Beginner Magic Mushroom Tips
Our guide covers everything you need to know about consuming magic mushrooms safely. But first, here are our top 5 essential tips for beginners.
Top 5 Must-Know Tips for Magic Mushroom Beginners
TIP #1:
Ensure you purchase enough mushrooms to enjoy your experience fully, but start with a small dose. People's sensitivity to psilocybin varies greatly, so it’s best to begin with a low amount and gradually increase after 60-90 minutes.
TIP #2:
It's also important not to purchase too little for your first experience. It’s better to have some extra rather than not enough, especially as you’re still learning about your tolerance.
TIP #3:
Generally, 1-2 grams offers a mild experience, while 2-3 grams is a typical recreational dose, though experiences may vary.
TIP #4 and #5:
Always trip with a friend and avoid mixing with prescription medications.
Magic Mushrooms & Prescription Pharmaceuticals
Caution: Magic Mushrooms and Prescription Pharmaceuticals Don't Mix well!
If you're on prescription medications for mental health, combining them with magic mushrooms can lead to varying outcomes. The experience might be unsettling (though rarely) or result in no noticeable effect.
Recommended Dosage Guidelines for Magic Mushrooms
1) Use Our Magic Mushroom Dosage Calculator
If you're new to magic mushrooms, use our dosage calculator, courtesy of Reality Sandwich, to find the right starting dose. Begin with a lower dose, and if necessary, take more after 60-90 minutes.
2) Johns Hopkins University Recommended Dosages for Magic Mushrooms
A 2011 study by Johns Hopkins University determined the 'ideal' dosages for first-time users based on body weight:
2 grams for a 150-pound person (70 kg): This is the recommended dose for a first-time experience.
Adjust accordingly for your weight:
- 150-pound person (70 kg): 2 grams
- 200-pound person (90 kg): 2.5 grams
- 250-pound person (112 kg): 3.25 grams
2) Canada Mushrooms Co. First-Time Dosage Guidelines For Magic Mushrooms
If it’s your first time using magic mushrooms, and you're unsure of how you’ll react, try this cautious approach:
Start Small: Take half of the bag of full-dose shroom capsules or half of a 3.5g bag.
Wait and Observe: After 45-90 minutes, assess how you feel. At this point, the effects should be noticeable.
Evaluate Your Experience: You might not feel much or could find yourself laughing and hallucinating from the initial dose.
Decide Whether to Continue: If you're comfortable, you can choose to stop there or take more.
Magic Mushrooms 101: Did you know?
Individual tolerance to magic mushrooms can vary widely. Some may have a high tolerance, while others are more sensitive.
For first-time users, starting with a lower dose is recommended, but have enough on hand to adjust as needed. This way, you can safely respond to your body's reaction.
How To Consume Magic Mushrooms
Eating Magic Mushrooms:
Consuming magic mushrooms on an empty stomach usually results in the most potent effects. However, some prefer to eat them with food. Based on experience, trying them on an empty stomach is often best.
When to Expect Effects: Effects typically begin 45-90 minutes after ingestion. If you don't feel anything after 90 minutes, consider consuming more. First-timers should consult the 'Magic Mushrooms Dosage Calculator' above for a safe starting dose.
Dealing with Nausea: Some users experience nausea when ingesting magic mushrooms. If this happens, consider using our shroom capsules, which contain ground mushrooms for easier digestion. Most users report no nausea with capsules. Alternatively, preparing shroom tea can be an effective solution.
Making Magic Mushroom Tea:
Preparation:
- Start with Your Favorite Tea: Place your preferred flavored tea bag in a mug, then pour hot (not boiling) water over it. Starbucks or Tim Hortons tea also works well.
- Stir and Infuse: Stir the tea for 5 minutes, allow it to cool slightly, remove the tea bag, and add flavorings like honey.
- Add Mushrooms: Add whole mushrooms to the warm liquid—boiling water will destroy the psilocybin!
- Final Steps: Stir the mixture for another 5 minutes and drink the tea. Near the end, add more warm water, stir, and consume the remainder. Repeat this step using water or juice to ensure all psilocybin is extracted.
What just happened? The psilocybin will have transferred from the mushrooms into the liquid!
Effects and Consumption: The effects of magic mushroom tea can start within 15-30 minutes. Many users begin feeling effects before finishing the last cup. The mushroom pieces at the bottom of the cup don't need to be consumed, although they can be ingested if finely ground.
Comparing Dosages: Eating Magic Mushrooms vs. Brewing Shroom Tea
Dosage Guidelines: To achieve the same effects with shroom tea as eating mushrooms directly, add 25% more mushrooms to your tea.
Example:
- Eating: Consume 2.0 grams of magic mushrooms.
- Tea: Use 2.5 grams of magic mushrooms to brew the tea.
Shroom tea typically takes effect faster and helps prevent nausea associated with eating magic mushrooms.
Understanding Psilocybin Tolerance
Magic Mushrooms Are Fun, But Consider Timing...
Wait between 7-14 days after using psychedelics or most recreational drugs to ensure an optimal experience.
Most regular users find that spacing mushroom trips every 2-4 weeks provides the best experiences.
The minimum recommended wait time is 7 days between recreational magic mushroom doses.
Pro Tip: Space Out Your Psychedelic Trips
Did you know that most psychedelics share a cross-tolerance?
If you've used LSD or magic mushrooms within the past week, neither will be fully effective until you've taken a 7-10 day break.
For optimal results, it's best to space out your psychedelic trips by at least 7-10 days. This allows your tolerance levels to reset, ensuring each experience remains as impactful as possible.
Factors Affecting Psilocybin Tolerance
Many prescription medications can interfere with the effects of psilocybin—sometimes reducing them entirely or, in rare cases, leading to intense and unpleasant trips. It's essential to consult your doctor or thoroughly research your medications before trying magic mushrooms.
Additionally, most recreational drugs, except for cannabis, can weaken psilocybin's effectiveness. For instance, using MDMA or cocaine the day before taking magic mushrooms can significantly diminish the quality of your psychedelic experience.
Key Points for a Safe and Enjoyable Magic Mushroom Experience
Magic mushrooms provide a safe and non-toxic way to explore altered states of consciousness, with experiences ranging from mild to intense. Our guide covers essential aspects such as dosage, preparation, and the importance of spacing out your trips to ensure each experience is impactful and enjoyable. Whether you're a first-time user or looking to fine-tune your approach, starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it is crucial for a positive experience.
It's important to remember that everyone's tolerance to psilocybin is different, so listening to your body and adjusting your dosage accordingly is key. If you have concerns, especially related to prescription medications or previous drug use, we highly recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before consuming magic mushrooms.
