Hello people! I am new here but have read a lot on the forum over the last year so I thought I would joina, you seem to know a lot!
I have a question that I find nothing about. I have eaten 50g fresh mushrooms many times lately. But lately when I take 50g or less, I don't drip anything, I just get really anxious. Everytime. What could it be? Is it because of the tolerance?
Thinking about if it is because my body got used to it and now needs more to "break through". Because if I don't "break through" I just seem to be anxious. It seems to be either or for me.
What do you think?

Welcome to the shroomery
How often are you consuming them? If its every couple days you probably have a high tolerance.
You could have some not so potent mushrooms.
If you are on certain medications such as SSRI's that could have a lot to do with it.

Thanks man,
I have been taking them for a few months, sometimes 3 times a week maybe and sometimes it has been a few weeks in between.
I'm not taking any medication.
Feels like my tolerance is almost permanent, as it can take 2-3 weeks without taking anything. And so I take and then I just get really anxious. No trip at all but just anxious.

That might be the trip trying to tell you to change your habits. If that's what repeatedly happens then maybe try changing things. Waiting 2-3 weeks is not long at all between trips, especially after the rate you had been taking them, but I imagine if you stop for a few months and then trip again the experience will be better.

Still pretty crazy to me that you're eating 5g of mushrooms with no "trip". Regardless of your headspace at that time, you're going to trip. There's no way you can have that much psilocybin coursing through your body with just the feeling of anxiety.
I'm not calling you a liar or anything by any means - but if you're not on medication and taking breaks for 2/3 weeks (which is plenty of time to reset) - I'm going to have to say that you've got some extremely weak mushrooms there brother.

Can confirm. I take an SSRI and I usually take anywhere from 7 to 14 grams when I trip; 7 grams is like a nice 3.5 gram trip and 14 is when I really wanna go deep. You just have to increase the dose.

There was a time when I ate around 50g-100g fresh mushrooms 3-4 days a week for 1-2 months. Had nothing to do so thought it would be fun. Each trip did not produce the same effect, but I felt tolerance of course. But after that I took nothing for 3 months. And when I took again after 3 months, it felt like the tolerance was almost the same, as if it were permanent. Could it be that I simply need higher doses because I have eaten high doses so many times?

I know it sounds weird brother, but it's true. I'm just getting anxious. Before, I could feel the trip, but now I just get anxious.
The question is maybe, is it normal to get anxious if you have tolerance / taking too little? Maybe you get stuck in the middle of tripping and not tripping?

Low doses are less trip and more headspace, so for me can feel anxiety inducing. I really feel the mushrooms are telling you to chill for a while.

If I take less than 7 grams, I'll still feel it (kinda like I ate a really good edible); once it gets down to about 3.5-4 grams, that's when it starts to do very little; I won't get much visuals and little to no introspective thoughts.
But at higher doses, it's like how it used to be before I was on medication. I don't mind taking higher doses; as long as I can get the desired effect I'm looking for, I'm good.

Yes. Sometimes you need to go that little bit farther to get properly settled into the experience. That's where you need to just push through a bit more. Sitting on the borderline can be annoying and disorienting.
