How much faith should i put into this Calculator ?
Just talked to a few people who had eaten 30g of Stropharia cubensis, but they had no hallucinations. They had a good time, but nothing major to reoport home about.
And when i look at the calculator, it says 26g is a lvl 4 trip
Quote:
Level 4 Strong hallucinations, i.e. objects morphing into other objects. Destruction or multiple splitting of the ego. (Things start talking to you, or you find that you are feeling contradictory things simultaneously). Some loss of reality. Time becomes meaningless. Out of body experiences and e.s.p. type phenomena. Blending of the senses

I reckon the shrooms they ate weren't very fresh or had been exposed to heat.
The calc's fine, 30g fresh will give anyone a good trip.

There is a big jump from no hallucinations, to a lvl 4 trip if u ask me. Why even make a calculator if the safety margins are that big...
Maybe the shrooms are crap

26 grams cubensis isnt even near what i concider to be a level 4 trip. 50 grams is more like it, but its also this that people reacts very diffrent on psycadelics , i have a friend that trips hard as hell on only 1/4-1/5 of what i take.

You shouldn't put any trust into the calculator. It just a rough estimate. I think that the calculated dosage for fresh shrooms are a little bit off, but on the other hand, the calculated estimate for dry dosages are somewhat close.

Not everyone has visuals on shrooms, espoecially it f they take them in a lot of light.
The darker the room the more visuals one will experience.
Most people take shrooms to get high, they do not venture intot he realm of the Mazatec.

The calculator seemed to work roughly OK with fresh doses of Liberty Caps for me... but I noticed great variance in the mushrooms themselves - some pickings they would be massively strong, and sometimes they would be damn weak.

I for sure had a "level four" trip (according to the aforementioned description" off 3.1 grams of dried cubes. They were real small and lots were aborts, however, so that may have upped the psylocybin content. We were tripping balls though, unbelievably hard. Within 15 minutes of eating them, we were sitting back in our chairs, coming up fast, looking at eachother with expressions on our faces like "what the fuck is happening to us?!"
