The Shroom Thread

For micro dosing you shouldn't be taking it every day. Only every 2nd or 3rd day.
 
I can't wait to start microdosing. I've been wanting to try it for a while now after almost a month of research by finding as much information as I can.

Why? What are your expectations? Just curious :)
 
So I bought the microdosing capsules from DGF and I'm underwhelmed so far.

I took a cap at around 4 or half past 4 and up until now I haven't felt anything. Bare in mind, these are 0.5g of Golden Teacherss per capsule, but I feel absolutely nothing.

I have never had any experience with any psychedelic substance prior to this.

Update: I felt nothing when I took 0.5g even after 4 hours. I then took another capsule 2 hours ago and I feel slight tingling sensations, but nothing other than that.

So I've taken 1g so far and still nothing.

Can someone confirm if the microdosing capsules from DGF are legit? I've never had any psychedelics before so I expected to at least feel something.

I'll take another capsule on Friday and see if anything changes.

Mate, I feel like you're missing the point of micro-dosing. If you want to feel something, micro-dosing ain't for you :) you're not supposed to really feel anything and be able to go about your business without any drug like effects.

You're probably also dramatically increasing your tolerance by taking so often. Shrooms build up tolerance exponentially almost. Give it a 3 day break perhaps?

I know what microdosing is and I know I'm not supposed to feel psychedelic effects. But you're also missing the fact that I consumed 1g of shrooms and NOTHING happened at all. My tolerance can't be that high cause I've never taken shrooms before so either the substance inside the capsules isn't actually shrooms but something else or 1g of Golden Teachers does nothing to me.

But I am going to give this a few more tries so I'll take my next dose on Saturday or Sunday and take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

FWIW, the very first time I tried shrooms I ate 3 smallish Golden Teachers (stem and cap), dried. It weighed slightly less than 1g and I also felt nothing (apart from disgust at the taste). Was disappointed.

Next I tried 2g Penis Envy (which is supposedly more potent than Golden Teachers) and that had me proper schpongled. Was NOT disappointed!

Some say "1 for fun and 2 for wooo.." but obviously there are many variables, and peoples' natural tolerances are different, sometimes drastically.

1g of Penis envy is equivalent to 2g of Golden teachers. That must have been some journey
 
Anyone tried those chocolate truffle shrooms? They're apparently 2.5g for R140 at KingKushie. A mix of 4 different shrooms. I'm wondering why it's so cheap. 1g of any shroom generally costs you R100 - R150.

You should feel something. I microdose using between 0.15g and 0.3g of raw dried shrooms (ie not capsules). I can feel a buzz. It is noticeable. Its hard to explain, but I always know its there. Its almost like a strange kind of tiredness.

I once thought that my shrooms were weaker, so I took 0.55g of dried shrooms on a work day. I had mild hallucinations - my screen was waving slightly, like it was blowing in a breeze. That was the last time I ever did such a high dose when microdosing! Even 0.35g is sometimes uncomfortably high for me.

I just want to feel a slight boost in energy, focus and mood. It's been about 6 months since I last took my antidepressants, but they still have this weird side effect ever since I've stopped taking them.

I switched to weed, but weed makes me feel lazy so I'm stopping it for now and trying shrooms.

I noticed a tiny increase in overall mood, but I expected more for 1g of Golden Teachers.

At first, I took 0.5g and it did nothing at all except slight body sensations. It went away and I felt disappointed. I then took another and same thing.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm going to take a 2-3 day break to reset tolerance and give it another shot. I was really looking forward to this.

I'd stick to buying whole mushrooms and divide them into doses yourself. I'm not convinced the microdose caps are good value for money / have no idea how much actual dried shroom goes in there and whether they're adding any kind of filler to bump up the weight etc.

This is also a big worry for me, not that Im micro dosing but my wife is. I think she needs to take a bit of a break and in that time I will buy raw shrooms and split it into 0.3g dosages

Take a cap every third day for 4 weeks and check how you feel and make a decision after that.
 
What would be the correct setting for a 3g shroom trip? Or what is advisable to do and not to do?

This is for research purposes

How do you deal with the taste? I had raw shrooms in amsterdam and vomited like in the exorcist in the streets.

I would say number 1 is to have a private setting where you're sure you won't be disturbed for the length of your trip. It can really change the tone of your trip when you have to try to deal with invaders from reality.

Have a positive, clean environment to trip in. Make sure everything you need is easily accessible because it can become really difficult to do some of the simplest tasks on psychedelics. Try to have some fun, interesting distractions available. Anything with patterns and textures is fun. If you want music, keep it light.

As for actually taking the mushrooms:
Fast for at least 6 hours before taking them. Food in the stomach affects absorption.
Don't try to break up the dose into multiple parts. If you take 1g+1g+1g over several hours it's not going to function like a 3g trip.
Ginger is incredibly helpful for nausea.
