Totally agree. The variance between species can be dramatic! 2.5 grams of Golden teacher was a standard trip, vs 0.5 grams of PES Amazonian was enough to send my friend into a full blown “awakening” (physical responses and everything).

It’s fascinating how they can hit different.

Also important to keep in mind the same dose can hit someone different each time depending on surrounding life conditions. I’m a big believer that the mushrooms “show you what you need to see” at any given moment, and that can sometimes range considerably.

Hallucinogenic experiences are rarely the same. So you can use the same amount of the same batch 3 different times and have 3 totally different experiences.

Some people claim that you can control experiences by contolling "set and setting." I don't buy even that; all we can really say is that the experiences are not consistent between trips and we don't know why.

It's really hard to say because your mental state of being, how tired/hungry/etc you are, and thr environment you take it in are huge factors.

Taking it alone vs with friends is going to be a dramatic difference on its own, just because of what neural pathways are active when you take them.
