For all brave souls trying magic mushrooms for the first time, the big question is usually, "How much should I take?"
The simple rule is "Start low, go slow," but a few things affect how much you should take. Are you eating dried mushrooms, or are you making shroom tea? Do you want a mild experience or a strong one?
In this article, we'll break down the different dosage levels, the amounts, and the effects so you can get a clearer idea of how much shroom is right for you.

If you've been taking psilocybin often, this will make you build tolerance, so you'll need more to achieve the same experience. Tolerance builds fast but goes away quickly, too.
In what form are you consuming the magic mushrooms? This will also impact how much you should take.
For example, if you eat shroom chocolate bars, the amount of psilocybin varies by bar and square of chocolate.
Shroom shroom capsules can also have a proportionate amount of ground-dried mushrooms, as indicated by the package or seller.
The directives on these products will give you an idea of how much to take to achieve the desired effects.
Some people use psychedelics for creativity, some for mental health benefits, and others just out of curiosity.
Another key to determining your dose is knowing your "why" and your intentions.
We suggest setting an intention before every trip, no matter how much you take.
The set is your mental preparedness, while the setting is your present environment. These two factors are not dosage-specific but determine how much you should take at a particular time.
If you're not in a safe, familiar place, it's best to consume only a few shrooms.
The same thing goes if you don't have a trip sitter—ssomeone sober who can be with you and offer help when necessary for your safety.
Most folks who microdose do it to chase away the blues—think depression, anxiety, or just plain old stress. Or they're after a boost in brainpower, aiming for sharper focus and creativity.
For most microdosers, we're talking a teensy 0.1-00.2 grams. Your tolerance? That depends on your routine and how much of a psychedelic veteran you are.
A microdose of magic mushrooms won't make you see pink elephants.
A low dose clocks in at 0.5 to 2 grams of mushroom magic.
Unlike microdosing, this level might give you a mild trip—a happy buzz with some sensory feel. Expect to feel light and floaty, with a touch of visual flair.
But don't trust your decision-making skills, so skip this dose if you've got to drive, work, babysit, or impress the bigwigs.
This dose gives you a more intense euphoria and sensory experience.
Medium dose is between 2 and 3 grams of magic mushroom.
If you want to get to that state where you experience brighter colors, dancing patterns, and ideas that come out of left field, then this is for you.
We borrow the term "heroic dose" from ethnobotanist Terance McKenna, a psychedelic advocate who opines that high doses are for those who are already familiar with the psychedelic effects.
The high dose is taking shroom from 3 to 5 grams and over.
Expect objects that look bigger or twistier than they should, rooms that change colors like a chameleon, and a taste of synesthesia (sounds might look like colors, or smells might sound like music).
It can be challenging to nail the right measurement of shroom for each of these doses, especially if you don’t have a microdigital scale.
But you don't have to worry about this. We've got the perfect solution for you—just keep reading to find out!
To get the dosage right, you'll need to get yourself a microdigital scale. This will help you accurately weigh the magic mushroom before processing it into whatever form you like for consumption. This is especially important if you're microdosing.
But why bother with all that when you can just buy high-quality, pre-made, pre-measured psilocybin products like chocolate bars or capsules?
