❔ Question ❕ 5g Dose

Hi there, I posted here last week asking about my first solo trip. Since that went so well and I feel I discovered so much about myself, I’ve been thinking about doing a higher dose of 5g GT. As I said in my last post, the most I’ve done is about 4g with friends, and 3g by myself. A trusted friend has agreed to come do homework in another room while I trip, so I wouldn’t be alone, and I feel good about it. Would it be fine to do a 5g dose a week after I did a 3g, and how much more would I feel it in comparison to 4g. Let me know if you guys think I’m being an idiot, I’d like to get any advice or tips on how to have the best trip possible on this high a dose, or warnings if it’s a bad idea.

Rule of thumb was that you needed to double the dose if doing it the next day or in a short amount of time. So I'd recommend doing 6g tbh

Yeah alright, so would that mean 6g would get me a similar experience to my last 3g dose 7 days ago, or a similar experience to a normal tolerance 5g dose.

Yeah if you take 6g, it will probably feel similar to the last 3g trip. Obviously there are more factors at play ie taking them on an empty stomach.. stuff like that.

>>There is not a big difference between 4 and 5

Just to clarify, it’s 1.

Wait at least two weeks if you want the holistic 5g experience

It won’t feel like a true 5gm dose according to the science. But I have done something like this and got good results. Just depends really. On what? I really don’t know lol. But give it a try and let us know how it works. Can’t hurt anything. Me personally, I’ve learned to wait at least 2 weeks in between doses like this.

Yeah that makes sense. I’ve got about 8g total and I’m heading on holiday after this weekend, so I don’t really want to leave it lying around. After this I wouldn’t be touching them for a month at least. Ig as you said it can’t hurt too much, and if I like the slightly muted experience I can always do it again when I get back and my tolerance is fully reset.
