SAFE PSILOCYBIN TRIP?
- Thread starter 2840
- Start date
Hi there, and welcome!
This is a pretty general question, something you could find in just about any guide on using psychedelics. So, I’m curious: what exactly are you feeling unsure about? Is there something specific you’re feeling uncertain or insecure about?

I find the usual dosage charts from microdosing to 'heroic' dosage lacking certain information. Most guides are just general information on the weight of the shrooms. Peoples are different right? I wanted a more specific information with respect to my body. I have used some psychedelics before like acid.
I'm 38, Male, around 120kg and 6 feet 2 inch height of Indian ethnicity. What would be an ideal dose for me to breakthrough? I am on my way to Tamil Nadu (India). Its raining now.
Try something between one or two grams of dried fruits, don’t take more.
Good luck

From my point of view if you did acid before, you should be fine experience wise.
Thing about psilocybin is that it is safe, you can not overdose. Even if you would be taking some insane amount like 10-20grams dried. If you don't have any medical issues, there is nothing to worry about. (To have 50% chance of death(LD50) 80kg person would need to eat 1,12kg of dried P. azurescens (the strongest mushroom) or 11,2kg of fresh ones) Even intentional poisoning of oneself is very unlikely, I consider it not possible.
I would take 2grams dried if I were you. Then I would move to 5grams next session.
For people that never took psychedelics I would advise starting from 1gram probably.
If you want to get "deep" than 5 grams is the way. From some weird place of perspective there is no point of doing 2grams first. But also doing 5 right away is irresponsible and irresponsible things should be avoided.
I have never seen anyone taking their weight into account when taking mushrooms. My understanding would be that efficacy of the dose should be tied to the size of the brain... not the blood supply of your body. Humans having similar size heads and brains, dose is stable. If you would be other mammal like whale, your dose should be higher...
If by doing psylocibin fresh you meant "fresh mushrooms" then you just multiply weight by 10. 20 grams of fresh mushrooms would be 2 grams dried.

What you should consider:
- potency of your mushrooms.
Do you know what kind of shrooms you have and how strong they are?
- your sensitivity.
Some people need higher doses, some are very sensitive. I know people who needs 3 times more shrooms than myself for comparable trips. Obviously you do not know this, as you've never had shrooms, but you can do some assumptions, based on your experience with acid.

It's not that common to see dosages based on body weight outside of a scientific setting and there are many other important factors such as your metabolism which make it less important. What is most important is finding out if they are cubensis or not. If they are panaeolus cyanescens for example, then over a gram could blow you to Bermuda.

Thank you for all the response. I did take some points from this thread before I did it. And I did it alone, twice.
It's a long story anyhow. Without going to too much details, let me say, I was a guy who did a lot of psychedelics back in 2008-2012. Some stuff happened later and I was labelled as a person with "bipolar disorder" or "manic depression". I was prescribed antipsychotics till 2024 and then i decided to break free. It was tough.
So, it was a life or death situation for me. you know how this works..i need not tell all that.
anyways, I am back from my kodaikanal trip (alone). I went on a motorcycle, roam around few days, made friends with some tribal farmer gentlemen. We went hunting, it wasn't difficult since they were just walking around randomly and plucking shrooms.
The trip was intense and it did help me find a sense of direction.
More experiments to come..
Have a nice day!

This. You should know that first of all. Try 1 g dry first.
