HOW MANY FULL-FORM MUSHROOMS SHOULD I TAKE?
The Hero Dose
With full-form mushrooms, it’s important for users to find that perfect dose so that their high can be as pleasant as possible. After all, you want to have fun or be left with a beautiful conclusion that we know is very possible with psilocybin. As most studies have noted, taking a very high dose (like 5g) may bring forth a spiritual experience, although some users may have felt great amounts of anxiety. On the other hand, taking 3 grams lowered the intensity of anxiety, but the “spiritual” effects were lowered as a result.
Now it’s important to keep perspective in mind. While 5 grams may be coined as the “hero dose”, where your ego is guaranteed to die, it doesn’t mean that 3 grams of mushrooms cannot bring you that spiritual experience. In fact, many don’t like to go above 3 grams because they find the high to be too strong. As with all things, start off slow and if you’d like to try again, you can increase the dose. Some may find that just 1 gram will suffice for them.
