A normal dose of a regular cubensis (your average shroom) is 1-2g dried. 0.1g is a tenth of the "small"/"safe" dose so even with potent shrooms that should be a microdose. Just a heads up!
So is the parent comment wrong? 0.1g should have minimal effect?
It sounds to me like the original comment and the guy saying 6x the dose are talking about the pure chemical substance whereas the others are talking about the dried plant.
That might be it.
It's right, except for the part about mushrooms being plants.
I knew I must be wrong with that when I typed it but for some reason fungus wasn't coming to me and I said fuck it.
Big part I think depends on the quality of the shrooms themselves. When I grew my own, 1-2 g of dried was about equivalent to a decent 50 mg THC edible experience, with minor visual enhancements. 3-4 g is where I started to get some of those more fun things, experimenting with approaching ego death.
I tend to have very high tolerance for psychedelics though. Half of my lemmy comments have been made under the influence of 100 mg + THC.
"should have" is always a strong phrase with drugs, people react to drugs in different ways and placebo can be powerful too. People I know have taken 0.4g to feel practically nothing (perhaps even slight drowsiness) while others took 0.2 per person with friends and reported a WILD experience. I personally have my doubts but who am I to tell them what they experienced? They're definitely outliers though.
All that to say 0.1g (or 100mg) is definitely a microdose, at least with your typical dried magic mushrooms. Can't comment on their experience!
Eh, probably has to a bit with the mushroom itself - how it was grown, handled, dried, age, and stored - as much as it does with the individual consuming it.
Sort of? Most cubensis strains are relatively similar in their potency (which is where the 1-2g comes from), if dried or consumed incorrectly it'd tend towards being less effective, not more. For example, heat can start to destroy the psilocybin in the mushrooms so drying them in the oven will just destroy the effectiveness.
There are some types of shrooms that are, for example, 2-4x more potent than your typical cubensis but unless you're foraging without knowledge (really wouldn't recommend that), you have to know what they are to find them if that makes sense. But I was mainly trying to correct the comment above mine because 0.1g is not 6x more powerful than a normal dose of any mushrooms that I know of.
But hey, if there are, let me know! ;)
Thanks for the insight.
Thanks for the chat!
I’m not judging one way or the other. Just trying to sort the math out.
One commenter says 0.1mg is 6x normal, another says 1-2g is normal (huge difference in quantity) and usually microdosing isn’t something people do to feel stronger effects (though stuff affects people differently, again not judging you).
Yeah 100 mg is 0.1g right?
Yeah, top comment says they had a crazy trip on 0.1g which was supposedly “x” times the normal dose. Next comment states that normal is 1-2g, and 0.1g (100mg as you said) is indeed microdosing.
I’m just trying to figure out the math, but it’s not a big deal. I don’t consume anyway.
