7 grams

My last mushroom trip was 7grams dry. The last time I tripped was 3 weeks before. The trip was very mild, I could only get visuals if i stared at something for a long time. I ended up bored for 4 hours trying to sleep. Could I be resistant to psilocybe?

That weight must have been in wet shrooms or just really low quality dry ones but Ive never heard of so much dried shrooms produce such little effect.

Could be from type of storage or drying technique maybe. I wait 4 weeks so that I get what I'm expecting from them there shrooms.
Have a good one

Probably just weak shrooms and bad set/setting. That tandom will kill your trip.

They had to have been very weak, because half of that and you should be tripping pretty good. Wait a month and give it another try, I hope it works out better next time.

Last night I had the same problem (kinda). I could only get visuals if I stared at the ceiling for more than a couple of minutes and then it was very light...then again, that was my first trip and it was 2.25 grams. Not much help then, eh?
Happy tripping.

Seems odd.
The only time I've never gotten much effect was when I was on anti-depressants. But then I found out that apparently SSRI's counteract with most psychedelics. It's all in how they make you trip, by playing with the serratonin.. and SSRI's control that...
Is there anything else that could counteract the effects like that? Perhaps that's the issue.

I think ill up the dose to 12+ grams next time. I know this seems like way too much to most people, but the only thing thats made me have bad trips in the past was because the effects were too little. I couldnt see myself having a bad time because its too intense, and even if I did I think it would be better than being dissappointed again because it wasnt enough. Expect a report in 2-3 weeks

My only truly bad trip was just after I'd stopped taking SSRIs. I was getting frustrated with doing large doses (5-7 grams) and not going very far with them. I decided that 14 grams was a good way to finally break through to the level I wanted to get to. To make a long story short, I got to that level, stayed there very briefly and was soon on my way to someplace much more intense and downright terrifying. Months later, I still think about it every single day.
Nobody has a tolerance so high that they need to resort to double-digit doses of dried material. If you're really unsatisfied with how far you're getting on your trips, there are lots of other options to try (staying off of antidepressants or other prescription meds for a day or two prior, etc.) before resorting to that. You might get what you want out of the experience, but there's an even better chance that you'll get a lot that you didn't bargain for.

Im not on any type of medication. 7 grams dry was not even close to where I wanted to be. I feel that I would much rather get more than I want than get less than I want again.

ive found that if they arent complete dried, the H2O in the shrooms will cause massive degredation via oxidation to the psilo over a period of a week.

Do a tea made with 7 grams dry before upping the dose.

What difference would a tea make? If anything I think that would be a smaller dose. If I do too much, and the effects are so strong that I have a bad time I will consider it a sucess. My last 4 trips have disappointed me because they were so weak.

I find body weight strangely doesn't effect the dose, much.

yeah 12 gram dose seems quite foolish.....unless the shrooms are extremely week and even then 12g seems a bit crazy
i usually do 5-7 gm at once and get a level 5 trip....

I dont understand why people look down on huge mushroom doses. There are lots of stories about people doing 10, 20, or 100 times a normal LSD dose and people dont think anything is wrong with this. Mushrooms are not harmful, I dont see why I shouldnt experiment with large doses. If I have a bad time it will be my fault, and to me getting too much seems alot better than being dissappointed with too little. Remember, 7g dry didnt put me close to where I would like to go- I was hadly even getting visuals.

have u tripped on shrooms often? for 7 gm not to put u where u wanna be then i believe they were exremely weak.....or perhaps you were to focused looking for visuals that u weren't aware of whats was calling u;)!
your correct there your trips and if u wanna eat 20 gms be my guest....but i have learned a long time ago to respect the mushroom......u don't want to be brought to the brink of madness....to some it can be a extemely scarey place....
