Only a little weed and get mildly dizzy. Don't enjoy that feeling. The zoning out I can sort of handle. The not knowing where I am going can be a bit disturbing.
So if I have a packet of Golden Teachers - should I start with one or try 3? They aren't very big
LSD I would never take. Seen too many people flip out
Fair enough, to each their own. That being said, I think a lot of those “flips out” could be brought down to lack of education on the substance. Most people I’ve seen flip out or react poorly to substances are those that barely did any proper reading into it. Over time, it’s actually appalling to see how many people take substances based on a friend’s or dealers dosage recommendation let alone even test the substance to confirm.
Read good trip reports, bad trip reports, recommended dosages, settings and environments and you’ll be far less likely to have a bad trip coz you have a much better idea of what to expect.
A scale that can measure grams would be your best bet. You have one? Eyeballing mushrooms can be tricky given their variance in size. Do you maybe know how much weight is in each packet?
That looks more than 2g to me so this is tricky coz by weight, you should take half - the whole packet but if it ends up being more than 2g then you may get caught off guard. If you insist on taking them before you get a scale then I recommend we go with @mister ’s recommendation and micro dose up. Start with 1 mushroom and wait at least an hour if you decide to add more. You can always add but you can’t take away. You’ve got 2 packets so use the 1st to micro dose and experiment your way up.

I am impressed. 3 should be good. I like looking at psychedelic videos on YouTube to enhance the colours etc

Tbh the vast majority of people are fine. But I know I will freak out.

Yip, would have been awesome.Ummmmm...... Says he who really really wanted to buy us shrooms in hogsback
For me I'd rather not take more an hour later, even if its very mild. Treat each dose as its own self-contained experience - that way you're not thinking 'should I take more' etc. and you can just relax into whatever experience that dose brings on. Take 'em, put the rest away and enjoy the ride. When you trip again, then you can decide how to adjust the dose.Will try that - thanks

I would submit that it's worth trying, as the experience is genuinely quite incredible. Someone has answered the duration question, but I'd suggest one or two things, should you give it a go:
Source at least 5 grams. Grind these five grams up (to homogenise the spread of active compounds across the ingested material). Fast for a day, and try a gram, making sure you are entirely clear of any other psychoactive substances, in order to establish a baseline.
Presuming average strength shrooms, a gram ought to get you just past threshold (hard to describe this state; it's energetic, your thoughts become incredibly organised and everything takes on a... glimmer). Closed-eye visuals are likely to be vague black and white geometric patterns, which you can kind of will in and out of existence.
You're going to feel a bit sick in the beginning, and also tired, but this passes.
Once you've established this approximate threshold, I personally enjoy 2.5 to 3 grams. Multicoloured 3-dimensional patterns cascading around in your head with your eyes closed, gentle morphing and pulsing of objects around you, everything looks somehow alive. Music becomes an almost transcendental experience. Laughing at the banal yet sometimes profound 'truths' this state of mind can bring to you. I've also just sat and cried through the experience, and not because I was sad or scared, quite the opposite.
In any event, the point is, there is much more control over dose, as compared to acid. I'd not want to push past the 5 gram barrier with mushrooms personally, as I don't think I'd do well with with a hectic experience, and it can get very very intense. That said, if I were to push any limits, I'd keep a sedative on hand. I know some people would see this as perhaps missing out on a learning experience (which might well be true), but each to their own, and I'd prefer an eject button, should it be needed.
Also, do it with people who are excellent and do it in a safe environment. I tripped once with someone who pulled a knife on me and then tried to secretly eat a further 20 grams of shrooms. That was not fun at all.
Woah! You can’t leave us hanging on this story!! Did he managed to eat the 20 grams? What happened? How did a knife even get pulled out?

Makes sense but I have taken a second and still nothing. Working with hot oil now so not going to take another yet
But I did play better in my comps tonight
Nicely done. The better performance may have been microdose effects but could also be placebo. Either way, glad to hear you didn’t have a traumatic experience. I can reasonably believe your bag is 2g now (again, difficult to have scaled visually as I’ve eaten 2-3 stalks that came out to 1.5g and there was definitely no doubt I was tripping).
Tolerance builds with mushrooms so give it at least a week before trying again. Hopefully you can get a scale in that time but unless your intention is to keep microdosing, I’d say go with half the used packet next.
For the scale, I use a basic pocket gram scale that I got from Blckvapour for R120 and it works well without having broken the bank.

They have calibration weights so if you buy from them and go in store, they can confirm calibration for you for free.

Oh cool thanks. I was picturing something like a kitchen scale lol. Will get one.Nicely done. The better performance may have been microdose effects but could also be placebo.

I would like to see the bright colours everyone is talking about so will do as you suggest. But for the rest of the time I am happy with microdosing as I really want to be energised and focused.
Cut 2-3 up with scissors( as fine as possible) mix with boiling water for about 10 minutes, add some lemon juice.
Worked for me.
