Six or seven years ago, I used to make copious amounts of psychedelic content and I have to admit that I definitely pushed the narrative of 1/10th to 1/20th of a normal dose as what people should strive for when microdosing. However, I found myself sometimes within that range and yet approaching the very perceptible edges of consciousness. I understood batch variability, but I had not understood (nor did many other psychonauts) that there was such huge variability in the psilocybin and psilocin contained in each species. Sure I knew that Golden Teachers were nowhere as “strong” as Penis Envy specimens, but I couldn’t quite quantify it.

Many thanks to @oakland.hyphae and @churchofambrosia for providing concrete info about dosing and what can be expected when we decide to take short walks or epic journeys. And yes, each batch is still very variable, but at no point will Golden Teachers take me to the moon at 2.22 grams the way these Trinity mushrooms did. In fact, a waaaaay too intense trip on Trinity mushies is what prompted me to finally nail down some measure of specificity to my experiences.

Your weight matters and what you take matters. A quick Google search will produce both of these charts (and they are available on the Church of Ambrosia website).

Happy exploring!
