Minimum I've seen was 1.5g. Usually between 2 and 3.5.

The issue with psychedelics is not that their ingestion might kill you, but rather what you will do to yourself or others while on them. No amount of reading and Youtube videos can prepare you for a strong psychedelic experience. Once in it, you have to go through it, and accidents do happen.

I've found that people who do psychedelics in repetition usually _think_ they are some sort of key to their problems, they'll help them fix themselves, yada yada yada. One trip is enough for people for whom that is true. If you have to do them repeatedly, the issue is elsewhere. I am against full-on prohibition, but also skeptical about the "pro-psychedelic" sentiment in vogue.

you state this like fact but you’re sourcing this from your personal anecdote.

I agree 1.5 - 3.5 seems about the normal range for a single dose.

2.0g is therapeutic for me. 3.5 I am floored by the experience in a non productive way.
