A recent case report describes an octogenarian woman with Alzheimer's being given a shockingly high dose of psilocybin.

    They also say 5 grams is over twice the normal rec dose. I’ve always known rec to be 3.5. 2.0 - 2.5 grams probably wouldn’t even give more than minor visuals for most people.

    I didn’t see type of shroom, but I’m guessing cubes as they are the most common.

        I’m assuming they mean psilocybe cubensis
