POLL: Have you had a mystical experience on 3.5 DRIED grams of Psilocybin?
    #26977164 - 10/09/20 02:59 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

For this poll, 'Mystical Experience' is defined as:
"a direct experience of transcendent reality or God, especially by means of contemplation and asceticism instead of rational thought"

And also as having these qualities:

Profound sense of unity or contact with the Reality,
Conscious awareness on the part of the individual about his/her spiritual quest or journey,
Feeling that the experience cannot be expressed through language,
Refinement of intuitive faculty and using intuition as a means to seeking an end,
Ecstasy and sense of wholeness.


I assume the result will be an overwhelming 'yes'.  Hoping to get at least 30 responses.

**EDIT** If you have had a mystical experience on psilocybin, but it was more or less than 3.5 grams, let me know the dose! 

Thank you!

Should be "ANY DOSE OF PSILOCYBIN" cause people all vary in their tolerance, mushrooms all vary in their potency.  Also say "3.5 grams dried mushrooms" 'cause 3.5 gms of Psilocybin is like 3-4 K of fresh fruit. :laugh2:

you are right.  I should have said dried.  And I was going to just do any dose but this is for a statistics class and probability needs to be the same for each trial.... Figured setting a specific dose would gather data that was more equal in probability.  I might make a new poll later.

Along with what Primal said, I think it's important to quantify what you mean by a mystical experience if you are looking for people who have had a specific experience.

A "mystical" experience can mean different things to very different people. Must it have contained some sort of god entity? Must there have been a sense of "ego death"? Etc.

Anyway, to answer your question, I have had one "mystical" experience, as I would quantify it, on 3.5g (but I believe the setting had an enormous influence on it). No subsequent 3.5g experience has been "mystical" to me (again, mystical meaning how I define it, not necessarily how another would.)

I had a much more intense experience on 1.5g of APE and it was incredible (and difficult). However, I would not classify as mystical (although I feel it was just as important if not more than if I did have a mystical experience).

I provided a definition of what I mean by 'mystical experience' in initial post.

But thanks for the reply.  I think setting often has a lot more to do with the experience than the dose.  I myself have not really taken mushrooms in quite some time because I reached a point where I could sort of bring on myself what the mushrooms always brought on.  I knew they were just going to make me face all my bullshit and lies to myself, and eventually I just decided hey, why not skip the terrifying madness and just be honest with yourself.  Really look at yourself.  Ever since I reached this point, I think I have had many 'mystical experiences' while sober... but the context of my life in those moments had everything to do with bringing these experiences on.  I think when I initially began using mushrooms, I never took into account the context of my life, I never paid any attention to what was going on.... what I had been getting involved with, what I had been doing that may not be in my best interest.. I was chasing some abstract idea of spirituality and enlightenment completely unaware at that time that those concepts apply to the every day here and now, the substance that a person already is.   

The last time I dabbled with taking mushrooms I was taking microdoses and even those would send me into a headspace one could consider mystical.  It's definitely different for everyone.  Like I said in previous post I only really set the 3.5 standard to keep my statistics teacher happy.

I can't say I have done 3.5 gms though I may have in the past.
I usually have had transcendent or mystical experiences but the nature of them has changed.

initially I would review the wheel of life and while exhilarating calmly in my peak, I would be unable to find words to describe the instantaneous knowing that the suffering of all beings was impermanent and that they were all so close to the same glorious realization but have not yet pulled back the veil.

this used to make me feel an essential compassionate sweet remorse and I would try to be a kind bodhisattva for a few hours until the dust settled.

now I still loose the ability to find exact words, and this may be endemic to having too many simultaneous thoughts that words fail to fit the net layered results of overlapping images and feelings. Most of my peaks these days are less messianic and more patient observations of natural phenomena, beautiful thatness etc.

Re: POLL: Have you had a mystical experience on 3.5 DRIED grams of Psilocybin? [Re: NOUS333]
    #26978759 - 10/10/20 04:08 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mystical experience is a tricky term, because it can mean so many different things to so many different people.
going by this definition:

"a direct experience of transcendent reality or God, especially by means of contemplation and asceticism instead of rational thought"

Not sure about transcendent reality, transcending what? Definitely no experience of a god, as far as I know (surely if there is a god, we are constantly experiencing it in a way). I would say I have had heightened experiences of this world, as compared to sober reality, and often accompanied by strong emotion, strange visuals and what often seems to be -and sometimes is- insight.

After a couple of dozen trips at various doses (only about half were mushrooms,the rest were LSD) I'm not sure I would agree that I have had a mystical experience, as none of what occurred defies consensus reality or totally evades language (though I admit these states are very tricky to language, but then, so is all human experience. Language is always a somewhat futile exercise in capturing the ineffable thing that is every day life.)

tldr: I'm not sure, I voted no, though I have had very emotionally impacting experiences, they mostly reinforced the reality of the physical world rather than undermined it

I've read a few different definitions of mystical experience, and when a 'transcendent reality' is mentioned, it usually means a reality that exists beyond the everyday reality most people are familiar with.  An all encompassing reality that is for the most part ignored and/or unknown by the majority.  The 'ONE' reality, universal reality, the ultimate reality etc.

I had an extremely religious experience that helped me understand my christian faith better, and some of the experience was OBE for short periods. I seen how Godds consciousness is connected to everything and what eternity feels like. No time, just now for ever. It was probably the most peaceful moment of my life at that point all those years ago.

That's a no from me. My understanding of "mystical" is pretty crazy, I don't think 3.5g is enough to get there because with 3.5g you're still definitely on earth.

5g, on the other hand, and you're somewhere in your own head even if you haven't ego deathed and still know you're on earth. I'd call that mystical

P.S. you meant shrooms – 3.5g psilocybin is 117x 30mg which is what a one study actually called "mystical"

going by that definition then I definitely have not. I've experienced some things that seemed like 'other realities' but nothing about them indicated they were real.

I have not however tried DMT or doses higher than 4.5 g of mushrooms, so its likely I've just never gone far out enough. I tend to be very physically grounded in trips

Work with Ayahuasca for a bit, you'll get there. Heck i think even Psilohuasca can get you there.

Your right. 

I had trouble with that myself... I was sort of trying to be as clear as I could be incase I end up having to screen shot the initial post for my class.  I didn't want my teacher to freak out if it said 'mushrooms'.  I figured most people here would know what I meant. 

And, I would agree about the 3.5 not being enough for most people. I chose 3.5 because I feel like that is the most common dose.  In my experience talking to people and just observing posts here, it doesn't seem that common for people to actually take more than 3.5g.  I could be wrong though..

It depends on the 3.5 g themselves more than the dosage.  It's pretty much my testing dose for new strains - if that make the leap to hyperspace at that level then they're cleared for further propagation.  If not they're compost.  So yeah it's a good level and yeah it yields mystical experiences (mostly however you define it) but my sense was you were trying to find out if 3.5 g was enough for most people not how many people experience mystical results from mushrooms.  And to me that's still unclear. :shrug:

My apologies, I had skimmed over it as I was quickly replying before returning to work.

But to reiterate, I guess not entirely. I have, on 3.5g cubes and 1.5g of APE experienced these (from your list):

  • Profound sense of unity or contact with the Reality,

  • Feeling that the experience cannot be expressed through language,

  • Ecstasy and sense of wholeness.


I have not experienced a sense of a "God", although that may be because I am an atheist (although that may not be an accurate description as I am spiritual, seeing the mushroom as a "God" but not believeing in the standard judeo-christian notion of "God")

My original intent was to get a good idea of how often psilocybin produces a mystical experience in people who use it. 

I only indicated 3.5g to try and make it seem legit for the statistics project.  Because probability is supposed to be the same in each trial, if some people reported a mystical experience on 5 grams while others reported one on 3.5 grams, the probability would not be equal in that case and my teacher might not want to give me credit. 


Perhaps I should have said 4 grams or more but like I said I don't feel like a lot of people are out there taking that much.  And I also think mystical experience has more to do with the individual than the dose... but I would also say most individuals need a higher dose.

You could just require people to measure the absolute dose of psilocybin that they ingested, but that would add some difficulty.  :laugh2:

Dosage should not even matter especially if you are conducting research for statistics. You either have a mystical experience or you don't. Dosage really does not matter when it comes to psychedelics. You really don't need much in order to take a look deep within your mind. All taking a higher dose does is just get you more "far out"  like what the hippies say. A lot of people react completely differently to the same dose. And if the genetics are strong then you don't even need a full eighth. I have some potent ecuadorians that give me a full on trip with only 1.5 grams.

But anyway, I have had mystical experiences with 3.5 G of dry and I also had a mystical experience doing two grams on lemon Tek.

I will discuss the two gram lemon Tek trip because that one was earlier this year and it is still a little fresh in my mind.

During the come up, I was laying on my bed. I felt as though I could feel the ENTIRE spirit of the planet gently supporting me as if on stilts and guiding and lifting me into the heavens. I was transcending this reality. By the time I was peaking, I was completely transcended and I became the whole universe and all. I also became God.

What I learned in this trip is that I have a lot of support from people in my life, my family, my roommate, my job, etc. I have a greater connection to the spirit of the planet and that all the answers to my life can be found by just simply following the guidance of the spirit which is within myself. I also came to recognize that the entire planet has a spirit. Not just the living things on the planet but the ENTIRETY of the planet itself. This essence is very powerful and can guide you in the right direction if you tap into it.

Dosage really does matter.  :havesomescience: 

Your 2 gram lemon tek is equivalent to a larger dose, so you're basically comparing apples to oranges and saying they're both apples and the smaller one is more satisfying.

Your 2 gram lemon tek is equivalent to a larger dose, so you're basically comparing apples to oranges and saying they're both apples and the smaller one is more satisfying.



Dose matters to an extent but what matters most is what is inside of yourself at the time. I've gotten more psychological work done with just 60ug of acid than I did from 200ug. it was probably my setting that played the biggest part with that difference.

I'm in the group who thinks dosage does matter. Yes, set and setting is important, but a full on mystical/ecstatic experience is more likely to come from a more appropriate dosage compared to a lower dosage. Does anyone here talk in tongues, have precognitive visions, go into complete orgasmic mind fuck, being raptured in religious ecstasy, connection with one's soul and merging with God/source while being completely at peace and serene and feeling "home", from lower dosages? When i'm referring to a mystical experience personally, i'm talking fully immersive experience, not some mild mental feeling or understanding that one would consider spiritual.

I believe dosage does matter too, moreso than set or setting.  With that said a large dose of mushrooms doesnt necessarily guarantee a mystical experience for me. 

I've had an eighth or less of good cubensis push me through to the other side a few times and 7+g just make me trip hard but without that breakthrough-style intense mystical element.  Oftentimes the mushrooms dont let me decide when they really rock my ass

I get it now. Yes, in order to see, find, or even become god yourself, a higher dose is needed.

That would be assuming you wanted - or needed - to do psychological work.  States for accomplishing this can also be reached with good weed, or meditation, and classical psychedelics like mushrooms IME reach well beyond those to incredibly novel realms of the mind.  Acid seems more variable that way, people appear to have a resistance to it but once that cherry is popped the effective dosage decreases, from what I've read anyway. :shrug:

Also the individual's innate tolerance coupled with the absolute potency of the mushrooms makes all the difference as to what an effective dose is.  This is just something people need to determine for themselves and their particular circumstances.

But basically yeah I agree. :cookiemonster:

:okthatsfunny:  Yeah, that happens for me approximately...never. 

That's why I like effective doses, not too high, not too low, but erring on the high side is preferable to the alternative.

I've never heard this described before. So this is why I can get off on lower dosages? Because my psychedelic cherry has been popped? I've heard that older people don't need as much psychedelics as younger people do.

Younger people are like, "I'm going to do 5 hits of acid!"
Older people are like, "Meh, I'll do 1 hit, maybe just half a hit."

That 60ug "trip" was intended to give me motivation to clean my room. I cleaned my room but unexpectedly did psychological work during that trip. It was one of the most emotionally freeing psychedelic experiences I've had. I made a trip report here. It was like a psychology session in my bedroom.

I don't know if that works with mushrooms, but for acid it's all over the psychedelic literature back in the day of legal research (which is fortunately happening again). 

But I think yeah experience matters for all psychedelics, for instance to me it's surprising how far I can go on weed by just calling up the appropriate headspace, whereas with larger doses of mushrooms there's no getting away from it. :laugh2:

I think of it like this. LSD shows you your emotions in a very gentle and loving beautiful way. Mushrooms show you your emotions as if you are in the backseat of a roller coaster being swung around and shown your emotions and shown what you need to do with your life to fix it. LSD is like a slow beautiful journey and mushrooms are a very quick slap in the face.

I don't find it that way but of course YMMV.  With effective doses of mushrooms done right (my experience is almost all tea) mushrooms are powerful teachers and emotional amplifiers.  What comes up during a trip, if not addressed outside the trip, will come up again repeatedly.  If addressed it's on to the next thing - until finally you run out of things and all that's left is the pure experience. 

It's like peeling layers off an onion, where the layers constitute your ego and the slow accumulation of ego-related encumbrances.  Once these are gone, however many or few trips it takes, then it's just smooth sailing until the next time.  The mushrooms also have a powerful spiritual component of their own which you'll meet up with if you're lucky.

But then I've never yet done acid to be able to compare it with. :aliceshocker:

It's not a bad thing. Sometimes you need a good cold hard slap in the face to know exactly what you need to do in your life. Mushrooms will always have a special place in my heart. I only use mushrooms for spiritual or self insightful purposes. Lsd I can use more recreationally or for more reasons than just one.

I've found that the effects highly vary between the genetics. I've had some b+ several years ago that blew my mind away and gave me the most beautiful ego death I've ever had but the b+ I had last year were more of a visual trip and not so much of a mind trip. I was able to handle 5 grams of those but the b+ from a while back I could only do an eighth. Right now I've got some potent ecuadorians that give me a full on trip with only 1.5 grams. Full tracers and shifting patterns and feeling a connectedness with nature and the universe, etc. I had a good trip on 1.5 grams of these ecuadorians where I felt a complete connectedness in the universe and nature and in my mind I could see all of the math and all of the Fibonacci numbers and the physics equations of the universe and everything came together and I could literally see outside of The matrix.

B+ that's not bunk - who'd thunk it?  I've grown a lot of strains of cubes and potency varies all over the place, although PE varieties usually knock it out of the park.

But then I use mushrooms for fun as well as spiritual purposes.  There's no right or wrong way.  :cookiemonster:

It was probably the most peaceful moment of my life at that point all those years ago.




but all those years ago might as well be right now still....right? :shocked:



Do you mean the impressions and revelations I got are still today? Yes!...If you meant something else then idk what you mean lol. *shrugs*




I meant, there is never really 'time' as we have constructed it and generally understand it... everything is always right now.  Now is all that will ever be. 

the impressions and revelations were just the result of you paying attention enough to notice this in that moment years ago... what you noticed is still right here, right now.... it hasn't really changed.  It can still bring you the same peace.
