The fruits of my buddies labors have come in, and he's been gracious enough to share the experience with me of his first grow, as well as-again-the fruits. (And no, I'm not SWIMing, this is really...nevermind). He grew out some golden teacher strain cebensis using the PF tek, and was pretty successful.
I came over when he picked the first flush and to bioassay we each ate two fairly decent sized fresh stems and one cap. Dried, I'd guess by what we experienced to be maybe .75-1 gram, although these are hard to tell that way. We did not weigh what we ate that day.
I did not feel very much head change beyond what the pot I was smoking would do on it's own, but was almost overwhelmed with waves of body load that if I was standing would cause my knees to fail and buckle. I was even kind of gritting my jaw, which is strange for psilocybin, that's more of an acid thing for me. My "n"s were long and drawn out when I spoke.
I don't have much experience eating wet cubes, or this strain. I understand that GTs are known to be less "trippy" and more powerful in the body. Does anyone feel that they are more so when wet?
Both of us came back together a few days later and mutually reported a feeling of sadness that was akin to dopamine depletion with a stimulant. The dose we took was not strong enough to be psychedelic but was far more than a microdose. When I microdose this strain, with .25 gm, I feel great through the day and for a period of time after. This "psuedo-dose" was pretty uncomfortable while we were on it, and proved to perhaps be counter-productive.
The next weekend, we each dosed a psychedelic dose of 4.5 dry grams of the same strain, and both had a decent experience for a good ten hours. Neither felt the sadness the next day.
Could this be some mechanism of psilocybin? I stand by the efficacy of it for battling depression and anxiety, and for that of macro-dosing for the psychedelic benefit, but it seems that just taking a threshold dose is not the thing to do and could do more harm than good.
I'm also curious if anyone feels the same way about the GT strain? I am not a hard head, and usually 4.5 grams would have me overwhelmingly high and hallucinating for at least a little while at some point, but I really wasn't unless I focused on it.
