OK. I think fresh stones( im taking it that you are talking about Philosopher Stones/Truffles) are more then twice as strong then fresh cubes and contain less water (50% or something compaired to the 90% of actual mushrooms) there for shouldnt ube using half as many stones as you would fresh ones?

I ate a gram and 1/2 the only time i ever ate them and had a crazy trip,pretty close to a level three,so i guess it depends on the stones.

I heard their dosage depends on their age......but on that note i think we we each eat 3 grams dry. which means if they are not that old we should still have a level 3 trip and well if they are on the potent side I will see you when I get back .Thnx for everones help these are a little harder to find info on so hopfully we can get a little more out their.

Cervantes said This question gets asked a lot and it is good to know the answer. How potent is sclerotia when compared with cubensis? It depends. Fresh sclerotia is 2x as potent as fresh cubensis... gram for gram. Dry sclerotia is 2/3 as potent as dry cubensis gram for gram. "WTF?", you ask. No, mexicana doesn't lose a HUGE amount of potency when it is dried. When fresh, Mexicana sclerotia is 30% dry matter and only 70% water. Compare this to a fresh cube which is 90% water and only 10% dry matter. When you eat fresh sclerotia... for every bite you take, you are eating 3X as much fungus per bite than you do when you chew on a fresh cube. Once dried, the potency comparison changes completely. Without the water, a dry gram of sclerotia is 100% dry matter and a gram of cubensis is 100% dry matter too. Duh! So a dry gram of sclerotia contains the same amount of dry matter as a dry gram of cubensis. Simple. Dry sclerotia is only 2/3 as potent as dry cubensis. That is how it is. What follows is some simple math. Perhaps this will make more sense to some people. If cubensis potency = 1 Then, sclerotia potency = 2/3 = .66666666666 If fresh sclerotia contains 3X as much dry matter per gram as fresh cubensis, Then, fresh sclerotia = .66666666666 X 3 = 2 Fresh sclerotis is 2X as potent as cubensis.

Thats a great post, the one two posts ago.
Thats the first lucid description I've heard yet of sclerotia potency. Good job...
