why does one person trip longer then another?

I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this phenomenon..
I often do mushrooms with the same friend(s), and always, ALWAYS my trip seems to come on harder and last longer. One of the friends i get spun with is probably 100 lbs more then me, but others have been the same size or a little smaller. No matter who it's with though, i'm always face planting into oblivion when theyre still sitting on the sidelines. Ive thought about possible explanations, bodyweight, empty stomach, mindset, i evn thought (all though this is pretty lofty) that maybe i'm genetically predisposed to tripping because my father was huge into psychedelics.
i love the trip, but two days it realy fucked with my head because i was still facing and my friend was done and ready to move on with her day.
thoughts?

 

Some people are just more sensitive to psilocybin than others. Some people can have a full blown trip off just 1 gram! I don't think it's because of genetics though, the only way your fater's psychedelic use could have affected your sensitivity to it was if it somehow altered his genes that he passed to you. Mushrooms don't cause genetic mutations, so I don't think that's possible. You should be happy though, you are lucky to require less mushrooms than others to have a great trip. If you want to trip on the same level as your friends, you should try taking a little less than them.

 

im pretty sure it has to do with weight and what you ate before. on an empty stomach i usually trip longer than when i do after i had a nice box of pizzzza. or maybe you just percieve the trip as harder..because i mean you cant really tell what your friends trips are like, so you might just make a bigger deal out of it.

 

true, i cannot tell what their trips are like...never quite thought about it that way. Just from what they tell me, their experience fades away quicker. I guess i could just enjoy it more? or maybe am more aware of the places it can take me? hmmm.. thanks guys!

 

its all how your mind takes in the experience. setting and mind set are probably the biggest factors in tripping. im like you, my friends are usually forgetting that they are still tripping while i am off in another universe tripping my balls off. its because i learned to control my trip, i learned what mindset will make me trip harder, and i have learned how to focus on my visuals and let them take me away. your mind just realizes its tripping better than others.
