According to the Psychonautwiki on shrroms (which is fairly reliable in my experience), anything over 50mg of psilocybin is a “heavy” dose. Trouble is, unless you can get your shrooms from a reliable source, guessing the psilocybin content is pretty tricky. The one time I intentionally did a pretty heavy trip on shrooms, it was something like a quarter ounce of dried shrooms, but another time I just had a nibble on one for laughs while drinking with my buddies and it wound up being pretty substantial. If they’re fresh instead of dried or just a different strain or batch, it’s all pretty up in the air, so my advice is to always be ready for a heavy trip unless you’ve already had some experience with that particular batch.
Comment on shrooms
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoWhat’s a heros dose. I only did small amounts and it was long ago. Much better experience than I expected. Easier to snap out of than anything else. If your high on weed or drink you can’t really snap out. But with a low amount of shrooms I definitely could. Then go right back to wondering why all of the Scooby Doo characters are naturally occuring in the cement walkway while sitting on the stoop

I am not religious in the least and I gotta say aborts are blessed.

Yeah just be careful. There are instances of dudes whacking their weeners off with hatchets and one guy repeatedly headbutting his eyeballs onto pencils until he died on heavy psilocybin doses.

This sounds exactly like the lies anti-drug proponents tell to try scare people off drugs. Did you know there was a boy who died after injecting just one marijuana?

A heroes does just refers to doing a very high dosage of a psychedelic substance like shrooms.

I’ve always heard a good normal dose is an eighth. According to that article linked above, a heroes dose is 5 grams, or an extra 1.5 grams beyond that.

I had 7g once.
It was amazing, the visuals just took over my senses and when I came back, still tripping, I felt like I could telepathically talk to my friends lmao.

Glad you had a good trip! I accidentally did a heroic dose of acid back in 2016 and I have been leery of psychedelics ever since (though I have done shrooms and a few other research chemicals since then). I had 2x 130µG tabs of acid in my sock drawer for ~18 months that I didn’t store in the freezer or anything, so I figured their potency had diminished and decided to take both. Big mistake. :)

I wouldn’t consider that a heroic dose. People lie about potency of tabs all the time. I typically do between 250umg-350umg and I’ll get time completely stopping and rewinding. It seems like you just had accurately provided tabs and tripped hard. People do thumbprints of lsd between 10mg-15mg. 5 grams of mushrooms should be more potent than 300umg of acid with just standard cubensis.

Wait, I always thought the name was mocking. Heroic as in “you think you’re superman over here”
