5.5g of dried Golden Teacher and nothing.

I have been fasting all day long before eating them. I am not on any medication. My friends ate 1.5 grams each few weeks ago and had pleasant little trip. So I know they were good. But,it was few weeks back. I didn't have time to consume them till yesterday. They were in plastic sandwich box. Is it possible they have lost their potency or it is me? Any thoughts?

Mushrooms can vary quite drastically in potency, with that being said 5.5g of cubensis should have had you floored IMO. Did you grow and dry them yourself? When not properly dried they can lose actives over time.
Hope you get to the bottom of it

Did you recently stop taking any medication? Past couple of months?

Yes I've forgotten to mention that I was on antidepressants couple months ago. I was on them for few years. Maybe my brain is still affected by medication and it is preventing me from tripping. 🤔

I have heard of medications of that kind (SSRI?) affecting people's ability to experience mushrooms, it's worth doing research on it. There is a lot of good info on the shroomery. You wouldn't be the first or probably the last person that this has happened to, while some people have no problem tripping even while activly taking anti depressants. I'd wait for more people to chime in on this, I have very limited knowledge and experience in the topic. Here is an active discussion on the subject https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26406299 Some good info there.

Yep, anti-depressants are what you need to avoid. After years of use, your body may need up to 4 months to trip properly

MycoStu, I’ve posted on there, getting off SSRIs is something I am passionate about.
OP - it took me 5 months being completely off SSRIs before I got my first proper trip.
