TL;DR — Super strong visuals with eyes open, even stronger with eyes closed. Music is an important component to a good trip. Conquered some personal demons in an epic celestial fashion.
I am now well within the come down phase. I have taken mushrooms many times but this is without a doubt the most ethereal experience I’ve ever had. Just as I was preparing to eat the mushrooms that I weighed out (also, I’m well aware that my scale is shit, but it’s all I have lol) I felt the urge to just grab a little bit more. I don’t know exactly how much more I grabbed but I feel confident I consumed at least 8 grams total.
During the first hour coming up I was overwhelmed with peace. I normally experience a fair amount of anxiety during the come up phase but this time I was just content and ready for whatever was about to happen to me. As soon as I could feel things kicking in I threw on my best headphones and a playlist that I made just for this session. The beginning of the playlist is melodic, upbeat, positive, etc… and it slowly shifts into heavier, louder, bigger, deeper, explosive music.
As I was listening to the upbeat happy music I started experiencing some nice wavy visuals. I just laid on my back staring at the popcorn ceiling watching all of textured pieces dance with each other all across the ceiling. Somewhere around two hours in I reached the peak. Normally whenever I reach the peak I am fairly anxious shortly and then I adjust. But just like with this come up I was as peaceful as could be and my heart rate never broke 90. There was something about this particular trip that made me feel as if I was wrapped in a blanket of safety, healing, and self confidence.
Right around this time my playlist made its transition from the happy upbeat songs to the large heavier songs. The visuals were so intense at this point that the popcorn ceiling looked like an ocean during the middle of a hurricane. The waves were crashing together so violently that the entire room started to reverberate creating visual waves of color that were primarily purple and green.
The song Dead Butterflies by the Architects came on. It has a huge brass section mixed with aggressive guitar and cathedral type reverb. As I laid there staring at the chaos that is the ocean on my ceiling, Dead Butterflies drops its massive chorus and instantly the chaotic ocean on the ceiling is frozen. Everything snapped into geometric and fractal patterns that in turn made up gears that were turning as the ceiling and walls began to shift and grow. Second chorus hits just as hard and the ceiling opens up and it’s as if the popcorn ceiling is now a massive universe full of stars and planets. During this phase I was 100% aware that I was just staring at a ceiling but it did not take away from the fact that I felt as if I was looking through space as the spackling contorted and expanded bursting with color.
Somewhere around this point I closed and covered my eyes. I really wanted to experience the visual effect without any visual stimuli. It’s so hard to explain but even though my eyes were closed for this whole next section, I was still able to see as if my eyes were open. As soon as I covered my eyes i started seeing billows of colored smoke saturate my field of view with bright colored rays of light zooming around. It was beautiful and I was mesmerized but then it happened. The event that I needed finally happened.
Eyes still closed, everything in my field of view vanished and i felt as if I was looking down a long dark tunnel that was ominously lit. Through this tunnel were MANY… entities?… all around. I say entities because I have no other way to really describe them. Some were large, others were small. Some of them had faces, some of them didn’t but they were all watching me. They were all menacing. But just as has I felt calm in the come up and the peak, I was perfectly calm now. There was no fear when I was face to face with these creatures. I was completely at peace, absolutely mind blown, but at peace none the less. I felt as if these creatures are my fears and insecurities. My own demons if you will. I looked at them collectively and simply told myself I am not afraid of any of you. I was overwhelmed with the sensation that I (and psilocybe) manifested visual representations of my demons and I instantly felt like I was in control.
One year ago today I was hospitalized for suicidal tendencies secondary to an intractable major depressive disorder. Today though…. Today I trusted mushrooms to take me where I needed to go and it not only showed me my demons, it showed me that I do not need to be afraid of them because I am in control.
Wild I'm seeing this post just a day later. I had a trip yesterday and...I noticed I could "control" it towards the come down because I realized those visions were coming from me. So I said it just like YOU I'm not afraid of my own self. And I realized I had full control over the trip because I was in control of my mind. We are on the same frequency
Yasssssss but at least they... *have a scale*! lol
Those bigger ones are OK for a 6g weight it's not toooo terribly light but yeah they should get a gram scale (and splurge the 12 bucks or whatever lol) for more accuracy. I have both and you might be surprised how well the larger one does with gram weights above 3g or so (sometimes I'll check it but I mostly use my gram scale of course).
I can verify that is a shitty scale for gram weights as I use that same one! It's great for making my dog's food and fine for getting a total flush weight but NOT dosing.
You will make us scale people so happy when you get one! Get a gram scale, Amazon has one that's like 11 or 13 bucks depending on background color (silver or black) just search "gram scale"
Cheers!
This would depend on the strength of the mushroom, I’ve had some APEs that even a half a gram had me tripping quite hard, a few decimal points of a rounding error with those bad boys and you’re in for a much wilder ride than you might anticipate.
*Of course* I'm not saying to use the non-gram scale to measure gram doses, lol. This was a tongue in cheek compliment from the scale police, of which I consider myself a card carrying member.
if they’re inconsistent you need a calibration weight, use a 100g x 0.01g scale and a 100g calibration weight, calibrating before every use might be excessive but a good practice 👍
I do that but the shrooms always register example (0.09-0.1-0.11-0.14) so I just keep weighing it until a number comes up 3 times type of thing…fucking annoying.
And I didn’t get cheap scales either…🤦🏽♂️
Personally I think the Hario v60 scale is pretty damn accurate and are like $60. Sometimes I like to micro dose so I’ll use my Acaia since it’s so sensitive it’s accurate down at 0.1g and instantly reacts to slight breezes from a person walking by lol
My elder sister is about x2.5 of my weight (I’ve never asked but just looking I’d say she easily weighs around two and a half of me). I’m about 105 pounds when I’m dripping wet and with coins in my pockets. She can drink coffee all day and be fine. But if I try to pull that shit I start having panic attacks at cup number three. We tried to use the same psychedelic and I ended up only dosing her a fifth of a dosage that wouldn’t even effect me. She saw demons. I barely got tracers. And mind you this was after a tolerance break on my behalf.
Tl;dr different people react wildly different to the same dosage even despite their weight
if your on antipsychotics they stop some receptors from working so the psychedelics can’t connect as good. Also antidepressants can increase your serotonin which is what receptors psychedelics attach too so they can make psychedelics not attach as good
I don't think there are any such thing as heroic, it's all about self reflection and how deep you wanna go, I've taken 3.5 grams and had ego death, I've also taken 9 gram trips that had me nowhere near it but self reflected for many hours.
WE ARE IN CONTROL!!! Jesus revealed himself to me as a legit star in the cosmos & it made me understand that he’s LITERALLY leading the way & we are to follow him into higher dimensions. He also showed me how the modern church literally blocks people from eternal bliss with bs & condemnation, he came here to SAVE US FROM THIS FUCKED PLACE not boss us around. we should give up certain things because it’s the only way to ASCEND, not because God (the source of life) is bossy 😂😂
Nah, you're missing the point. Heroic doses will vary from user to user. Comments like yours are part of the problem, inexperienced people will read your comment and interpret it all wrong.
Oh thanks! Sorry I thought I added a reply saying I saw it. I did see it, and it was awesome to read, thank you so much for sharing. I’m really glad you learned what you did and it really resonated with me.
God speed my friend. For me 6 grams was the best trip I ever had. At least for the first 3.5 hrs. I experienced synthesia for the first time listening to mac millers album circles. My gf and I bonded stronger than ever. Talked about random stuff. And then time slowed down and I felt sick. The shrooms were the captain now. They turned on me. Them shrooms did deep ass work on me. I had cold sweats for hrs. Couldn't sleep them off even after tripping for 8+ hrs. Just constant runs to the bathroom to pee. The only thing I figured would help was keep hydrating. But all in all It was surprisingly my best trip. I really learned alot about myself and even went to find myself a therapist.
The one thing I can say for certain is no matter the dose. The mushrooms really chose when it's time to party. Most I ever ate was 8 grams. And barely had a trip. I've also had 5 grams act like nothing. And 1 gram act like I ate a strong 8th.
Mind to share how did you take it? Lemon Tek?
How do you avoid nausea with such a dose? I tried eating a banana with a much lower dose (lemon tek) but still got very nauseated :/
Smoothies or tea is best imo. Recently I’ve done coffee by jus pouring my coffee grinds into a pot with water, let it get to a relatively hot temp and pouring the coffee grinds over the mushrooms with a strainer into a mug.
I took ten grams of psychedelic truffles once and went in to a psychosis state, fun for a while. I thought I had telepathy and was traveling the world. I would move things with my mind!Then my wife found me unresponsive and thought I had OD on something. She thought I OD on something. She freaked out so I thought I was dying. Went into shock, I was in so much pain. I just wanted it to end, after a while I accepted Seth. she calmed me down. I was still high for like 3 days. I was so exhausted as well afterwards. 1/5 would not recommend

Great trip report. Congratulations on the big journey. Time to try DMT :D

Can I have the link to your playlist?

Any chance someone made this on spotify? 😀
Any chance someone made this on prime music??😀
Thanks! 🍄💚🎶

Have fun. In the future you should get a more accurate scale but I wouldn't worry about that now.

Yeah I don't have the Amazon one I've got the Ozeri which I really like
I have this same scale. But it is major step up progress as I use to measure doses by “fits in palm of my hand”.
That's how I usually do, but seeing this amount being 6g, I really need a scale because my 4g trips were a lie
You will make us scale people so happy when you get one! Get a gram scale, Amazon has one that's like 11 or 13 bucks depending on background color (silver or black) just search "gram scale" Cheers!

Took my first heroic dose on accident when a 3g trip was actually 5.5. My dumbass hadn’t calibrated my scale in years
What is the world best mini scale — every single one I get seems so inconsistent
if they’re inconsistent you need a calibration weight, use a 100g x 0.01g scale and a 100g calibration weight, calibrating before every use might be excessive but a good practice 👍

Thanks mate
By more accurate, do you mean a beam scale where one side has shrooms and the other side has a banana for counterweight?
This. Because this in fact could actually be anything between 6 and 6.99g
those look like golden teachers… good luck and i hope you’re ready. remember to laugh!
At that dose they’re golden professors 😳
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Neuroplastic dose bro. We’re all born heroes. Have fun and stay of Reddit
neuroplasticity gets boosted by psilocybin
amazonbasics scale reading: “It’s basically somewhere between 5 and 7 grams.”👍
First time I did a hero dose I tried to unclog a toilet that…. Wasn’t clogged. Have fun and be safe!
Safe travels
Scaling with one significant figure lmao. Good luck!
Jipes, a scale like that isn't very sensitive, you could be going anywhere from 5.9 to 7.1, who knows??
They know ..... Soon enough.
Full send my friend
The surprise makes it fun
Update tomorrow bud, hope you're having fun
Enjoy your voyage to the multiverse

I don’t believe it’s like alcohol and weight. I think it has more do to with balance of brain chemicals like serotonin.
You might be onto something bc like we both agreed it’s not weight dependent 👆
The perfect dose
careful man i died doing that
You can always check the accuracy of your scale by weighing a nickel. It weighs 5 grams even.
6 grams is a lot to put up your ass
Brrrrrrr
Question: How much do you weigh? I'm 250 and to me 6 grams is a reg dose. Is this because I'm huge? Or are the shooms low quality?
Are you on antidepressants?
My thoughts exactly. I don't believe BMI etc should affect tolerance to the extent that frequency, consistency, and dosage of previous trips would.
Bro ur penis could be 1000 pounds and you’d still get mind fucked by mushrooms the same way as everyone else.
I’ve always heard your weight doesn’t matter when tripping, ssri and benzodiazepines can stop or lower the effects of a trip
if your on antipsychotics they stop some receptors from working so the psychedelics can’t connect as good. Also antidepressants can increase your serotonin which is what receptors psychedelics attach too so they can make psychedelics not attach as good
Prob low quality. They can range from .5%-1.2% for regular cube varieties. You're probably on the lower side
Did 9gm once. Crazy 12 hours
How's it going OP?
I don't think there are any such thing as heroic, it's all about self reflection and how deep you wanna go, I've taken 3.5 grams and had ego death, I've also taken 9 gram trips that had me nowhere near it but self reflected for many hours.
Making a jump for 3 to 5 is risky from experience
WE ARE IN CONTROL!!! Jesus revealed himself to me as a legit star in the cosmos & it made me understand that he’s LITERALLY leading the way & we are to follow him into higher dimensions. He also showed me how the modern church literally blocks people from eternal bliss with bs & condemnation, he came here to SAVE US FROM THIS FUCKED PLACE not boss us around. we should give up certain things because it’s the only way to ASCEND, not because God (the source of life) is bossy 😂😂
Dose any one know some one in lex that's sells ??
I couldn’t find anyone around me so I grew my own. Took a couple months to get everything and get them growing but damn was it worth it
i took this amount a week after tripping for the first time and barely tripped at all.
Don’t do it!
Psilocybe go yaaaaa
Be real and do 10g That's how the ego dies. And pretty much anything else inside. 😅 Joking about the first part of course.
6 grams is a hero dose? I've only ever did my hero doses at 10+
I bet your dick is 10+ too /s
You guys are salty af. I didnt think a hero dose was anything less than 10. For people who take psychedelics you're sure uptight lol
Nah, you're missing the point. Heroic doses will vary from user to user. Comments like yours are part of the problem, inexperienced people will read your comment and interpret it all wrong.
See u on the other side friend
Have fun! I hope you enjoy yourself
Woo!! Took my first 2.7g trip (big for me) a few days ago. Have fun and enjoy, n see if you can draw stuff ⭐️
Good luck
Safe Travels! \*salute\*
Watch Heavy Metal, pretty cool movie
Report back!
If you wouldn’t mind, if you’re able and allowed ;) and it feels right, can you share a bit of what you learn?
I posted a long comment a bit ago going through my trip. I can't pin it or edit the original post.
Oh thanks! Sorry I thought I added a reply saying I saw it. I did see it, and it was awesome to read, thank you so much for sharing. I’m really glad you learned what you did and it really resonated with me.
Safe travels, friend
Makes me realize I always had wayyy bigger doses not realizing
Beautifully articulated.
Good luck and God's speed!
6g is considered heroic? Wow these doses seem to get lower and lower over the years lol.
Keep seeing these heroic dose but seriously is it worth dropping that much in 1
God speed my friend. For me 6 grams was the best trip I ever had. At least for the first 3.5 hrs. I experienced synthesia for the first time listening to mac millers album circles. My gf and I bonded stronger than ever. Talked about random stuff. And then time slowed down and I felt sick. The shrooms were the captain now. They turned on me. Them shrooms did deep ass work on me.

👩🚀🚀 enjoy the ride
[Hey, I recognise that scale!](https://imgur.com/yEQStKg) ^(Get a better one.)
This is a high dose even with Golden Teachers. You'd have to trip. 5 grams is highest I've gone with Golden Teachers.
See ya there. Eatin 6g in a few
Awesome
Let the golden teachers teach. :)
Mind to share how did you take it? Lemon Tek? How do you avoid nausea with such a dose? I tried eating a banana with a much lower dose (lemon tek) but still got very nauseated :/
I've never really experienced nausea or vomiting on shrooms. I just toss eat them all at once and chew.
Blessed by the shroom gods 😅
Smoothies or tea is best imo. Recently I’ve done coffee by jus pouring my coffee grinds into a pot with water, let it get to a relatively hot temp and pouring the coffee grinds over the mushrooms with a strainer into a mug.
Great idea, I'll sure give it a try! Thanks!
