From first hand experience I totally disagree on weight not having an impact on dosage.
It's better to play it safe and give less to the GF for the first time. She'll always have the option to take more next time...
Remember, when you're on the ride you can't get off until terminus. Play it safe Blue.

B&O. I wish you well on your journeys tomorrow! I've read this entire thread and you've been through some ups and downs for sure.
I'm just starting my Nat process and I'm excited!
The plates I swabbed from spore were pretty clean so another couple transfers and I will take it to wheat seed.

Absolutely right. I was nowhere suggesting to increase/decrease anyone dosage. I was purely informing you about the sex/weight not having an impact. The only people capable of choosing the right dosage are you and her.
Have a wonderful time

MS to millet eight days ago.

We have lift-off!
*edit* And by lift-off I think this is mold!
Back to the drawing board with my millet prep and sterile technique.

The fluff is edible? And by edible I mean, it does contain actives?

Just checking back in with a quick synopsis of todays maiden nat trip. I took an estimated dry equivalent of 2.5g as tea from fresh made with citric acid. The GF took about 2.5g equivalent in the end. She took 1.5g at first, and when I was seeing creatures manifesting in the trees about 30 minutes in, she was not feeling it so she took an extra 1g equivalent.
As for the nat experience overall. I’ll say that the body discomfort I feel with cubes was greatly diminished, it was still there. We both had nausea (hers was worse, but she also had a bigger breakfast) and I had my typical discomfort in my chest during the come up.
About an hour in, she broke open in deep loud sobbing. I gave her a little space, but as she was also feeling nauseated and sitting on the cold tile floor of the bathroom while sobbing, I helped her to the bed and laid with her.
She has a history of family abuse from her parents, and though she’s done a lot of work on this, her dad passed in early summer, and her mom about a month ago. She had a complicated relationship with them and a lot of unresolved issues.
The nats unlocked some deep sadness and rage. Stuff she didn’t even realize was in her still. She leaned into it and went with it, both sobbing and yelling. This was not the kinder gentler mushroom trip I was expecting with nats, and this sort of swamped my experience in the moment.
After it was over, she said that even though she let our all that rage and had a good cry, that the process was as gentle as she could imagine, and she was grateful for the experience. Her mood was light and playful after the peak had passed. She described the experience as incredibly positive, and she’ll be looking to more tripping together as we move forward.
All said, I’m not yet sure what I think about the nats. I didn’t get the euphoria I’ve read about, though she did. I didn’t get the mdma-like experience of being flooded with love and connectedness. I didn’t get the feeling of oneness with everything I got from cube trips.
Despite all this it was an incredibly healing day, the experience definitely brought us closer together, and I think my next trip will be dried nats and a higher dose.
The bulk of the experience had passed for me in only 2 hours. I think I need to eat them dried and take a higher dose to get more of the experiences I’m looking for and some longer duration.
A last bit of context, this is a relatively new relationship, the chemistry and compatibility have been off the chart, we’re middle aged and both doing a lot of healing and growth work. Sharing this experience only made me more optimistic about our long term viability as a couple.

Thanks for the report.
Sounds like therapy might be a great option for her before she takes another deep dive.
Good on you for being there to help her through it. I think your experience was probably dampened (like you said) as you were focused on taking care of your partner.
Hope things trend positive for you and yours.

Riding the Nat train tonight, but with a twist. I'm taking 3g dry Natalensis with 1g dry of Melmac both in an acidic tea. I want to see how the macs affect the nats and vice versa. I'll report after.

Thanks for sharing, BlueAndOrange! Even though you expected things to go a bit differently, I am sure it was good for your girlfriend to release some of these feelings. Hopefully next time will be more euphoric for you! Fun thing with mushrooms is that they rarely give you what you expect, but rather what you need, at least in my experience.
Bigworm, this sounds like a good experiment and I am looking forward to read how it went. Enjoy 😁!

Some nats from a spent tub I put outside. The night time temps have been getting down into the forties here.

So far all good! No sign of the cubes other than improving OEV. My wife actually decided to join me but just with nats. We are having a great time listening to music and relaxing in our pillow lounge. Yes, we have a huge pile of pillows in our living room that anyone can just flop into and not touch the floor. These Nats make us feel like little kids hanging out with our best friends without a care in the world. I'm loving the mix and think this will be my new normal.
