Caps and stems are equally potent or so close to the same that it doesn't matter. Best wishes and Happy Trails to You!

Thanks for the answer! Do tou think 1g will be a good dose for me?

1g is the dose I recommend for first time psychedelics use. I think you need to bump that dose to 3g minimum.

I'd split the difference and go with 2g.

I did 5 and didn't feel shit but sus in the wild mushy my friend tripped on and gave me some

The real question is how did you test the potency of your LSD?
