A learning Experience /w 7.5 grams????...left with questions...

Hi There all!
I was able to get my hands on: 7.5 grams of psilocybe cubensis transkei mushrooms.
I am a 30 year old male roughly 210 pounds 6ft tall. I'm on no medications/ssris
I have a lot of use with psychedelics, It used to be strictly a party drug for me up until last year. When i decided to use it as a tool to go within. I have always felt like LSD was stronger and guaranteed me an effect. But I've let go of that and I'm trying to use mushrooms now.
This is my second attempt at trying this dosage and this exact way with no success. The first time i kept my eyes open in the complete darkness for the whole experience but didn't go anywhere. I was told that's why nothing happened.
This time i was going to close my eyes and see if anything happens.
I've broken down my process into steps to hopefully learn what i can do better and make this experience what i have heard it can be from others.
Step 1: I blended the mushrooms up in my blender to a fine power.
Step 2: I then used my instant hot water maker to boil some water.
Step 3: I grabbed some green tea boiling water & mushrooms. I put them into a mug and stirred occasionally for 15 minutes.
Step 4: I removed the tea and the mushroom powder Drank the the full mug in about 2 minutes & went to the bathroom for one last tinkle.
Step 5: I shut off all the lights and layed down on my bed. I started with some Wimm hoff breathing which I've been practicing lately 3 rounds then i just relax into the moment.
This is where things typically go sideways, I start off wondering whether its going to work..telling myself i should have eaten the chunks of mushrooms as well,
Then i ask myself its working, I try to stay some what focused but my minds wandering constantly. I try and refocus myself feeling my body with no avail I begin to hear this ringing in my eyes that i heard again last time.
It causes me to wince but i try and let go to it, I keep getting caught up in memories and side tracked in a loop every new thought i end up running with which usually happens when I try and meditate... I eventually open my eyes and see I am definitely visually high, but I have gone no where... Within 2.5 hrs its completely gone and I'm left Feeling defeated once again.
Now from a good portion of the trip reports where people see god etc,I've read they start off meditating and eventually lose there consciousness within 20mins. While the other half they are just doing whatever and it sorta overtakes them. The only thing i can make of this right now is i need to build a stronger mediation process before i attempt this again.
Conclusion: With what i believed to be a higher dose I thought if I sat in bed relaxing waiting for it to come i'd go somewhere for sure....
Which leaves me to looking for feedback from this great community here.
Thanks for reading and i'd really appreciate any feedback <3

Well, could always try growin your own then eat alot more. My last trip i ate like 15 dry grams then a whole bunch of fresh clusters, the fresh ones i left in my mouth like tobacco chew for awhile just chewin and straining it with my cheeks before finally swallowing it. Never did "total" darkness but slightly dim lighting where i could just barely see and just like you i get lost in my thoughts and hear ringing(tinnitus maybe) haha. Never saw "God" but every single thought i had blasted me into that reality like id been there my whole life then all of a sudden i would come crashing back down and realize im still sitting in my little rockin chair before another seemingly small thought came up and i was gone again. If i didnt have experience with a few other "uncomfortable" psychedelics like certain spices n salvia extracts i prolly woulda flipped out haha As for the tea maybe try mushboys method, in a nutshell its actually boiling them in a pot for awhile then reducing the liquid and straining. I dont think just pouring the boiling water on them really allows it to extract all of the alkaloids

Sounds like you might be getting week mushrooms. Iv had people tell me they couldn’t ever trip on shrooms but they tried a eighth of mine and were loosing there shit. I’d recommend looking up the PF Tek and growing your own. It’s really simple and u just need one tub. Also it helps to actually boil the mushrooms in tea for 10 min then strain and drink. Also don’t try so hard to go somewhere or see god, it will happen without a choice most of the time. Music while I’m tripping really gets me soaring more than anything, no dark room needed.

Yeah either weak shrooms or you have a really high tolerance. Also where I'm at its not exactly uncommon for people to lie to you about what species they're selling. Mostly it's people selling cubensis as pan. Cyanescens so they can up the price and rip people off. So I wouldn't be surprised if someone sold you pan subbs or something weak and told you they were cubes.

Regardless, 7.5g of cubes should do a lot more than that in most cases. I was going to ask how often you were taking them, you are allowing plenty of time between trips to drop tolerance, yes?

Thanks for the responses!
I will look into growing my own some more, as well check out that method for making tea. I think i do have a high tolerance. I've been told that before, but i thought it was more the environment i was in i could control it. Where as here i was trying to let it all come as it pleased.
Forester when you say plenty of time, what are we talking here? It was two weeks between attempts.
Thanks <3

Do you feel anything from a micro dose? 0.1 grams to 0.3?

I can't say I've ever done less than 1g. that was usually in a social setting, where I had the giggles And tracers.
Something that I didn't mention prior was I didn't feel any of uncomfortable come up. It suprised me.

Try this, break your shrooms up real tiny, don’t worry about turning them too powder just crumble them really small.
Toss them in a mug and pour boiling water on them. Let that steep until the water is cool and then drink the tea and eat the shrooms. They’ll be soft so they’ll go down easy.
7.5 grams should have hit you unmistakably hard so I’m guessing either weak/bunk shrooms or your tea method isn’t pulling out as much as it should.

I will definitely try that, do you believe the kind of tea plays a role in it at all?
Upon further research: Pressure on head and ears, which Americans call rocket-launching-into- Is a symptom of losing you're consiousness. From the book of the dead. There was reports on it being tinnitus, or just a sign you're ego is being lost and that you need to accept it and breath through it
Thanks!

Think your tea method need change. We would steep on simmer for long time before drinking. Kinda set to simmer and forget about it.
7.5g would have noticeable effects.

Just use water, throw it down real quick. Don’t worry about making it taste good. You’ll know if it works.
Disclaimer: 7.5 grams is a whopper of a dose. Keep in mind that the reason you’re not feeling it is likely because something is wrong. Make sure you don’t up the dose based on that experience and end up getting annihilated when you get some shrooms that actually do work and dose too high.

What he said /\
Get some mushrooms and eat a gram or so. You should feel a bit of that. 7.5g will be a good strong dose to one not having experienced.

Also make sure your getting cracker dry shrooms, if there not completely dry they won’t be as strong because they still have a little weight.

Intresting, I definitely have Experiance. I used to eat a quarter and go for hikes in my early twenty's every couple months. I also Experianced open eyed visuals during this trip but nothing crazy... hopefully it was my method/ a batch that wasn't potent or stored correcttly
Also nobody seems to think it's an ego thing here. When I've dabbled with other substances like DMT. I have definitely struggled with ego stopping me from going further. So I didn't wanna rule that out.
Thanks guys.
I shall try again soon and let you guys know.
Cheers!

If you've eaten quads of cubes on other occasions without crazy effects I'd say you must have a crazy naturally high tolerance lol. Or you just get unlucky and always get weak stuff but seems unlikely over multiple different batches. Your ego/self can stop you from going deep in some cases but at 7 grams with a normal tolerance you should be gonzo regardless.

Agree /\
When people speak of eating mushrooms and nothing happened. I want go see that. Go to them and watch them eat a quarter and not have anything happen. Be mind boggling

My goodness. 3g/4g can do WONDERS. Clearly, something is wrong - when you get that real trip of 7.5g you're going to be drooling and flicking your ball sack like a light switch.
Tread with caution. Grow your own.
