The Brains Behind Our Magic Mushroom Dosage Calculator

The Magic Mushroom Dosage Calculator is designed to give you an accurate and personalized dosage recommendation based on various factors like strain potency, body weight, and tolerance. By adjusting these inputs, the calculator helps users tailor their experience according to their individual needs and environment. This guide breaks down each factor that influences the final dosage and how they interact to deliver a precise recommendation.

Quick Overview of Influences:

• Mushroom Strain Potency: Psilocybin content varies by strain, affecting the dosage.
• Desired Effect Level: Different effect levels like microdosing or heroic doses require varying amounts.
• Form (Wet or Dried): Wet mushrooms require a larger dosage due to water content.
• Body Weight: Adjusts the psilocybin dosage proportionally based on the user’s weight.
• Days Since Last Use (Tolerance): Recent use increases the required dosage.
• Setting: The environment (alone, in a group, etc.) influences the dosage slightly.
• Method of Consumption: Different ways to consume mushrooms (tea, capsules, raw) impact how the body absorbs psilocybin.
• Metabolism: A faster metabolism increases the dosage, while a slower metabolism reduces it.
• Interactions with Other Substances: Substances like MAOIs or SSRIs can enhance or dampen the effects.

1. Mushroom Strain Potency

Input: Selected strain (e.g., Blue Nipple, Bluey Viutton)
Influence on Equation: Potency is represented as a percentage of psilocybin content, ranging from 0.8% to 1.5%.

Effect on Dosage: Potency Conversion=1Strain PotencyPotency \ Conversion = \frac{1}{Strain \ Potency}Potency Conversion=Strain Potency1​

The higher the strain’s potency, the lower the final dosage. For example, strains with 1.5% psilocybin require a smaller dose than strains with 0.8% psilocybin. This step ensures that the dosage is tailored to the specific potency of the selected strain.

2. Desired Effect Level

Input: Selected effect level (e.g., Microdose, Calm, Strong, God Dose/Heroic)
Influence on Equation: Base dosage in grams is assigned according to the desired effect level.

Effect on Dosage: Base Dosage=fixed value depending on effect level Base \ Dosage = fixed \ value \ depending \ on \ effect \ levelBase Dosage=fixed value depending on effect level

• Microdose: 0.5g
• Calm: 1.5g
• Average: 2g
• Strong: 3g
• God Dose/Heroic: 5g

This serves as the starting point for the dosage calculation, before applying additional conversion factors.

3. Form (Wet or Dried)

Input: Wet or Dried
Influence on Equation: Wet mushrooms require 10x more by weight due to water content.

Effect on Dosage: Form Conversion={10,if Wet1,if DriedForm \ Conversion = \begin{cases} 10, & \text{if Wet} \\ 1, & \text{if Dried} \end{cases}Form Conversion={10,1,​if Wetif Dried​

Wet mushrooms need a significantly higher dosage due to dilution from water content.

4. Body Weight

Input: Weight (in lbs)
Influence on Equation: Dosage scales proportionally based on weight, assuming an average weight of 150 lbs.

Effect on Dosage: Weight Conversion=User Weight150Weight \ Conversion = \frac{User \ Weight}{150}Weight Conversion=150User Weight​

Heavier individuals will require a higher dosage, while lighter individuals will require less. The conversion adjusts for body mass differences.

5. Days Since Last Use (Tolerance)

Input: Number of days since the user last consumed mushrooms
Influence on Equation: Tolerance increases dosage if mushrooms were consumed recently.

Effect on Dosage: Tolerance Conversion={1.67,if used 1 day ago1.5,if used 2 days ago1.2,if used 3 days ago1,if used more than 3 days agoTolerance \ Conversion = \begin{cases} 1.67, & \text{if used 1 day ago} \\ 1.5, & \text{if used 2 days ago} \\ 1.2, & \text{if used 3 days ago} \\ 1, & \text{if used more than 3 days ago} \end{cases}Tolerance Conversion=⎩⎨⎧​1.67,1.5,1.2,1,​if used 1 day agoif used 2 days agoif used 3 days agoif used more than 3 days ago​

The closer the last use, the higher the dosage to account for built-up tolerance.

6. Setting

Input: Chosen setting (e.g., Alone, Small Group, Big Party)
Influence on Equation: Different settings can either increase or decrease the intensity of the experience, influencing the required dosage.

Effect on Dosage: Setting Conversion={1.1,if Alone1,if Small Group0.9,if Big Party0.95,if Forest/NatureSetting \ Conversion = \begin{cases} 1.1, & \text{if Alone} \\ 1, & \text{if Small Group} \\ 0.9, & \text{if Big Party} \\ 0.95, & \text{if Forest/Nature} \end{cases}Setting Conversion=⎩⎨⎧​1.1,1,0.9,0.95,​if Aloneif Small Groupif Big Partyif Forest/Nature​

This adjustment ensures the dosage matches the user’s environment, which can influence the overall experience.

7. Method of Consumption

Input: Method (e.g., Raw, Tea, With Food, Capsules)
Influence on Equation: Different consumption methods affect how psilocybin is absorbed in the body.

Effect on Dosage: Method Conversion={1.1,if Tea1.05,if With Food0.9,if Capsules1,if RawMethod \ Conversion = \begin{cases} 1.1, & \text{if Tea} \\ 1.05, & \text{if With Food} \\ 0.9, & \text{if Capsules} \\ 1, & \text{if Raw} \end{cases}Method Conversion=⎩⎨⎧​1.1,1.05,0.9,1,​if Teaif With Foodif Capsulesif Raw​

Tea may enhance absorption slightly, while capsules slow the release, requiring an adjustment to dosage.

8. Metabolism

Input: Metabolism type (e.g., Fast, Normal, Slow)
Influence on Equation: Fast metabolism requires higher dosages, while slow metabolism requires less.

Effect on Dosage: Metabolism Conversion={1.2,if Fast1,if Normal0.8,if SlowMetabolism \ Conversion = \begin{cases} 1.2, & \text{if Fast} \\ 1, & \text{if Normal} \\ 0.8, & \text{if Slow} \end{cases}Metabolism Conversion=⎩⎨⎧​1.2,1,0.8,​if Fastif Normalif Slow​

This factor adjusts the dosage to match the user’s metabolic rate.

9. Interactions with Other Substances

Input: Presence of enhancing or dampening substances (e.g., MAOIs, SSRIs)
Influence on Equation: Substances like MAOIs can increase the effect, while SSRIs can dampen it.

Effect on Dosage: Interactions Conversion={1.5,if Enhancing substances present0.5,if Dampening substances present1,if NoneInteractions \ Conversion = \begin{cases} 1.5, & \text{if Enhancing substances present} \\ 0.5, & \text{if Dampening substances present} \\ 1, & \text{if None} \end{cases}Interactions Conversion=⎩⎨⎧​1.5,0.5,1,​if Enhancing substances presentif Dampening substances presentif None​

This adjustment ensures the dosage reflects any interactions with other substances in the user’s system.

Final Equation

The final dosage is calculated using the following equation: Final Dosage=Base Dosage×Form Conversion×Weight Conversion×1Strain Potency×Tolerance Conversion×Setting Conversion×Method Conversion×Metabolism Conversion×Interactions ConversionFinal \ Dosage = Base \ Dosage \times Form \ Conversion \times Weight \ Conversion \times \frac{1}{Strain \ Potency} \times Tolerance \ Conversion \times Setting \ Conversion \times Method \ Conversion \times Metabolism \ Conversion \times Interactions \ ConversionFinal Dosage=Base Dosage×Form Conversion×Weight Conversion×Strain Potency1​×Tolerance Conversion×Setting Conversion×Method Conversion×Metabolism Conversion×Interactions Conversion

This equation combines all the factors to provide a tailored dosage estimate in grams for the user’s unique situation.
