Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIFU by eating shrooms and violently forcing my girlfriend to throw up by blackcatonacid

Is that large of a dose really considered that extreme? I once ate that much on accident because my stupid ass got stoned and forgot I had bought more shrooms than usual and tried to eat the whole bag in one sitting. Only realized when I had made it through most of the bag. Tried to throw up to reduce the consequences of my mistake a bit. Ended up curled up naked in a ball in bed seeing all of human history repeat itself countless times and eventually ending up in the nexus of the universe, being torn apart on the molecular level by gods and entities beyond our understanding. Eventually "I" (by this point the concept of self wasnt really there anymore) realized the only way to escape the situation is to accept that it's happening and I came out of the trip a much less stressed out person over things I cannot control.

Obviously it's extreme, how can you possibly explain that experience you had and not see that it's extreme?

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that I didn't realize that dose was considered the kind of thing that destroyed people. I've always thought of myself as a bit of a lightweight when it came to psychedelics.

From my experience that absolutely is an insane amount to take. The most I've ever seen someone do IRL is 6g and that was a lot for him. I personally have never gone higher than 3 and have found that overwhelming at times.

So it's not just me. I just assumed I was bitch made when it came to them. I started out taking 3.5g I was told that was a standard dose for if I wanted to properly trip. So that's what I did. Usually that was all I would take and I'd have a very intense experience and a great time, but I ended up getting 8 grams and fucked up and forgot that I'd bought extra this time. I didn't eat the entire bag but I got pretty close, ended up throwing up and panicking when I realized. Probably why the trip was so dark at first.

3.5 is a strong dose that will definitely make you "properly trip", as in it is going to be pretty intense. Going over that starts to chance some next level shit that you 'd better be ready for. I prefer more like 2g for a nice, mellow experience where I still retain my sense of self, functionality, all that good stuff.

Yeah, panic at the start can spiral the experience into negativland a bit, for sure. 3.5g is a very solid trip for most folks.

The last time I tripped I had 3.5 g. I planned everything out, had on chill music and just colored and had the best time. Cried tears of joy at one point because everything was so beautiful. Felt like everything was going to be okay

With 1.5-2 g, I just want to roll around in the grass laughing while soaking in the beauty of the clouds and air :)

That sounds like a really good time. Maybe I'll give a lower dose a shot at some point

Anything over 5 grams is considered a "heroic dose" generally. I've done it myself when I was younger a couple times and had a similar experience as you, but then I continued seeking that same experience and after a few more times it ended similarly to OPs story. Now I can't even do mushrooms in my house without intense paranoia.

An analogy Ive found to hold true is, If you think of your mind as a rubber band, you can continue stretching it out as much as you want, but it wont always form back to it's original shape after a while.
