Title: Question about LSD/shrooms dose
Post by: slade17 on June 14, 2013, 12:15 am
I've always wondered, what stops a person from taking like half a tab, waiting an hour, then taking more to get where they want to be? Same with shrooms (but actually easier due to the come up being quicker). Take a couple grams, see where you are, then take more if you want.

It seems like people are always like, "I took 3 hits of acid because I didn't know the potency and had a bad trip." Well why not just take gradual doses instead? I've read stories of people taking 1 hit and being so far gone that they never trip again, and then I've read stories where they had to take 5 tabs and an eighth of shrooms to get to the same place, so it seems safer to do it this way.

Is there something I'm missing? I get that it can sort of be a pain in the ass, but to me that's totally worth it if I can avoid ruining psychedelics for me forever.

a lot of psychedelics dont kick in like the traditional drugs such as cocaine or weed where you can sniff a bump, wait 2 minutes then do another one and get even higher or sniff a bump, wait for it wear off and then do another one and get equally as high as the first one
you cant really "re-up" on acid or shrooms well. they dont have the desired effects
same is true for dosing multiple days in a row. your not going to get the same effect.
i do agree with you about starting small and working your way up. smart thing to do. but what i do is take 1/2 a dose for example and then ride it out, wait a month and then next time increase my dose accordingly
i cant speak for others but this is why i dont re-dose on lsd or shrooms. that being said, i have done it in the past and i find it works better with shrooms. i have spent nights just munching on a big bag of mushrooms like it was bag of chips but it gets progressively more wasteful as the night goes on

Once you ingest tryptamines your body immediately starts to build a tolerance as it is metabolizing it. For me, 3 days and all tolerance seems to have cleared.  So if you start with say a half tab, then when you re-dose you have to take at least double the first dose.  Although for most people this doesn't work, including myself. Its either all at once or not at all...my advice, for newbies is start slow. I cannot imagine anything worse than having my first psychedelic be too intense.  Get used to the feelings and effects, then go for broke!

As is said here, your body will build a tolerance immediately. Redosing later usually leads to an extended trip rather than higher intensity.
