Using Mushrooms (Safely)

Rave: Using ground up mushrooms by “lemon teking”

(see “Lemon Tek”)

Hippie: The plant is intact and eaten.

Psilocybe cubensis comes in many strains, and their potency can vary significantly.

We group strains into five potency categories to help you adjust your magic mushroom dosage accordingly.

Potency Strains Dose adjustment

Mild Thai, Mexican, Cambodian, B+ Standard dose

Medium Golden Teacher, Colombian, Ecuadorian Standard Dose to slightly lower −10%

Strong McKennaii, Mazatapec, Amazon Reduce dose by 20–30%

Very strong (hybrids) Jack Frost, Mac Galactic, APE, Bluey Vuitton Reduce dose by 30–50%.

Extreme Panaeolus cyanescens ie HAWAIIAN (Copelandia) EXPERTS ONLY

Getting your magic mushroom dosage right is the single most important factor for a safe, enjoyable experience. Too little and you feel nothing; too much and you may feel overwhelmed.

What are you looking for?

  • A happy feeling that can uplift a nice evening?

  • A trippy visual afternoon with good friends?

  • A deep psychedelic trip — and perhaps a conversation with your ancestors? ;)

Magic truffles (sclerotia) are dosed differently from magic mushrooms. Truffles are sold fresh and their potency varies by species — from mild Mexicana to powerful Hollandia.

Magic Mushroom Dosage: Psilocybe Cubensis (Dried)

This magic mushroom dosage table applies to standard Psilocybe cubensis strains of average potency (e.g. Golden Teacher, Thai, Mexican). Adjust up or down based on strain potency. (Note: these measurements are for dried mushrooms only.) Also take into account body weight.

Microdose: 0.1 – 0.3g No visual effects. Subtle mood lift, improved focus and creativity. You can go about your normal day. Popular for productivity and well-being.

Happy go lucky: 0.3 – 1g3 Gently float on the clouds. Colors appear slightly brighter, music sounds richer. Light euphoria and heightened senses. Great for a party, Friday night hang-out with friends and creative processes.

Beginner's paradise: 2.5g Body high, deep conversations, laughing mood and good vibes. The classic “museum dose” — enough to feel the full spectrum without losing control. A friendly introduction to psychedelics.

Classic psychedelic trip: 2.5 –5g During a psychedelic trip you will feel, think, and perceive new things. Strong visual and auditory effects, deep introspection, altered sense of time. Recommended only for experienced users in a safe setting with a trip sitter.

Flying with the stars 5g+ Intense, potentially life-changing experience. Ego dissolution, connecting with the universe, mystical experiences. Only for very experienced psychonauts. A trip sitter is essential.

Measuring Proper Doses (dry matter)

Using a tared scale is ideal, but a teaspoon will give you approximately the correct dosage.

¼ TSP=0.75g

½ TSP = 1.5g

1 TSP= 3g

1 ½ TSP = 4.5g

2 TSP =6g
