change in effects after prolonged use

I've been taking mushrooms for a few months in pretty comedically large doses. I'll eat anywhere from 1 - 3.5 g's per day and feel more normal while borderline tripping than I have in years. Is that strange?
When I first started I would take 1 - 2 grams and eat them slowly throughout the day in maybe .5 or .75 increments. After 4-5 days I would built up some odd cognitive qualities like feeling a mental pressure, some ear worms when listening to music or periods of anxiety. However I would simultaneously feel incredible for most of the day.
It's been a few months of me taking them very consistently with few days off and most of those issues have disappeared. I'm wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences or is interested in sharing their perspective or theory on what these are actually to doing to us with prolonged use.
it feels like there is a very strong symbiotic relationship between us and psilocybin and i'm looking for some information or direction on some other peoples experience. Thank you!

It's kind of obvious that taking psychedelic drugs, even in the way you do where you don't trip, pretty much every day is not a good long term plan. It will just end up wasting your shrooms and throwing your neurochemistry off balance.

why would you assume thats obvious. Based on what? Noone knows what the effects are of long term use...

Based on the effect of serotogenic psychedelics.
Taking psychoactive drugs every day is not a good thing. Taking enough mushroom back to back to be constantly pushing your tolerance level means that you are depleting/blocking your 5HTA-2 receptors in your brain and never getting a chance to reflect from the effect of the mushrooms, basically nullifying a major component of the positive effect they have.
Also you are wasting >90% of your mushrooms, which cannot effect your brain due to permanent tolerance, and you just pee them into the toilet. It's likely you would get a similar effect from 250mg daily because of this tolerance effect, but still people don't do that because of diminishing returns and increased risk.
It's probably a little naive to think that no one knows what happens if you eat them every day, that you're the first one to do this.
Try taking smaller doses less frequently, 100-250mg every 2-3 days, or larger doses even less frequently again, 2-4g (in one go) every 1-2 weeks, to get more tangible results.

Hey there,
I feel like I was in the same boat. I also went a little overboard for a while.
I'd recommend getting your blood pressure checked just out of curiosity (and update me here lol)
Other than that I would recommend taking a break. What the other poster said is true about tolerance and also wasting massive amounts of decent shrooms for no purpose. These days I can honestly enjoy a single mushroom cap or stem and go about my day. It saddens me to think how much I literally wasted. 8g a day? 10g a day? Say 70 grams a week. If I had done 1g a day instead that would have lasted 70 days.
It was helpful for me in a way to go overboard because it helped me realize I had a serious problem with over consumption. Not just of shrooms, but everything. Weed, alcohol, porn, social media, video games.
I dont want to rob u of your own cathartic experience but there will come a time when you should consider taking a break so you can decompress all the many things you have been thinking about for the past couple months.
Was it the Roman's that would make plans drunk and then have a meeting sober and go over said plans? Idk. But consider allowing the shrooms to leave your body for a while.
Imagine swimming out into the ocean for miles and miles never reaching land. Just kind of exhausting don't u think?

yeah I have since taken a break. Thank you for that. I also have an addictive personality. Still not convinced that it isn't beneficial to have periods of prolonged use. I feel better sober now than I have in years even when i'm not on them and I attribute it to the periods of use.
