I think you could go to Oregon and do it under the supervision of a licensed therapist. There are places like Denver and Oakland where you can’t get in trouble for it but still might be hard to find if you don’t know anyone. Some of those kinds of places are listed here: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2020/rpt/pdf/2020-R-0323.pdf

There’s a few subs on here like that can show you how to grow them yourself from easily attainable material but be careful that you understand potential legal implications in your area.

As for dosage, start with about anywhere from a half gram to a gram and a half and move up .5 grams at a time taking them only once in about two weeks to a month. At 3 or 4 grams you should trip pretty hard.
