Measuring dose without a scale?
    #5543484 - 04/22/06 09:51 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

How does one go about this? what about something like, knowing how much you have and crushing it ALL into powder, and then measuring cups, and dividing it evenly, to find out how much of a measuring cup a gram takes? And then you are set. Would that be accurate?

Is there any easier way? I dont really want to crush up an ounce of mushrooms just to take out 3 grams haha.

You could do a search for the Thimble Tek, though I'm not sure the response that got...most likely better than eye-balling it though.

If you knew you had an ounce, and you powdered it, and put it in a measuring cup, and divided by 8 or something, then that would be very accurate in my estimation. Probably your best bet, however I can understand you not wanting to grind up an ounce of mushrooms.

I can't think of an easier way. A good scale is an indispensable and extremely worthwhile investment.

Good luck :peace:

Its not so much the investment that bothers me, its more that I still live with my parents and it would be kind of rediculous to bring in a scale or buy one off ebay or whatever.

What is this postal scale business about? How accurate are they and where can you buy them?

Yeah I figured that was the case. You can get them from office supply stores (Unfortunately I'm not in Canada, so I'm not sure what stores you have)...or some headshops have them. Just make sure it's got something like .1 gram increments.

And they are really that cheap? I could do that, we have some office stores in town. If they are like 5 bucks Im sure I could find a place to hide it, I mean that is just rediculously cheap.

The problem with that though is that it doesnt say how many grams a thimble equals?

IT says one half to 2, that is ALOT of variance. I would rather do something like maybe find someone who owns a scale, and see what a certain amount in a measuring cup equals in terms of weight, and then I can do that always in the future.

In fact, couldn't someone with a scale find out how many oz of mushrooms or ml or whatever, it takes to equal a gram? But we would have to decide how finely ground up? Im thinking liek a coffee grinder would be pretty universal, and not like packes, just put in. Anyone wanna take the time to do this for the community?

Most of the community already knows :laugh:

One OO Capsule = 1ml = 500mg hard pressed shroom/herbal powder.

It is key to COMPRESS it into the thimble because otherwise its still haphazard.

HARD pressed = key.

When its cracker dry and you press hard you can get 500mg in there.
The thing is however that you shouldn't *pop* hard pressed shroom capsules, at least not without loosening up their contents.

A thimble (like a level teaspoon) holds USUALLY 3-5ml, which for the thimble would be 1.5-2.5gr hard-pressed. You can't hard-press a level teaspoon though, hence the thimble.

True true. It seems like this is kind of a hassle and getting a scale would be the way to go. I can buy one for my friend and use it whenver I want, since I think he oculd keep it at his house
