What are your methods?

I tend to take "larger" doses as frequently as possible. By frequently it probably evens out to once every other month. I'm intending to increase my explorations, but I was curious how fellow psyconaughts dose and what is your methods? How often, set and setting, and how much?
Thanks! Peace and gratitude.

I dose about once/year, at max twice/year. For me, I take months to integrate my experiences; in fact sometimes I find myself still learning a year later. I'm also of the belief the more time you spend away from the mushroom and dedicate to sobriety, the more you gain out of the mushroom. I also fear losing the magic; it's too powerful and sacred for me.

The magic is always available, dose dependent. I can definitely see sobriety increasing reverence for the experience that the mushrooms provide. I lean toward excess so that the lessons become undeniable. After all, "the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom." - William Blake. Practice facilitates behavioural integration, so the more frequently we take mushrooms, then the more practiced we become with the lesson, perceptions, and ideas of the psycadelic experience. Which will allow us to more effectively bring the lessons into the mundane world and help improve ordinary reality.

I dose at least every 6 weeks or more to deal with headaches. Set and setting is usually at home or maybe camping occasionally. Safety first when it comes to set/setting. Dose is usually dependant on what mushrooms I’m taking, if they are a known potency, etc. My last dose I carelessly threw 3 psychedelic ice cubes into a drink and downed it. Was extremely strong, I couldn’t even move for the first 2 hours.

Good points for certain. However, I feel as if if I did mushrooms too often, it may lead me to a state of oddness, or more so dogmatism but about really weird stuff; I've met a fair amount of people like that.
Besides, I can't help but feel that if I did sober up, eventually mushroom wisdom would leave (not fully leave per se) as the ego reintegrates regardless.

@Pastywhyte Bummer about the headaches, but I'm glad you have access to the right medicine lol
@rickomalley238 Yeah, that is true. I'm weird by nature, so I might not notice, but I believe their is documentation of psychedelics activating schizophrenic gene expression in some people. Hence people that go off the deep end sometimes have peculiar dogma and odd reality tunnels. Terrence McKenna once said "there are old shamans and there are bold shamans, but there are no old bold shamans."

I am also on a 6 week cycle. Part of this is because I don't want to lose touch with the magic by building up any tolerance. Part of this is because I try to tie consumption to the equinoxes, solstices and full moons - this probably doesn't make any difference but you know how we do.
This year I have been dosing around 3g.
One year I went 1g, 1.5g, 2g, 2.5g, 3g, 4g -- I may try that next year with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

@jay.ach I like that you tie it to celestial activity. Pretty neat idea. Also, a gradual ramp up of doseing is a good idea. Thanks for sharing.

I'm new to the psilocybin world. I began growing only a couple of months ago thanks to The Shroomery and I dose around once a week. I usually do it outdoors in the woods or in any kind of natural setting. I've done it indoors only a few times and ,although I've enjoyed, I definitely prefer outdoors. I've experienced great states of happiness while walking or doing some kind of moderate exercise. I've noticed I enjoy it way more when I'm with someone else. I've taken shrooms alone once or twice but I find it more satisfaying while laughing in the company of my wife or friends, or talking about anything freely. Also, I prefer doing it during the day. It seems that light enhances the experience for me.
I like to take 2-2.5g, this makes me trip moderately and I feel in peace. The max I've done is 4g, only once, this was pretty cool but I don't know if I "wasted" it because it was kind of late and I was sleepy so I I kind of fell asleep and then woke up but I was still tripping. I was on and off like that for a few hours.
It's nice to read your experiences, thanks for sharing

@enzofilo thanks for sharing. When you fell asleep did you have a sense that your thread of reality would be severed, or that you would die?
I generally dose inside at night in a darkroom. It would probably be good to incorporate more outdoor daylight trips haha

I didn't feel like dying. I felt like I was being presented with so much information and knowledge I was overwhelmed and at that moment I woke up to find myself in a car at night parked by a tree at an empty field. Then, I'd stay awake for a while , fall sleep and keep tripping and so on.

Definitely recommended!

I can’t imagine 2-3 times a week, tolerance must be through the roof. When I was a teen I used to do LSD at least once a week and that had my tolerance high as it was.

Is shroom tolerance similar to weed and alcohol tolerance in how you tend to need less the older you get?

I like to do it every 6 weeks, but the last 2 times, I've taken 4 grams of very good APE and haven't felt much. I was disappointed as these APE always take me to very amazing places. Do you think that no matter what the dosage, if you are in the wrong headspace, you can think yourself into not tripping?

As needed. I don't like mixing them with food (chocolate, gummies, etc) or using capsules. I enjoy looking through the bag for a shroom that looks good and weighing em out, grinding with a cheap herb grinder, and mixing with this mushroom drink containing cordyceps, lion's mane, chaga, reishi. Throw some sugar & coconut oil sweetener.
Dose depends on what I need. Usually I'll take a 0.2 to 0.8g microdose and try to put a day or two in between doses. Usually I'll do this for a few weeks at a time for more focus, energy etc or just to generally pull me out of a depressive slump.
I don't really take large doses, but I'll bump it up to 1 or 1.5g for medicinal purposes, such as an intense meditation session. I've meditated for over 5 hours without moving under 1.5g before and I'm excited to have an experience like that again...but I really needed it at the time, so I don't want to "waste" it in the sense that I still want that experience to be impactful.
I don't want to become "more practiced" unless its in microdosing. I definitely haven't been safe at times, for example when hiking alone or skating alone....I don't even think about things like lights and cars...but the feeling is unmatched.

Curious to hear more about possibly inducing schizophrenia in gene traits? I have a sister that is schizophrenic and I’m pretty sure too much LSD/Ecstasy combo unlocked her genetic affinity for that. I really want to microdose for spiritual, migraines and tobacco addiction but now I’m a little nervous. I don’t have any mental disorders or take meds, but there may be a genetic marker in me. Any advice or know research on the subject?
