    Hey, me and 2 other firends of mine are going to do some shrooms as soon as I get some money. I was wondering what the dosage should be for the first time because I've heard many different answer ranging from 1-7. Also, what color shrooms should I get? Because I heard someone say that some of them can be lethal of a certain color because they come from some type of fecal matter or something...I dunno, but if u can just tell what u know about this particular subject that would be much appreciated.

    One gram of dried cubenesis for first time. Every mushroom is going to be slightly different, and everybody metabolises this stuff differently. And don't buy any mushroom unless you know the person growing it. Apparantly lots of people get ripped off ....

    i'd suggest taking 1/8. psilonaut is right, definitely know who you're getting the mushrooms from. it also depends on how you'll be injesting them. eating them is a very earthy experience, and it'll hit you probably after 30 or 40 minutes. my favorite way to take mushrooms is by making tea. it's easier to get into your sytem, i tend to trip harder, and i don't get stomach aches.

    The dosage is going to vary widely depending on the strain and batch; I've tripped balls off 1.5 grams, and sometimes I've eaten over a 1/4 without getting any noticeable effects.

    The shrooms should have gold, spongey caps and white stems with a few blue splotches. Don't buy any of the brown, glossy-looking critters; those are portabellas (with no recreational value, pizza aside.)

    The best idea is to eat an 1/8 a piece...the good thing about fungus is that the experience is easy to control, as opposed to LSD where trying to "force" yourself into sobriety can wind up putting you in a bad place.

    Ok so, how many shrooms is 1/8 exactly, and how do you make it into tea?

    Shrooms come in many different sizes...I've seen them run from 1/8" long to single, 1/4 ounce mushrooms. Erowid should have some good tea recipes.

    i put the mushrooms in a coffee filter, tie it with some twine, and put it in a pot of boiling water. boil it and keep stirring for about 30 minutes until the water has really good color. bottoms up!

    By 1/8 they mean 1/8th of an ounce, or 3.5 grams.

    Trip for real- 5 grams minimum.

    1/8 of cubensis is only a threshold dose.

    it all depends on the mushrooms. The most intense experience I've ever had was with 4 grams. I've taken 6 grams and had a weaker experience. 1/8= ~3.5 grams? = not a threshold dose. I've had noticable effects from 1gram

    psilonut,

    There's tripping and there's noticable effects. A low dose having more or better effects is the result of set and/or setting, not chemistry.

    people these days are used to low dose hallucenogenics. Tripping has taken on a new definition. What is called a trip now, was only a buzz in the 70's.

    A true, mind expanding trip, (not just a little hallucinations) requires a good 5 grams of p. cubensis.

    Come on down for the 4th of July 'shroom party and we'll trip out and discuss it!

    But the amount of active chemicals do vary amongst the strain, how it was cultivated, processed\dried etc. Just like pot, some plants have more THC than others.

    doesn't that destroy the psilocybin? I tried that before and nothing happened.
    Dont boil 'em... just blend em up with some juice and drink the fucking magic potion!;)

    Easy

    Psilonaut,

    certainly. I designate only P. cubensis, and although it comes in various varities, and in fact may vary at different times of year, My knowledge is derived from the most commonly avalible P. Mex (cultivated and wild) and the various wild P. N. America (with which I have extensive experience).

    The mex is a bit stronger, generally, and I've tried a cultivated cambodia variety that was maybe a little stronger still; nonetheless, the quantitive difference didn't seem like more than 20%, although there were distintive qualitive differences.
    ------------------
    Don't boil your 'shrooms. Step them for 45 min. in water to which some white distilled vinegar has been added to the ratio of 1 part in 16. This will give you an excellent extraction rate, little psilocybin breakdown, and a large amount of psilocybin to psilocin conversion.
    You'll get off in 10 mins, be tripping in 20, and completly down in 6 hours.
