how many trips does it take to get to the center of a tripsy pop?

As with many mushie lovers, I'd love to eat mushrooms all the time and creep around in the dark corners of the world and live the life. But my question is: how often can one trip without doing some permanent damage? Could someone trip every day for a week, and come out alright? a fortnight? a month? i've heard to only take mushrooms three times a year, but fuck that!

You could eat mushrooms every day for as long as you want and you won't cause any physical damage to yourself. Mushrooms are entirely non poisonous. For comparison, it takes roughly twice the amount of LSD to produce cellular damage as it does the amount of caffeine. Caffeine is twice as toxic as LSD.
That being said...

No...tolerance is a bitch 
You would find that your experience of the mushrooms is drastically reduced, even on the second day. By the third or fourth day you wouldn't get high from from them at all, and no amount of mushrooms will make you trip.
You could trip once every week...but I suspect you'll find the experience beginning to wane.
The best thing to do...is use moderation. Trip once every other month, or 6 times a year. You'll get the most out of it. Tripping likely won't become "just another thing to do on saturday". You'll have more fun. You'll plan more for your trip, and then completely forget to do any of it!
You sound like someone who's just been introduced to mushrooms...have you had many trips yet? I know the first couple times you do them, you may want to do them all the time. You have to resist, however, and not because you'll do any harm! There's a thing called burn out...and it's something we all go through to some extent. Think of all the time you will have in the future for tripping! Don't waste it all now

i'm not 'new' to tripping, i've boomed dozens of times. each time it feels like i get closer and closer to figuring out this life, and i was wondering if anyone had some better facts/ideas than mine.
thanks a million, btw. sounds like we're on the same page, when it comes down to it.
