Is 5 grams too much?

I want to have a religious experience, out of body, ETs, spirit animal encounter, etc. I was thinking 4.5-5 grams of dried mushrooms prepared in a tea and taken all at once. Should this do the trick?

It will sure help. You can have a religious experience on a gram or two, higher doses help, but it's not guaranteed. Too much though, I would have to ask too much for what?

Thing with mushrooms is what will happen will happen. You can't expect anything just go with it.
I had an oobe on 11.6grams of wet mushrooms, that's the equivalent to about 1.6 grams. I've tripped harder on 2.5grams than I did on 4.5grams.
All in all, it's really up to you to decide.

No one will truly be able to answer your question without first hearing your tripping background history.

I'd say 5 is way too much for a first trip.

Yeah I would say that 5 is too much as well. The things that you are searching for are not a guarantee just because you take a high dose. You would be in way over your head for your first time.

If it's your first time I totally agree 5 is too much.
I haven't even had 5grams yet... Planning on it soon.
Everything you want is easily achievable on an 1/8 of shrooms... You just can't expect it if that makes sense. Just have to let what you seek find you.

I'd even say an 1/8th is too much for most first timers...
But if you want a powerful first time experience it's probably perfect. I had en eighth my first time and it felt just as intense as 4.5 or 5 grams (not exaggerating) so I can only imagine how strong 5 grams would be for a noob.

I ate an eighth for my first time and I think it was perfect. It was the perfect amount for me, but for some that is still far too much. That is something you have to find out for yourself. Don't dive in if you can't swim.
Start low, not high my friend.

I've had a religious experience on 3g by the river with friends  I took 47 g fresh on my 3rd trip and it was too much at the moment, because I didn't even know what the hell was happening lol. Do what the experienced people say and build your way up slowly, its not so much about the dose but about your experience and your environment in my opinion.
-------------------- This is how you know if I'm tripping : "what?" "hey hey hey you got to do this" "what?"

Yeah well thanks for that, me trying to do percentages after about 5 dabs will do that.  No exxageration I was tripping balls on that dose... Two medium sized fresh mushroom bodies cut up with a razor and lemon tekked.

Terence mckenna said the heroic dose of 5g dried is the best way to experience mushrooms. except he recommends in the dark and in silence lol

I agree with the in the dark and silent thing but Terence mckenna is overrated. Id say start low and build to whatever size dose you want. If you start at 1 g and build up to 5 g or start at 2 g build up to 20 g. Just don't start with 5 as that will be too much for a first time psychedelic.

i agree with you about working your way up to the 5g experience. i have also met a few people that are very sensitive to the molecule, and some very tolerant of it. so working your way up is the best way to go about it. and Terence was a pioneer of his time but yes in this modern time, over rated.

I don't know where people get this idea that Terence was trying to get people to take 5 grams on their first go..when did he say that? Because I've never heard him say that and I always assumed he would be against 5 grams at least for the first time. I've heard him say before that you shouldn't even trip alone at all unless you're experienced. Mushrooms aren't even gonna give you everything they got on the first go so I don't know why you'd use 5 grams anyways.

So taking 5g is too much for a first time, but you advise building up to 20g? Thats kind of irresponsible advice, many avid psychedelic users don't even get close to that dosage. Tell you what I will never dose over 10g again and I have taken mushrooms probably 100 times. I will say that a half ounce had my ego completely obliterated, but I didn't really get anything out of it.
I am 100% for starting low, but for me anything below 2g is always dissapointing. Even in my early days of tripping it just lacked the real magic feeling for me going any lower than that. So 2g is always what I recommend for first timers, but building up to 20g is absurd and unnecessary for most.
And to be honest op even at doses over 10g I have never experienced the things you are looking for, and not everyone does. The experience is different everytime for everyone, there is no set dosage to get you to where you aspire to go with psychedelics, sorry to say.
