Mushrooms

At 2-3gms you are standing on the shore of an ocean, maybe up to your knees.

At 4gms you are or up to your waist or your neck. At around 4gms (potency and body weight may vary), the richness and complexity of the inner starts to equalize that of the external world.

Around 5gms (depending on the breed, as well as your experience & disposition) a threshold is passed. At that that point the inner experiences overwhelm and begin to wash away the external world. In other words, your head becomes fully submersed and you enter into the Ocean of Being, Potential & Becoming.

And the Ocean is vaster and deeper than you can imagine! There are many species of creatures down there, different ecologies and ancient civilizations in the deep. Some will eat you or tear you apart, others will watch you curiously, others will nurture you and help you on your journey through the road of trials, difficult and chaotic as it seems. And there is treasure down there and you will be transformed before you pass the final threshold and are able to return. Maybe that is why Terence called it The Heroic Dose.. because at that depth and intensity, the Hero's Journey begins. Do you dare take the plunge or stay at home in your comfortable hobbit hole?

Low Dosage

Moderate Dosage

High Dosage

Level 1

This level produces a mild "stoning" effect, with some visual enhancement (i.e. brighter colours, etc). Some short term memory anomalies. Left/right brain communication changes causing music to sound "wider".

Level 2

Bright colors, and visuals (i.e. things start to move and breathe), some 2 dimensional patterns become apparent upon shutting eyes. Confused or reminiscent thoughts. Change of short term memory leads to continual distractive thought patterns. Vast increase in creativity becomes apparent as the natural brain filter is bypassed.

Level 3

Very obvious visuals, everything looking curved and/or warped patterns and kaleidoscopes seen on walls, faces etc. Some mild hallucinations such as rivers flowing in wood grained or "mother of pearl" surfaces. Closed eye hallucinations become 3 dimensional. There is some confusion of the senses (i.e. seeing sounds as colors, etcetera). Time distortions and "moments of eternity".

Level 4

Strong hallucinations, i.e. objects morphing into other objects. Destruction or multiple splitting of the ego. (Things start talking toyou, or you find that you are feeling contradictory things simultaneously). Some loss of reality. Time becomes meaningless. Out ofbody experiences and e.s.p. type phenomena. Blending of the senses.

Level 5

Total loss of visual connection with reality. The senses cease to function in the normal way. Total loss of ego. Merging with space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality becomes so severe that it defies explanation. The earlier levels are relatively easy to explain in terms of measureable changes in perception and thought patterns. This level is different in that the actual universe within which things are normally perceived, ceases to exist! Satorienlightenment (and other such labels).

The 5 magic Mushrooms Trip Levels

Level 0: Microdosing

Recommended dosage: 0.2 - 0.5 g. dried mushrooms

A micro-dose is a sub-perceptual amount of mushrooms. Take this every 2-3 days to boost creativity or feel less anxious.

Added as level 0, it's meant to be taken along with your day-to-day routine.

If you do find yourself tripping on an intended micro-dose, well... it's not micro-dosing anymore. It would be sensible to take less next time, because you might have entered Trip Level 1!

Trip Level 1

Recommended dosage: 0.8 - 1 g. dried mushrooms

Known as a basic level, excellent to get familiar with the substance.

The effects are mild and similar to being high on weed. Music starts to feel better, strangers seem more friendly and the mind is able to lose some control. You could have mild visual enhancements or some sound distortion, but these will be subtle.

Trip level 1, the perfect trip if want to go to a party, festival or a fun night with some friends.

Trip Level 2

Recommended dosage to reach this level: 1 - 1.5 g. dried mushrooms

Consistent sensorial accentuation, colors becoming brighter and a light body high.

Level 2 can be a more intense form of Trip Level 1, but with the right dosage it can be something more.

Be prepared for the beginnings of visual and auditory hallucinations: objects moving and coming to life along with geometrical forms when you close your eyes. It will be harder to concentrate and communicate and you will notice an increase in creativity along with an enhanced sensation, lightness and euphoria.

Trip Level 3

Recommended dosage: 1.5 - 2.5 g. dried mushrooms

Trip Level 3 is great for beginners who want to jump in the "real" psychedelic experience, without overdoing the dosage.

This level is where visual hallucinations along with the appearance of patterns and fractals will be evident. No more hinting or subtle flashes of visuals, it's happening for real. The surface of the object you're observing will become shiny and moving, as your field of depth is altered. Distortions in the aptitude to measure the passage of time, might cause an 1 hour to feel like an eternity.

Try this level, especially for the first time, with close friends in a safe environment. You'll create some fun memories!

Level 4

Recommended dosage: 2.5 - 3.5 g. dried mushrooms

Tried Trip Level 3 a few times? Interested in a bit more spice? Up the dosage to reach Trip Level 4!

Strong hallucinations take over: a psychedelic flood of shapes, contours and colors will blend together and hit the shores of your consciousness. There's no stopping the waves in Level 4.

There will be some moments when you will lose touch reality. Random, non-existent objects will appear and the concept of time will fade away to the background. Intriguing to some, scary to others, this is the level where psychedelics can really be powerful, life-altering and mind expanding. Keep in mind that this dosage is only recommend for experience users.

Level 5

Dosage: Anywhere from 3.5 - 5 g. dried mushrooms

Total loss of contact with reality. Intense hallucinations. Great distortion of the perception of the space and time. Disappearance of the logical and known perception of the reality. Great introspection and loss of identity. Sensitive, emotional and personal experiences impossible to describe, once the psychedelic experience ends. Level 5!
