Mushroom Tolerance and Sensitivity

I've gotten to thinking about how mushrooms work with your body. On my last trip with my girlfriend we were taking what I felt was a good tester dose after buying an oz of shrooms. I took 2.5 grams she took 1.5 grams. We took them and she came up fully a good 30 minutes before me and she tripped seemingly harder than I. I have more experience in psychedelics than she does but not much more.

After tripping with a friend recently me taking a little over 4 grams and he taking 3 grams exactly, he came up before me and I think our trips were of the same intensity. Am I just more naturally tolerant to psilocibin. What could be causing the slow come up.

Another question. Another friend of mine who has done mushrooms i think 2 or 3 times and is also experienced in taking mdma, and has done salvia had a bad trip his last time doing mushrooms. I gave him 2 grams to try on his own at his own house when nobody was home to try and ease himself back into it. He said he took one gram and it wasnt that good. He couldnt get over the stomach discomfort and said it was weird and confusing. But also that parts of it were good. But this is only off 1 gram!!!!


Whats the deal with the difference in how dosages are affecting people with mushrooms. How can I make a smaller amount hit me harder. I feel like I have a natural tolerance and I hate it.

Mushrooms affect everyone differently and how hard you actualy trip out just depends on how much you eat, how strong the mushrooms you ate are, how much experience you may have, how much you weigh, and set and setting also play a role in every trip. example where you are trpping at and what you are doing while tripping.

I know what you mean man. My friend who I blast off with, whether it be a small show with mary j or a bigger one with lucy, always gets hit first and peaks first. I took 2cp, 4 hours no results till I smoked. We took lucy together, 2 hits, he was having the time of this life in a water fountain whilst I was staring at him thinking "what is he on", until I smoked. Taking shrooms with two other guys, one took with orange juice so he cheated, but my friend had been tripping for like 30 minutes and he had taken like 30 minutes after me, so I smoked and bam started tripping. As shroomer pointed out, drugs interact differently with everyone. Body weight, mass, etc. make a difference too.

Aside from what shroomer and Noling said, it could also be how much food is in your stomach, and your metabolism. If you have a lot of food in there, your stomach will be concentrating on digesting all of it together, so it can take longer to kick in, and make the trip less intense. Your metabolism can pretty much do the same thing. If it's fast, it might hit you fast and hard, but wear off quicker than most. If it's slower than average, it could take longer to kick in, but then last longer. And you might need more.

Besides that... It could also me a mental thing. If one is anticipating an intense trip, it is more likely to happen. If one thinks it will be a weak trip, that is more likely... and same with a stomach ache.

If you want the mushrooms to kick in faster for you, try eating less throughout the day of the trip.

Basically, everyone's body is different. So it will be different for everyone. Just try to find what works for you. It is a shame when your buddy starts tripping way before you and seems to be getting off a lot more.,,

I was having the same issue as asdf1. I took shrooms for the first time yesterday and I was anticipating an intense trip but nothing ever really happened. I ate maybe seven hours prior to the Mushrooms and when I ate the Mushrooms I only drank them down with some juice and some Magnesium (my friend said the Magnesium would help with the stomach aches). I got a pretty good body high for about an hour but probably less than that and I got a slight visual experience for maybe like 3 minutes tops. I was horribly disappointed in my experience but my friend who I got them from said he'd try to get me more because of the disappointment. I had half an eighth which is one reason I think this might have happened. My friends told me if I didn't eat the whole eighth that I wouldn't trip at all, but after they told me that I decided to research more and I saw that people had great trips off of a sixteenth so I'm not too sure what happened to me. Can anyone give me any pointers?

Ive done 14g of Hydro, and my gf does 1.7 of the same shit. I've never seen anyone trip that hard in my life. She thought there were flies everywhere, and she was just saying INSANE shit. INSANE. It was Halloween, I didn't see any visuals, and she saw a space ship, and visuals constantly ALL night. I then snorted, 100mg+ of 4-aco-dmt (synthetic psilocybin), and she snorted like 6-9mg and tripped nuts. I had an insane mental trip, but no visuals. I don't get it. I think I have opposite sensitivity to all tryptamines, but I have not confirmed this. I know tryptamines are less sensitive to me than Phenethylamines.

Not all shrooms are of the same potency, just like weed. I've tripped insanely hard on half an eighth, and I've also had to redose with some more after taking a full eighth. I like to have at least 3 peoples opinions before eating shrooms. I've never been the guinea pig

Yeah my friend who I got them from said he tripped hard twice off the same batch of shrooms that I ate and he didn't have a full eighth, he had like 2.5 grams and I took half of the eighth and then redosed maybe an hour later and still nothing. I would love some advice.

Perhaps you just prefer a much stronger trip


Not everyone reacts the same. I usually don't trip as hard on all substances as my one friend , but last shroom trip, I tripped much harder.

I was really expecting something really intense. I've smoked Salvia many times and I'm one of the few people I know who has loved my Salvia trips. I wasn't expecting anything too close to a Salvia trip but I was still expecting something pretty spectacular. Anything I can do to help me out for my next try?

I say get some pure 4-aco-dmt, or grow cyans.

DMT is pretty hard to get around here and I'm pretty novice when it comes to growing that shit.

4 aco dmt, is like synthetic psilocybin, its not nn-dmt, but still hard to find.

just as hard to find but probably equally worth it.

Any other pointers? I was reading that putting the mushrooms in lemon juice also helps make the trip better/more intense. Because I know that my chances of DMT and growing my own are very slim.

Meditate, no lights. Trance music. Putting it in a solution with high PH levels (such as lemon juice) will increase absorption because of the higher acidity.

Sounds good, though I trust myself to be fine tripping alone. . .most people tell me I shouldn't. Should I be fine?

With shrooms, yes, as long as you aren't trying heroic doses and have a history of mental stability.

I find that the intensity of a shroom trip is a lot harder to predict, then say acid or 2cb. I consider those two substances more linear in their effects.

Perhaps leave yourself a note by the door and the phone that would serve to remind you that you are tripping, that way you don't do anything foolish. This method almost backfired on me once, when I wrote the note on my hand, and I was at taco bell, standing near a police officer!
