I haver never done "shrooms" before , and was wondering if anyone could tell me ( from first hand experience ) what would be a safe dose to take if I just wanted mild threshold effects?
The kind of situation where I could still socialise and go about my business so to speak.

I received some from Holland( still legal there)They are vacuom packed "mexicana truffles" (or something along those lines) in 15gram doses . I don't really know why I'm so wary about these, maybe just that the effects go on for some time, they also look a bit sinister!

Thanks for any advice

I haven't tried the truffles yet (But curious about them and hope to), But if you want a mild experience maybe try something like half the recomended dose on the package? Definitely don't go by dosage advice for other types of mushrooms.

Hi arcanum,

if you want to try truffles, and want mild threshold effects, I would try 6-7 grams if you are medium weight. Just to see what happens and how they work with you. If after an hour or so you are not where you want to be, you can always have some more to push up the effects. My first time I had 10 grams and I went through a level 3 trip.

Thanks Crazy Horse and Vodsel, yes I was thinking along the lines of half of the pack, I'll share with a good friend, who recently took a mega hit of spice and handled it like a veteran ( she's a novice) then on coming out asked the most pertinent question relating to the DMT space, "Where does that come from?"

Half a pack would be enough, just eat them on a empty stomach in a safe and calm environment. The "Mexicanas" aren't that potent, so you have nothing to worry about. I tried the "Hollandia" strain together with a friend and I experienced mild effects. It was my friend's first time trying any psychedelic substance and he was anxious and worried he would have a bad trip, but he actually enjoyed it a lot!

I don't want to hijack homey's thread, but since a couple of folks who have tried these are already chiming in, I've got a question...

How would you say the truffles at regular/higher doses compare to cubensis in terms of "muddiness", confusion, mindf**k, etc? Are Tampanensis pretty similar, or more like the "cleaner" types of shrooms like Pan Cyan, P. mexicana, or Azurescens?

The amount is far less relevant than the setting and your mind set. As long as you're doing them in a good place and time, you'll be fine. More than fine, great actually! It's not impossible to have a bad time in these circumstances, but it can be almost impossible. I just had a trip with my friend. It was his first time and he had a freakin blast.

I am also curious about the truffles. I'm interested in growing them, as you can just leave the jars for a few months and BAM! Truffles. I think I've heard good things about mexicanas, but they aren't one I've been able to try.

I have not tried many different types of mushrooms (mostly P. Cubensis strains) so I cannot tell you from personal experience, but since sclerotia are not different species of mushrooms (they are mycelial formations of species that have active fruits as well) I think any differences might be found between species, but not because it is sclerotia.

Which is to say, truffles will have overall similar effects to the fruits of the same species. My little experience agrees with this.
