Is it possible for some mushrooms to simply be less potent?

After a first grow attempt, I ate around 3 grams. Having eaten shrooms on 3 occasions before, but eating around 1.5 to 2 grams each time, I figured 3 would be pushing it a little.
Instead, it was the opposite, and I was fairly disappointed.
Could I have done something wrong, cultivation wise, or is this just how it happens sometimes?
I apologize for posting this in the cultivation forum, but I've invested a good bit of time in the hobby and I'm just curious if I may have done something wrong.
Thanks!

Dry, made into a tea, using the exact same procedure as every other time I've done them.
Come on, give me a little more credit than that. 
Also, my mushrooms from the first flush were quite a bit smaller dried than the ones I've came across in the past. I picked at the right time, so it wasn't that.

Can be bad genetics
or nutrients running out in cake
or too much heat from the water
or the mood you were in
or tolerance due to taking them often

I had that happen to me after drying them, first time i dried them was infront of the oven in the warm air updraft at lowest setting.
Ended up eating twice what i normaly have, and only got a mild body buzz.
2nd time i fan dried for half a day, then into descicent chamber. Again ate (2 grams dried) twice what i normaly had and they worked but still nothing like my usualy 10 grams fresh.
I think that for me fresh is best.
Potency can vary from grow to grow, even from fruit to fruit sometimes, especially with multispore grow.
This is rare, i have only had this happen to me once so far, ate some shrooms and they hardly done anything, then ate the same amount later on from the same cake and was propelled into hyperspace.

I happen to enjoy fresh mushrooms, much much more as well. I think they are very more visual too.

Thats what i thought about fresh, the visuals are way more prominent than dried, its maybe that im sensitive to the active as very low dosages, like 10 grams gets me trippen pretty hard.
I remember my first time from EQ, i had about 18 grams fresh, and asked if i should try a low dose, then eat the rest later.
I was told to eat the lot or i would only get threshold effects.
Well, i think becoming a big shiny blue patterned form of yourself when u close your eyes is not threshold!!! LOl

The strain is B+.
It wasn't tolerance, as I haven't eaten any mushrooms for nearly a year prior to this experience.
It wasn't my mood. My girlfriend felt the exact same effects (or lack thereof).
