In this second part of my article I’ll be talking about the effects and dosage of magic mushrooms. Pay attention because it is very important to get it straight!

Effects

Shrooms give you, in low dosage, a lightheaded feeling. You’ll have the intention to giggle constantly. Shrooms will effect your short term memory, you’ll find it very hard to remember things.

At a medium to strong dosage colors and sound tend to be a lot brighter and sharper. Shapes will change. These doses might cause nausea and headaches.

A heavy dose of magic mushrooms could give you hallucinations. You can find trip reports of people seeing Buddha, God or Allah. People even thinking they can fly. It’s highly inappropriate for unexperienced users to take a heavy dose. Chances are you end up in a bad trip.
Bad trip: This is when you start seeing or imagining unpleasant things, or feel very stressed. The brain, not under influence of mushrooms, can easily nuance those thoughts and make them fade away. But once under influence the brain isn’t capable of buffering that negative thinking. It’s easy to get into a down worth spiral. You’ll end up freaking out and possibly having death visions. This is what we call a bad trip.

When taking magic  mushrooms you should always keep in mind that they only start to work after 90 minutes. So if you don’t feel anything working after 45 minutes or an hour, do not take any more! They will kick in, just be patient!
Effects normally last from 4 to 8 hours. The aftereffects like being lightheaded or nauseous could stay for another 12 hours.

Dosage

It’s stongly advised for anybody, doesn’t matter if your a heavy user or a first timer, to start with a small dose.
For a light trip:

• If your mushrooms are dried take 1 gram. This should be sufficient. If you feel like you want some more (AFTER 90 MINUTES) you could take another gram,  but chances are that you will have a medium strong trip. So maybe it’s smarter to add half a gram each time.

For a strong trip:

• If your heaving a light trip you can take another gram, up to 2 grams. Although it is advised not to start a strong trip if this is your first time taking magic  mushrooms.

For a heavy trip:

• You should take a maximum of 5,5 grams in total. If you take more you’ll get sick or get into a bad trip.

If your mushrooms aren’t dried, but fresh, just multiply your dosage with 10. So 10 grams of fresh mushrooms equals a light trip. To consume shrooms you can eat them raw, but it’s better not to because they have a very bad taste. You can chop them up and make tea out of them. To make the tea taste nice you can add some average Lipton tea. Another possibility is to include them with other food. Like baking an omelet with magic mushrooms. Or adding them with you roast in the oven. There are lots of possibilities, but the easiest method is making tea.
