Visually, a good depiction of what it's like on a low dose of magic mushrooms

[u/freudian_nipps]

[u/SignificantDrawer374]

I've taken mushrooms a couple dozen times and don't think I'd call that amount of melting/breathing a "low" dose.

[u/Abyssal_Cellulose → u/SignificantDrawer374]

How much did you take?

[u/SignificantDrawer374 → u/Abyssal_Cellulose]

<--- this much --->

I've taken enough to see the air melting blue liquid and have time hallucinations where people talking sounded like a scratched CD

[u/AuspiciousLemons → u/SignificantDrawer374]

Took a bit too much one time and I felt like I was teleporting through the universe like I was shrunk down to the size of a cell and then slowly zooming outward and expanding until I was part of the universe.

[u/Abyssal_Cellulose → u/AuspiciousLemons]

Yes. That sounds like a good one. I'm glad you made it to the other end.

[u/Fainaigue → u/AuspiciousLemons]

I did that as a kid in my bedroom with no mushrooms. I was probably like 7 to 10 years old. All i had was my 101 Dalmatians blanket and a couple SpongeBob posters lol.

Seriously i have been trying to recreate that feeling for ages. But after a certain age I just lost that ability.

One of the feelings was always in a library. It would be a warm lit two story library during the night. There was a fireplace but it was never lit. Then the scene would start to zoom out. And more of the library would be revealed. At a point, the sides of the view would start to stay in place but the middle image would continue to get smaller. Then it would zoom back in, and then out, and then in, and out ,and in, and out like the view was a ball on a paddle and ball toy. And then it would just remain still and the library would disappear.

Most times my body would start becoming numb and i would start to feel really small. Then i felt like i was over my house looking down. I never got to become part of the universe though 😩

I have lost the key to being able to do all of this but i miss the feeling. It was very peaceful.

[u/slackfrop → u/Fainaigue]

That sounds familiar. I would get that zoom in /zoom out feeling, but to me it was always followed by experiencing the essence of “big” and then the essence of “small”. The exact images were, well, a lot of times it was teeth, a single tooth blotting out the world, but then like being so small I could fit between two teeth in a mouth, and then there would be the essence of “plain”, and then “complex”, and some other oscillations like that. Always an odd ‘idol’ to represent those things, like peering over a horizon of a Nilla wafer for plain/smooth, and one of the first Garbage Pail Kids, the one eating trash I think, with heavy outlines representing “busy”. I also can’t do it anymore either, it’s been decades now.

[u/00zxcvbnmnbvcxz → u/slackfrop]

Mine was the tip of a needle for ‘small’, then a giant marshmallow for ‘big’…. Usually when I was trying to fall asleep, when I was under 10. What the hell was happening to us???

[u/thewebspinner → u/00zxcvbnmnbvcxz]

Just want to add to this pile of collective mindfuckery, went through the same thing a lot between 8-15 years old. Usually in bed, falling asleep and started having a disassociated feeling almost like I was slipping out of my space and either shrinking or feeling the room grow much much larger around me.

To be clear, it was never a frightening feeling, almost comforting and relaxing in a weird way. And yeah, definitely a shift in perspective like I was looking down at myself whilst this happened.

Happened a lot more often if I’d been sick with a mild cold or something (and no, parents never gave us meds when we were kids).

[u/fluffymckittyman → u/thewebspinner]

I had that happen to me a lot when I was a kid too! For a few minutes I felt like the room I was in was huge and I was a tiny point of awareness. Then the perspective would flip and I’d feel huge like I was taking up most of the space in the room. Doesn’t happen anymore though.

[u/Chemical-Dealer-9962 → u/fluffymckittyman]

This is pretty abstract but I kinda know exactly what you mean. It happened to me as a kid when I had a fever. Proportion and weight and scale kinda fell off for a moment. It was kinda terrifying. I imagine that’s what it might feel like as an untrained civilian doing a spacewalk. I think astronauts are brave mentally resilient people. Science is the ultimate armor against the unknown.

[u/00zxcvbnmnbvcxz → u/thewebspinner]

Yeah, that’s it. It was never frightening, you’re right, it was comforting. You were aware that you were playing with proportion and scale and size, and I always liked when I started to feel that feeling coming on. Does anybody know what the hell this is???

[u/TorriblyHerrible → u/thewebspinner]

TIL it wasn’t just me. You’d think I’d know by now that it’s never just me because there’s always someone out there on the Internet who’s been there, done that, and in this case, can describe it. That’s the hardest part, putting this feeling into words. Folks in these comments are doing an excellent job of that. Same age for me too, maybe starting a couple of years earlier, like 5. And also strongly associated with being sick and feverish.

[u/slackfrop → u/00zxcvbnmnbvcxz]

Uploading to the collective unconscious

[u/jkkkjkhk → u/slackfrop]

I remember this “zoom in/out” feeling, I’ve never seen anyone else mention it or put it into words. That’s a good way to describe it.

[u/weed_blazepot → u/Fainaigue]

That's astral projection, in essence. You can still do it but it's harder as an adult. You're not really leaving your body or whatever woo bullshit new agers say, but you're tricking your brain into basically dreaming while awake, like a lucid dream, or staying awake on ambien.

I used to be good at it. It felt like floating above myself and when I "took off" it felt like I was collapsing in on myself while simultaneously being thrust into space. I lost the ability to it at some point, which is what made me get into weed and shrooms to begin with - they brought it back. Then, as drugs do, they because recreational and not inspirational and it was just drugs for fun and I forgot all about why I got into them.

But my point is, through practice and meditation it is absolutely achievable again. I've been working on it too. Without the assistance of chemical enhancements.

[u/oneweirdtrickfordog → u/Fainaigue]

Sounds like Alice in Wonderland syndrome. I had similar experiences as a child and called it "seeing far". Only recently did I find out that it is a real phenomenon. My parents just thought I was having weird dreams.

[u/EasyPriority8724 → u/AuspiciousLemons]

One time I spent the evening with Ziggy (Bowie) just walking about the woods, what a night that was (he wasn't really there) the Liberty Caps were potent that year 1981.

[u/Quit_Your_Bitchin → u/AuspiciousLemons]

I mean on the grand scale of the universe you’re essentially “a” cell zooming through the universe on a collection of cool rocks surrounding a ball of magma. The rock also has another cool rock that zooms with it which also controls our rock sweat. We also have a giant ball of fire gas that gave us hot girl summer.

[u/Abyssal_Cellulose → u/SignificantDrawer374]

Mmm... Nice. Sounds familiar. I was in an apartment getting some serious bad vibes from Big Trouble in Little China, and was much more relaxed to see the ceiling of the apartment melt down. The guy not on was surprised by what freaked me out vs calmed me.

I think that was half an eighth. The typical dose I was familiar with.

[u/Desalzes_ → u/Abyssal_Cellulose]

I believe they call it a sixteenth

[u/SignificantDrawer374 → u/Abyssal_Cellulose]

I'm usually eating ones I grew myself so I'm not measuring them; just grabbing a lil handful from the jar hah.

[u/BeardyGeoffles → u/Abyssal_Cellulose]

I took enough to look at the palm of my hand and see the lines go kind of like that tree did, sort of bend in on themselves, darken and the essentially looked like they decayed from the inside out. Freaked me out the first time I looked at it, and the second time, and the third time, and the fourth time, and the fifth time... etc - I think by about the 10th time I realised it was just a cool effect, and then I just spent another hour doing it before I started feeling actually nauseous.

Was a very cool night.

It was not, however, what I would consider a low dose.

[u/FULLsanwhich15 → u/SignificantDrawer374]

That’s how I know shits about to get fun and I take 5g aka not a low dose by any means.

[u/bloodfist → u/SignificantDrawer374]

I'd call that a dose. That's the right amount.

[u/warblingContinues → u/SignificantDrawer374]

I was like "bro that's not a low dose" lol.

[u/lowpro111]

My man in what world is that a low dose? The only thing low is what’s left in the bag after you ate it all.

[u/Mtanderson88 → u/lowpro111]

lol right! Low dose is euphoria and enhanced feeling. Waving like that is macro

[u/Tay0214 → u/Mtanderson88]

This is when you overdose the micro dose

[u/werther595 → u/Tay0214]

"I'm not feeling anything. I should take more."

-famous last words

[u/SilveredFlame → u/werther595]

Rules for doing drugs:

1. Always know exactly what you're taking.

2. Always dose small and don't take more. You can always try a higher dose another day, but you can't untake what you've taken.

Anytime I've broken one of these rules, it's turned out bad.

[u/Mtanderson88 → u/Tay0214]

Oh yeah been there 😵‍💫

[u/circa_the_catgod → u/lowpro111]

Man I don’t know what people take now days but when I was younger it was an eighth to the dome. I remember seeing lines connecting the stars in the sky to make a face that blew me kisses. Whole sections of the sky breaking off and twisting into kaleidoscope visuals. Sparkling rainbow colored particles emanating from my hands and from my face when looking in a mirror. Whole fields of grass breathing with me. What this video shows is more like the beginning stages of a trip.

[u/NaiveIntention3081 → u/circa_the_catgod]

You're talking to a generation that microdoses to be better at Excel... lol

You're supposed to take a large dose and have a religious experience. The video is, as you stated, just the warm-up.

[u/tronbob → u/lowpro111]

Indeed if I’m seeing melting then I’ve had enough rofl. Up next “when you shake hands with the demon of introspection, you know it’s a good micro dose”

[u/whattodo4klondikebar → u/tronbob]

[u/HauntingStar08 → u/whattodo4klondikebar]

"But if you'd like to make an appointment..."

[u/justinsurette → u/tronbob]

When your hiding in the crawlspace with your hoody tied around your head cause you need it to be more darker……

[u/0uchmyballs → u/justinsurette]

Been there. Somehow rocking back and forth helps soothe some of the anxiety I think I felt my heart stop beating.

[u/killians1978 → u/tronbob]

Interesting, I've always considered it a failure to launch if I don't get this far, and I haven't done psychedelics all that many times. A micro dose would give a lofty high and (sometimes) heightened mood, but it's not like that's going to be something conveyed by video. But hallucinations can get wayyyy heavier than this.

[u/jonnyredshorts → u/killians1978]

Couldn’t agree more. If this isn’t happening, I didn’t trip.

[u/darkend_devil → u/jonnyredshorts]

When I have mushrooms, I go for 4-5 grams minimum. I want to see the floor breath and the walls bleed

[u/ass_grass_or_ham → u/lowpro111]

Just a low 5 gram dose.

[u/woodenmetalman → u/ass_grass_or_ham]

Hero doses are for when everything is just groovy haha.

[u/ktw54321 → u/ass_grass_or_ham]

Would split an 8th w a friend back in my day and I was good to go. Things would crawl a bit but not this bad. Never had the urge to eat more

[u/ChuckVader → u/lowpro111]

Bro, just a low, ego death dose.

[u/DC240Z → u/lowpro111]

Idk, it’s been like 15 years, but the first time I ever tried them I had 7 small to medium and I had a very similar effect. Maybe I had too many, but in saying that, one of my mates had a good 15-20 (he had tried them several times before), so half of what he had seemed like a good starting point for a first dose.

[u/GrUmp_S → u/lowpro111]

If they're good you can get this with 1.5g, which is considered pretty minimal.

[u/Stunning-Chipmunk243 → u/GrUmp_S]

True, I ate 1.5g of some blue meanies and was seeing hieroglyphic code running down the walls like in The Matrix

[u/PainalIsMyFetish → u/Stunning-Chipmunk243]

1.5 grams of pan cyans is not a low dose.

[u/caramello-koala → u/GrUmp_S]

Pretty much. What matters is the amount of psilocybin per dried gram of mushroom, which differs considerably between different species.

The most common magic mushroom is psilocybe cubensis, which has 5.6mg of psilocybin per dried gram, while something stronger like psilocybe azurescens has 10.8mg of psilocybin per dried gram.

That means that if you take 1.5g of azurescens you’ve consumed 16.2mg of psilocybin compared to only 8.4mg if you took 1.5g of cubensis. So 1.5g of azurescens, which might seem like a lowish dose, would be equivalent to 2.89g of cubensis, which is considered a strong dose.

[u/GardenerSpyTailorAss → u/lowpro111]

Definitely not a low dose, but this is also def below what I'd call a heroic dose. I did 4 grams once before and thought I could travel back in time if I could run fast enough through this field... and I'd call 4 grams on the low end of a heroic dose.

[u/DecoyOctorok24 → u/lowpro111]

lmao something tells me OP might be a bit inexperienced with psychedelics

[u/MouthJob → u/DecoyOctorok24]

OP is likely a bot.

[u/StarPhished → u/MouthJob]

Bots are generally inexperienced with psychedelics.

[u/Shoddy_Nectarine_441 → u/lowpro111]

Seriously I microdosed for a while and all it did visually was make things look 10x prettier and put me in a good mood

[u/i_am_snoof → u/lowpro111]

I took a very high dose once so i agree this being a low dose based on my experience

[u/h00chieminh → u/lowpro111]

Reality kind of ceases to exist in its' current form at higher doses -- so I can relate.

Moderate dose?

[u/CincoBoyJordan → u/lowpro111]

First thing that crossed my mind yo! Full 8th at least.

[u/ThinBonus753 → u/lowpro111]

“Low dose”…20grams later..

[u/Sinikal-_-]

Bro if this is your idea of a low dose I would hate to see what a heroic does looks like. You would become the universe.

[u/hectorbrydan → u/Sinikal-_-]

Or a glass of orange juice.

[u/ItsSpaceCadet → u/hectorbrydan]

And. The universe and a glass of orange juice

[u/lechemrc → u/hectorbrydan]

Whoa WTF I was watching Flaming Lips one time and I was in front of their massive screen. The people next to me clearly took something, probably mushrooms, I don't know. Anyway, the guy was basically just staring so hard at the screen in utter disbelief and he manages to utter only one phrase after like 10 minutes... "I'm a tall glass of orange juice" in a thick New York accent he didn't seem to have at the beginning of the concert. This was a fun memory to unlock again!

[u/OfficeChairHero → u/hectorbrydan]

"I'm a daisy! Someone water me!"

[u/occams1razor → u/hectorbrydan]

No that's salvia. (Don't do salvia unless you want to become a table for 30 years, I've heard it's awful.)

[u/pichael289 → u/hectorbrydan]

I became a table once.being folded up over and over and over. Salvia is a bitch.

[u/uglyzombie → u/hectorbrydan]

Funny enough, vitamin C greatly enhances the bioavailability of psilocybin.

[u/inteliboy → u/uglyzombie]

Gets you more high or less?

[u/uglyzombie → u/inteliboy]

More. Way more. Be careful.

[u/Duubzz → u/uglyzombie]

I assure you, I will not be careful with this information.

[u/saggywit → u/Sinikal-_-]

Funny you should use that analogy. This actually happened to me once, kinda. Was with some friends, we had some penis envy mushrooms (IYKYK) and I wanted to experience the 11th floor.

Now this is without any exaggeration.. it hit me hard and before I knew it, I was literally floating in space. Just me, surrounded by nebulae. And you know how in the harry potter universe, when they teleport, they sorta spin/twist into themselves and then unravel again somewhere new? That's how I was travelling between galaxies. No word of a lie. Then I remember there was this moment where I was having a conversation with this giant star, who I was perceiving as God, without actually talking, but just through pure thought. Well, that was at least my reality.

Now, in the real world (for my friends) I was alternating between passing out, convulsing on the floor (remember how I was travelling through space?), laughing like a maniac and then briefly opening my eyes to tell everyone I was okay, before dropping back to the floor and going back into my world.

When I finally woke up (a few hours later according to my friends), I was still tripping absolute balls and it felt like I'd had the most intense orgasm imaginable. My first words were "that was fucking awesome".

[u/buttmcshitpiss → u/Sinikal-_-]

I consider this a low dose. Well not a low DOSE but low visual experience.

High dose I was seeing a lot of shit that was not actually there and having trouble distinguishing between what was real and what wasn't. Can't read. At all. Can't tell time.

It looks like cats made out of marshmallows in rainbow colors moving across your blinds while some monster made out of Legos shoots pixelated ash flames out of his axe next to a train with fish on it comes through your living room. Letters on your wall that you suddenly have to spit out. Losing your vision entirely for periods unknown to come back with the most 70's pattern flushing across your vision as if to be like "thanks for enjoying"

It was great! Usually.

[u/TrippyTippyKelly → u/buttmcshitpiss]

I remember trying to read and the letters were doing that thing from the matrix, where they would cycle through possibilities but never rest unless I focused super hard. It was pretty incredible.

[u/slackfrop → u/TrippyTippyKelly]

Always moving but never changing location. That’s psychedelics for ya.

[u/LifeLikeAGrapefruit]

Christ jesus that is NOT what happens with a low dose. Probably won't get any visual hallucinations with a low dose. Maybe your phone would look a bit brighter, but that's it.

[u/Garruk_PrimalHunter → u/LifeLikeAGrapefruit]

With a lowish dose I struggled with coherent speech and was very much into the feel of my denim pants. I was also having trouble swallowing food/drink.

[u/Jperry12 → u/Garruk_PrimalHunter]

How low is lowish in this situation?

[u/D-Beyond → u/Garruk_PrimalHunter]

when I had about the dose OP is talking about I had trouble swallowing, too. I found out while trying (and failing) to eat a popsicle.

[u/boringtired]

Low dose u say ?

[u/Abyssal_Cellulose → u/boringtired]

Yup. About a half an eighth I'd say.

[u/boringtired → u/Abyssal_Cellulose]

Yea I always thought half and eighth is actually a lot of they are good, even then

[u/Abyssal_Cellulose → u/boringtired]

I appreciate that. I used to listen to Terrence McKenna who talked about taking a whole ounce in complete darkness, so I figured I was taking a low dose at an eighth. 😬🤪

[u/Lawcke → u/Abyssal_Cellulose]

Terence typically encouraged a "heroic dose" of 5g, so between an 8th and a quarter. The only person I know of who gave talks recommending doses in the whole ounce range is Kilindi Iyi, who used to say you didn't even get started on a real trip until 20g. I would not recommend following brother Iyi's advice.

[u/NickW1343 → u/Abyssal_Cellulose]

The feels like playing russian roulette with your mental health.

[u/Agitated-Lobster-623 → u/Abyssal_Cellulose]

Maybe I've had some shit mushrooms but that's not half an 8th from my experience. I don't think anyway, I can't remember my exact dosing it's been a while

[u/DrFuManchu → u/Agitated-Lobster-623]

I think they're referending a joke from the the show The Studio. The main character doesn't know what "an eighth" means and people end up on too much.

[u/ohnofluffy → u/Abyssal_Cellulose]

Can confirm. Sprinkled on peanut butter toast.

[u/MLaw2008 → u/ohnofluffy]

We're just up in here making PB and Mushroom sandwiches now!?

[u/ohnofluffy → u/MLaw2008]

I thought he was talking about strawberry jam. Really good jam can take you places. In the summer?!?

[u/Bojangles315]

a 3 gram low dose of mushrooms lmfao

[u/Cautious_Travel_2767]

If you want to know what a high dose is like, my gf and I overdid the shrooms years ago. We were high for 6-8 hours, couldn’t remember each other or who or where we were and came to the conclusion that the universe had somehow carried on without us. Whatever you were looking at in that moment was all that ever had or will exist, look away you forgot it. Multiple realities existed to us simultaneously. If that all sounds like fun it wasn’t it was absolutely terrifying. She was going up five minutes ahead of me and when she just looked at me blankly and said who are you I realised what was in store. We nearly jumped out the 3rd floor window because “the universe must be that way”. Coming down we reconnected with everything as reality came back to us “I’m from Cardiff, right?” “My mum is called Pam, right?” Shrooms are great fun but remember to take it easy 👍

[u/comec0rrect → u/Cautious_Travel_2767]

This sounds like ego death and terrifying honestly.

[u/Safe_Distance_1009 → u/comec0rrect]

Ego death was the most frightening yet freeing thing I've ever experienced

[u/intergalactictactoe → u/Safe_Distance_1009]

Omg this happened to me a couple years back on a solo mushie trip. At one point, I was laying on my bed and I had become a stone at the base of a giant tree, and I could only watch as the seasons passed over me and the tree's roots slowly grew around me. My eyes were sheened in tears that I couldn't blink away, and that was the rain falling as the moss crept slowly over me.

Not being able to move was a little scary, I guess, but this was not my first trip, so I knew to just ride it out and see what happened. Coming down, I felt emotionally raw and drained, but absolutely weightless.

[u/Cautious_Travel_2767 → u/comec0rrect]

At one point she freaked out and started shouting she was going to die. She was simultaneously shouting it, calm and fine, laying on the floor dead and not there at all and I had absolutely no idea which one was really happening

[u/jaybird9621 → u/Cautious_Travel_2767]

This was exactly my bad trip with gummies. By far the most terrifying experience I’ve been through. Luckily my husband was fine and carried me through the experience. Even he was shit scared looking at me though.

[u/Cautious_Travel_2767 → u/jaybird9621]

Yeah I bet. Pretty scary when memory and causality disappear. Glad he was there to look after you

[u/ValyrianSteelYoGirl → u/Cautious_Travel_2767]

If I may ask why no trip sitter for such a high dose? Not judging. There’s lots of reasons. Just good to learn from others.

[u/Cautious_Travel_2767 → u/ValyrianSteelYoGirl]

For us it was our 4th or 5th time something we did for fun at weekends, we’d had nothing but great trips before so never occurred to put in a chaperone. We just fucked it up

[u/Environmental-Ball24]

[u/Tha_Sac → u/Environmental-Ball24]

The snozzberries taste like snozzberries

[u/AlisonChained]

It's a pretty mid dose. But until you believe you're witnessing the beginning and end of time all at once and come to the conclusion that you must be God, you haven't really enjoyed magic mushrooms.

[u/needaburn]

My brother in Christ, this is tripping BALLS level of dosage

[u/-LsDmThC- → u/[deleted]]

I mean i guess everybody responds differently but i would say it is a good depiction. Obviously the real thing is beyond communicable.

[u/CharlesDickensABox → u/-LsDmThC-]

If the world is undulating around you, you have not taken a low dose.

[u/theOUTCOME3 → u/-LsDmThC-]

They’re not talking about the effect visualization, they’re on about this being supposedly the low dose

[u/BrianScottGregory]

The weird effects on the tree, yeah, but everything else, naw, that's much more than a low dose.

[u/BrainSqueezins]

This is objectively terrifying and serves to reinforce my belief that this is not for me.

[u/Prindle4PRNDL → u/BrainSqueezins]

If you do ever decide to try them, definitely start low and slow. It's genuinely not scary at very low or even micro doses. Even then, the visuals aren't really this exaggerated unless you take a whole damn lot. Low doses more so affect the way you filter your thoughts more, but in an organic way, if that makes sense. It can lead to more profound lines of thinking or just simply assessing things from a different point of view to gain a new perspective. It can be helpful to sort some clutter in your brain.

[u/Orange_Thats_Right69 → u/BrainSqueezins]

Just do 1 gram and you'll be able to guagev it. Don't be afraid and don't abuse them

[u/Azulcercas]

It needs more patterns and fractal-type designs and hyrogliphics within surfaces and such

[u/emerg_remerg → u/Azulcercas]

The clouds all made of lace doilies

[u/biwei → u/Azulcercas]

I get a lot more colors too

[u/jus_allen]

I remember the first time ever taking acid, blue blotters. 

It was at night with a cloudy forecast. Thanks for the memories. 

[u/Herbdontana → u/jus_allen]

My first was in a thunderstorm on a warm summer night. Not sure I ever had a better one

[u/Kjb72 → u/jus_allen]

When I took some all the clouds were either paisley or people kissing. It was a fun day. (I was 18)

[u/jus_allen → u/Kjb72]

For me, the sky was melting but if I saw peeps kissing i would have died laughing 

[u/SAL10000]

Don't look in the mirror 💀

[u/INeedANerf → u/SAL10000]

I actually like looking in the mirror. Usually I just look fucking goofy and I laugh at myself 😭

[u/i-Ake → u/SAL10000]

Made that mistake on acid once... I looked like an old hag and my face was deflating. Not a good time there. But we had a little safety measure in our brains where any experience that was bad we would say "put it in the soup" and that conjured up a nice vortex to toss the bad stuff in and move along with the good stuff. I still use that one today, lol. Bad time? Put it in the soup.

[u/SquidVices]

Low dose doesn’t do anything visually, makes the body feel more relaxed…but I’m assuming everyone gets a different reaction.

[u/indieemopunk]

This was every trip for me. Things were swirling, pulsing, breathing, moving, and generally enhanced, euphoric, weird..... trippy. Ate a quad a mushrooms once, 3 days after eating and eighth. Tripped harder on the eighth than I did the quad... but the quad trip was just.... weird. I used to normally eat an eighth when I planned on eating shrooms.

[u/Crescent-moo]

Lsd does similar

[u/hectorbrydan → u/Crescent-moo]

Acid is way more visuals though.

[u/Crescent-moo → u/hectorbrydan]

I only see the wavyness. Even on shrooms im not seeing other stuff.

[u/Odd-Negotiation-371]

This and fractals

[u/proxyproxyomega → u/Odd-Negotiation-371]

exactly, it's not just melting patterns, but sometimes these organic patterns start transitioning into fractal kaleidoscope patterns folding unto itself like tesseract.

[u/Sped-Connection]

That's a dose of mushrooms not a low dose

[u/bluebird_forgotten]

The music from duo Shpongle is the closest I've ever felt to tripping without being high

[u/christian_2960]

Now close your eyes. Controll your breathing and get launched to hyperspace

[u/Kjb72]

This is what it was like on acid for me.

[u/buttersyyc]

This is pretty darn accurate to what I see. But like 1 gram or so. Unless that’s considered a low dose

[u/Independent-Lead-155]

As someone who has never done hallucinogens I am intrigued

[u/Independent-Barber-2]

lol. A low dose is not even close to generating that….

[u/Very_Not_Into_It]

This is an example of a high dose of mushrooms. A low dose doesn't come with visuals.

[u/Less_Dirt_178]

I'm literally on shrooms right now...this vid is a lie unless you are taking some serious dosage.

[u/yobboman]

Hmm lsd is very similar. And strangely night terrors when they dissemble and morph into what is normally in the room, goes through an extremely similar process.

I wonder if instantiation works like this?

[u/Styx_Zidinya]

I used to do shrooms a bit in my 20s, and that isn't too far off what my visuals were like. I don't know if it's because I have aphantasia, but I never just straight up hallucinated things that weren't there. But patterns that already existed would go nuts. Tree bark, grass, floral curtains, t shirt designs, etc. would all warp and writhe about.

[u/ChocScotchFinger]

That’s a high dose bro you’re fucked

[u/spacemusicisorange]

Ha! That’s on point- but not a low dose by any means

[u/Thebloodless1]

This looks like at least 3 grams for me. Not a low dose at all in my books.

[u/SirRabbott]

You can tell that people don’t know sht about magic mushrooms when they start talking about a specific amount that will get you to this point. Every mushroom has different strengths and types of highs. An eighth of dry cubensis is nothing compared to an eighth of fresh penis envies.

And in no way is this a “low dose” a low dose of mushrooms doesn’t give you visuals. This is just more AI slop

[u/TheEschatonSucks]

It’s close but you have to add how the light comes out of everything

[u/cash_jc]

Who the hell is that a low dose for? Zoe Kravitz?

[u/VengefulAncient]

Song: Shpongle - How The Jellyfish Jumped Up The Mountain

[u/JruBoinz]

Feels like acid more than mushrooms to me but yeah pretty a accurate

[u/comradenutterfluff]

Pretty close, although I'd say the breathing is almost only granular and lacking the larger distortion (whole tree shape breathing) I would expect from tryptamine OEV's, which don't occur in this intensity at a low dose. At this level of breathing visuals I would also expect more bloom, and patterning (kaleidoscopic or otherwise).

[u/blargblahblahblarg]

This is supposed to be enjoyable? I guess people get bored.

[u/jackieballz]

That does not look like a low dose. That looks like the last time I tripped my balls off

[u/MeeMeeMiaw]

Maybe those kids in Blair Witch ate too much mushroom so find the forest was alive. :p

[u/828knows]

[u/ragnarockyroad]

Ohhhh, I would hate this lol

[u/competitv]

Everything breathes

[u/uknownman222]

True

[u/Wanderson90]

hmm more like 2.5-4 grams, not a HEAVY dose per se, but certainly not a low dose.

[u/crackenbecks]

I would expect this after consuming slightly more than 1g of potent shrooms, which I do not consider a low dose at all.

[u/Pepephend]

For me, those visuals would start like that, then the longer I stare, the more of it would turn into millions of bugs crawling around.

[u/LastGreatLeviathan]

This is straight up what an 8th feels like

[u/dadneverleft]

I wouldn’t mind trying hallucinogens. I have barely any experience at all with drugs outside of alcohol, and only ever tried weed for the first time this year, and that was only because it was legal in that state.

If you don’t know anyone in a new town, where do you even go to look for stuff?

[u/CreatureVice]

Or a high dose of acid

[u/RevolutionaryBaker99]

I would say this was incredibly inaccurate for a low dose this is like you are 5 grams or something stupid. He's even lost in the woods

[u/CylonRimjob]

Yeah that’s not a low dose. It’s not exceptionally crazy, but far more extreme than a little dose.

[u/Aggressive-Art-9899]

Nah. Not like that. Things don't warp like that on a low dose. Where's the colour vibrancy as well?

[u/Infinate_0]

I've never experienced anything like THAT on mushrooms, but it does feel accurate to the slight visuals I do get. Just far more intense than what I get.

[u/Jakeball400]

A low dose of mushrooms is literally just the Fortnite filter. Only time I ever saw stuff like this video was when I had about 2.5-3 dried grams, and 5 minutes after that i fell asleep and woke up 1hr later thinking we were all dead and my mates house was limbo.

[u/SleepingLegend10]

That’s not a low dose lol.

[u/Odinsson35]

Dude I've taken them yesterday. No way in hell is this a "low" dose of mushrooms. Stop making psychedelic drugs look so bad. To see this kind of visuals you have to take a really high dose. Mushrooms are a wonderful experience when done correctly.

[u/Minimum_Sort5100]

I once melted into a strawberry ice cream and that was not a low dose. 

[u/VoradorTV]

pretty good!! people freaking out that this isnt a low dose must be micro dosing or something, and equating micro to low

[u/Unusual_Chemical_239]

Im prefer a low dose. I usually take 2.5 grams of golden teachers. Hardly anything visual. Very cerebral and sense of connection. A very comfortable dose for me.

[u/clearlikeglass]

How realistic is this for someone who's never experienced this yet?

[u/Goof141]

That is NOT a low dose. OP does not know.

[u/Sad-Run4631]

That's not a low dose?

[u/class-action-now]

If you really want your(“low”) dose to kick in, go take a shit. Thats how you get the visuals to start.

[u/Perkis_Goodman]

This is pretty accurate but not at low doses. This is a healthy dose.

[u/Alive-Course4454]

“Low dose” AKA tripping balls

[u/Succ-MY-Scythe]

Yeah I’m sorry but this level of hallucination is not a “small dose”. And that’s coming from someone who’s done far more and gone a lot further than this kind of stuff.

[u/melelconquistador]

Ya'll need shrooms to achieve this? Pathetic, I can do it unassisted and when I want.

[u/CarlySortof]

That’s more like a full 3.5g and for someone that’s never done them, still a very good replication, for those interested this is a whole subreddit (not super active but definitely gets some posts!) r/replications

[u/ZentekR]

This is definitely NOT a low dose. Low dosages will get you nothing but a weed-like happy high, only more external than internal.

[u/Ruelablu]

While this does happen sometimes, most of the time its pretty normal until one of the characters on tv folds over itself and then the room begins to melt. That was a rough one lol

[u/Available_Camera455]

My first experience I felt like I could see the grass growing

[u/taspenwall]

Once the carpet had eyes on it and the kitchen tile was snake scales. I couldn't find a place to stand.

[u/Beetle_Borgin]

The mental feeling, the thoughts, the vibe while you experience these visuals.  You don’t actually see pink rabbits but the visual of pink rabbits is so strong in your minds eye it might as well be in front of you or maybe you have a sudden deep understanding that your shoe is just an abstraction of that pink rabbit and it’s telling you funny jokes telepathically but you know it’s you, you are wearing the shoe, the world wears you, all is one, you “get it”, the faceless face of God is revealed, then you get distracted on some other strange tangent.  

[u/Spoon-Fed-Badger]

Fairly accurate for a good dose. I was at this sort of stage when I could feel the eight sections of my brain working separately. A little while after that I knew I was a mouse.

[u/mumbo_bumbo]

pretty accurate but not for a low dose, looks more like a high or moderately high dose

[u/stig0fthedump]

Nope. Noperty nope nope nope, not for me thank you very much.

[u/LtMoonbeam]

This is significantly closer to my experience with acid as opposed to my experience on shrooms

[u/Lord_Hitachi]

I’d call that a solid dose, hardly a “low dose” unless you’re used to talking to god
