Low Mushroom Doses

I was very unfortunately disconnected from psychadelics a while ago(took way too much acid, very scary/dissacociative trip), and i came to realize my main problem with psychadelics. i hate high doses. i hate being out of my mind, not being able to function properly. but i love weed. i smoke, and after i smoke, i can DO stuff. i have a great time, and getting high is in general awesome %100 of the time. Now, its the same thing with psycadelics(i like lsd and mushrooms, nothing else). I have had some great trips on single sugar cubes, and trip very hard on anything over 2 sugar cubes, or 3 grams of mushrooms. I always buy an ounce of weed whever im running out. I let my dealer(very good friend of mine) know when im past an 1/8, and he lets me know when hes got a good strain(anything from AK-47, blueberry, northern lights, G13, the good stuff.) and i pick it up, and smoke on weekends(hence the good times ). Now, would buying an ounce of mushrooms and taking a gram once a week, weekly, be a good pattern?

only one way to find out.
i'm kind of in a similar boat, more looking for low doses with neat visuals but not a mindfuck type thing right now.

From what I have noticed it seems that the more experienced someone becomes with psychedelics, the lower the dose they prefer.
For me, the ideal dose in around 2 grams cubensis, but when I first started tripping 3.5 - 5 grams was my prefered dosage. I think this can be attributed to the fact that I don't need 5 grams to go 5 grams deep anymore. I am able to reach that same level of trippyness with only 2 grams.
It's like a locked door. When you first get into psychedelics you have the key, but the lock is tricky, and it takes some effort (higher dose) to get the door open. Once you become experienced with tripping (opening the lock), it's much easier to open the door, therefore you don't need as much help (in the form of a higher dose) to get to the otherside. Hope that analogy makes sense.

Great way to put it, LoFi (your lock and key theory). I've been shooting for lower and lower doses as I go along, and I'd thought it was a bit odd. I assumed tolerance would kick in, but I seem to have a reverse tolerance going on. Now I can take less than a gram and have the same level of insights and visuals, but not the anxiety of higher doses.
I'm glad to see other people are on the same page, and that I"m not an odd-ball!

I've been thinking about trying this for the first time and even after all the research I've done on this, I'd rather take lower doses. From what I've been told by experienced friends of mine that if you don't eat enough you get more of the nausea. I haven't read that anywhere yet but does anyone know if it's true?

I haven't experienced nausea on any dose, so I really can't say. I don't see any logical reason why a lower dose would be more likely to cause it. I would always suggest starting out on a lower dose the first time, just as a matter of course.

I?m a low doser. Usually I dose between 0.25 and 1gr of dried shrooms. In the past I have used fairly large doses but it is really true that if you learn how to tune in to mushrooms, you?ll need less and less.
It never stops being anything less than psilocybin, thats the bottom line.
With low doses you have to draw it out while on high doses you sometimes have to hold it back.
Do you want to learn to listen intently to music or do you want to keep turning up the volume until you are deaf.. interesting question isnt it!

ive done hundreds of trips and shrooms, and i can say i like smaller doses now.......like 1 to 2 grams dry....i still get very high, i think the more u tripped out over the years ,the more u know the OTHer side so the less u need as your brain knnows where to go from memoery and smaller doses still trigger it....

I don't think a low dose will matter when it comes to nausea. The last 2 times I got nauseaous with 1g and 1.5g respectively in lemon juice on a fairly empty stomach, but I've eaten a big slice of banana bread with weed cooked in along with a PB&J sandwich with 3.3g of shrooms in it and didn't feel sick at all. The only other time I got sick was when I ate a bunch of pizza right before.
