Amanita Research Forum

<deleted>

I am in the same boat as you, first timer about to find my dose as well.

I recently red a comment in this thread viewtopic.php?f=5&t=813 saying that they started at 1/2 tablespoon and they went up by 1/2 tbsp. increments.

I agree about that 1 teaspoon being a good unit. My experience is that it is not possible to find the dose by take another teaspoon at same event. You take one dose and wait for the full effect, which can take up to 4-5 hours.If it is not to your satisfaction, wait a couple of days to try next level of dose. I find that it is really hard to pinpoint the dose if taking it every day. When I know the strength, I can take when needed, even like twice a day or so. There seems to be a strange mix of slightly getting used to it and accumulation, so I think it takes quite some time with experimentation before you know what works for you.

Is this about macro dosing?

I'm confused about this. In another thread, some guy described starting with a dose, waited maybe 20 mins and then took a larger dose and carried on like that, if I remember correctly (which I don't always do). I believe Amanita Dreamer said this was a good method.

The other day I had approximately 2 teaspoons worth of tea during the course of an evening. I didn't feel a thing then, nor did I feel anything 5 hours later. And I just can't be sure if the problem was the tea or the dose.

I would really like to know how much people take when they want to macro.

Should we micro before we start macro-ing?

I keep seeing the statement: Amanitas are safe but don't overdo it!

When do you "overdo" it?

Having a piece of dried cap a day, is that overdoing it? Should use be limited to once a week or something like it?

Is this microdosing protocol really necessary? I don't exactly know what it is. Is it the way to not "overdo it"? I thought it was for people who want to overcome anxiety and that sort of stuff.

I've watched a bunch of videos that really stress the point that the toxicity in amanitas is way "overstated" and it is such an amazing "medicine". Then I look at this forum and I get the impression that perhaps the potential side effects are actually very understated.

Hi

I’m also new to amanita. I went out gorging yesterday and followed all the instructions in detail and made the tea. I first tried half a teaspoon and nothing happened waiting for one hour and still nothing. Then I took 2 tablespoons and again nothing. Theses were fresh amanita came home dehydrated them at 75c until cracker crisp dry and then made the tea with 250ml I followed all the information and the videos. So I’m a bit confused on dosing to be honest. Need some help folks.
