Do you tend to dose high or low?

When I first started doing mushrooms a little over a year ago I use to dose in the upper ranges (3 -3.5g) until I had my first horrific trip on roughly 5g. Since then my doses have been toned down quite a bit out of fear of a possible bad trip.
The problem that comes from dosing low seems to be a split between the real world and the trip. I tend to be anxious and self analytical during these low dose trips, so from now on I'm putting that to an end.
I'm definitely not going to do any doses lower then 3 grams from now on, and I'm going to start tripping a lot less frequently.
So I guess my real question is, have you toned down your doses after your first "bad" trip.

for the 15 months i have been dosing on the low side. the most i have eaten in that time period is 2.7g. i don't think i will have a high dose of mushrooms for a while. i got plenty of other psychedelics.

To me, 3.5 grams and above is almost an entirely different experience from "smaller doses". My last few trips have been under 3.5 grams, and they have definitely been good ones, but not nearly as profound and thought provoking as larger doses - but as I go under an 1/8, the fright factor for me seems to lessen and the trips never enter "the dark side" , so it's a trade off I guess .

And to answer that question - I first started lowering doses after a trip that was quite intense, not necessarily bad, but very very intense. But after I built up confidence on smaller amts again, I was able to work my way up into the higher territories of doses.

Had an incredibly intense experience (good one). Since then I've had no interest or need to go that deep into a trip so most of my trips have been about 2g's at most lately. Although lately the interest has been rising a bit...

I prefer to dose high. With Mushrooms I rarely consume less than 3.5-5 grams of cubes. Even when they are knock your socks off potent. I prefer profoundness is my trips (lvl 4-5) and find the heightened awareness level trips (1-2 or 3 )to be too close to a "party trip" whereas I prefer a more spiritual journey as opposed to a "party trip" I am the same way with Mescaline and LSD, preferring larger doses.
I am not saying a small dose trip cannot be done spiritually I am just saying for me, small dose trips are on the average none too spiritual.

I prefer mid-high dosage. I usually dose between 5-8.5 grams.

Middle to high, but it wasn't like this always. After my first five gram trip that scared me out of my mind, I was scared of psychedelics. I realized I had a hard time "letting go" of attachments that my ego has. So I decided to trip as much as I could in order to teach myself to "let go." Each trip is easier and gives me the desire to go higher. I love high doses now. Anything in the 4-5+ range. I don't trip to have a good time, you realize. I trip to have an intense journey, with high and low points included. My husband said it best: "If it's 'too strong,' it's probably just right."
Although I have realized that low doses can be just as powerful if your mind is willing. But I do prefer intensity while tripping.

It used to be high...if the average dose was X than I would push to about 150% of X for my dose. Now though, I don't need as much. 2.5 g's of shrooms puts me WAY out there.

my first 2 trips were bad trips, the mushroom seem to affect my stomach alot (I get a lot of discomfort and rumbly weird feelings in my tummy, but not nausea.) To reduce this I have low dosages, usually in a tea. I Might try only using stems now too coz I've heard the spores can be the cause of stomach discomfort?

i started out with mid-high doses of 5+ grams so when i went to low doses it felt like a tease. i would like to experiment more with low doses, however, and just take out the expectations of being blasted off into space.

I usually trip somewhere within the 3.5-6 gram range. My largest dose was 7 grams and that was a bitchin good time. I've only really had one bad experience and it wasn't even that bad. I don't really like the low doses because I get alot of anxiety on those. If I take a large dose I just get the anxiety when I'm coming up.
Tonight I am try a rather large dose. 4 grams followed by 5 or 6. I hope it goes well.

My first several trips were all less than 3.5 grams. The first time I ate an entire eigth, perhaps two months after my first trip, I had a very potent experience, one that might be labeled "bad" by an unsuspecting observer. It definitely made me aware of the mushroom's full potential and power, and I spent the next weeks trying to "understand" the experience. I don't understand the psychedelic experience in any rational way any more now than I did then, that understanding only comes from further experience over the course of time.
The last time I tripped was several weeks ago and I ate my largest dose yet, 7 grams. And I'm about 120 lbs. Was a LOT more than I think I might've needed, but I've tried my "heroic" dose for now. I spent the whole time fighting the drug, convinced that if I stopped moving about physically, I would DIE. Since I was tripping solo, which I do prefer, I kept thinking to myself things like, "OK, so if I sit down here, this is where they're going to find me...in two weeks, as soon as the smell starts to be too much." If I had been entirely prepared for the experience -- which obviously I wasn't -- I'm sure the 7 grams would have propelled me even further into the source, however in the future I'm going to stick to the 3 gram mark, just shy of an eigth. I've had equally powerful, but less intense, experiences and moments of satori at that level.
Anyone ever get a headache the day after a particuarly intense trip? I had a pretty prevalent one the day after I ate those 7 grams, and I've never felt like that before. Not sure if that was from the 7 grams itself, or my fight against the trip. Probably the latter...

never had a bad trip. havn't seen anyone have a bad trip either but i can see how the fun can go terribley wrong.
i tend to give people half the dose I think they should take and then i tell them if they don't have the desired effects to eat the rest of the dose until they feel where they want to be.
usually a small set of questions like how hard are you going and how hard to you want to go and how much have you eaten so far are asked in order to aid them in having a good time without going overboard.

I've eaten mushrooms more times then I can count, the smallest dose I ever took was 2 grams. The rest were 3.5 grams to 7 grams, usually in between that area. Half of the trips I had were bad trips for the first hour and a half cause of the body load, though the rest of the trip was fine. It was really wierd too, I got really anxious and felt like I was gonna puke, then out of nowhere it went away. The dose played no part in this either, as I had it happen with 2 grams and taken 7 grams and no ill effects. Once I started taking xanax though, the body load stopped bothering me at all. On a side note, has anyone ever seen people pass out and fall on the ground while standing up after eating mushrooms? My one friend used to do it all the timee, we used to just be standing around talking, then *thump*, he would pass out and get back up right after he fell. It was always good for a laugh, luckily he never fell on concrete though, always grass.

We usually dose 4-5 grams everytime. We have probably dosed over 75 times with no interest in quitting. I know its alot to handle but we like to get crazy which is something acid cant do. Recently I came across some paper which I stocked up on and have been eating every now and then. We took 2 hits and that shit was weak, I could have probably taken 5 of them and been alright. Dont get me wrong I was fucked up but not how I like to get.
