WHAT IS THE RIGHT DOSE OF MAGIC MUSHROOMS OR TRUFFLES?

Determining which dose of magic mushrooms or truffles works best for you is a tricky question, with no single answer, really. Sometimes shrooms or trip nodules are used to trip heavily with a high dose, but it is also used to microdose to experience mild benefits. In addition, choosing the right dosage also depends on the product you choose. Whether the product is fresh or dried, what you eat and how much you weigh. You can always use our handy Magic Mushroom Calculator on our website, but in this article we will give you even more detailed information on the correct dosage of magic mushrooms and truffles.

Before taking magic mushrooms or truffles

It is important to know what you are getting into when you first start taking psilocybin. That starts with reading up well on magic mushrooms or magic truffles. The effects of psilocybin can vary depending on the dosage, the environment in which it is taken and the type of product you choose. With one truffle you can get beautiful coloured hallucinations, with another shroom you experience spiritual depth and some mushrooms just make you very happy.

Dosage

When dosing mushrooms, it is important to start with a low dose and gradually build up to a higher dose, as the effects can be unpredictable and potentially overwhelming. In addition, the effects last for several hours. So, should you experience nausea or anxiety, you can't just 'get out'. You can, however, take a trip stopper to take the edge off. Also, always provide a comfortable, safe environment and a trip sitter. Sometimes you may feel less than you expect, especially with regular use. It is also important to buy the right products before your first trip. For instance, a good precision scale is indispensable to weigh the right dose and avoid a bad trip.

Fresh mushrooms or dried truffles

Mushrooms and dried truffles are very similar due to the active ingredient psilocybin. The main difference is that shrooms are literally mushrooms and truffles are more like an underground root. Mushrooms are not legally available in the Netherlands, but it is allowed to grow them yourself with a growkit. Truffles, on the other hand, are legally available - but you can also grow them yourself with a truffle grow kit.

Different dosages

Microdosing

Microdosing is taking a small amount of fresh truffles or dried mushrooms for subtle mood and creativity enhancement without hallucinogenic effects. You won't trip from this and can just go to work or school. There is even current research on the benefits of microdosing for anxiety and trauma treatment. However, it is important to know exactly how much you take to avoid a trip.

Low dosage

If you are a first-time user, it is wise to start with a low dose of a less potent magic mushroom or truffle. Expect positivity, cheerfulness and the feeling of the sun shining while sitting inside on the couch. Even if you want to try a new, stronger variety of psilocybe products, a low dose is recommended to test the effects. A typical starting dose is about 1-2 grams of dried mushrooms, but we recommend you check the dosage with this calculator.

Average dosage

Have you taken shrooms or trip nodules before and are in the exploratory phase? Then you could try a slightly higher dose or an average strength mushroom. Taking 1.5-3.5 grams of mushrooms for some more intense effects such as visual hallucinations, altered thinking and heightened emotions. An average dose of a stronger strain can also be a fine experience for experienced trippers.

High dosage

For experienced users with control and calmness, a high dose or very strong mushroom is the way to go. Taking 3.5 - 5 grams or more of mushrooms provides a solid psychedelic experience with profound insights, spiritual experiences and intense hallucinations. Before taking on this challenge, it is hugely important to weigh out your dosage carefully and know exactly which product is involved.
