I don't mean to offend I just want to share my ideas just because I disagree with some of your views on the subject in no way means you're wrong and vice versa 
No it's fine it's just I figured you were saying I likely didn't get ego death if it didn't change me but honestly at the time I didn't know what the hell was going on and what even was all this with this feeling of rebirth and whatnot. It was literally my first psychedelic experience too and a level 4 so it was probably too much for me to grasp.
As for that guy getting ego death on weed that's just ridiculous. I love how he said 0.3 too which is virtually nothing. If you're gonna say you got ego death on weed at least say you did a huge amount or something because like really lol. You're not gonna get ego death with weed, you're not even get a level 3. That's just not possible and weed doesn't effect long term memory so it doesn't even make sense that it could. THC leads to inhibition of glutamate neurotransmission in the hippocampus so it only effects short term memory. This is why I think weed cannot get you past a level 2. The most hardcore THC and weed highs are simply just level 2's they're just really intense level 2's. A level 2 on mushrooms is totally different.
Weed has its limitations and for good reasons. It's actually a good thing that weed can't give you ego death even in absurdly high doses because if it could then it wouldn't be weed. Enjoy weed as what it is don't try to make it something it's not, weed is simply an aid in the journey of ego loss it isn't a short cut or a thing that will actually get you there whether you want it to or not like the real psychedelics. The real psychedelics aren't "aids" in the process of ego loss they take you right there on their own.

On shrooms / sclerotia, a very rough guide from my personal experience is that if you find a dose that feels comfortable but has solid psychedelic effects (e.g the usual glyphs / indistinct words in the walls), then you would expect to get into "ego death" territory by the time you reach a 100% increase on that dose, if not before. The "bit by bit" approach makes a lot of sense because seemingly small increases in dose can intensify the trip a lot in ways you never expected! I don't know anything about 1p-lsd but that's my experience of shrooms.
The comment by ByCoverofNight is interesting:

7 grams and I experienced "ego death". It was far from the kind of "transcendental" peak experience I thought it might be (much less remotely spiritual) more like holding on for dear life in the middle of a tsunami.
The "mental tsunami" experience of trying to resist (resist the trip, resist death) is spot on and not any kind of exaggeration; it's the experience of falling into this maelstrom as your mind disintegrates (literally stops integrating your mental experience into a coherent whole), where the vacuum is filled by the "transcendent peak experience" which gives you a mindblowing feeling of amazement and rapture as you return to your senses.......expect major delusions at this kind of dose level, e.g that you have become God or died or contacted aliens or something...

I had ego death on ~400ug of L last summer in the Atlantic ocean. I was connected to the entire planet through the ocean and then crucified like Christ in the water and subsequently reborn some time (minutes? Hours?) Later. The only way I can describe was being crucified by fire and then being washed clean and reborn by water. Transformational experience.
