The first time I took mushrooms I took 4g and it was pretty intense. Way more intense than I was expecting. I would suggest taking 1/8 or maybe half of the 8th.

As far as preperation, be someplace comfortable and be free of any responsibilities. Gather up some of your favorite music and take the ride.
 
Yeah. AVOID any figures of authority. Regardless of what you might think, it seems VERY obvious when someones tripping, giggling at everything and staring into the distance. and thats assuming they dont see your dime sized pupils.
 
A quarter is rather a lot to start. I'd start with half and work my way up. I did 2 grams my first time. I had wonderful but manageable visuals, and I spent most of the night running around saying ridiculous things or just tripping in another room quietly (I'm a solitary person, introspection suits me). On my second trip, I took an eighth and the effects were unpleasantly strong. The coming up is rather unpleasant the first time you take a whole 8th in my opinion, but that doesn't mean I would not necessarily suggest an 8th to a first time user.

I have done mushrooms many, many times, and my suggestion is to start with 2, 2.5g (or just over half, if you are eyeballing), and an hour and a half later, dose the other gram if you want to take it all the way, but I have to say, to this day the best fry I've ever had, despite several heroic doses, was a good friend and I splitting an 8th. A whole eighth can lead to some pretty crazy confusion. I was once found just standing there in the bathroom staring. When asked what I was doing, I told them I had forgotten and intended to stay in there till I remember. A half hour later, I took a piss.

ROA for both was just eating the damn things. I have heard that grinding them up in a coffee grinder and putting them in juice like KPZ said, it will be easier on your stomach, and easier to digest. I also think the greater surface area would probably speed up that whole 'waiting' period at the beginning. I'm definitely going to try that next time.

a quarter is in fact a WHOLE lot. Id say a whole eighth, get your feet wet by jumping in the pool IMO. Shit, hippies in the 60s would start with 1 hit of their FIRE ass acid and be fine, some of the time. I mean IMO if youre gonna have a bad trip, youll have one from 2g also, or at least youll know whether or not psyches are for you,you know. I mean youll have a quarter, I say eat an eighth.
 
I'd start with 2g. I get a real nice body high, light visuals and haven't had any paranoia from doses around that. If its not intense enough just smoke some weed. If you have experience with other psychs though, doing up to an 8th prob wouldn't be a bad idea.

First time on shrooms me and my two friends had an 8th for each of us ready. We ate 2 grams and one of my friends got so messed up (we all were fucked out of our head) that he came back and shred the rest of the shrooms up to make sure no one did any more. Point being, don't even think about doing a fucking QUARTER your first time tripping, 8th or a little less is where you want to be at.
 
my first dose on mushrooms was about 2.2g and I had a fantastic time, it was my first psych and although I didn't experience too much in the visual department I was in a state of total euphoria for hours and reduced to tears through laughter many times. based on friends experiences etc i think anything from 2 - 3.5 (1/8th) will be fine for a first time, 3.5 obviously being on the higher scale of intensity so just make sure you do it in a nice relaxed environment with people you trust!
 
If you're going to have a bad trip it'd probably happen when eating less than a quarter. Eating a whole quarter the first time would probably kill your ego and be amazing if you know how to let go right it's pure euphoria.

I wouldnt agree with that at all. For someone who has never done shrooms, they are way more likely to have a bad trip and freak out on a large dose

1.5-2g is a perfect starter dose. You can always eat more
 
I wasn't saying for him to do it by any means, sorry for not putting that in the post, was just kind of thinking outloud
 
as the wiser people said, start with half 1/8th or 2g and work your way up. Do NOT do the full quarter... you will most likely have more uncomfortable feelings then good. You will also get stuck in thought loops and it will be too intense trust. You can always take more or smoke weed if you want more intensity but if you just down the quarter and dislike it its game OVER.
 
A full quater is just insanity and is asking for trouble if you've never tripped before.

I say take no more than an eighth for your first time. If they are strong mushrooms that will be a very nice trip.
 
If you tried acid, I say do 4g. I did 3.5g my first time and was disappointed, but I had done acid three times prior. I had very MINOR visuals, I had to stare at something for a minute for it to move. It wasn't until the tail end of my trip when I smoked some weed and it got very mentally intense, I started analyzing myself in a 3rd person point of view over and over again, and it wasn't fun, it was driving me crazy lol.

I would just eat em straight up. I did that..its best to just get used to the ASS taste. I just chewed em a bit, and took a swig of a drink to wash em down (theyre kinda hard to chew, you know, chewy, they dont seem to break into pieces easy when chewing em)

Dried, they have no taste while you're chewing them. It's like stale crackers with no salt. The aftertaste tastes like regular mushrooms. I guess people must just not like the taste of mushrooms, because I always hear everybody saying they taste like shit =D.

^ not entirely true. different species taste different, and especially wild-picked mushrooms may be over-ripe. if you've ever had button mushrooms get old on you, you'd know the distinct level of foul that stanky mushrooms can get. if they were improperly dried, they may get a bit of stank on them. hopefully your grower picks the shrooms before the veils break, as spore load can taste a little weird too. wild shrooms typically have a high spore load (and you should let wild shrooms sporulate so they can spread the species)
 
i enjoy the taste.. it gears me up for the feeling i know is shortly to follow.. :) i have eaten maybe more than 3.5g in one sitting - i once spit some out and made tea from my chewings.. bleeeehhhhh..!! ;)

I was about to say literally this, almost exactly. QFT.

to OP: Hey, when you're done, TELL US HOW IT WENT. Write yourself a trip report :D
 
2 grams (an 1/8 being 3 or 3,5 grams) seems the best mushroom dose to me, to start with. Redosing is not really a good idea either the first time, it can be pretty unpredictable.

I understand that my post might come a little late.
Anyway, we have a special thread for this and I'm going to merge this with it. :)
 
shrooms for first time over spring break

Hey, i'll be doing shrooms for my first time in the next week probably at the beach. I wanted to know if i should bring my new gloveset to give lights shows or receive them, I enjoy them sober so i think they would probably really be cool on shrooms.

if any one has any cool ideas are suggestions on what to do for my first time I would gladly appreciate it. I'm also doing it with 4 my of friends, 2 of which will be there fist time too.

p.s. sorry if this thread has been done a million times. ;)
