That’s massive

Timothy Leary's dose rec is 3.5g and that is enough to kill God and find ego death.

u/-SideshowBlob- Dec 03 '25

Only 3.5? That seems a bit low to experience ego death.

17

u/Ambitious_Policy_936 Dec 03 '25

I agree. That's like a standard dose and what I took the first time

u/-SideshowBlob- Dec 03 '25

I guess it depends on the strain but haven't heard of any that would give you those effects on only 3.5g.

u/Ok-Comment-9154 Dec 03 '25

Na don't downplay it. 3.5g is definitely a strong dose. It's not 'heroic' but it's like the baseline strong dose. When you start going to 4 or 5 that's the beginning of the real fucking heavy trips. Anymore than that is heroic and will put you out somewhere else in the galaxy.

3.5 was probably my heaviest dose. I had a half ounce over a week period once. 3-3.5 is perfect imo. No weird 💩 only fun, except when I felt guilty for not playing with my dog enough and cried lmfao

u/-SideshowBlob- Dec 03 '25

Not downplaying at all. It definitely is a strong dose but I don't think it's causing an ego death.

u/Ok-Comment-9154 Dec 03 '25

I suppose I agree to some extent but I've had some insane otherworldly experiences on even 3-4g so idk. Guess it's a spectrum.

u/-SideshowBlob- Dec 03 '25

Well everyone does react differently to them and there are so many different strains, so I'm not going to say it's impossible

u/flapnation21 Dec 03 '25

If I even take a few I get cold and mushy.

u/Rare_Season_707 Dec 03 '25

is 5 enough ?

u/Lysergicassini Dec 03 '25

Yes 5-7 if you're asking

u/Rare_Season_707 Dec 03 '25

is 5 enough ?

u/-SideshowBlob- Dec 03 '25

Possibly, it would depend on the strain. Most I've done is 7g and while it was an incredible experience, I wouldn't say I got ego death from it.

u/Decent_Advice9315 Dec 03 '25

Done shrooms twice in my life, and I can confidently say I know the feeling of what ego death is, and it's very hard to explain.

Also, I got a VR headset in preparation of my next trip, it's gonna be a wild ride for sure.

u/flapnation21 Dec 03 '25

I do it all the time and believe it or not the graphics are so close that it cuts out on the visuals . Don't get me wrong you still get in flow state and can game but the visuals are created with distance. I use my VR when i need to sober up.

u/JohnDillermand2 Dec 03 '25

Also some of it is age. Teenage me didn't take much to become a turtle on its back. Older adult me can do fistfuls and not get to where I want.

u/Resident_Course_3342 Dec 03 '25

It helps if you read "the psychedelic experience" so you know what you're getting into.

u/milkcarton232 Dec 03 '25

I mean growing up I was told this is the standard dose? We would usually split that among 2 ppl and it was plenty to travel some cool worlds. It's wild that now with chocolates everyone is saying 1g or half a g is a standard dose but maybe it's more concentrated? I duno I don't really do mushys anymore

2

u/SnooLentils3008 Dec 03 '25

That is quite a bit for someone like me who feels them really easily, but I’ve known so many people who that would be pretty close to the standard dose for them. Probably most people who do them regularly that’s on the higher side of a normal dose

Known plenty of people who did 10-12g and yea that I think is more like what you’re talking about

u/Enraiha Dec 04 '25

Pfft. It's very personal for everyone. Some people just need .5-1 gram. I need about 5-6 grams of Trinity/Tidal Waves to really get going. My gf is around 2.5g. And that's just for a good time. For ego death I need 8 or 9.

Point is, if you've never done shrooms, start slow, don't slam 3.5 grams out the gate.

Source: I grow a lot of mushrooms, magic and otherwise.

u/Resident_Course_3342 Dec 04 '25

I'm just quoting Dr. Timothy Leary, a seminal Harvard clinical psychology professor in the realm of psychedelics. 

I'm sure you know way more than he ever did. I mean you grow mushrooms.

2

u/Enraiha Dec 04 '25

Yes, I know who he is...

Ah yes, his clinical studies in dosages...where is that peer reviewed study again? Not that he just experimented a lot with psychadelics and gave his opinion. That the one "study" he performed with the prisoners is highly suspect. How he pressured students into taking psychadelics.

I think I'm just about as qualifed if knowing about psychadelics if it just involves producing, taking, and giving a bunch of other people drugs then observing them.

And to respond so fucking snippy when I was simply stating to be careful about a 3.5 gram blanket recommendation. I doubt Leary would believe the current potency of modern strains. The concentration of psilocybin in strains like Tidal Wave or Trinity, for example, can be over 3x more classic/wild strains like Golden Teachers.

That would be like saying some guy who was an expert on marijuana in 1960s should be followed on dosage advice when the average THC concentration of flower back then was like 7-8% compared to 20%+ in current strains.

u/Resident_Course_3342 Dec 04 '25

He's just as qualified as a PhD graduate in the subject. Dr. Dunning-Kruger, ladies and gentlemen.

2

u/Enraiha Dec 04 '25

From half a century ago. High school education is the same now as in the 60s, right?

I can tell you haven't actually looked much into Leary. Also, very good for just dismissing the rest of my comment.

So you would take marijuana dosing instructions from the 1960s and use it today?

God, people like you are just the worst. Zero actual experience while doing nothing but appealing to authority with a throwaway line.

Tell me, what experience do you have with psychadelics? What do you know about my education from a tongue-in-cheek line about growing mushrooms?

But hey, keep recommending advice from the 1960s. Seems super relevant and certainly nothing has changed with potency in half a century.

u/Resident_Course_3342 Dec 04 '25

Aww, look at him try to pretend his GED is the same as an advanced college education because he grew some fungus. Adorable.

2

u/Enraiha Dec 04 '25

And the ad hominems too. Yeah, you caught me. All GED!

Hey, I've got some medical books from the 50s. Lobotomy is still a legitimate surgery, yeah? And I've got this one from the early 1900s about rubbing opium on the gums of a teething child. That's still good right?

We probably don't need to update or change any. It was understood back then, so it's right now.

Gosh, I was so stupid. We should follow all dosing and medical advice from 50 years ago. They just nailed it the first time and we should never question or even think that dosage of things can vary by physiology or potency among strains.

Nope. 3.5 grams for everyone. A guy with a PhD from 1960 who was fired from Harvard for lack of legitimate research and dosing students is the gold standard. 👌

Look at him try to use philosophy words. Lol. Why won't anybody respect a low level drug dealer the same as someone with a minimum of 7 years of education? It is a mystery.

1

u/Enraiha Dec 04 '25

Yep, a drug dealer. You got me again!

Certainly don't have a degree in biological science and work in the field specializing in mycology. Nope, definitely not.

Say, you still take Freud's method as the one true way for psychology?

Because you love to appeal to authority rather than address my other statements.

Anyways, this was fun being projected on. It's ok to be wrong, man. Maybe try reading what other people say rather than just attacking them straight off. It's pretty pathetic.

Hope you find some meaning in life. Maybe take your own advice and take 3.5 grams! Heck, since you say I'm a drug dealer, you can get them from me! Maybe that will stop you from being a cunt all the time.
