How often is too often?
    #25870401 -

Sorry if that's a stupid question, I'm new to shrooms.

I'm starting with low doses and gradually going up. It's exciting and I want to up the dose every weekend to finally get into the truly hallucinogenic territory.

But I also read that if you do it too often, mushrooms lose their magic and don't have any effect anymore. Then you have to wait months without doing any before the magic comes back. Does it also depend on the dose, or is it only about the amount of time between trips?

I'm going by 0.5g increments, I'm due for 1.5g this coming weekend (it would be the third weekend in a row.)

So, how often is too often? Is every weekend too much? And if it is too often, what's a good amount of time between trips? And how does microdosing works if you can't take shrooms too often before they lose their effect?

It really depends on each person and if their mind can appropriately process that much stimuli between doses.  When you overdo it you feel it; depression, obsession, anxiety, weird thoughts, etc, and then you just simply cut back.  It is all part of us just finding our way with these substances :mushroom2:

In case you're curious, my experience is once every 2 weeks is too much for me but once every 3 weeks is perfectly fine.

Depends on dose and intensity of experience. Nowadays I just microdose as needed and dose higher when I get the itch. No real “schedule” but it likely comes out to 2-4 proper trips a year. I went once a week for about 6 months and all was fine until a particularly bad trip struck, the content of which took a long time to process and required about a year away from psychedelics except for microdosing.

I use to eat shrooms once a week for 5 months straight. Eventually it seems you just can't trip as good that way. Spacing it out and planning has always proven better for me.

Thanks for the answers. How does it work for people who microdose every day? Aren't they also affected by taking it every day?

I never microdosed, so I don't know how it works. I am also curious about it, and how it works. 

But I do know that the chemicals in mushrooms are not a "party" thing ... I know that the tolerance factor exists.


I also think the way that you approached this question was a bit of the wrong question. Not how they could help you... but how the mushrooms could be helped by you.

Don't worry once you're getting into heavy territory you won't trip so often :lol:

If u microdose everyday, your tolerance for shrooms isnt very high. Tolerance is very much dose dependent.

I used to trip on about 1-2grams every weekeend. Tolerance definitely built up. I would say ideally, 1-2 medium to high doses per month is best. I find it more enjoyable if you space them out more.

And once u start taking bigger doses, youre gunna wanna take some breaks.

there are two kinds of tolerance when it comes to psychedelics. physical 5-9 days (visual, auditory, and feeling) and psychological 1-3 months (emotional, spiritual, and logical breakthroughs) time depends on dosage, diet, exercise, hydration and collection of new experiences to reflect upon in the experience

Depends on who you ask

I wouldn't worry about over doing it or losing magic

Just move slow and do what feels right to you

I microdosed for 30 daya straight before while tripping on larger doses

I was doing mushrooms about weekly with some lsd mixed in to take it's place for a while

Ime they self regulate

Imo they are medicine and different people need different amounts and different frequency depending on them

Just start slow. Move slow. Do what feels right to you. You'll know. You won't abuse them. Imo.

Someone else may say otherwise :shrug:

It's hard to abuse something that is not meant to be abused, in my opinion. It's when people start combining a sacred thing like mushrooms with other addictive abusive substances, that mushrooms get a bad name.

Sort of like how the only deaths related to Kratom had tons of other chemicals in the system too.


It's a tough life living sober, but it's just like a grind. I feel like a normal person just blind to the greater good and just a drone slaving away.


I long for my awakening. I do know, that since I have not done drugs in many many years, that only a tiny bit will set me off , since I am so sensitive to them.


This would seem more like the time to microdose, given my circumstances.

My experience is the same as for Enkido.  Start slow, move slow, you will know.  I feel mushrooms give me clarity and guidance.

Couple years ago heavy every weekend.  Then i just without thought slowed down.  I'll take month or two break without much thought,  then do a couple months every other weekend.

Since ive been getting in to really high doses,  it requires a LOT more recovery time for my body and head,  so they've become less frequent.  This last weekend was supposed to be a big one but didn't work out. I went low dose because i was testing out my recent crop of monster cincts.  Which were far more intense than i had planned ...but still not what i had planned.

Figure out what works for your journey,  it'll regulate itself.

There's some great info on this conversation,  perspectives from many skilled psychonauts...

I agree they seem to regulate themselves.

I too was heavy often then it just tapered out.

Maybe I got what I needed :shrug:

Recently had a 3 month break which for me is heard of these last few years.

Maybe there's some truth to the whole "once you get the message, hang up the phone"

Or maybe once the medicine does it's job you no longer need as much or as frequently.

Lately I enjoy sobriety and habe been pretty content with it.

To me that is a very beautiful thing

I agree with dennis mckenna. they're full of lessons that need to be revisited throughout life

I just go with the flow. If I have some downtime and don't have much to do the next day, I'll dose. In the summer I like to take around 2.5g and go for bike rides and days at the beach and stuff. I dont need them to have a good time.. but when you can enhance your senses it's a higher quality of life. And if ya have them, why not use them.

I think a large majority get into this kind of thing and get to a point where they scare the shit out of themselves and slow down. High doses are the shit. But it's unknown territory and strange things come to light.

I take them when I feel the need to. That's usually about every 3-4 months.

Took my last eigth about a month ago and still don't feel like taking them. In fact, taking them again so soon seems rather unpleasant.

It depends, mostly they're self regulating.  But I've tripped heavily multiple days a week for weeks and sometimes months, depending on what I was doing with them.  You have to have a serious motivation to go there that often though.

Still, my ordinary sober mind is totally satisfying and I don't have the need to dose like in the past.  :shrug:

Except for research.
