Cubensis - Double O capsules

I was wondering how many dried grams would fit into these double O size caps. Recently I purchased P. Cubensis that had been cold air dehydrated and put into capsules. It was my first time so I took three and was expecting to trip balls. Despite a nice little stoned feeling, I didn't trip. I assumed that 3 capsules would equal 3 dried grams but obviously it doesn't. How many caps do you think I should take to trip?

Well... unless you are going to be putting the cubes in the caps yourself, it's really hard to tell. Sounds like you got ripped off. Same deal with chocolates. You never know how much is really in there. You can loosely fit less mushrooms in capsules than if you really packed them in. What I'm getting at is this: If you didn't pack them yourself, or watch him weigh out the dry weight and then pack them, you have no idea how much you are taking.
If you really wanted to know how much musrhooms you bought, you always could just empty the capsules onto a scale and then re fill them.

One double-ought capsule will hold one half gram of powdered crushed cubensis. Sinc ethe high takes 3 to five grams, that means you would need to eat form 6 to ten capsules to get a level 3-5 trip.
If that is what you need to do to eat them then maybe just make a tea but drink it slow. In tea or capsule form the come on is very fast. The Mazatec and other Indians in mesoamerica take 20-30 minutes to eat their dose so the come on is slow. They have been doing it that way for thousands of years so there must be a reasonwhy they do it that way.
In Wstern Civilization, humankind tries to down plant material as fast as he can. The come on is a shock to the CNS but many people like tha fast-shock start to their trip.
Spsules are usually used by individuals who cannot stand the taste of the mushrooms which is an aquired taste. But people making capsules to distribute should not because the person who wants the shrooms wants to see real shrooms. I once bought a bunch of capsules form someone i met at the Eugene Country Fair and they turned out to be shitake crushed up and put into capsules.

I powderize my mushies and either put them in chocolates, or I put them in capsules. My girlfriend will puke at the taste of them and I don't like the taste much, either. I can get an eighth in about 6-7 capsules after powdering them. I made some headie chocolates, last night, as a matter of fact. I put around 3 grams dry in each chocolate. I bought a chocolate factory from Wally world for 10 bucks. I am getting some hallucinogens saved up for the Panic run in Atlanta, next weekend!!

Yeah, Like everyone else has said, OO capsules will hold about .5 - .7 grams so you need to take at least 4 - 6 of them to get a decent dose.
If you want a slower come on, why not take the capsules over a period of 10-20 minutes.

Cheers all, I guess next time I'll take about 7 and hopefully trip hard balls.

I just filled up some 00s and I was only able to get .32-.4 grams per capsule and I was packing that shit in there very tight. What am I doing wrong? and yes, I'm sure they were 00s

ya, you really need to jampak the powder in there. There's a fine line between packing a fully compressed cap and actually breaking the bottom of the capsule (that sucks). Usually, after you pack the bottom half of the capsule really really tight, I fill up the top half too....I pack it slighty to leave some room for them to connect but you can probably get in another 100 mg in that way. Make sure your powder is really really dry and make sure its pulverized all the way to a fine powder.

right on, I had the really dry and powdered part down, I just didn't think about fill the tops as well, i'll try some like that next time and see if it's worth it. It doesn't matter much between .4 and .5 per capsule unless you're taking a huge dose. Thanks for the tip.
