I concur with many of the other commenters here: my favorite dosage is 3.5 grams dried. I find the visual effects are very interesting both with eyes closed and eyes open at that level. With open eyes, the most intense effect I've had was a sensation that I was viewing the room I was in with a 360 degree radial view (difficult to describe it better than that with mere words), but there are also more subtle effects like shadows that logically shouldn't be moving at all flowing on the walls like water. I often experience synesthesia when listening to music with closed eyes at this dosage, which is fantastic.
This is also the dosage where I really start to feel my sense of self dissolve, which can sometimes be a horrifying experience, but it's always refreshing to come back to myself afterwards. I find that this can be one of the more medicinal effects of mushrooms - it's remarkable to me that you can go so far from your sense of self and return psychologically intact, and I often come out a trip like that feeling extremely grateful that I exist, which is a wonderful feeling to have.
That said, I also experience some less-than-desirable effects at 3.5 grams. Sometimes, I get really hot from eating that many mushrooms. I sweat a lot and have to focus on drinking lots of cool water.

I had my heart rate slow drastically at 3.5gs on one of my trips while speaking with God. He mentioned that I was an old soul and if I wanted to be at peace he would take me, and I shed a tear because part of me wanted to go but the other 3/4ths thought about my family and how selfish I’d be to leave this planet where so many are in pain. I only ever actually done them with my eyes shut. The 5gs trip I had my eyes open and the swirls were prevalent. Very intense and powerful trip that day. I have had the shadows move when I was 2gs in. Very awesome time these provide. Taught me I may be powerful but the shrooms are way more powerful than I ever could imagine.

It’s madness sometimes when you really sit back and think about it. Occasionally I think ; “I’m too old for this shit” lol. A few weeks back I did actually have a bad trip; the first bad trip id say in about 30 years. I wasn’t screaming and writhing around or anything like that, it was just bad. After about 5 hours, after wifey had gone to bed leaving me as I’d be “alright in the morning”, I tried to go to bed to see if that would help. As soon as the lights went out, I felt instantly suffocated by my quilt, and the bedroom came alive. Hahaha, 35 years of tripping and I was still sort of expecting (hoping.....) the trip would end just because I was suffering and wanted to go to sleep.....

Can’t seem to find my sweet spot, or I’m just not experienced enough. Grew my own, have done 3.5 twice, and 5G once. 2 alone, and one with a friend....I keep hearing him say “people take too little “ was thinking going for 7G next....Any advice on how to surrender? I always end up in this place where I feel like I’m being pulled. Same song , same early feeling , that I’ve been here a thousand times. I have not broken through yet, and my last 3.5, I got sent straight to that place, and fought my dumb ass off the whole trip. I really want to experience the places , teachings, and self reflection everyone speaks of, so I can share this with as many as will listen...Any advice is appreciated

You fight off the feeling of being pulled and don't surrender to it you mean? I don't know, I haven't had that many experiences. I have had this feeling of being pulled too though, or something like that. Like I said in another post on the P.E forum that I think the best thing to do is to relax and get into a state of trance. Can your expectations ruin it or something, and you become too self aware?

Everyone is different, however I would just add an additional 3 grams on top of wherever you feel gets you that almost there feeling. If that doesn’t help, you should ask yourself if any other drugs are affecting your ability to trip

It does often take quite a few experiences before you can truly let go. And when you do, it is a whole different trip. I suggest you stick to your usual 3.5g, but do it alone, and be ready. I know you can never be ready, but when the fear comes, don’t run away. Instead, question it, question yourself, question what it is that is actually frisghteneing you. And then try to “let go”. I sometimes think it’s more a case of accepting the fear rather than letting go. You may get to a point, after you have faced up to whatever it is that is making you anxious, where you realise what’s the worst that can happen; it’s a sort of “fuck it” moment. What have you got to lose? Every time you have been here, you have resisted, it has been miserable. Don’t resist. Go with it.
Once you do have that breakthrough, there’s no going back brother

I am not yet sure what my favorite dose is, but 4 grams with harmalas and greens is a pretty sweet experience. Less doesn't do a whole lot to me and more I simply haven't had material to explore well enough... My most interesting trip has been with 7 grams + harmalas + greens which gave me something like level 3.5 trip, a bit more than 3 but certainly not 4... I will go higher in future as I want to reach that mythical level 5
