Dose - Splitting an Eighth: Is 1.75g Enough?

[pk4787]

I'm splitting an eighth of shrooms with my friend, is this enough to trip out?


How long should i expect and whats the best way to make the trip more potent?


Sorry, lots of questions, but whats your favorite thing to do while on shrooms?

[websters]

i'm not sure if 1.75 grams per person will be enough i guess it all
depends on your weight. i plan on doing around 2 my first time which is
what most people suggest.

I think it will be the right amount. SWIM knows from personal experience if u get an eighth exactly 3.5 or bigger then 1.75 will be enough, he has sold it to his friends and they tripped on it. Just make sure that you dont eat a lot proably half a day to a day before u do it... and eat them all at once chase with orange juice (SWIM has had better more intense trips using OJ) or what ever u choose to use


ENJOY!

youd probably get a minor alert of something psychedelic,but not a very heavy trip.i have got something off 10 grams fresh shrooms before,which equal 1 gram dry.

[Muirner]

i believe that he is buying dried shrooms already, just because if he was buying a fresh eighth, it would be pretty useless

Yeah, it depends a lot on your weight and tolerance... if it's your
first time (or if you haven't tripped for a long time) and you're not
really big, it should give you a good (though relatively mild)
experience.

Personally, this amount will give me a real low-key trip with some
visual distortions/patterning, a rather nice body high, and some mental
effects (although the mental aspect is especially toned down at this
dose, for me). I am light (110lbs), but also have done shrooms a
lot.

And like Muriner said, fasting for 1/2 day - a day will help out a
lot. Liquefying the shrooms in juice or something (or make some
tea) will make you come up faster and more intensely.

There's a couple threads on this forum about fun things to do while
tripping, but if you're with a friend, you'll find a lot of fun stuff
to do on your own.

Yes there dry shrooms,


and ill definately not eat anything for a while and then ill drink oj too, and am i supposed to chew them thoroughly and wash it down with oj or what?

[websters]

you can grind them up in a coffee grinder if you have one and mix it with oj.



grinding them up will bring the trip on sooner, also chewing them in your mouth for a few minutes also helps.

Putting them in the blender with your juice and ice cubes works really
good too. The blended ice covers up the texture, and the fact
that it's cold makes the experience a lot less gross for some reason...
definitely my favorite way to eat them.

I sometimes grind them up with a grinder (funnily enough) then brew with a couple of tea bags, if your really health concious you can use green tea - antioxidant ahoy! It doesn't taste all that nice but a few spoons of sugars soon change that!


I'd say an eighth between 2 will def give you a nice mild trip, but you need to go higher to get the real beautyEdited by: iggypoop2

By brewing them up with a couple of tea bags, i hope to God your not talking about putting them in hot water... This will make the mushies much less potient, and that's not what your after.

Yes if your going to eat them, this is SWIM's personal favorite, he knows it takes a little longer to come up then if you grind them but he enjoys playing with the mushies. He will usually put a cap and stem into his mouth let it sit on his tongue for a few then chew it up swollow, put the rest of what ever he is eating in his mouth, play with it if he wants ,and then swollow, follow with as little liquid as possible. this has maximized his trips

i have had mushies fresh, dried andsimmered with tea (simmered not boiled) and have never noticed and loss of potency with any of these methods. Suppose some people may find a difference, just not me. Just as a matter of interest which mushies do you like to play with? shitake? Its just that i think they taste like absolute d0nkeyass! If i do chem em up its usually a case of chewing like mad untill its been broken up and then swallow quick as possible, so then i can finish with a nice glass of oj and start picking the bits out of my teeth! hahaha Of course its all good in the end!

I have split 1/8s and had it blow my freaking mind it just all depends on the strain of mushroom. I have also eaten whole 1/8s and barely gotten off. I would say eat a whole 1/8 just because I am extreme like that. But 1/16 will get you high.

[Muirner]

Go for half an eighth. Personally SWIM loves the taste of mushrooms, so he will let them sit in his mouth and take his time chewing them up.. chew them up and one sip of oj, and then another to swish around get some of the crap outa your teeth

sorry for my ignorance,your fresh shroom equivalent of an eighth,3.5 grams is 35 grams.17.5 grams is a perfect dose for a first shroom trip.it will be stronger,but slower to come on if you eat them dry.if you pour hot water on them and steep for a while,then drink(add flavour to taste)you will come up alot quicker,but it wont last as long.

[fletch]

if youve never done them and they are good mushies then you will definatly experience a trip. but id eat the full 3.5 if ya wanna really experience the mushroom.

[serpent]

these things are allways much better when shared,have fun!

[mattydevine]

half is plenty if they're decent at all...yesterday i ate 4 grams and
and totally blacked out and ended up pissing myself and acting really
crazy. I ate them and was getting intense visuals (everything was
melting, i was seeing double and everything was moving) after 10
minutes into the trip. Intense doesnt always mean better. The shrooms i
had were so potent that 1.75 would be plenty to have a good time.

[sloppo]

The potencyof mushrooms varies wildly. Which strain of psilocybe cubensis has very little to do with it, which species would make a far greater impact but virtualy all magic mushrooms SWIM has seen have been cubensis.


I'd say eat the whole eighth per person, fromSWIM's personal experience most mushrooms available for purchase are of low quality, at least where he is from.

The lowest doese i have had was less than 1.5 due to a cheep deeler and i had a nice trip sparkles everywhere and some visuals but not many, i weigh 175 and am 6'3" so id say that 1.75g will work

[radiometer]

Plenty of people, my partner and I included, find doses of 2g or less dried
cubensis sufficient for their tripping needs. 1.2-1.5g was good for
getting used to the whole thing, and a small booster to that, after a
mindstate of "ok I can handle this" was achieved, was effective at lifting
the level a bit when desired. Your mileage may vary according to body
size, chemistry, etc.

As for beginners splitting an eighth, IMO it's a good idea. It's better to
start on the low end and work up from there, rather than jump into more
than you bargained for. Edited by: radiometer
