Beginner Magic Mushroom Tips

Beginner Magic Mushroom Tips - Toronto Mushies

Our guide provides everything you need to know about safely consuming magic mushrooms. But before we dive in, here are our top 5 essential tips.

Top 5 Must-Know Tips for Magic Mushroom Beginners

TIP #1:

Purchase enough mushrooms to fully enjoy your experience, but always start with a low dose. Some people have a high tolerance for psilocybin, while others are more sensitive. It's wise to begin with a small amount and gradually increase after 60-90 minutes.


TIP #2:

On the other hand, it's important not to buy too little for your first magic mushroom journey. It's better to have too much, rather than too little, as you haven't yet discovered your tolerance.


TIP #3:

While individual experiences vary, 1-2 grams typically provides a mild experience, while 2-3 grams offers a standard recreational experience. 


TIP #4 and #5:

Always trip with a friend, and avoid mixing with prescription medications.

Magic Mushrooms & Prescription Pharmaceuticals

Caution: Magic Mushrooms and Prescription Pharmaceuticals Don't Mix well!

If you are taking prescription pharmaceuticals for mental health issues, the use of magic mushrooms could lead to varied outcomes.


The experience may become frightening & unsettling (very rare), or will result in no noticeable effect (more common).

Recommended Dosage Guidelines for Magic Mushrooms

1) Use Our Magic Mushroom Dosage Calculator

If you are new to magic mushrooms, use our dosage calculator courtesy of Reality Sandwich to find the right starting amount.


Remember, it's best to begin with a lower dose. You can always take a bit more after 60-90 minutes if needed.

Recommended Dosage Guidelines for Magic Mushrooms - Toronto Mushies

2) John Hopkins University Recommended Dosages for Magic Mushrooms

A 2011 study by Johns Hopkins University identified the 'ideal' dosages for first-time magic mushroom users to have a good experience, based on body weight:


2 grams per 150 pound person (70kg) is the "ideal" dose for a 1st-time user to experience a magic mushrooms trip.


Adjust your dosage accordingly if you weigh more or less:

  • 150-pound person (70 kg): 2 grams
  • 200-pound person (90 kg): 2.5 grams
  • 250-pound person (112 kg): 3.25 grams

3) Toronto Mushies First-Time Dosage Guidelines for Magic Mushrooms

If it's your first time using magic mushrooms and you're unsure how you'll react, consider using our cautious approach:


Start Small: Consume half of the bag of full-dose shroom capsules, or half of a 3.5g bag.


Wait and Observe: Wait for 45-90 minutes to gauge how you feel. After about 90 minutes, you should begin to fully experience the effects.


Evaluate Your Experience: Depending on your reaction, you might not feel much or you could find yourself laughing and hallucinating from the initial dose.


Decide Whether to Continue: If you're comfortable, you can choose to stop there or take more.

Individual tolerance to magic mushrooms can vary significantly. Some people may have a high tolerance, while others are more sensitive.


If it’s your first time, it’s wise to start with a lower dosage but have enough on hand in case you decide to increase your dose.


Being prepared allows you to safely adjust according to your personal response.

How To Consume Magic Mushrooms

Eating Magic Mushrooms:

Consuming magic mushrooms on an empty stomach typically results in the most potent effects. However, preferences vary, and some people may choose to eat them with food. We generally recommend trying them on an empty stomach based on our experience.


When to Expect Effects: Effects usually emerge 45-90 minutes after ingestion. If you don’t feel anything after 90 minutes, you may consider consuming more. First-timers should consult the 'Magic Mushrooms Dosage Calculator' above to determine a safe starting dose.


Dealing with Nausea: Ingestion of magic mushrooms can cause nausea for some users. If you experience this, our shroom capsules might be a better option. They contain ground-up mushrooms for easier digestion, and most users report no nausea. If nausea persists, another effective alternative is to prepare shroom tea.

Making Magic Mushroom Tea:

Preparation:

  1. Start with Your Favorite Tea: Place your favorite flavored tea bag in a mug and pour hot (not boiling) water over it. Using a tea from Starbucks or Tim Hortons also works well.
  2. Stir and Infuse: Stir the tea for 5 minutes, then allow it to cool slightly. Remove the tea bag and add any desired flavorings, such as honey.
  3. Add Mushrooms: Add whole mushrooms to the warm liquid. Boiling water will destroy the psilocybin!
  4. Final Steps: Stir the mixture for another 5 minutes and drink the tea. Near the end, add more warm water, stir, and consume the remainder. Repeat this step once more, using water or juice, to ensure all psilocybin is extracted.


What just happened?

  • The psilocybin will have transferred from the mushrooms into the liquid!


Effects and Consumption:

  • The effects of magic mushroom tea can start within 15-30 minutes. Many users begin to feel the effects before finishing the last cup. There's no need to consume the mushroom pieces at the bottom of the cup, although they may be ingested if finely ground.

Comparing Dosages: Eating Magic Mushrooms vs. Brewing Shroom Tea

Dosage Guidelines: To achieve the same effects with shroom tea as you would from eating magic mushrooms directly, add 25% more mushrooms to your tea.


Example:

  • Eating: Consume 2.0 grams of magic mushrooms.
  • Tea: Use 2.5 grams of magic mushrooms to brew the tea.


Shroom tea not only takes effect faster but also typically helps prevent nausea associated with eating magic mushrooms.

Understanding Psilocybin Tolerance

Understanding Psilocybin Tolerance - Toronto Mushies

Magic Mushrooms Are Fun, But Consider Timing...

You must wait between 7-14 days after using psychedelics and most recreational drugs to ensure an optimal experience.


Most regular users find that spacing mushroom trips every 2-4 weeks allows for the best experiences.


The minimum recommended wait time is 7 days between recreational magic mushroom doses.

Pro Tip: Space Out Your Psychedelic Trips

Did you know there is a cross-tolerance between most psychedelics?


If you've taken LSD or magic mushrooms in the past week, neither will be effective until after a 7-10 day break.


For the best results, space your psychedelic trips by at least 7-10 days. This spacing helps to reset your tolerance levels and ensures each experience is as impactful as possible. 

Factors Affecting Psilocybin Tolerance

Many prescription medications can interfere with the effects of psilocybin—sometimes nullifying them completely or, more rarely, causing intense, unpleasant trips. Always consult your doctor or conduct a thorough Google search on your medication before trying magic mushrooms.


Additionally, most recreational drugs, with the exception of cannabis, can diminish the effectiveness of psilocybin. For example, using MDMA or cocaine the day before taking magic mushrooms can significantly degrade the quality of your psychedelic experience.

Key Takeaways for a Safe and Enjoyable Magic Mushroom Experience

In summary, magic mushrooms offer a safe and non-toxic way to explore altered states of consciousness, with experiences ranging from mild to intense. Our guide provides essential information on dosage, preparation, and the importance of spacing out your trips to ensure each experience is impactful and enjoyable. Whether you're a first-time user or someone looking to refine your approach, starting with a low dose and gradually increasing is key to a positive experience.


Remember, everyone's tolerance to psilocybin varies, so it's important to listen to your body and adjust your dosage accordingly. If you have any concerns, particularly regarding prescription medications or previous drug use, we strongly recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before consuming magic mushrooms.


If you have any questions or need further guidance, don't hesitate to reach out to us via text, WhatsApp, or our chat feature. We're here to help you have a safe and enjoyable journey with magic mushrooms.
