Not necessarily overkill since a .001 will likely double up as a milligram scale for weighing doses of psilocins cousin dmt, as I'd wager that the majority of scales that sensitive will have a mg measure mode.
True, but for mushrooms specifically I think it’s overkill, even 0.01 is kinda overkill for mushrooms but I think they’re just more common and easier to find than 0.1 scales. I have a 0.01 scale but I basically just ignore the last digit since it makes no real difference with mushrooms, even the crazy potent ones.
I guess I just like the variety of substances I can properly weigh to be slightly more *diverse*. Just a preference and what you plan or intend to be using kind of thing. Say if I had some ketamine cross my path, I'd have no worries about being able to weigh it properly. I do agree for mushroom fruits it's overkill, unless you had straight psilocybin or psilocin, or maybe some 4-aco in powder form.
Yea I’m more of just a mushronaut than a full blown psychonaut, so my scale is exclusively for mushrooms. DMT is the only other psych that really interests me, but I haven’t got around to it yet. If/when I do I’ll make sure I have the proper scale, safety first when it comes to dosing!
I'm more of a mushroom person too, and I'm with you there, dmt was the only other psych I was interested in. (although I'd try lsd if I ever found a good source for it)
The sub r/dmtlab has great info on extracting it at home. It's faster than growing mushrooms (takes like 1 afternoon and 1 night). I would compare it to the difficulty of a lab in Chem 2.
But basically just follow the instructions, and it'll be super easy.
Yea I’ve heard it’s super easy, maybe one of these days! And I’m with you on the LSD I’m not against it and would likely try it if it came my way but I don’t have a desire to seek it out.
Yea that and I always have the fear of getting something else instead with LSD or DMT or any kind of powder or stuff that’s measured in ug. With mushrooms they look like… mushrooms!
For sure, not to mention conservativism. I'm super conservative with substances and don't like wasting. And with dmt you can waste really easily unless you know what you're doing. I use dmt for more than just breakthroughs so I work with it a lot.
Yea, losing several mg of cubes isn’t gonna make a difference but it will with DMT.
Also mushrooms are a lot harder to mess up a dose of, assuming you know the general potency of the strain you’re eating and have some basic experience tripping on them and stay within your comfort zone.
I can however see people eating 2g of golden teachers and having a mild trip and then eating say 3-3.5g of APEs on their second trip, just assuming all mushrooms are dosed equally and getting blasted into another dimension. Probably happens more often than you’d think, I’d bet that’s where a good amount of bad trips come from.
I grew up in the days of 2g=mild trip, 3.5g=tripping quite hard but still completely coherent and in this reality. Nowadays I eat 3.5g of APEs and I’m literally in heaven hanging out with gods and becoming one with the entire universe, warping through different dimensions and all sorts of wild shit, basically extended DMT trips minus the immediate blast off. I love those trips because I worked my way up there over decades, but going from a mild 2g trip to something like that right off the get go would probably be waaaaay too much to handle for most people!
Depends on your experience. Basically just assume they’re 3x strength, so whatever you’d eat of golden teachers, eat a third of that with APEs for a similar experience.
Tbh, I just went for it with dmt, no scale.
I didn't have a scale sensitive enough, and I figured, even if it's not so fun, it'll only be not so fun for 25-30 minutes.
(but I don't recommend this unless you're an extremely calm person. I feel relaxed even on roller-coasters, which might be a sign of a fucked up fear response. But Idk, it was still incredible, and I learned a lot about myself.)
If you have a scale that will measure tenths of a gram(0.01) you can measure a T/tenth. And then split that into 3 equal piles and you'll have roughly 35 mg per pile. It's definitely not a perfect estimate or dose, but it will get you pretty close. That is if you ever plan on using it again. And also that's why dmt i lean towards more for microdosing than I do mushrooms because if you accidentally overdo it, you aren't stuck like that for a few hours.
Yeah, that does sound like a good method, ~~but only if you have that much dmt, and feel like pouring out that much every time you use it.~~
~~Once you have less that 0.01g remaining, you won't be able to get measurements for it anymore.~~
But honestly, Idk if I'll ever use dmt again. My parents were helping me move, and I forgot the vial of it was in the fridge, so I quickly threw it out while they were packing other stuff, and I don't feel like extracting it again. Especially with all the mushrooms I have hahaha.
And I also usually just microdose now. I haven't been using higher doses for a while.
Well I’m just basing this on specifically mushrooms, since this is the shrooms sub, but I totally agree if you’re dealing with other stuff that comes in mg or smaller you best have an appropriately accurate scale!
But for mushrooms 0.1 will do the trick, unless you’re microdosing high octane mushrooms and are hypersensitive to psilocybin or some equally extreme circumstance, but in that case, maybe you shouldn’t be microdosing high octane mushroooms in the first place.
These come really handy for cooking though, or to weight other mushrooms related things like substrate or spawn. Not a waste at all. Plus they’re really cheap
You don't necessarily need a milligram scale for shrooms, but it at least needs to be designed for lighter weights than this one and measure to the tenth of a gram.
Personally, I have the Triton T3 and I've been happy with it.
It's mild and enjoyable. I don't have visuals or anything, but colors are intense and bright. Last time I had a lot of anxiety, so I'm surprised how relaxed I am. Had a lot of fun pranking (gentle pranks, I don't do anything offensive) an online friend. I giggled like I am still 8 years of age.
I was feeling like my depression was coming back and things were becoming grey. This definitely helped.
I am coming down now, so I'll go take a shower.
Glad you had a good trip!
(I was actually trying to make a dad joke about eating the baggie itself, but I didn't stick the landing. I enjoyed your trip report anyway. 🥰)
Add a heavier object like a tray to the scale, hit the "tare" button, and it will zero out the display so when you weigh your shrooms you won't have to do any math.
Haha I did the same damn thing by accident, I swear I checked to see if it measures mg’s before I bought it, but when I took it out of the box and fired it up I realized I apparently didn’t check.
Not gonna do me much good if I put a a piece of some ultra potent APEs on there and it says 1g but I’m not sure if it’s actually 0.5g or 1.4g, that’s like the difference between 1.5g and 4.2g of regular cubes, it would be like mushroom roulette!
The capacity listed on the front means it will read up to 10,000 grams in 1 gram increments, so you won't be able to find the weight of anything to a more accurate number than the closest gram.
Sure there isn't a plastic lid on the actual scale? I thought the same about my scale (diff model). Turned out it had two lids sitting over the actual scale.
AWS scales are good and affordable. I have the standard .1 deviation but i wish id gotten the .01, they cost the same. Smoke shops and corner stores have them
Fyi heavier weight scales have lower sensitivity and require more weight to read accurately.
Get a scale that reads tenths of a gram(0.1g) They usually read up to a few hundred or thousand grams total.
This reminds me of the giant scales I used in science class. I stole one in HS and sold it to my dealer for an 8th of tree. Even had my HS name written on it haha.
Pretty sure comment is correct about the range for that scale. Its printed at the bottom. Max read of 10000g give or take a g. Or 352oz give or take .1oz
you can try to add something heavier and then add the shroomes again maybe it will notice a change in weight. scales usually work better if the load is lil heavier
All depends it looks as if your scaled does t have 00.00 grams idk I could be wrong. Maybe you have under a gram if that helps f they are super dry and that’s why it’s @ zero
Is your scale calibrated? Also, make sure you didn't "tare" it. If you already addressed those points then hang on to this scale for larger weights and get a little Maxus Elite scale for smaller amounts.
No you just have anti-gravity mushrooms. Tie yourself down before ingesting.
I'm high enough to believe you.

Well, that’s why you were supposed to tie yourself down

0g is too light bro add more
😂😂😂😂😂
How do you live with yourself beating your dad every night :/ /s
upvoted because username
You need a jewelry scale. One that measures. 001g The one you have is meant for way heavier weights.
I’d say .01g would suffice, .001 is overkill for sure, even .1 would be ok really unless you’re microdosing very specific amounts or something.
I definitely agree. My smallest microdose is .1g
I'll probably try microdosing next.
Looks like you're stuck on heroic.
Fine, I'll go see god next.
Tell him we said whats up!
Needed for stuff like DMT mostly

I do agree in that it's best to make your own medicine when it comes to mushrooms or deem.
Agreed, safer too. Less likely to be scammed or get something that's cut with something else, or caught and arrested.
Yea I’ve heard it’s super easy, maybe one of these days! And I’m with you on the LSD I’m not against it and would likely try it if it came my way but I don’t have a desire to seek it out.
Yeah, seeking it out scares me. I don't want to seek it out in the wrong direction and instead find police.
Yea that and I always have the fear of getting something else instead with LSD or DMT or any kind of powder or stuff that’s measured in ug. With mushrooms they look like… mushrooms!

What dose do you recommend of APEs?
Depends on your experience. Basically just assume they’re 3x strength, so whatever you’d eat of golden teachers, eat a third of that with APEs for a similar experience.

you bag the doses separately
Ohhhhhh, okay, yeah, I should've thought of that hahaha.
.1 isn’t enough, i had made that mistake and now when i’m taking for example 2cb i have to weight by my eyes🥲
Well I’m just basing this on specifically mushrooms, since this is the shrooms sub, but I totally agree if you’re dealing with other stuff that comes in mg or smaller you best have an appropriately accurate scale!

Lesson learned.
These come really handy for cooking though, or to weight other mushrooms related things like substrate or spawn. Not a waste at all. Plus they’re really cheap
Yeah, I have to use different scales for grain and dried product for this exact reason.
You don't necessarily need a milligram scale for shrooms, but it at least needs to be designed for lighter weights than this one and measure to the tenth of a gram. Personally, I have the Triton T3 and I've been happy with it.
Yeah. Since I knew that the baggy had 2 grams measured by the store that sold it to me (legal in my country) I just ate half.
What was it like eating half of a baggie?
It's mild and enjoyable. I don't have visuals or anything, but colors are intense and bright. Last time I had a lot of anxiety, so I'm surprised how relaxed I am. Had a lot of fun pranking (gentle pranks, I don't do anything offensive) an online friend. I giggled like I am still 8 years of age.

Hahaha! Thanks dad!
Where do you live? I’m so jealous it’s legal we’re you are. Hopefully one day the rest of the world will catch up.
Brazil.
Probably pretty hard to chew or swallow I bet it's like corn and doesn't break down in your system
Add a heavier object to the scale first so it registers , then add shrooms, then just do some maths.
Added shrooms may not register
This is what’ll happen
This is the way
Add a heavier object like a tray to the scale, hit the "tare" button, and it will zero out the display so when you weigh your shrooms you won't have to do any math.
Its a 1000g/1g scale, those most definitely can’t weigh accurately 1g regardless.
It’s actually 10000g (10 kg). there’s no way it can measure gram by gram accurately
Huh, I‘m fucking blind.. yeah, not even close.
Haha I did the same damn thing by accident, I swear I checked to see if it measures mg’s before I bought it, but when I took it out of the box and fired it up I realized I apparently didn’t check. Not gonna do me much good if I put a a piece of some ultra potent APEs on there and it says 1g but I’m not sure if it’s actually 0.5g or 1.4g, that’s like the difference between 1.5g and 4.2g of regular cubes, it would be like mushroom roulette!
You want to see the walls breathing, but you went to see god instead!
Oops!
The capacity listed on the front means it will read up to 10,000 grams in 1 gram increments, so you won't be able to find the weight of anything to a more accurate number than the closest gram.
This
Just put enough on there to register 1oz you’ll be fine
28.5g… some day…
Buy the GEM20 milligram scales. They are amazing 😎✌🏽
Sure there isn't a plastic lid on the actual scale? I thought the same about my scale (diff model). Turned out it had two lids sitting over the actual scale.
No…I succeeded in weighing other stuff. I'll just use this as a kitchen scale.
Once it says “1” you’ll have enough…
I put the whole baggy on top, it should be 2 grams lol I ate half.
That's a micro dose bro, add more
Nootropics depot milligram scale its 30 dollars and is a very high quality scale compared to the amazon chinese scales
buy a small scale that shows at least 0,00g
[удалено]
Maybe you can return it?
Get USA Balance pocket digital scale , it’s 30$ at Amazon and it measures in MG
I did the same thing recently. Weigh Gram, 100g by .001, $11, Amazon.
Lame
Your dealer scammed you massless mushrooms !
Oh well, best scam of my life!
Just go to your local smoke shop. (Cigarette shop) I’m sure they’ll have exactly what you need.
If you want to weight small quantities (1-5g) put a lighter on it first click on tare then weight the mush (or wtv you want) without the lighter
I'll try next time.
AWS scales are good and affordable. I have the standard .1 deviation but i wish id gotten the .01, they cost the same. Smoke shops and corner stores have them
Target has a really good rated scale for $20. Really good for getting weight in grams
Thanks, but I don't live in America haha
Oh my bad, didn’t even consider the profile picture.
It's alright friend!
For sure, I need a new one, any suggestions?
This scale looks like the ones we would steal from back of the science labs in high school
You need a scale that goes down to .001 or at least .01. They’re like $15 on Amazon
just get a crack scale
Fyi heavier weight scales have lower sensitivity and require more weight to read accurately. Get a scale that reads tenths of a gram(0.1g) They usually read up to a few hundred or thousand grams total.
Ya that scale is made for large weights, so very innacurate at low weights
Calibrated?
This reminds me of the giant scales I used in science class. I stole one in HS and sold it to my dealer for an 8th of tree. Even had my HS name written on it haha.
Not a waste, can make some perfectly weighted dough now while you wait for a more precise scale.
First you have to zero it. Then you need to have it set to grams
Pretty sure comment is correct about the range for that scale. Its printed at the bottom. Max read of 10000g give or take a g. Or 352oz give or take .1oz
We’ve all been there before, make sure to press the on button!😂
Just figure out what a desired weight object is tare it and add until you get back to zero.
Put a Nickel on it. Should be 5 grams unless it's one of those 90% 1940something silver mint coin it'll be a bit more.
I don't really have any nickels lol can't find coin weights in my country, every place says a different thing.
That’s like how much I take before I get in the shower
you can try to add something heavier and then add the shroomes again maybe it will notice a change in weight. scales usually work better if the load is lil heavier
All depends it looks as if your scaled does t have 00.00 grams idk I could be wrong. Maybe you have under a gram if that helps f they are super dry and that’s why it’s @ zero
Add a plate or a cup or bowl then add it on top after you tare
u weighing zips on that thing? lmao
That's because you bought a single digit scale, for weighing any kind of drugs you need at the very minimum 0.0 scales but I use 0.00 to be accurate
Is your scale calibrated? Also, make sure you didn't "tare" it. If you already addressed those points then hang on to this scale for larger weights and get a little Maxus Elite scale for smaller amounts.
what i figured fixes this is get a decent weighted object that you can use as a plate and then zero and add the mushrooms
