What is a safe and effective dosage of psilocybin truffles for a first therapeutic experience, and how is it determined what suits me?
A safe and effective dosage for a first therapeutic experience with psilocybin truffles is generally between the 25 and 35 grams of fresh truffles, which corresponds to approximately 25–35 mg psilocybin. This dosage is adjusted based on your sensitivity, experience, physical health, and mental state.
The dosage is determined via a personal intake, taking into account factors such as body weight, degree of need for control, sensitivity to psychedelics, medication use, and your therapeutic goals. During the session, the truffle is usually prepared as a tea, which facilitates absorption and reduces nausea without significant loss of active substances.
A lower dosage, such as 5–15 grams, is often too light for deep therapeutic breakthroughs and is used more for very mild trips and light introspection. For a first true breakthrough experience, a full dosage, tailored to your profile, is the most effective approach.
