5 grams isn't a high dose though, I'm not sure why it's described as such. Shops sell doses starting at 15g, although they recommend newbies take only half of that.
Example of a shop which describes 5g as a "light dose": https://www.sirius.nl/atlantis/
5 grams is what most people especially those new to mushrooms would call an intense experience.
.5 grams to 1.5 grams is a mild experience.
For a personal example; I accidently did 9 grams of golden teacher, tripped balls, and woke up in the hospital with bruises and a cracked rib. It was not an enjoyable experience.
You must be talking wet weight. 5g of dry mushrooms is about 50mg of psilocybin, which has been referred to as a "heroic dose" for decades.
