Frequency?

Curious, have their ever been times where you we’re tripping often? Like multiple times per week, or even daily at maybe a festival? Just curious, I thought I heard some ceremonies in Peru last for a few days, but that’s ayahuasca.

Check out some ofmPrimalSoup’s posts,,he’s a guru at this. From memory each day he ups the dose by approx x1.5, up until a maximum dose of approx 250g wet.

I concur.
Personally, for micro doses (.1-.4g) I’ve tried daily, low doses (.5-2g) I’ve done weekly, mid doses (2-3g) every two weeks and high doses (3g+) is monthly for me.
I understand the pull to do it often. But most of us need time to integrate.

Only reason I’m itching to trip a few days later is because I felt like my 6g venture was a mess. I was just fumbling over my thoughts and tumbling around in bed. Never got comfortable or really entered into the trip. Sadly it’s been two days and I have zero to take away from it. 5g the week prior was MAGIC.

Years ago I went like a week and a half taking LSD or mushrooms every night.
It wasnt any ceremonial or ritualistic kind of thing. I was just bored.

I’ve had those kinds of experiences a handful of time. I took them as a sign that I need to right some wrongs and make some significant changes in my life or, at least, in my day to day routine. It usually works and my subsequent experience is always much more to expectation (but that may also just be statistical coincidence).
Either way, I totally understand. I’m itching for more and my last experience was incredible for only being 1.5g. But I know patience is key here. This is a journey for me and I don’t foresee an end to my working with these beautiful mushrooms, therefore I’m in no rush. If you’re supplying yourself, and intend on taking this journey for the foreseeable future, you’ll have the level of experience you want along the way and then some.
My recommendation, take this time to do some personal sober reflection. Try out meditation if you aren’t currently doing it or another activity that could help you reach similar states (being in a pitch black room just listening to music puts me in a similar headspace to psilocybin and the experience is spiritually/emotionally parallel).
Also, wait at least a week, that’s not that long of a wait. It’s just to ensure you don’t start trying for this experience too frequently and end up with a chain of disappointment. I’d personally wait 2-4 week but everyone is different and only you know when you are truly ready. (Itching to do it is not necessarily a full readiness of mind, body, tolerance, and spirit. Sometimes it’s just overeagerness if the ego).
And lastly, stop looking to your previous experience. You will never replicate it. Each experience will be different. Each experience will have different takeaways (if any). And each experience is a step on the journey. Take it from me (I tried to replicate my first experience so much so that when my second one didn’t match, I didn’t care for mushrooms for another year until the literally called to my soul).

I think with taking psychedelic too frequently, you being to lose the magic of the experience. I try to take a month break or more between trips and then when it comes time, you go as deep as you need to.
It's like a magic trick; when you know the trick, it's not exciting or fun. Try to take a break for a couple weeks at least. During that time, plan things, build a new music playlist, gather things that you'll enjoy during your trip like candles or art etc. Or plan a new outdoor trip. The longer you stay away, the fresher it will be when you come back to it.

Very good advice. Thank you!

I've did the thing where I was tripping every weekend - but then the mushrooms handed me an extremely difficult trip and it set me off on eating them again for awhile. I believe it was that trip that made me understand I can't eat them that frequently like they aren't something out of this world.
So now - I'm tripping once or twice a month (lately its been once over a month and a half) - I have a lot of shit going on upstairs, and I do still live with my parents. So, I like to be outside when I trip so I don't have to worry about being around people while I'm tripping.
But, honestly - I may just take a dose tonight. They seem to be calling me. Though, I just did have an extremely difficult trip a few days ago - but there's something telling me to take them tonight...... I

I know exactly what that feels like. I recently did a 6g trip and had a rough time, just couldn’t settle in and was tumbling around in my bed. This anxiety was just hanging on for some Reason. It wasn’t scary it just wasn’t magical. But I feel that sense you speak of, that “there’s something waiting for me” feeling. I’m in the thick of major breakthrough but the advice to me has been to hold off for a couple weeks and I’m taking that seriously from the veterans here.

Definitely lol.
Over the past 10+ years, on average I trip about once every 2 months or so. I haven't tripped much at all over the past 2 years because of shit going on in my life and not having the opportunity to do so.
But there has certainly been a handful of times over the years where I trip more frequently.
I actually prefer and really enjoy tripping 2 days/nights in a row, when I have the opportunity to do so I will always dose two days in a row (mushrooms specifically). Dosing mushrooms multiple days in a row is my favorite way to work with them.
At festivals I always dose 3 days in a row (mushrooms first night, LSD + Mushrooms + MDMA OR MDA the second night, and mushrooms the 3rd night).
When camping or backpacking out in the wilderness I like to dose a few days in a row.
There are certain occasions and a few times through out the year where I will dose multiple days in a row or trip 3 or 4 times within the span of 2 to 3 weeks, but ideally I prefer to trip once to twice a month. I find that when I'm tripping more regularly (like once to twice a month) I get a lot more out of my trips versus only tripping a few times a year. When tripping more frequently I find my day to day cognition is sharper and enhanced, my head space is much more clear and my head literally feels "lighter", I'm not nearly as anxious and don't have as much lowly/negative emotions, I'm more motivated and active, I'm more outgoing and social, my mood/spirits are lifted, all around I just feel sharper and a "better me".
As long as I have the chance to do so...I plan on tripping about once a month or so for the rest of my life.
