Dosing Inquiry

Currently, I have enough golden teachers to have a few experiences to let me know if growing is something I wanna start part time, only for myself, and my SO. That said. I tested the potency last night with .25 grams. I didn’t wanna start with 1-2 grams because I’ve always overdone it with mushrooms, my first experience I ate maybe an eighth. My second one I traded a psp for a little over a half (dumb mislead teen) anyways I sat in the car and ate close to a half ounce for no reason, other then to be a little prick trying push his luck. Now self depreciation aside, I’ve don’t wanna say I’ve never had a bad trip, cause looking back 10 years go I barely remember it and 2nd even if it was a bad trip or as I call it a challenging trip I still learned for it. Now fast forward to late 20s and I really trip to see if it will combat my depression and other addictions. I haven’t set a goal yet with how I exactly wanna do that, but I would like to bring in the New Years with a peak of an experience. That said I wanna light one, I don’t wanna be outta body. I’ve been there I’ve been to points where time stopped existing. That’s not what I’m after I’m after a warm introduction back into mushrooms and to treat them with the respect they deserve. That said , .25 grams didn’t do much other then having me feel like I was at the door of the experience but I have yet to knock , there was parts I noticed my visual enhance but I know am comfortable with the idea of tripping again My two questions would be, would this .25 boost my tolerance ? it was mostly stem and a little slice of cap of a small mushroom I did plan to eat the whole mushroom but erowid says .25 is a threshold and that’s all I wanted so I decided to follow erowid. My question now would be, if I did decide I want a slight experience would .5 of a gram be where I should go or a gram? I have trip killers I’m in a safe environment, it can get annoying as any house does but I feel safe and loved and that the people around wouldn’t let anything bad happen to me. So that’s no issue. I just wanna have a good time with my SO but SO is a a complete beginner and scared and I have ptsd from treating them like a Budweiser lmao. Basically to save you time. Is erowid valid with its dosaging and effects guide? Happy holidays cosmonauts I wish y’all many and many miles of mycelium

Had a look at erowid and see the below:

Looks about right?
I don't think the .25mg you did would have resulted in a big difference to what your tolerance would have otherwise been. When do you plan the have the next trip?

Your quarter gram will give you some tolerance - any amount does - but not very much. Add .25 to whatever you decide to do and it should be good.

Well I was thinking .5. But now I’m doubting that to 1 gram. I’m thinking of trying it tomorrow when I can stay up with my experience. I think that would be a good way to get something but not be at a point where it consumes me. Eventually I’m heading for ego death but that’s a long long long way aways thank you for your response

How long does tolerance usually last. Let’s say at beginning of week I had my quarter of a gram. If I wanted to go up to a gram Friday would it still be blunted by tolerance. I can wait till whenever but I’m really looking forward to experiencing it. I’ve done all this in the past I should know but that’s been 10 years + so a lot of things I forgot. But since erowid is a fairly good dosing guide I think that will be good to deal with I’m also taking 5htp right now in prep and recovery from .25 totally unnecessary but it helps me stay in a positive mood

Tolerance can take between 4 and 14 days depending on the person. You should be fine by Friday, especially since you're not taking all that much. Maybe you're one of the lucky ones who's sensitive to psychs, it takes me 5g+ to get where I want to be.

Doubt it as a dumb 17 year old I took approx 10-14 grams. Lol traded a broken PSP to someone who swore they could fix it for a “half” I proceeded to empty the bag and spent most of the time shitting and looking in the mirror where I didn’t see my face at all I saw Kurt Cobain. The .25 did nothing as expected but being as these are homegrown and were healthy for the most part I aired on the side of caution. Do you think a gram would do something if I did the .25 on Monday? I’d like to get an experience and have a little fun before I plan a serious ego death trip

14 days is basically a full reset on tolerance for me. 10 days is acceptable if you cant wait. Less than 10 days for me and it's not a worthwhile experience. Also tiny doses like .5-1 gram are awful for many as you didn't take enough to get past the come up anxiety and body noise. I am not saying you need to take a large dose, but really small doses can leave you stuck in a perpetual pre-take off mode. For me it's very physically uncomfortable and mentally taxing to get only an anxiety riddled effect with no actual peak/trip. Something like 2.3g - 2.5 grams would almost certainly be a better time. I have also been shell shocked by doses that were too large, but tiny doses are always terrible experiences for me. 2.5 to 3 grams is kinda my sweet spot for lite trips and 3.5 is usually as far as I like to go, of coarse i've done 7+ grams and had ego death multiple times, but that was largely unintended

This thread was moved from The Psychedelic Experience.
Reason: Micro doses have their own forum now so i'll move this there.

That’s what I was thinking. I have a gram grown myself, I’m just unsure of the potency. The last few times I’ve done it it was way too much or not enough I’m not sure, but I’ve since learned a lot of techniques and things that can calm me and I’m not perpetually thinking ima be “stuck” in a trip. These are golden teachers and reported to be 1-2.5 grams for a light-common dose. But I don’t wanna be stuck in anxiety mode, I’ve looked everywhere and Terrence McKenna said it best, take enough to break through or don’t and stick to microdosing. But I don’t wanna microdose and this is not what this about so I petition to have it moved wherever accordingly, my intentions are to not be where I was on the last few trips, which set and setting could of had a lot to do with. I’m now as happy as I can be out of those situations but I still digress and psyche myself out. I just don’t wanna not know the potency and take 2.2 and these be on the higher end of potency.

My issue with a lower dose is that I know there’s more to it so I get kinda sad that I didn’t take more lol. But lower doses have always had me more anxious and jittery. Not recommended but I’ve done it before was eat more after the low dose already kicked in. It took a little bit but got me past the “threshold”

OP should give the writeup on potency a read that’s stickied at that top of this forum. It may help him make more informed dosing choices going forward.
