How to dose without a scale? * 1
    #7060098 - 06/18/07 02:32 AM (16 years, 7 months ago)

Is it possible to dose mushrooms without a scale? I'm growing India Orissa and Golden Teacher, and they've just taken off. Pins everywhere. Anyway, I don't have a scale but if possible want to do a low dose at a friends get-together/party this weekend. (Take note most of the people at there are anti-drug, so i want a low dose to be more social, not to stand out).

Then in the holidays would like to do a more heavy/learing trip. Like 1/8.

So is it possible to dose without scales. I could probably get my hands on scales by the holidays. But for this weekend. Will it at all be possible?

if you absolutely must dose without a scale buy some measuring spoons from a supermarket. grind up your dry shrooms and 1 level teaspoon should = approximately 1 gram (dont use just any teaspoons that you may have in your kitchen as they generally arent the exact measurement, you will need actual measuring spoons).

before i finally bought some scales me and my mates would use this technique all the time and it seemed to be pretty accurate. i got the idea from one of the faqs on this site so have a look for it yourself instead of just taking my word for it.

btw you can get decent pocket scales off the net for under $50 so just have a look around for one of those when you can.

I just nibble the mushrooms a little bit at a time until I feel it.

Well I found out that a sheet of notebook paper weighs exactly 1.5 grams. You can fold a sheet of paper into a triangle, then fold up the hypotenuse of the triangle, and attach strings with little pouches attached to each end of your folded up hypotenuse... then poke a hole in the center and put a string through that hole that you can hold the thing with.... and mark the center. Then put a folded sheet of notebook paper in oneside, and fill up the other untill the scale balances out. You can fold the notebook paper into 3 and tear it apart to create 3 peices that weigh 0.5 grams each... so you can do .5, 1, or 1.5... and up...

Pretty easy way to dose if you don't have a scale... if you make it good, it can be very accurate.

I will never forget my first grow... The yield looked impressive and the "wet" weight was pretty good. After taking what I saw on these forums as the "recomended" dose; I was very unimpressed. That specific experience was my "first" and for the next few months I experiemented with more and more. About half a year later I was drying my shrooms and no longer experimenting with "fresh" shrooms.

But still, I was very unsatisfied with the "trips" I was experiencing. It was all "kiddy" stuff. I gathered up a formidable stockpile and went on holiday with a bunch of mates. On our first few nights we toyed around with them and had a little bit of fun, but nothing like what I thought(from reading various posts here) that they were capable of. Then one morning we all woke up and went out for breakfast and beers... After a few good hours of drinking I "decided" that I wanted to see what these little shrooms were capable of... One other friend and I ate all of the remaining stash.

The trip that followed was amazing...

Amazing in more than one, or many ways.

It was scary... I was scared

It was revealing... I was enlightened

It was beautiful... I was amazed

It shared secrets... I still "think" about them over a year later

After describing it to certain respected people here I was told I had endured a "hard" lv 4.

I know you are here for basic "dosage" info, and sorry if I have gone off on a tangent... BUT this is what I know via what happened to me.

I basically tried to "wade" into this whole thing and couldnt do it...

There are so many factors that go into dosage... that I doubt anyone can give you solid "universal" advice for "your" specific situation.

Some questions to ask yourself that you may or may not know the answers to:

Why are you seeking a "trip"?
How potent are your shrooms?
What type of trip are you aiming for?

i dont want to wade in. i want to low dose at a friends party. its not a go out and get smashed party. its a hang around and chat party. i am going to take one teaspoon of dried ground shrooms an hour before i go.

a week or two later im planning on doing around 3 or 3.5 grams at the beach, depending on how the teaspoon effects me. i'll have some 0.01g scales by then :P

ive done fairly high doses of acid before (200-300ug). so i should be ok with 3.5 grams of mush?

actually. how about this. a dollar AUD coin is 9.8 grams or something. if i weigh a coat hanger out straigh with fresh shrooms on one side and the dollar coin on the other, thatll get me approx 10 grams fresh for the party.

hows it sound?

If you're on the go the post office self-label machines are great... most accurate, most precise, widest range of mass tolerance, free, unless you have a lot it's a pretty private ordeal,and it tells you how much it would cost to ship it!
