Magic mushrooms are a popular and effective way to reduce stress, elevate mood, and boost creativity. However, the correct dosage is crucial for harm reduction. For beginners, it is recommended to take 2-3g of dried mushrooms, with a sober “trip sitter” to prevent any issues. A typical starting dose is around 0.3g to 1g of dried mushrooms. It is important to start with a lower dose and gradually work your way up to a higher dose, rather than taking a high dose.
The most common species of magic mushroom is Psilocybe cubensis, with published research showing that the psilocybin levels within mushrooms vary from strain to strain. The dosage of psilocybin mushrooms varies based on the use case (assuming legal access). Two new studies estimate psychedelic use in the U.S., and both find magic mushrooms gaining popularity.
For beginners, it is recommended to take 3-5 mushies only. Dropping a shroom trip while out clubbing could end up in disaster. Wait until the effects have been experienced before dropping a trip.
It is important to distinguish psychedelic mushrooms from non-edible mushrooms, which can be harmful. Macroscopic doses of psilocybin have been associated with lessened anxiety and a more positive experience. Some types of mushrooms contain psilocybin and psilocyn, substances that can cause hallucinations when used in large enough doses. As interest in psilocybin mushrooms grows and more states decriminalize their use, their popularity is rising. However, selling psilocybin mushrooms is not legal.

📹 How Much Mushrooms Should I Take? (Psilocybin Dosing Guide)
In this video, I dive into my thoughts around dosage when it comes to mushrooms (psilocybin). Please note that this video is purely …
Hey James I’m very thankful for you and your website. Today I took my first real trip. I’m 39 years old and own a business and do very well. Lately I’ve been pretty depressed and have been drinking heavily. I came across some articles on micro-dosing and have been micro-dosing for a while but I still drink at night. Not good. I woke up this morning and went to my office then met with some clients and went back to my office around 11am and told my wife that I have a drinking problem and I’m sad. I told her I would be going home and doing a real trip. Don’t call me I’m putting my phone on airplane mode. I took .5 grams and 2 minutes later I said “fuck it I’m taking 2 grams” so I ended up taking 2.5 grams and covered my eyes and listened to your mushroom playlist. I tried doing it inside but got a little scared so I took my big speaker into my backyard and laid under the sun looking up at the trees and clouds. It was the most beautiful experience and I think it was because I followed your advice and listened to your playlist. I feel amazing now. I started my trip around 12pm and finished by 5pm. I stayed outside the whole time looking up. I felt like god was with me the whole time. It was amazing. I felt I was in the jungle with nature. My wife came home around 6 and she found me outside still 🤣. I explained to her how beautiful it was. I personally think tripping by myself is what I needed. I want to do it again next week maybe 4 grams. Thanks James for everything 🙏
That’s an epic transcendent shirt man, really appreciate the colours and shapes.. where did you get it? Great content and cheers from the Welsh border. We have some of the strongest and ancient psilocybin wizard caps in the world. our soil is dark, rich and old….you don’t need much to get in touch with the druids. I’m lucky as they grow at the top of my lane where the sheep graze. tens and thousands of them sprout up late October. Unlimited magical supply!
Hey James, I just had my first experience with golden teacher today with a good friend of mine as a trip sitter and it was an amazing experience. And a lot of the things you said were very true so I wanted to also say thank you to you for providing educational and insightful articles about psychedelics. As you said the first trip is quite foundational, I want to give credit to you for helping me build that foundation
Dosage does matter. Recently took 6-7gs thinking I needed more than the last time, which was 4gs 3 days before. I went through the sickest trip ever. I literally was out for a couple hours, then when I came to, I could barely talk and communicate to my spouse. I was literally tripping balls when they kicked in, which took around 10min. The effects were so insane I had to lay down and that’s when I was out of this world. I can’t say I enjoyed the heroic dose because, I only remember before I laid down and after when I came back to reality. Never took a hit like that before, but oh boy was it an experience!
It’s been ages since I last tripped in the 90’s, and shrooms are hard to come by where I am, so I’m growing my own. They’re just starting to fruit, and I’m hoping they’ll be ready for the full solar eclipse next month, or maybe even sooner. It’s going to be an epic experience, but I guess I’ll start with a 1g to 3g dose to see how I feel. Thanks for the tip!
I think you do a really excellent job explaining the experience. I was able to watch another One of your articles before I took my first time journey. I went to a weekend treat where we took two trips. The Friday night trip was three grams for everyone. Then based on your experience the first night they gave us the choice to double the dose to six grams. I personally thought it was a great place and way for me to experience my first trips back to back in a loving spiritually guided environment. I was able to fully disconnect from the outside world and truly focus on the experience over the entire weekend. I am grateful for this medicine and what it has done for me. I am just in my first week of life after my first journey and it has been wonderful so far.
Hey James, I really want to do a heroic dose. But I’m also really scared to face myself on the heroic dose. I am afraid to face my fears and just thought of a bad trip is making me even more scared to take it. I know that because i am not my authentic self,have a lot of work to d, anda lott of things are suppressed within me. But I also feelthat, to get out of this constant cycl, i need to face everything directly for which shrooms would be the best tool and will help me break my pattern. Please guide me on this.
Hi James. You helped me several months ago before I went to experience Grandmother Aya in Ecuador. The shaman only gave me 1/2 doses because of my openness to the Spirit world and I still didn’t come out of the experience until about 36 hours later when others were done after 6. I still wanted to “stretch” more and started micro dosing for only about a month on 100mg. The effect was a little feeling out of body but nothing more. I would like to see where the Spirit of the psyloybin can take me. Im afraid but not afraid if you know what i mean… what dose would you recommend? I plan to check out the checklist but you helped before… hoping you can again… just don’t know what to expect…i guess we never do really🍄😊
I had a trip last night like the one you describe at 11 minutes and I took a little more, but it was after the 1 hour mark, so it didn’t intensify. I ended up smoking some herb on top of it, but I never truly blasted off. So dosage really does matter, I’m just careful because I’ve had a couple scary trips, so I’m a little afraid of losing my ego all together, but last night, I kind of wanted to blast off. Oh well, next time I know what to do.
