RRedBBeard said: I'm coming from the the other side of 'what just (didn't) happen?'... To clear up the usual questions of personal demographics and prior experience: I'm pushing 65 fast, in good health except for a persistent 'low level' depressive mindset that stems perhaps more from 'nurture' than nature, hence my first interest is microdosing, followed closely by curiosity about the experience of larger doses. I took adderall and bupropion for ~7 years, quit them cold turkey about 2 months ago when I decided to explore mushrooms, and started making cultures. And the heart of the medical history: I have a higher than normal tolerance of physical pain, as well as a lot of resistance to many 'mainstream' pain killers. My recreational drug experience was a very limited use of pot in my teens, and not much else after that. I developed an allergy to pot smoke--but could cook with it if I wanted to. Don't drink, don't smoke. Chemically, life has been boring for at least 40 years. I identify with those who have taken progressive mushroom doses, who wonder if the shroom batch was a dud. I've written posts over the past couple of weeks on the shroom potency question, and won't repeat the whole thing here.
Briefly: first dose of mushrooms ever was 2 weeks ago, ~21g wet of GT. After an hour of feeling a little fuzzy, got up and washed dishes, did a little stuff around the apartment, and even went to visit someone next door, although I know I wouldn't want to drive in that condition. I microdosed (0.2g) a few days later. 2nd trip attempt was 8 days ago, 2.1g of B+ harvested/dried a few days prior. Had pretty colors with eyes closed, open-eyed wasn't too different from first time. Afterward, I did chat on line with a friend, and laughed harder than I have in a long time, which was something I needed, so the shroom experience was not a bust. 3rd dose was 2.7g of B+. I figured this would be a continuation of the previous, slightly lower dose. Nope. I ended up listening to a favorite album, no visuals, feeling slightly horny. Did a couple hours of shroom culture prep afterwards.
I'm really tempted to wait a couple days, and try a much larger dose, such as 5g, and regardless of the experience, then lay off for a couple weeks, except for a weekly microdose. I know my attitude and outlook have changed for the better, and the microdoses can be felt indirectly at least in that way.
Lay it on me--what's your take on all this? Maybe 5g once a month would be just normal for my metabolism?
You should make this a main post, I think it would make its own great topic. So, I won’t comment on it in this topic. I only found it because I was looking for chum to troll to the surface, but, now, I want to encourage you to post this up in this forum as it’s own topic, or even the getting started forum would be a good home for it. 
I am glad to see another elder on this forum and excited to read about your journey into psychedelia.

This will take away from the topic itself and you've asked a pretty solid question.

Nope. Totally cool. It might help anyone else reading through this thread who also has something to share and isn’t quite sure where to post, or didn’t know what kind of posts are better as response posts and which deserve their own threads.
Happy to see the thread you made over in Getting Started is getting feedback, I will post there later, give everyone a chance first before I get in there and derail it, lol
