    Yeah, but why would you want to? Isn't 4-7 hours of mind-blowingness enough?

    i agree, dont make the decision before you're doing it. when you come down from the first 1/8 see how you feel about eating another one.
    i'd say it also depends what time youre doing them. i could see it to be alright if you do one 1/8 during the day and the other at night. thats two different experiences and would propably be interesting.

    either way enjoy!

    The second 8th probably won't hit you nearly as hard as the first. You might even consider it a waste, because your body will have already built up tolerance.

    I ate an 8th one night, and ate another 8th the next night, and it was no where NEARLY as strong.

    But yeah, I forget the exact amount, but you would have to eat like 1,000+ grams of dried shrooms to induce a fatal response.

    I think I read somewhere that you'd have to eat around 2 pounds of cubensis in order to take a chance at death. I don't remember where I read this, though, and I can't find it on erowid in terms of mushroom weight, only in MG of psilocybin. Those figures are around 280 mg/kg in mice, through IV.

    The best way to have an extended mushroom trip is to just eat your full dose (in this case an eighth) then just munch on some shrooms throughout the trip. Just eat a cap here, a stem there, till it's all gone. Give it maybe 30 minutes to an hour between eating more each time. If you time it just right, you can stay in a constant rising peak until a couple hours after you run out. Be warned, though, this is gonna be an intense trip. By the time you fully peak, all that you've eaten will be hitting at once.

    Magic mushrooms are usually less toxic than one would think. Some people dose a good 10 grams when they trip... I have personally done this all in gratual eating the first time I did them! What a surprise I was in for! Sometimes double dosing can have a lesser effect, but a longer trip. Try to not eat for 3 to 6 hours before tripping and also take with orange juice or preferably lemmon juice. Good luck!

    most psilocybin mushrooms contain 8 alkaloids, 6 of which are mildly toxic and 2 of which are psychactive (with psilocin, which is metabolized into psilocybin). i can find no reports of death by psilocybin mushrooms. as far as taking another dose later, its a total waste. once the mushrooms take initial effect your brain will only release so much neurotransmitter to trip on psilocybin and once the trip has begun, it releases inhibitory neurotransmitters that prevent another, or a prolonged trip unless you eat a massive amount. this immunity ussually lasts anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

    i believe it was found on lab rats that you must eat close to your own wieght in shrooms to physically die mentally though id think your blown at a pound

    I ate a half of cubensis in one sitting, intensity and duration good god all mighty holy fuckin bajezes that was interesting, for the first time i dont suggest it, i went for a walk in the woods.... cigarette embers looking like big ass cigar embers it was night time and it was total illuminated awsome crazy mushroom land... if your going to eat two 8ths why not munch down the two at once? it will make for a longer trip with crazier visuals.

    I'm with this last poster ^^


    Big dose up front, you'll be begging for it to end right in the midst of the most blissfully harrowing rapture you've ever felt.

    Otherwise my point of view is this; because of the tolerance issue it just seems like a waste of good fungus to trip back to back or extend a trip by eating more after its kicked in. I've eaten throughout and its worked but only in the sense that once visuals have subsided eating more can bring them back in the later stages of the trip where they're usually tapering off. But I never get that same body ecstacy only the body energy common in the latter part of a trip that has passed peak.

    If quantity is not an issue for you and you have plenty to spare i say eat the first 1/8th then when thats done down a 1/4 to compensate for the tolerance. This i tried back when i was first getting into mushrooms. Its basically two trips for the price of three but it was cool in that I was tripping for about 10 hours total and got to experience a lot of different settings and times of day throughout the nega trip. Second trip wasn't as good as the first and i was totally spent after.

    5 - 7 grams at once however... it might be all you need for months.

    ok theres a few misconceptions here
    1st, if u eat an 1/8 then start to come down & eat another your wasting it
    however, if u eat an 1/8 then wait say 3 hours anytime before peak & eat the second you'll go higher longer & the affect will be cummulative instead of dimminished
    as for toxicity
    every shroom is toxic, well every psychodelic shroom, but the toxicity/potency ratio varies
    death caps for instance have a high toxicity, & 1 more then what will get u off could be too much,
    the average shrooms youll get though have a low toxicity and can generaly safely be eatten by the ounce

    Death Caps (Amanita phalloides) are not in any way hallucinagenic. The magic mushrooms most people get off on are generally in the genera Psilocybe and Panaeolus. There are also a few other psilocybin containing mushrooms but none are Amanitas. There is however 3 species of Amanita that are hallucinagenic but in no way shape or form contain psilocybin/psilocin. Amanita muscaria, A. pantherina, A. gemmata all contain ibotenic acid which is converted to muscimol in the body and creates the "trip" The psychedelic Amanitas are very dangerous however due to varying levels of other toxins and often look very similar to deadly poisonous mushrooms like the Death Cap and Destroying Angel.

    All this really depends also on what we considser toxic means?
