i've taken doses that i was out of control. nothing ever happened, but i wasn't really able to move around or talk. high doses of lsd, mushrooms or MDMA.

say a person, never done mushrooms before, buys an 1/8oz (3.5g). that person could take 0.2g, see what happens. a couple weeks later, that person could take 0.5g, see what happens. then take 1g. then the person has a few experiences and still has 1.5g+ to up the dosage more.

i've taken very low doses, 0.1-0.5g and get a nice pleasant buzz. i can go out in public, be comfortable and lucid. i drink and smoke a lot and a low dose of mushrooms doesn't interfere with either.

it doesn't take much psilocybin (~0.5g cubensis) to dilate pupils, so i always wear a hat and glasses when going out.
