    25mg of psilocybin, not 25mg dried mushrooms. This isn’t an insignificant dose, roughly equivalent to 2.5g of dried mushrooms.

      Thanks, was hoping to find this in the comments. That’s actually much lower than I expected, always thought you had to go on a 5g journey. I personally don’t even get visual hallucinations on 2.5g

        Oh damn. That’s getting to the point of tripping right? I’ve been microdosing 500mg of dried mushrooms for a little bit now and have felt some mood stabilization from it but this has me wondering if I should go for a heavy dose and see how it goes.

          I absolutely recommend a 2g dose, it’s just a fun, comfortable, good trip for the majority of people. Some people will trip harder than others, but I’ve never met anyone who didn’t enjoy a 2g trip and if you’re already microdosing 500mg without much effect you won’t be going off the rails tripping or anything. I’d consider it a starter dose.

            Hmm seems a bit on the high side. If you are a small person, and don’t know how strong are your shrooms, stay on the 1g side for a first. I’ve definitely been scared to shit on 2g. Can’t say it was bad, but tough.
