Dose - First Time Mushroom Dosage

[LeadCenobite]

buy for using with one other person? We both are unexperienced users but its her 18th birthday soon and I want to spend it with her having an awesome trip. Can anyone please give me advice? What makes the trip scary..funny..intense? Any help would be great. Thanks alot.

[matti_2003]

Depends on the strain and hard you wanna trip. Iv got some golden teachers and do about 25 gram. Its best to start off with small amounts and then work your way up so that you dont have too many and a bad trip

[HippieD9]

25 grams! That's wayyyy to much. For normal everyday cubes, I'd say start around 2-3g each and go from there. As far as things to do, favorite music / movies are a good idea for the start. Once you're going, it wont be hard to find things to do.





Peace,

[thydarkprevails]

unless he means fresh, rather than dried...but i'd go with 2-3 grams dried for a start...i like the b+ strain

[matti_2003]

Yeah i meant fresh. I dont know what your laws are but in the UK they are legal if you buy them fresh so i presume you will be. SWIM usually grows his own and dries them out and then puts them in empty 500mg capsules. He usually takes 5 capsules to get the effect he wants

[HippieD9]

Ahh, gotcha. Well, then that all makes sense, doesn't it. Just trying to make sure these poor people dont freak! I'm sure everyone involved will love it, just stay somewhere safe and warm and enjoy the ride. You'll never be the same





Peace,

[matti_2003]

lol. 25 gram dried would be suicide

[OneDiaDem]

It would be one hell of an ego death trip for sure. I know people who do 15 grams dried. Not I.

[LeadCenobite]

Damn I think it is the wrong season out here to get shrooms! So that plan is pretty much screwed. Winter doesnt work that well for growing things..

[poweredbyhate]

It shouldn't be the wrong season at all... Everyone I know that
has grown mushrooms has done it indoors. Any kits you get or any
of the info you read online almost always deals with indoor
growing. The seasons shouldn't really have anything to do with
it. It could just be that your area is dry right now, or you
don't know the right people...

[ToxicMind]

My first mushroom trip I did 13grams dried. I was told I didn't have to do that many, but I wanted to really trip hard and get the full experience. My friend, who has tripped before, took about 10grams. It was very intense. It seemed to last forever, too. I read online that a shroom trip is only a few hours but I felt like I was tripping all day long. Everything was very different. I enjoyed mytripbut I will deffinetly take a lower dose next time. Next time I'll probly have about 5-6grams, I think I could've had a nice trip with that amount. 13grams did seem a little heavy, but it wasn't a negative experience.

[GerhardV]

i would start out with under 1/8th.. 2g dry is good

[club222]

I did 3 grams of golden teacher my first time. Very good trip.

[Iggypoop]

15 gr cubensis, fresh from the local shop- that my friendscan't be beaten, not even with a very big stick! add one sunny afternoon a pair of shades and a view..........

[Micklemouse]

15 grams for a first timer is a tad excessive, don't you think? Unless you meant 1.5 grams which is a more sensible starting dose. Build a relationship with the Shroom before you go for the heroic doses. If you don't there's a good chance that the Shroom'll beat you, with a very big stick...

[Df1337]

SWIM would advise you to start somewhere from 2g-3.5g of dried
mushrooms. This is what SWIM did his first time and had a
wonderful night.

Hi, my first post!

So anyway SWIM wants to take shrooms for the first time, but SWIM is not sure how much he should take. SWIM and two or 3 of SWIMS's friends are all taking some, and it all of their first time. how many should they take each? would one eighth be enough split up between all of them?

Thanks for helping SWIM out.


**sorry if this is against the rules to post like this, please let me know if it is!

oh and also, why must i use "SWIM"?
just curious, new comer here...
thanks guys!

[Rhin]

SWIM says depending on the type of shrooms you should take between 2-4 grams. Make sure you are with very close friends.

If SWIY knows what type of shrooms they are this could help SWIM help you.

SWIM is used to keep SWIYSELF away from self incrimination just to keep everyone on the forum safe.

[Phungushead]

SWIM and many others here seem to think that 1.5-2.5g of psilocybe cubensis (on the safe side) is good for a first time dose. Keep in mind that an eighth is 3.5g. There are many threads on this, do a search and check them out for some more opinions!

SWIM (someone who isn't me) prevents online self-incrimination. But it doesn't have to be SWIM - it could be your 3-legged toadstool, imaginary friend, or your pet. SWIM personally happens to have a pet labrat

Welcome to the forum.

[samsnack15]

cool, now i know what SWIM stands for
so basically, SWIM should get 2 eighths to cover for his 3 friends?
that could be costly to SWIM....might wait til SWIM has more money,
but thank you for your input!!

and thanks for the welcome

[Natedogg8922]

When swim did mushies for the first time he ate a entire eighth along with one friend who did the same. SWIMs trip was pretty intense and a lot to grab on to as this was swims first experience with psychedelics. SWIM enjoyed it a lot though and is looking forward to the next time. Two of swims other friends split an eighth and they both enjoyed it but when they described it to swim it was nothing like he had experienced.

Like someone else stated though, make sure swiy is with good friends that you know well. Also it would be a good idea to have a sitter with you guys. Stay safe with it and enjoy it, its deffinatly an experience.
