The study mentions they administered 30 milligrams of psilocybin for 70 kg of body weight. Does anybody know how many grams of dried mushrooms that is equivalent to, roughly?

A good ballpark for dried shrooms is roughly 1% psilocybin by weight of dried shroom, so about 3g. That said, it's going to vary a lot shroom to shroom, genetic to genetics, and species to species. Could be as high as 6g for more mild strains and as low a 1g for something like pan cyans.

That is the problem with clandestine pharmacy by Florida man, as people may get the wrong dose or a mixture of various other poisons like arsenic (see dark web article.)

When ready, please talk with your doctor first. =3

2 to 5 grams dried psilocybe cubensis, per chatgpt.
