Dosing

[DjLiquid]

Ok, so I tried "my first time" again but with little to no results. I bought a digital scale on eBay and its in the mail as we speak so I tried two of my largest mushrooms that were completely dried and weighed probably a few grams or so but I didn't feel much. If anything, after two hours I could look at something stationary and it would look like it was slowing sinking but that was it. Now, my question is this. Once I get my scale I often hear people dosing on 4 grams dry successfully. Well, ingesting them seems to be somewhat irritable and makes my stomach upset. I was thinking of making a tea but my question was this. Do you make it with just 1 dose in mind? 4 grams? Or do you make more because of potency loss? I have a water dispencer that actually pours out hot water in which i can steep the mushrooms in but was wondering about how much to put in and how much to drink.

Thanks

I can't explain all of your questions. But for your second time then you might want to weight out 2 grams and try again. Sometimes people don't get much from their first dose. Just wait 2 weeks and go for 2 and you should see some results. Also get extremely comfortable and play some music also helps a lot of people here. But only slow experimental dose increases will tell you what your thresh hold is. For most 1.5-2 is recommended to start out with. If you still don't get any better results I would increase it by .5 each time you try a new does(that is if you wait a week or 2 in between). I hope this helps just a little. And enjoy.

There are a lot of factors that could be affecting your trip other than dosage. I am assuming that you grew the shrooms yourself; how did you dry them? How old are they? How have you been storing them? These things can affect potency of your shroom.

As for making tea, the hot water dispenser will work ok, just let it steep for 15 - 20 minutes, maybe add a tea bag of your choice for better flavor. You won't lose much potency, but you can always double steep the leftover mush to pull every little bit out of it. Tea will come on faster and stronger than just eating the dry shrooms but it will be over faster as well. Just make enough for your one dose unless you are sharing with friends.
