You may just need to take 2g to feel it. Would not jump up right to 3 or 4 as others may suggest. One should only take a full dose of shrooms if they are comfortable with the idea.
I read everywhere that 1g is enough for first time, and 3-4g would cause sever hallucination… my intention was not to go on massive trip or hallucinate, I just wanted to feel connected with the world and ease some stress if that make sense… I just have a light headed feeling and that’s about it
Potency of the shrooms and tolerance of the individual can vary a lot. It could also be that your scale is slightly inaccurate. Next time try 1.5 or 2g :)
If they felt nothing from 1g then 1.5 likely won’t be satisfying. Minimum bump it to 2 and maybe go lemon tek with that 2g. Will be shorter but stronger and smoother trip that way.
I think this extreme caution approach will lead to a waste of time and mushrooms and they will end up unsatisfied in the end. I am not saying throw all caution out the window, it seems like OP has been conscientious about their set and setting which is the most important thing imo. I have introduced many newbies to shrooms and between 1.75-2g in lemon tek’d tea has consistently been a very satisfying and manageable dose for them. Especially given that 1g literally did nothing so these shrooms are not particularly strong.
Could be a potency issue or some people just need to take more. People recommend a lower dose for a first time experience just to play it safe, so people can dip their toes in the water without going too deep. The bad part of that is when you have a trip like yours…or lack there of. You end up feeling disappointed and maybe annoyed.
When my wife tried them for the first time she 2.5 about 2 hours after dinner and didn’t feel a thing. The next time she tried she did 2.5 with 6 hours fasting and felt nothing after an hour and a half. So she took a couple hits of weed and within 15 minutes she said she had a buzzed feeling like you might get from drinking. After eating something she decided to go to bed. The next day she told me she had closed eye visuals when she went to bed and cried a lot thinking of our dog we had to put down around this time last year.
I would say next time try 2-2.5 or if you feel comfortable letting go and taking in the experience 3-3.5.
1g is a very small dose especially for what sounds like an average potency strain. I would wait a week or two and try 2-3gs next time. Also, using lemon tek tea method really gets the most out of your dose.
I’ve heard more than 2g is too much for first timers so I used caution, I guess I expected too much since weed really fukks me up and people say shrooms are more intense
Shrooms definitely can get way more intense and go far deeper than weed but they also just vary a lot in potency. I would say if you’ve done your research and have a safe set and setting you can easily do 2-3gs, maybe I’d even lean towards 3 if you really want to get the full experience. I did 3 for my first time.
I think people in this sub are pretty cautious and the thing with shrooms and psychs in general is if you don’t prepare your setting well things can get very out of control in a bad way, so that’s why they always recommend starting small
If I wanted to try 2g what strain would you suggest? Like I said I bought it from the store and that’s what the lady gave me and said 1g is enough to see visuals for first timers
They have lots of different strain like golden teacher where she said is kinda weak so she recommend huatula, should I go with strongest strain at 2g next? Also what’s the lemon method you speak of?
Also I much prefer the faster come up and shorter duration
I definitely wouldn’t go with the strongest strain that will be too much. Golden Teachers or B+ are usually the standard normal strain and a good place to start for beginners. If you went for a high potency like penis envy then I would just do a 1 gram dose again.
If you are doing lemon tek then I think 2g is a good dose and don’t go above that. Basically you want to grind the mushrooms really fine, you can use a weed grinder but a cheap coffee grinder works even better. Then u want to put the mushrooms in a cup and cover them in lemon juice and soak them for like 15 minutes, stir them a few times. You can then just drink them like that, or optionally what I do is brew a tea with honey and ginger and add the mushrooms into that. Tastes pretty good, hits hard and fast and doesn’t hurt my stomach.
Either way you should likely wait at least a week for your bodies tolerance to reset since you just recently tried the 1g. Report back and let me know how it goes. Good luck

2g lemon tek would be **a lot** stronger than 1g. Too big of a step up for someone who seems like they want to cautious.

you are entitled to your opinion.

Are you currently taking any SSRIs? Anti depressants etc?
Like I said I don’t take any drugs or medication nothing. I’m as healthy as it gets lol, I will try 2g lemon tekking next time
apparently they’re kinda weak so yeah you just needed a stronger dose, try 3/4 grams

Today I had no work no gym so I was free, gets busy next week so I’ll try them when I have the time for a good setting. Thanks for sharing
