so frequently. Also stomach contents effect your trip. Do not ingest mushrooms on a full stomach. Me personally, I typically fast for 5-7 hours before I ingest mushrooms.

I always try to fast for at least 8 hours before every trip, and drink lots of water.
Is it common to have a mushroom hangover? We tripped last night and have pounding headaches today.

I have never experienced that at all.

It depends. I need 8 grams to break through with potent shrooms, if not potent, I still don“t break through with 8 grams. Weed on the other hand gave me a level 5 on the first times, and I have been over 2 months smoking 0.17 grams (vape) in the morning and at night with an Indica dominant (18-24% thc among different strains) to combat neurophatic chronic pain. Still trip decently, not as hard as the first days of course, but I would say a level 2-3 maybe, and it has stuck in there for a good month, so this might be the "minimum" trip I will get each time I vaporize weed... meaning I am very low tolerance for weed (lucky me)

I'm thinking the "hangover" might have just been dehydration. I don't think we drank enough water prior to the trip. Lesson learned.
So I'm seeing that many factors tie in with tolerance. Shroom type and potency, body size and weight, diet, and water intake. Is it possible for MAO in our stomachs to have that much of an effect on the trip. We have yet to try MAOI, but I'm going to order some syrian rue in a couple weeks and give that a go. We have smoked while tripping, and that certainly boosted it too. I guess we just need to experiment and see what works for us.
