A.k.a blue meanies... Recently purchased 40g 'fresh' mushrooms from Amsterdam. They sent dried ones instead - no worries tho. I read on Erowid that 0.5g is a mild trip and 2g is a strong trip so I thought I'd take a gram of these mushrooms. Waaay too much! I later read from another source that 0.2g is a mild trip, 0.5g is regular trip, and 0.8g-1g is intense. I tend to agree - I think Erowid should correct that information because 1g felt like I had took a couple tabs of strong LSD. After the initial shock of the strength of the dosage and the anxiety that I was gonna throw up subsided I did actually enjoy the experience. I since took 0.2g of the mushrooms which had pretty much no effect what so ever so I am thinking probably 0.4g will suit me. How ever, with 0.2g I was able to prostate and enjoy the sights behind closed eyes. I am still experimenting with dosage so perhaps I will find an amount where I feel I taken 'just enough'. Remember - dosage is very important!
Well, everyone is different on their trips and the amount of dosage they need...Plus they may be some stronger shrooms then the norm...I took an eighth(3.5g) of good ol' psilocybin cubensis and I was pretty gone, but it wasn't too much to me.
Many sites mention copelandia to contain the most alkaloids out of all hallucigenic mushrooms. I took around 0.8g-1g (hard to tell) but it was very similar to two strong LSD tabs. I think what bothered me the most is because I did not weigh the amount I taken and for around an hour had to wait to see if I had taken too much. Because I only wanted a mild trip (It was 10am, empty stomach...) this kinda blew the cob webs out of my noggin. I've taken a lot of cactus and LSD tabs/microdots yet this is the first time I took mushrooms. I really enjoyed the experience and thanks for telling me what amount of cubensis you took for comparison. The trip only lasted around 4 hours tho - not like 8 hours compared to LSD. Plus the comedown was real nice on mushrooms unlike LSD. I think if you want to trip hard then 1g of these will make this happen but really when Erowid states 2g for a strong trip I think they mean one where you talk to God...lol... It also states some thing about body mass in relation to dosage - yet I'm a pretty big guy and it was still waaay too much! I'd recommend 0.5g for the first time taking these mushrooms especially if like me you have not tripped in a few years. When you feel comfortable on a 0.5g trip you could always consider taking another 0.5g for a more enhanced experience. For the money these mushrooms are pretty good value. I have not weighed them but I guess I have around 6g dried for £50. This includes postage and packaging and service charge for handling my order to UK. Considering that I will be taking 0.2g amounts in the future I have 30 trips for £50. That aint a bad price considering LSD is around £2.50 a tab and also mushrooms are natural and I prefer natural highs to LSD for medical reasons (hppd) I also have recently purchased two Peruvian Torch cactus that are 3 years old. May be next year I'll eat the tops and see where it takes me.
that's an understatement comparing blue meanies to cubensis (even B+ or golden teacher) is like comparing [the potency of] Bacardi 151 to Parrot Bay. cyanescens are the 3rd or 4th strongest variety on the planet, with most of the alkaloid content being the more potent psilocin compound.
hell yeah, I'd definitely wouldn't mind having these bad boys. a multi-gram dose will make you see stuff that isn't there (i.e. elves) found some out in some cow pastures last year; hasn't been too rainy this year. they'd be perfect for doing an extraction. imagine swallowing pills of psilocin crystals instead of all that mushroom flesh
