3G - APE for My Mom? Her First Time
    #26848316 - 07/27/20 04:25 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

So, I am growing a fresh batch of Ape right now.  My mom has been wanting to try out mushrooms for a long time.  She has only smoked weed once, other than that just alcohol.  I want to give her a level 4 experience, which I know might be pretty strong for a first time. But...  I mean - she is looking for transcendence.  I am planning on giving her 3G of APE.  My wife and I will be trip sitting for here in our beautiful apartment.  The set and setting will be awesome.  My only question is: do you think 3 grams will blow her out of the fucking water?  She is 5'5" 140 pounds.

Hell no.  Initiating someone with heroic doses is a good way to send them to hell and put them off psyches for good.  Just give her a gram of normal cubes for her first try, she'll have a better time going all in after getting a feel for it first. 3g of APE is a hell of a ride even for experienced trippers, start her out in the shallow end of the pond.

I think it could be a truly wondrous experience for her.  Thing is, if I knew you and her in person I could make the call for or against with more confidence - but I don’t.  So...  I can’t really make the judgement call for you or her.  Seeing as I know basically nothing.

The psychedelic experience is unique for everyone, despite the parallels & similarities between each other’s trips, like with dreaming.  You never know with 100% certainty how someone will react until they are in the thick of the experience.  It’s an inherently private experience between the perceived & perceived, a wonder & strange ink blot test of sorts for our perception of reality.  Your mom will be on her own if she takes 3g dry of some potent apes.  I’d rather give someone 3g and potentially turn them off for life, with the chance of them having a transcendent or mystical like experience, than giving them 2g and it feeling like psilocybin fungi  is just another “drug” ( it is, but ya know what I mean) and leading them on for years. 
.  She doesn’t have to become a regular tripper.  A lot of people grow past taking psychedelics at some point for whatever reason.  So I wouldn’t worry about turning her off forever, that’s not the point.  Focus on her and this one trip, that’s all.

What did you take your first time?  And, are you going to turn that flush of Apes into a homogenous powder and try 3g dry of it yourself before giving it to her?  That’s where I would start & the least I would do if I was going to initiate my mother into the world of psychedelics.  Though, knowing my Mom, even if she asked me, I would need to prep her for months and months before even considering it.

There's a high probability of a first time tripper experiencing absolute hell on 3g of APE.  I know, because I've made the mistake of trying to initiate people with similar doses myself.  Not a chance I'd take on my mom of all people.

I too have to agree the dose is high. Over the course of a few weeks or months you guys can work up and maybe beyond but that seems like too much.

:shrug: Yeah Im no expert on it, and I’m also not interested in turning anybody on who hasn’t already done 99% of the hw & work on their own.
The amount of reading and studying & preparation i did before ever ingesting a psychedelic is insane.  I don’t think it’s the norm, but I’m glad I did it.

Ok, so thank you both for the constructive discussion. I agree that it could potentially be too much, but on the other hand - I've known people who have done bigger doses on their first go round.  The problem is that, she doesn't want a mild experience.  I was with my sister and her husband about two weeks ago to initiate them.  I gave my sister 1.75g and her husband 2.2g.  Now...  They are both very large people (she is 220 and he is 300) and they were extremely underwhelmed.  I would definitely try them myself first, but I know what they are going to be...  They are going to be pure fire just like all of my other grows - very potent APE.  I am not of the belief that a cube is a cube.  For me personally, APE blow all other cubes out of the water.

I wanted to follow up on this - can you tell me what you mean by hell?  Of course I have had bad trips, but what do you mean by hell?  An intense experience?  Negative thought loops?  Not understanding the landscape of the psychedelic experience?

My first time was when I was 17 and I took 3.5 grams of strong Penis Envy mushrooms.  I'm 34 now and my normal dose is 5-6 grapes of APE.  That is very interesting, how would you prepare your mom for a strong mushroom trip?  I would find it hard trying to explain the absolute insanity and impossibility of it all.

Yeah thats good advice

Eat some first and see how strong they are

I think you should start smaller though anyway but thats just me

Someone older whos hasnt experienced, it can really knock them loose

I would vote prepare them by starting low and working up

Just because she wants a powerful experience doesn't mean you go out and buy a Ferrari without having some experience. It can go south.  If she's determined she will understand a few practice rounds will be very helpful.

I feel like older people you need to be a bit more careful with

Theyve had a lot longer for their programming to really mold and psychedelics shatter it to bits

Kind of like the matrix..

There's definitely a significant risk here, 3g of APE is no joke even for people with experience, I'd think it would completely overwhelm a first-timer. I'd certainly recommend a lower dose, but if you decide to go through with it, just make sure you take all the proper precautions.

Good luck, I hope it goes well.

I’ve read that (hear say) in the 60s it was common for people to dose 1-2 hits of lsd, each hit containing 200-1000ug for their first trip.

While a lot of people had incredible experiences, those doses messed up a lot of people who took several hits without knowing a damn thing about what’s what when it comes to psychedelics.

I say try the Ape on yourself.  Then you’ll know If they are on the low end or high end of potency & you’ll have a better idea of a good dose for her.

If they are on the high end, 2g of ape can be like 5g of another cube.

I've been catatonic on 2g of APE. A gram of good APE is like an eighth of good regular cubes.  That's pretty wild to me that you view taking 5g APE yourself as not too gnarly. 

I think 1-1.5g APE as a tea should give her a heavy first time experience.  I agree with folks that you don't want to totally overwhelm her. 

What's the value in having her reality totally shattered?  Is there something a high dose can do that moderate doses cant?

Keep in mind some people are more sensitive to psychedelics than others.

I once dosed a girl with 5g of good cubes who was familiar with 100 mic doses of lsd  and she totally lost her shit and was just confused the whole time.  Nothing of value gained despite literally being blinded by visuals and psychedelia.

Oh no - don't get me wrong... 5G of APE is fucking gnarly as hell.  Every time I do it I am scared out of my fucking mind before I drop.  5G is white knuckling-it the whole time on the brink of madness

I just have had a few experiences where 1.5 and 2.2 grams (my sister and my brother in law) did not provide the transcendent experience they were looking for.

Yes - most definitely a higher dose can provide something completely different than a moderate dose.

The threshold between 3g and 5g is staggering.  Let me ask you all a question...  Let's say that 2.8G of good Ape could be the equivalent of 4G of say golden teachers.  If your best bud who smokes weed, and drinks a lot, but has never done psychedelics, comes to you and says - "My man, I want a truly transcendent experience.  I want to see the magic behind the magic mushrooms."  Would you bat an eye at giving him 2.8G or 3G of APE?  Is this push-back mostly because she's a mom in her 50's?

Push back is because you're trying to give her 3g APE for her very first time, I mean I think that itself explains the reactions.  Not everyone immediately knows how to surrender to an intense psychedelic experience.

3g of good APE is like 10g of pretty good cubes.  Like straight up man.  Why would you ever give your mom 10g of pretty good cubes?

I said to test them bc if they are on the lower end of the potency spectrum it’s a lot different from if they are Uber potent.
Anyways, testing will help you gauge a more appropriate dose than just doing nothing but guessing.

Most people CAN'T surrender to an intense psychedelic on their very first trip, which causes one to fight the experience and then it backfires horribly.  This is what I mean by 'going to hell'

This seems reckless since you are using other people as guinea pigs. Instead of them using themselves as test subjects.

Maybe we are making implicit assumptions about it being your Mum. I wouldn't be game to comment on how much MOST MUMs understand about psychedelics but most of the women in their 50s who I know wouldn't have the foggiest about what to expect.

I think this is important too.

It begs the question that seems to do the rounds often on these forums which is "is it better for someone to be fully informed of the risks and benefits of psychedelics beforehand or is it better for them to go in without expectations." FWIW (and I am only new to this world) I think the former is important.
^^ Interested to know what others think here.

So do you think your Mum knows that she will inducing a state of bliss and/or terrifying psychosis that might at times genuinely seem like it will never end?

You can always redose.

Better start low with like 2g. You don't know how she reacts, as everybody reacts differently.

If it's not enough and she wants more after 90min, then just let her eat another gram or two.. :shrug:
(Maybe prepare a tea earlier so that the second dose kicks in fast)

Redosing shrooms works better than most people believe, in my experience.

Firstly, in no world are 3g of good APE like 10g of pretty good cubes.  That is for sure an exaggeration.  But I do agree with you that not everyone immediately knows how to surrender to an intense psychedelic experience.  I guess I am drawing from the fact that she has expressed a desire for a transcendent experience, which at least for me personally does not come with 1G or 2G.  Also, I am drawing from my sister and my brother-in-law's experience of being underwhelmed on 1.75 grams (of which she will be taking the same batch).

I defiantly believe that there are implicit assumptions about it being my mom, and definitely why I am seeking advise here.  Like I said, if your male friend who drank and smoked weed a lot wanted a banger experience, but had never done psychedelics, I don't think many people on this website or in this discussion would take too much of an issue with giving him 3G of APE.  But, and I don't think that I've stated this, I wouldn't ever want to do anything but give my mom an absolutely amazing experience.  My wife and I are going to great lengths to provide an amazing set and setting.  I'm flying her out across the country, and the whole weekend is dedicated to her experience.

I appreciate this question too.  How do you prepare someone for the im-preparable (definitely not a word).  How can you explain to someone that everything they thought they knew about themselves, the world, spirituality and reality in general could be through into question and be plunged into potential madness for a 5 hour period that could seem like a lifetime?  But...  I have been tripping for the last 15 years, at very high doses and relaying to her all of that information.  She knows that reality can be warped to the extreme and the potential for psychological distress is more likely than not.  And still, she wants to take the risk for a transcendent experience.

Mushrooms can be so uncomfortable if you're not attuned to its wavelength. I would personally venture on the cautious side, maybe give her a 1g tek tea so it only lasts 1-3 hours.

Firstly, in no world are 3g of good APE like 10g of pretty good cubes.  That is for sure an exaggeration.  But I do agree with you that not everyone immediately knows how to surrender to an intense psychedelic experience.  I guess I am drawing from the fact that she has expressed a desire for a transcendent experience, which at least for me personally does not come with 1G or 2G.  Also, I am drawing from my sister and my brother-in-law's experience of being underwhelmed on 1.75 grams (of which she will be taking the same batch).





I disagree man, I've been dosing (multispore) APE for like 2 years now, I feel like I have a decent understanding of how insane it can be. If yours are multispore too you cant say for sure the next handful will be weaker too.

Look, I want your mom to have a transcendental experience but dose isnt the only thing that matters in that regard. You're trying to force the experience for her at that point.  Her being able to focus and gain insight from the experience is just as important as dose and if it's too high and it's her first rodeo I dont think itd play out well despite your intentions

Sounds like you've already made up your mind tho

And to answer your question earlier, I dont think I would ever give anyone 3g APE their first time no matter how convincing they were about how they could roll with it.  I sound like such a stick in the mud lol I love high doses too but we gotta respect these chemicals

Nah man, my mind isn't made up, and I really appreciate you and the other people who have weighed in on the situation.  The grand consensus from everyone (except myself) is that 3G is too much.  The last thing I want to do it put my mom in a precarious psychological situation.  I think that I am going to taper it down to 2.3G.  I'm also going to test the batch myself when they are finished and make a gauge of the potency.  One thing that I am going to do is weight out 4.6G and split each mushroom down the middle.  Put each half into a 2 piles.  So I will be testing the exact same shrooms and weight that my mom will be taking.  I don't know if 2.3G will be enough to get her to a transcendent experience, but she can always take more...

Really?  I guess I have always been a go big or go home kind of guy.  I would rather be completely overwhelmed than underwhelmed... But that's just me.

We aren't discussing you here bucko. You might be a big dose guy but that doesn't mean you impose your will just because you think you have it down. You make it seem as though she has only one opportunity to try these things.

And how would your mom even know what underwhelmed or overwhelmed mean? I do feel as though you are being reckless here.

And no I would not give my stoner friend anything by default. It's a case by case situation. I have friends that take less than 2g of cubes and if they asked me out if no where for +5g I would not jump at the opportunity to say yes.

Someone's first time largely shouldn't be aimed at being a transcendent experience, something that can mean a lot of things. Transcendent is something that can happen in sobriety. It's like tossing a kid in a pool so they learn how to swim. Not everyone is going to think that's fun or helpful, especially if they've never experienced water before. The water itself is new. Maybe just let her splash around a little before you send her out into open waters with no experience swimming.

Something to keep in mind:

A dose that might be "mild to strong" for one person can be unbearable psychological hell for someone else.

Each person reacts differently, based on everything from their biological make up to the psychological state when dosing, as well as their subconscious mind.

I don't know your mom, her psychological history, her biological sensitivity to the actives in mushrooms, etc, so I can't begin to theorize what kind of dosage you should give her.

But I concur with most of the posts on this thread that 3G of APEs (assuming they are of the average 1.5-2x potency of regular cubes) is probably too much for someone who has no experience with such substances. And if they are ultra-potent, then it can be overwhelmingly scary for her and she could come out worse for the wear.

LosTresOjos is right. Just because you can jump into the volcano doesn't mean others have the same fortitude. And it's dangerous to project your subjective experience of psychedelics onto others. Many people have dosed way too high, whether knowingly or not, and have been put off for life or, worse, psychologically scarred. Like Los said, there are people who'll take 10g, and have the ability to navigate heaven or hell. But if I took 10g, I imagine I'd come out never wanting to trip again, because I know I'm not ready for such a dose.

Anyway, I'd say 1.5-2g of medium strength APEs is more than enough, and less if they are very potent. She could always take more later on.

Yeah i think the take away is jist better safe than sorry and just slowly move into the watet

Imo if you are young you are more malleable to a trip and mushrooms may show mercy on you

Idk why but for some reason i feel more caution toward older people vs younger, even though noone should imo jump into a level 5 exp.

Its a journey

Enjoy the process (tat's mom)

Well said...  And the take away that I am getting from this is, less is more. 

LosTresOjos - my inclination is to be like, fuck you man, I'm not imposing my will on anyone - she is asking me to do them.  But the more I think about it you are right.  Just because I have found the ultimate truth/hapiness/transcendence in high doses, does not mean everyone else will.  And, I have been doing this for 15 years and know how to navigate the murky waters of hell, should I find myself there.  So, thank you for talking a little sense.  Even though she wants something BIG to happen - I can't set her up for potential doom.

Also well said.  Ok ok - you all have made me see that I might be projecting my own wants and desires for her to achieve an outcome that (while she may be looking for) needs to be built up slowly.  I was taken aback reading some of the John Hopkins studies that they were giving people up to 5 grams for their first dose, but yes..  You are all right - APE is a different fucking story.  If I gave her 3.2G of regular golden teachers, at least those would be more or less an 1/8 power.  You never know how strong APE will be, and I think that is where a lot of the concern comes in as well.  You have all shown me the error of my ways.  Thank you for helping me avoid a potentially harmful experience for her.

Dude, respect the APE!!!  I wouldn't suggest it, my wife and I made tea from 75g fresh and split it.  The come up was so not fun, I got to know the floor intimately for a few hour after I got over the hump.  We were tripping quite frequently at the time, every 2 weeks and I feel that there was some tolerance built up.

Nah man. From what I have read over time and even in this thread, APE is potent and should not be taken lightly. if you wnat her to go hard I think 1.5-2g dried max for a first attempt.

3 Grams of dry APE would fuck her up hard and most likely scare her off them...

Start with 1 Gram of dry APE, if she likes the buzz she can decide if she wants to dose higher next time.
Magic mushrooms are a powerful substance, take too much with no experience and you can get hurt.

I wouldn't even take 3G APE LOL. There's so much better ways of approaching a first timer - and this is so far off the charts I can't believe it was even being considered. (Not being a dick).. but sheesh

Lol 3 grams of APE would torture her...

Even if someone as experienced as me took 3 grams of APE I would be stuck in bed for most of the trip...

The problem is that the person has no idea what they are talking about when they say transcendence. That is a vague concept to them not something they have any experience with.

Everyone's advice and flabbergastedness (not even a word, but I created it), has shown me the error of my ways.  Thank you for helping me avoid a potentially, more like a certainty, of fucking my mom's mental up.  I have decided to reduce it down to 1.6G of APE for her first time.  I would never want to do anything to hurt her or make her have a bad trip - so thank you, to all of you, for helping me see that I was being a moron...
