If you really want to get into the 'best' mushrooms, the strain matters little, it's the guys that manage to isolate good CULTURES that have the magik...tbh the main reason for the interest is because of the healing and medical properties of psilocybin
so i am not to bothered about getting the most potent and more the most relaxing and enjoyable
I dis-agree, they can vary really intensely in potency the ol' cubes. Pro's will GRIND them into a poweder and mix that up nicely for an even potency, usually using quite a lot at once.I'd recommend 2-3g for your first dose.
You could take 2g, and then if you find you're liking it, take the extra gram after about an hour.
IME, anything less than 2g won't give you the full "lift off" experience, and can lead to you getting stuck in "thought loops".
Most shrooms you'll find will be P. cubensis,and I don't think you'll find a vast variation in potency (unless they've been very badly grown).
Yep, I dry & grind them too, and pop them in 00 gelatin capsules.I dis-agree, they can vary really intensely in potency the ol' cubes. Pro's will GRIND them into a poweder and mix that up nicely for an even potency, usually using quite a lot at once.
I say for a first dose don't go low-dosage, almost every shitty trip I've had to help people through were on halves and weak papers. My wife's first dose was a badass paper we called 'internet explorers' because they had this little pic of a computer with the internet explorer 'e' on the screen, four papers per full little print. Even the old heads agreed, 500 REAL micrograms, they were HUGE tabs. Best time of her life that, mine too, I didn't believe how strong they were so I ate 4... Everything was still bent into a triangle 3 days later muahahahahahahaha....Hahahaha. My wife is going to be dropping acid for the first time next week and I'm really excited about it, much more than I am about tripping myself. It's funny because when I was talking to the friend who gave it to me his immediate reaction was to say to give her a half because these are potent. We'll split a 1cm strip into thirds and I'll eat two of them.
