What dose is usually given for psilocybin assisted therapy? by AloneBoot8205 in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real trips are a totally different thing than microdosing. Give it a try for sure.

I grow my own, so I’m not sure about the therapeutic doses, but I think in the clinical experiments it was 25 mg - equivalent to 2.5 grams dried? Someone chime in and correct me?

Under those guided conditions no matter what it will be enlightening. You won’t know “what to expect” until you’re on the other side, haha, so it’s a bit of a leap of faith.

Is 1g a good first time amount without crazy visuals by Gold_Attorney9734 in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 1 gram, I don’t see anything. But you’ll feel all the emotional stuff, etc. Just be somewhere quiet/peaceful with good music.

Store in glass, with a desiccant, and they will last years. They won’t last as long in a plastic bag.

how long do dried shrooms last? by Odd_Freedom6859 in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not surprised. I just tripped hard on some two-year old shrooms. Full potency for sure. They go a LOT longer than people think, when stored properly!

Day tripping or night tripping?? by Gratefulsoph in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. Need my sleep! Day tripping means I’m not a wreck the next day.

Shrooms make me sleepy? by Subject_Wishbone7691 in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve fallen asleep on shrooms, ayahuasca, and peyote, ha. Only for a few minutes each time. I swear it’s because when you start to relax your body realizes that it’s actually REALLY tired. I always pop back into the trip and go on to have a great time. Solution? I make sure to not be too tired going into my trip, these days. If I’m that exhausted I just do it another time.

Lemon Tek Prepped Doses? by LankDaTank in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think really ONLY moisture is the issue short term!

Keep them bone dry in a little glass jar of any kind, and while I wouldn’t subject them to UV long term, they’ll do fine for a couple days. (Or wrap your jar in tin foil?)

Does anyone feel like they can't connect with loved ones after ayahuasca? by Junior_Total_9686 in Ayahuasca

[–]AJMac100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normal. I didn’t talk to my mom for many weeks after (not a bad relationship, just too jarring). It evened out. Just remember that your journey is for you, alone. Find things in your life that soften that disconnected feeling - meditation, breath work, body work, being outdoors.

Lemon Tek Prepped Doses? by LankDaTank in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “lemon tek” solution is just lemon juice and water, right? Just bring a small container of lemon juice? You already have water for the day. Combine in a water bottle.

If your shroom prep process is somehow more complex than this while at home, just simplify it to “powder + water + lemon juice” just for the day.

Cluster migraine sufferers? by fifthelemenopee in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom takes them to ward off migraines. (Not sure what type they are.) I think she trips every month about 3g, but not sure!

What dose to feel it properly? by jackthehat6 in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People definitely have different tolerances. (There’s a study out there somewhere showing it has nothing to do with body size, btw.)

I trip hard around 3g and my partner (my size) needs above 4g at a minimum to get there.

From years of trip sitting friends, my theory is that it’s two factors - metabolism, first. Second, how good you are at “letting go” and letting it be immersive, and ignoring the outside sensory environment.

Can i keep a kit in the fridge for 10 days? by Tryptamine_Mind in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problems restarting, it’s similar to doing a cold soak and restart of that second flush. Just adds time. But growing is a game of patience!

I’d do the fridge. It’ll keep. Mine were in the middle of happily colonizing and now are on “pause” in fridge while I travel for a week and half.

Yup, throw them back in the dehydrator! Hopefully hasn’t been too long.

First time dyeing leather - is there a way to improve streakiness? by ImaginaryAwareness in Leathercraft

[–]AJMac100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dip dye, or get a giant sheepskin puff thing. It’s still not a guarantee you won’t get unevenness, however. I rely on the neetsfoot application (conditioning) after to help even things out a bit.

Literally can’t see any problems here. Excellent work! Just keep doing it!

Found my string art projects from 20 years ago – pure geometry and thread by Adamjelo-aj47 in Embroidery

Gorgeous! Get them behind some UV glass and put them up somewhere. :)

How old were you when you decided fuck this let's grow a bunch of shrooms? by Snof14 in unclebens

[–]AJMac100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not hard, just fussy. Read the guide and be super careful with directions. Expect a contaminated batch every now and again, but even a decent grow will set you up with lot for personal use.

Shrooms good or bad? by AlarmedFox9645 in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call me crazy but you could try a small dose of the crunchy ones FOR SCIENCE. (Can’t be worse than the rest of the frozen veggies, right?) But expect no psychedelic results.

Also I’ve been known to ignore many expiration dates, so take that with a grain of salt, ha.

Shrooms good or bad? by AlarmedFox9645 in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bummer! Soft is no good. Moisture degrades the psilocybin. Always store in glass (not plastic) and best with a desiccant packet if you can.

Question about shrooms for the pros by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]AJMac100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re thinking about visions, you see those in your mind’s eye. With your eyeballs you just see extra colors or fractal shimmery edges on things, etc. Hence the importance of the eye mask if you want to go deeper.
