    3 or 3.5 grams dried is what I think the initial dose should be. Just enough to start deep thinking and maybe get out of hey that tree has a face! Mode.

      That’s a pretty strong first dose for most people, I’d test with something more reserved first

        The reason I recommend eating an eighth the first time is so they really understand what mushrooms are all about. Notice I also recommended safe space, trusted people, etc. Hopefully at least one psychonaut. I’m not against trip sitters, I just think they change the vibe and can impede personal growth despite best intentions.

        But back to the dose. A lower dose can just feel like a really fun high with body effects. Maybe mild hallucinations. If that’s all someone is after then great! I hope they have fun.

        But 3 or 3.5g will introduce people to the deeper aspects of psilocybin. If someone is really scared or something maybe start out lower but they would be missing half of the experience.
