Dose - Good Mushroom Starting Dose for Someone Prone to Paranoia

[Nizzle]

SWIM was thinking of eating some mushrooms next week, and was wondering what a good starting dose would be. The thing is that SWIM gets paranoid about health issues very easily. For example, when SWIM smokes a large amount of marijuana, he usually starts to believe that there is something wrong with him, such as his heart isnt beating correctly or something to that effect. What is the lowest dose SWIM could take to test the waters do you think?

Similarily SWIM also experiences paranoia about health issues while under the influence of drugs. His first mushroom trip he was convinced his mouth was bleeding. I'd recommend starting very small, and working up, no need to rush it. Everyone needs to determine their tolerance to psilocybin, as some people are insanely sensitive to it, and reach very high level trips with low doses. SWIM would recommend start with 0.5 - 1.0 grams for a persons first time and then moving up from their. Check out erowid's dosage guide to determine how high SWIM will be comfortable starting at.

Granted the mushrooms are of the cubensis variety and have been dried properly, take no more than 1g first time. Many have taken larger doses on their first occasion but considering your element of doubt, tread carefully.
