>>12237900I think big dose vs. little dose has a thousand variables that nobody can answer but you. I'll sometimes eat .5g-1g and go for a long ride on my road bike, which tends to really send me into deep thoughts on how important it is to be part of nature or to have a healthy body or how to love my loved ones better. I think there's a really special relationship between exercise and happiness and mushrooms help me explore that.
On the high dose side of things, 2.5-4.5g can be fairly uncomfortable. It's extremely apparent that something weird is occurring, but you end up fighting or wrestling with your own psyche and i think this space is actually where you're most susceptible to hurting your psyche by having some strange hallucination that you perceive as truth.
Above 5 grams, the fighting yourself doesn't really work because the effect that you're resisting will take over whether you like it or not. That feeling will very likely convince you that you're about to die, even if you've done it before. You'll start making peace in your mind with loved ones, apologize to whatever you think god is for all the wrong you've done in life, etc. After that is when people say they feel like they have religious experiences or some ultimate connection to all things.
99% of this is going to be determined by your state of mind and what you believe about the world. There is literally no detail about you that is too small to be accounted into the 5g+ experience.
I sincerely believe that all people should at some point in their life have at least 1 heroic dose, but fair warning: it will very probably allow you to adjust smaller things like depression, anxiety, and addiction, but after all of this, you're going to be left with an experience that people will heavily judge you for. If you do end up with a threshold religious experience, nobody except other psychonauts are going to take you seriously, and that situation can be fairly damaging to your character in itself
