I took the a definite non-micro dose for some shroom gummies i have (not at home rn - will update with the dosage info once i am) but i should be experiencing some effects rn and i am not sure if i feel really anything
My experience with shrooms has been pretty consistent in that regard except for a single time where i definitely experienced euphoria, but no hallucinations. That plus the issues Ive mentioned with LSD in my previous post and im just straight up confused at this point. I know people have pointed out that the LSD might be bunk but im not totally convinced since the ketamine they sold me was quite quite good. I think what i might do is wait a few weeks to reset my tolerance then just go for a much higher dose to see what happens
And of course theres a chance the gummies are bunk too, but i doubt it. They smelled exactly like magic mushrooms
Somehow gummy manufacturing can lead to uneven dosages. It was in the news recently, but that was about melatonin and CBD, but I bet the general rules still stand. Some had almost no active ingredients, while some had like 10x the listed dose.
Hope you have fun!
BTW, if you've been off the SNRI for a month it shouldn't be affecting this at all.

This is a huge issue with unregulated supplements and probably most cannabinoid gummies found online. Did the article you referred to go into details on the source of the inconsistencies? I would think with adequate quality testing in process most manufacturers would be able to better homogenize their gummies.
I'll see if I can find it, the issue is a lot of these things are considered supplements, not drugs, so the FDA doesn't have the same kind of oversight.

One product did not contain detectable levels of melatonin but did contain 31.3 mg of CBD.
I don't think this goes into the cause though.
Im going to take the rest of the gummies i have and see what happens. If it sends me into the fuckin shadowrealm so be it
Sayz 'ere theyre ab 300mg each
How many have you got? I imagine the gummy production process to be pretty destructive to psilocybin since it's quite a fragile chemical, so I'd guess you want 20+ for a real trip at least, potentially much more.
Also if you take them after recently having had them they won't do anything. Best to wait at least a week after the last amount and then take the dose all at once if you really want the strongest effects.
I had ten total. Took 3 at about 8 and then the remaining 7 at about 11:30?
Yeah, the first ones probably significantly dampened the effect of the latter ones. So you would have maybe had the effect of 5, max? Even at its best, 1.5g is a pretty light dose, I wouldn't expect anyone to have felt very much from that amount of gummies tbh.
Wait a week and try taking 15-20 at once maybe. (If the gummies are all you have... I imagine they're overpriced, better to just get some dried cubensis if you can, and take 3-5g)
I'll switch to dried shrooms i think Theyre all listed under weird names so dont know if theyre cubensis exactly, but they should be psylocibe at least. Edit i looked the names up and they have iceberg which is a cubensis strain apparently. I'll be getting that
How should i prepare them s.t. i get the full dosage while not having to eat them raw? I find it the taste extremely unpleasant, which is why i tried gummies
I don't know how it is everywhere but I think pretty much all the commercial varieties are cubensis. I've never been too bothered by the taste so I can only really give secondhand advice but basically anything that doesn't involve heating them too much. Pouring hot water on them for tea is fine but don't boil them in the water. But you can just chop them up fine and put them in a drink or yoghurt or whatever you like that will hide the taste and go down easy. I usually do lemon tek.
It is possible that you are less sensitive to the effects of psychedelics, different brains can differ wildly in how they are affected by the same drug/dose. Are you neurodivergent by any chance? If so, then that might lead to you having more/less receptors in your brain causing more/less sensitivity (at least that's how my psychiatrist had explained it). Of course it is just as plausible if not more that the SNRI you took is still affecting you. You can probably find a half-life calculator to see if a month is enough to not be affected by the med (for example Prozac, an SSRI with a 5-day half-life takes around a month to leave your system, but drugs with shorter half-lives will be gone much sooner)
Hmmmmmm i looked up it and the half life of the snri i was taking, duloxetine, is only 12 hours. There shouldnt be any of it remaining in my system. I still have certain side effects remaining though like night sweats idk why
I am very neurodivergent, haha. This is kinda disappointing because i really, really want to experience the effects of tryptamines like other people do :( the one time i had euphoria from shrooms was so lovely
Obvious question, but are you taking SSRIs? They attenuate psychedelics.
I was on an snri until recently but its been almost a month since i stopped
Might still be affecting you. Tolerance to psychedelics tends to decrease rapidly, as in within days, while antidepressants can have effects for much longer. I'd give it another shot in a few weeks with a higher dose, like you said.
Yup, will give it a shot in a few weeks, although simply for the sake of experimentation i elected to consume the rest of what i had now anyway
I experienced some hallucinations i think but only on the surface of the wall tile of my shower, which has a slight optical illusion already. I took a nice long shower and stared at it for a while, and danced a little bit. Although I still dont really feel any different the shower was nice at least
Sorry to hear that! I hope you find some higher quality materials in the future!

Safe travels, comrade!
