5g Golden Teacher disappointment

My first & only mushroom experience was about 15 years ago. They were locally picked mushrooms. My cousin and i made tea but i have no idea how many grams we used. It was the most amazing experience of my life! So much that i intentionally never used again after because i was afraid i would become addicted (because of how much i loved the experience. Now, about 15 years later I recently got an ounce of (dried) Golden Teacher mushrooms. I ground them into powder and put into gelatin pill capsules for easy consumption. I wanted to trip, but also be careful at the same time, so i took (approx) 3g with some orange juice about 8 hours after me last meal. After the nausea came and went, which i did expect, i was clearly "high", but the "trip" never came. The "high" (comparable to having smoked a lot of weed with a couple drinks) came and went with in a couple of short hours. When i knew i was "coming down" (but still "high") i grabbed another 2g and took them, with no noticable results. So with a total of (approx) 5g dried shrooms i was left with a couple short hours of a decent "high" and a whole lot of disappointment. If anyone with shroom experience has any comments and/or advice i would be very grateful for your input. Thank you.

Sounds like they aren't very potent. If it were me, I'd wait a few days at least and then try to lemon Tek a bit larger amount. Personally I like to steep it then put in a little sugar, makes it more palatable(and effective) especially because you want to down it as quickly as possible. Are you on any medications or have you done any other recreational drugs recently?

Someone gave you a bad product. Probably badly stored, expired, genetically weak duds grown by some sloppy stoner.
Btw. after onset eating more gives you very little to nothing. Tolerance kicks in very fast.
Btw2. the only way of ingesting mushrooms I approve of is Lemon Tek. Everything else is waste of time.

They could just be weak mushrooms, but it sounds more to me like they’ve degraded. Either poor drying or poor storage. You should have felt much more from 3g. The additional 2g is totally irrelevant, as you only have about an hour (or less) before tolerance kicks in and any extra mushrooms after that don’t strengthen the trip, the simply extend it.
I have had 2 trips this year like you describe. Both were from different crops, and both of which I damaged during drying of one, and making into fresh tea and freezing the other. Both crops were thrown in the bin.
Learn to grow your own. After chucking all my stocks in the bin, I have now replenished in a couple of months:
35 ice cubes from fresh PES Amazonian Psilocybe cubensis, each cube equivalent to 1.8g. Had 2 last week, they are really stron (Done with 1:50 citric acid) 55ml alcohol tincture equivalent to 27g dry Mazatapec Psilocybe cubensis Over 200g dried Amazonian Over 200g dried Red Boy Psilocybe cubensis (never heard if these before, apparently named because they drop red spores, and they do; but I’ve tried these and they are SUPER strong)
And I’ve got 8 rye grain jars colonising of single sector (isolated?) amazonian........
Should have enough to keep me going for a few weeks

Thank you for the response. I will definitely look up and try the "lemon tek" thing (lol, sorry, i am new to this). Also, no i am not on meds and dont use recreational drugs other than weed, but had not smoked in a couple days before trying the shrooms.

If you do learn to grow your own, it opens up a whole new chapter in your life. One from which it will be difficult to go back from. And the love you put into each crop is felt when you take the mushrooms.
And because you have grown them yourself, it removes that fear that you’ve eaten poisonous mushrooms 
The only thing you have to worry about then is that you are going mad

haha, thank you. I plan to research growing/cultivating my own. Since i have zero experience it may take some looking into to get started, but it definitely sounds like the way to go! Thanks again friend!

This is the perfect place to do that research. I knew nothing about mycology and thanks to the amazing people who have written up and shared their teks, I'vegot two shoeboxes and 3 half pint jars well on their way to growing mushrooms and looking good so far.
Even with buying some initial supplies that I can reuse or usethe rest of for more grows, it's going to be way cheaper and safer than buying from some stranger. And I'm getting enjoyment out of learning skills and seeing the mycelium that I incubated thrive.
Good luck!

I've always found my trips to be extremely underwhelming even on high doses (5g+) if I don't smoke weed on the come-up. This definitely isn't the case with LSD, but in my experience it seems that weed "activates" the mushrooms to some extent for me.

Hey now I've eaten 4g then 2 hours later eaten another 4g leading me to a room mede of jewels. A re up dose might not do much but if you double your dose you'll see a difference.

I have noticed that too,,bro. I have confirmed it to myself this year, because of some of the intense trips I’ve been having, I decided to cut out cannabis for a while. The only trip without cannabis that worked as it should, was a trip at the end of Feb from FRESH Mazatapec. I have had double the dried dose since with no decent trip!
