a friend of mine (for real) told me about his mushroom trip. he had the overall goal of getting a little healthier, and the more specific goal to quit smoking cigarettes. he fasted for a couple days and quit smoking. maybe on the 2nd day (timing is not accurate) he ate a tiny bit of mushrooms. then later a slightly larger amount. on the 3rd day(ish) he ate a larger dose of mushrooms to actually trip. he said it really gave him what he was looking for and helped him to be healthier. not sure if he was successful at quitting smoking, i think he might still smoke just the e-cig. i thought this was a weird way to use mushrooms, and particularly re-dosing a bunch of times, working your way up...you'll have tolerance. but if you haven't eaten any fucking food for day, i'm sure you'll still trip:sunny: i guess he was going tribal or something anyone have similar experiences? how do YOU like to use mushrooms? to put it simply, i like to eat my dose all at once on a fairly empty stomach but having eaten 3-4 hours prior. 2-4 grams of dried shrooms.
I like mine just as you, but as with most planned trips will try to go all day without food, or minimal at best. What you described sounds similar to microdosing. And as with a lot of substances tolerance goes up rapidly so it makes sense to increase each day although I would think the third day would require a fairly hefty dose. TM was experimenting with theraputic microdosing which I don't recall if he posted his thoughts afterwards. I think his idea came from The Psychedelic Explorers handbook.
Kind of a odd strategy in method but hopefully shrooms help your friend kick cigarettes. Sparingly (don't have much of a choice since Cali is one of the few states where shroom spores are illegal) and usually 3.5 grams on an empty stomach but I have explored as low as 1.75 grams and as high as 5 grams. I've explored and enjoyed shrooms in various settings but ideally enjoy them around sunset with access to some pretty scenery. I tend to enjoy tripping with another person or a few other people on shrooms, sometimes I set some minor goals of which I hope the shrooms will shed some insight on, sometimes I go into a trip simply seeking to explore novel Psychedelia.
Im the same, eat about 2.5 grams all at once, not have eaten anything else prior. Seems the best way to me.
