Questions re: tolerance, strains, and polypharmacy.
    #26742433 - 06/13/20 06:39 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hi all! I am new to 'shrooms (first 1g dose at the start of May). I'm learning more every day, and I've already posted a few questions here.

What I am finding most frustrating is how variable the effects are from dose-to-dose. I bought a scale to measure, so it isn't just me being bad at guessing. I make a tea, and brew it twice like I've found on a few websites. Here are my questions:

    Why the variability? I know some is probably tolerance, because I've really gotten into this and can't wait. But at the same time, I've done small (1g) doses back to back and sometimes had the second dose be way more potent than the first. What I found most disappointing was doing 3g one Saturday and getting an incredible trip--ego death, loss of any concept of time, real opportunity for introspection. I got impatient and did 3.5g 2 weeks later and had some OK hallucinations and stuff but it was like 2/3 the intensity of the first high.

I'm stuck because I have a crazily busy July, and I'll only have 2 weeks between that last trip and my next/last opportunity for a month. Should I increase the dose?

    Is it OK to mix strains?

    Is it OK to mix weed if I find the trip isn't hitting where I want?

    Will 1g tonight ruin my tolerance for a planned 3-4g trip in 6-8 days?

EDIT: the messed up numbering is not my fault

Had to laugh dude; you mention how you’ve already been posting questions on here, yet this is your first post! Amazing, Lol, you can time travel.

The strength of mushrooms can vary wildly within the same harvest, if it is a multi spore grow, and if that harvest hasn’t then been homogenised (by making it all into a tea then freezing, or grinding all up and mixing together), this may happen every time you dose.

Regarding mixing strains, I have had mixed success from this; generally speaking two different strains taken at the same time have not acted “synergistically” for me.

Good luck

Hah! I C&P'd from another board I am on.

Thank you for the thoughts. I confess to being pretty disappointed with my last trip. I may opt for 4g with an expectation of going very far down that rabbit hole.

Good luck with that. If the 4g is average mushrooms, you’ll have a great experience. For me, it’s just about bordering on the so called ego death, or more correctly, ego dissolution, where you are still “you”, but you are totally separate from your body.

Have a good one

Yes, yes, no.

Trips are all different anyway.  Sometimes the same dose from the exact same crop, even well mixed, will have different results.  It's set and setting and dose all together and they are rarely the same.  Savor the good ones and learn from the others. :cookiemonster:

I wouldn't mix weed since it makes me fall asleep early, sometimes. The paranoia can also make it seem like others are angry at me.
