with Psilocybin Mushrooms
Dosing Guidelines
For both LSD and Magic Mushrooms.
Episodic sufferers typically require one or two doses that are
much smaller than what is normally considered a recreational dose, twice a
year.
Chronic sufferers generally initially require one or two doses
slightly larger than as per episodic sufferers.
Complete relief should be experienced with 15 minutes - 2 hours of ingestion.
Guidelines as to what constitutes a recreational dose of a particular mushrooms species can be found at the following sites:
Please check out the section on dosing guidelines located on our FAQ in section 5
Be wary of the difference between fresh and dried mushrooms.
Fresh mushrooms have many times the weight of dried mushrooms because of the
additional water contained in fresh mushrooms. This makes dried mushrooms
considerably more potent per gram. Since dried mushrooms are more concentrated
than fresh, 1g of dried mushrooms is much more potent than 1g of fresh. Do
not confuse fresh mushroom dosing guidelines with those of dried mushrooms.
Timing in respect of the Episodic Cycle
The treatment is at its most effective at the beginning of an episode. It may also be taken outside of a cycle to avoid it (although this raises doubt about whether the episode would have occurred anyway). An episodic may need to approach the chronic dose if taken at peak cycle.
For Chronic Sufferers
First thing first.
You need to bust the cycle, so follow the
dosing recommendations above then start using the mushrooms as a preventive
measure.
Preventatively, once a cycle has been broken, or if between
cycles, it is recommended to repeat the treatment no longer than every 6 months
to keep the cycles away. If there is *any* signs of the cycle returning, a
preventive dose should be taken.
Do not wait until the cycle has
gained a new foothold.
Never wash mushrooms. Pour 1 mug of water into a saucepan. Bring the water to the boil, and then remove from the heat. Add the mushrooms. Place a tight fitting lid on the saucepan and steep for 20 minutes. You may want to filter the brew through cheesecloth or a strainer before you drink it.
Ingesting Drink the water slowly, over at least a 10 minute period. Take up to 30 minutes if required. An empty stomach will provide faster relief. The only negative experience may be a feeling of apprehension. Side effects for episodic sufferers will be limited to dilated pupils, a slight buzz and occasional giggling. Chronic sufferers may also experience extremely mild time distortion and psychedelic effects.
