What should I expect? I'm planning to do mush for the first time with my gf. What should be the initial doze for me and my gf? Is it better inside or outside?
 
I would suggest taking an eighth split between the two of you. If you have experience with the psychedelic ideation these drugs can bring I say take an eighth each. I always found that if im going to put my body through the shock of a psychedelic, I may as well get a intense trip.

Peoples opinion of the fungus seem to vary alot, personally I find them to be a powerful ally, I have had extreme spiritual realizations on psilocybin, and on the other end of the spectrum you have those that say you just can't get that far with shrooms ( I think this is rediculous, they most likely have been getting weak or old cubensis)

I think shrooms are best outside, right at dusk, shrooms really show there magic in dark environments. Make sure you will not be around alot of people or in an area where its possible to run into an authority figure, this can trigger parinoia which can ruin a beautiful trip.

Hope you have a good time! The mushroom is a powerful teacher, respect it as such and it will show you places you never thought you could imagine.
Safe travels nobel travelers!
 
Have you ever tripped before? Make sure your somewhere comfortable for both of you. A place where you won't have to deal with other people.

Half an eighth (1.75g) is recommended for the first time but it can be quite mellow. I agree that 3.5g will be a much better use of your time if your bothering to have a psychedelic experience. I would say only do an eighth if you really have an idea of what you will be doing.

Outside in nature can be amazing. Walk some trails, look at trees etc. But again, only some place where you are sure you feel safe.

Don't think inside will be terrible either. Turn out the lights, get a strobe light machine going with some music =D It'll be fun!
 
Dont eat nothin for the day you plan on eating them. IME they are much more intense when taken on a complete empty stomach. Also, ive heard mixing them with orange juice will help intesify the experience but i never tried it. If someones got some info on this please share.
 
I don't think eating nothing at all is a good idea. For me a big thing is making sure I eat enough when I trip. Not being able to eat and knowing I should be eating something has caused some bad times for me personally.

Eat healthy foods before you trip. You need energy! Maybe let your stomach clear for a couple hours before the mushrooms. But eat something.

I've made tea with lemon juice and find it kicks in faster. So a shorter more intense trip but not by much.
 
Any VITAMIN C will help with absorption, hence the lemon and orange juices. If we knew what other psychedelics you'd tried and how much, I bet we could give you a much better dosage recommendation :)
 
We already have a First Time Mushrooms thread. Me or another mod will merge this thread with that one once you've had the chance to reply :)

Good advice here. I fast before my trips usually (but not always) - but I try to time it so that my trip coincides with when it'd be ~3-4 hours since my last meal rather than skipping a meal and going hungry through my trip. I also tend to eat during my trips, usually something light but if I'm comfortable and hungry I'll happily eat a full cooked meal.

Inside or outside is down to personal preference and your mood at the time. Inside you have the advantage of controlled music and a speaker system, TV/films, bed, shower, food, all your usual creature comforts. Outside you have the beauty of the plants and earth around you, the singing of the birds in the trees, the trickling cool water of the stream that you can bathe your feet in.

Personally in my experience I find my best trips are the ones where I do things I wouldn't normally do sober - so if you're the type to spend awful lots of time at home, sitting around on your computer, watching TV etc, go out instead - if you're the type to spend all your time going for walks and exploring nature, try a nice comfortable trip inside. :)

As for dose, it depends on the level of intensity you want and also the type of mushrooms that you have. Cubensis you'd want to start with 1.5-2g for a lighter to medium trip, and 3-3.5g for a stronger one, while Semilanceata you'll want to lower the dose, taking 1-1.5g or so if you want a lighter trip and no more than 2-2.5g if you want a stronger one.

Hope this answers your questions.
