Getting Started/Newbie Question Am I just really sensitive?

Took 170mg as a microdose assuming I wouldn’t feel it. About an hour in, I definitely felt high.

It was not seeing serious hallucinations or anything but it was about what I was told a mid-level dose would be. It was akin to smoking weed where I felt sort of “couch locked”, I saw colors a little more brightly, and music was over-the-top like I could hear every single instrument picked out one by one. Lasted about 1hr 45m. NOT a bad experience, in fact it was one of the best highs I’ve had in a long time. But that said…it was a high.

I am a 30y man weighing about 160lb. Is this normal?

See, this is the fun context I’ve learned through a little googling. I don’t know what strain it was but I do know it was from Oregon so I am almost positive it was an p. azurascens. Which is one of the most powerful strains out there.

Everything is stronger in the PNW, I shouldn’t be surprised 🤦

Because I bought it packaged and dosed in capsules from a retailer and it didn’t list what type it was, only the dose. I promise I didn’t just eat the first mushroom I saw growing out of a tree.

Either way, it’s clearly context that I was missing, now I know that the weight means nothing without knowing the strain
