You’ll be tripping balls on that amount. 5g is close to a heroic dose.

EDIT: Never mind, didn't see that it was cubensis - which might take more due to being weaker than regular wild semilanceata.

I've been doing some recent research and testing, and here's what I have found: I'm talking about the "Penis Envy" strain, which is quoted as being ~30% more potent than typical. 2g is the edge of where I start getting visual artifacting, and only sometimes. 3g, which I have not tried, was quoted as being towards the upper end of a "theraputic dose", and 6g as the upper end of a recreational dose. Some friends with much more experience consider 1g to be microdosing, FWIW. 0.25g I can't feel at all. .5g I start to feel some euphoria and 1g to 1.5g I start to feel "high" but with no noticeable psychedelics or just minor visual artifacting when I'm reading.

I don't really have anxiety or depression. I do have a fairly high stress family life, wife and kiddos have lots of issues. A few weeks ago I had 2g on an empty stomach on a Sunday and I just listened to music for ~4 hours and it was like I had a vacation. I hadn't enjoyed listening to music so much for 20-30 years. Also, I seem to feel kind of sleepy when I'm trippy, but afterwards I'm wide awake for 4-5 hours. So evening dosing is best avoided.

It's kind of great, for me personally, living in a state where it has been decriminalized.
