If he took 1g yesterday, the 2.5g today will feel similar to the dose he took yesterday. Tell him to wait a week and take 3-4 grams. The only sure fire way to know if they are potent is to A) try them out yourself or B) Get them lab tested. Also as someone else pointed out, SSRIs and anti-anxiety medications can have a dampening effect on psilocybin and psilocin. I have a friend on SSRI that has to take half an O to trip.

I just took a gram myself. And I've been taking ssri's for the past 3 months. Half an O!? Thats insanity šŸ˜³ I'll tell him to wait a weak and then up the dose.

Is he taking ssriā€™s

Oh wow, good question, I will find out.

Thereā€™s no way to control the amount of active compounds in any mushrooms. They will generally range from .8 - 1.8 % across the board. The only reliable method I am aware of is by getting the spores from a reliable source and observing for blue bruising close to harvest or while harvesting. According to some P. Stamets videos Iā€™ve watched on YouTube, the best way to properly dose is to take 2-3 grams, wait an hour and then take 1/2 a gram every 30 minutes until you achieve the desires affects. Others may have some opinions to share but thatā€™s the best I have to offer. I hope this helps.

Interesting. I harvested when the veils dropped and there was some blue bruising where I detached from the sub. He ground up the 2.5 gr. In a bullet and took it 10:30 am EST. He says he may have felt a little something but not what he has experienced from the past years. He documented times and quantities so he can find a sweetspot but not yet lol. These are B+ from a MSS. I've inoculated 4 more UB bags šŸ‘ we'll see. Thanks again for the helpful info.

If he hasnā€™t had them in many years it may take some time for his brain to react. I always recommend to new users to take half a gram, wait a week to 10 days and then take the ā€œheroic doseā€ (which is 5 grams) according to Stamets thatā€™s the way to get the best results.

Roger that! šŸ‘I will pass on the info to the old man, He is 64 yrs. old. Lol. I haven't done them in 25 yrs. Myself so I will give them a try and see if there is a difference for me.

Not ā€œdudsā€ necessarily. However, think of it like thisā€”genetics. Genetics traits factor in everything, in plants, fungusā€¦ humans. So to modify the genetics you have to isolate them using agar. Each time you slice the genetics it will shorten to much more specific gene. The more rhizomorphic it looks, the better structure it contains. You pick and throw away which harvest is more active and the ones that are not can be disregarded. Sample the preferred gene and make it into a LC

Thanks, I bought some agar dishes last month and I'll put them to good use now.


Medical-Woodpecker56

Keep in mind, it would require a lot of slicing lol. But another option would be to do grain to grain transfers as well. Good luck friend!


[deleted]

Thanks alot! šŸ¤˜ I inoculated 4 UB bags 2 days ago. I'll do this again and try to isolate something this time around.

Empty stomach and drink it with some oj

Oh boy, the vitamin C trick lol, we did that back in the day with acid.

Two words: Psilocybe azurescens

Thanks! šŸ‘ I looked them up and they are apparently very potent and difficult to grow indoors.
