Dose size

The effects of psilocybin can vary widely depending on individual factors such as body weight, metabolism, and tolerance, as well as external factors such as the setting and mindset of the individual. Additionally, the effects of psilocybin can be influenced by the particular strain of mushroom and the method of ingestion.

That being said, here is a general description of the effects of psilocybin at different dose levels:

  • 0.5g: - Individuals may experience mild to moderate physical sensations, such as tingling or a warm feeling in the body, as well as mild changes in mood and perception. Colors may appear slightly more vibrant, and music may sound more interesting. Some individuals may also experience a mild sense of euphoria or relaxation.

  • 1g: - The effects of psilocybin become more pronounced. Individuals may experience more intense physical sensations, such as a feeling of weightlessness or a sense of being disconnected from the body. Colors and patterns may appear more vivid and complex, and music may be more immersive. Some individuals may also experience changes in thought and emotion, such as a sense of introspection or a feeling of being more open-minded.

  • 2g: - The effects of psilocybin become more intense. Individuals may experience strong visual and auditory hallucinations, such as seeing geometric patterns or hearing voices. They may also experience more intense physical sensations, such as a feeling of melting into the surroundings or a sense of being in a different dimension. Some individuals may also experience a range of emotions, from euphoria and bliss to anxiety and paranoia.

  • 3g: - The effects of psilocybin become even more intense. Individuals may experience very strong visual and auditory hallucinations, which can be overwhelming or confusing. They may also experience a profound sense of interconnectedness with their surroundings or a sense of ego dissolution. Emotions may be intense and unpredictable, and some individuals may experience feelings of terror or fear.

  • 5g: - The effects of psilocybin can be extremely intense and overwhelming. Individuals may experience complete ego dissolution, loss of sense of self, and a feeling of unity with the universe. Visual and auditory hallucinations may be intense and difficult to distinguish from reality. Emotions may be intense and unpredictable, and some individuals may experience a sense of terror or fear.

Higher doses of psilocybin can increase the risk of adverse effects, such as panic attacks, psychosis, or long-lasting psychological effects.

Regardless of the dose used, psilocybin should only be used under the guidance of a trained healthcare professional in a safe and controlled environment.
