Drugs Info = MushroomsIt's possible that too high a dose of psilocybin could lead to a catatonic state but there is nothing in literature about black outs. How much are you taking?

If you are taking large amounts (4 or 5 grams dried or more), it may be that your dose is just too high.
Related QuestionsHow many mushrooms should you take?
Drugs Info = MushroomsPsilocybin content varies widely from species to species and from mushroom to mushroom. There are no hard and fast rules regarding dosage. As a rough guide, however, a medium dose is equivalent to three grams dried, or 30 grams fresh. First time, aim low. You can always increase the amount another time, but you can't undo a far-too-large dose. Be wary of over-confidence. Each psychedelic trip is different and each level of the experience has its own intensity and pitfalls.
