ok i have eaten mushrooms a few times now and im wonderin wat the usual dose size is to trip. i dont kno about the grams, but the times ive eaten em i ate like 4 or 5 caps. i went shroomin yesterday wit 2 of my buddies and we got around 40 caps. tonight im guna eat like 10 caps.. is that alot?? the first time i ate like 5 caps and wowwww. haahaha but yea im not too experienced with shrooms so im not sure. i know shrooms also vary in pontencies. all of the ones we found were purple ringers, but there are these other kinds that the cap isnt opened?? looks like a dick head, another kid told me these were better cuz they keep all of the chemicals inside. i dont kno so ne help would be fuckin fantastic!!!
hey homey, the bigger the cap, the less potent the mushroom, when they open thats pretty much the end of their life cycle and start dropping spores.... next time you pick go for those dick lookin ones you were talking about!
Get a scale and weigh them. It's kind of hard to judge by eye, and going by the number of caps isn't even a halfway decent way to measure. Weigh out about 30-40 grams (fresh) and eat that. That's about 3-4 grams dried, which should do you nicely.
As you say, you need differant amounts depending on the shroom. But there's not many mushrooms you're gonna 30-40 grams of! That's an insane amount if you ask me, especially if you've just started taking them. Never even heard of purple ringers myself, but if 5 caps was nice, you can bet 30 grams of those would be too much. I've never gone over 15 grams, I've had a few varieties, and 15 always did the trick.
