It's best to enjoy a new drug on it's own in order to get a feel for the drug without other influences. Stay in a place where you are comfortable and with people you feel safe/intimate with.
I have never tried psychedelics but I have become interested in them, where do I start?
What are set and setting and why are they so important?
Erowid vault on mushrooms - excellent source with lots of useful info
Read a good deal of the stuff in the last link, and you should feel just a bit more clear about what it is you're going into.

smoke the weed during the peak if you want it to intensify.

^Smoking weed during the peak will intensify the trip a lot, so unless you feel you've under dosed I'd be careful on your first time. Smoking weed on the comedown usually works the best as it will bring some of the psychedelia back whilst also making you feel more tired/relaxed for afterwards.

As well as intensifying the positive effects, weed can also darken the character of the the trip, and increase negative effects like confusion, anxiety and paranoia should any of those rear their ugly heads. I always used to smoke weed on mushrooms when I first started using them cos I didn't know any better. These days I would tend to prefer the mental clarity of a mushroom trip unsullied by the haziness of weed. It's horses for courses though, and you might well find you prefer the combination, but I'd agree with Lulzkiller that for a first time with shrooms you'd do well to get a feel for them on their own at various dose levels before adding other drug effects to the mix.

Set & setting are always important, but especially so on a fuck-you-in-the-soul psychedelic like psilocybin mushrooms. The experience can be very confusing and I've even left my body a few times on those little fungus. Being somewhere you don't feel safe/comfortable could get terrifying extremely fast, especially when you don't even know what the hell the alphabet is.
Be safe, be comfy, have proper nutrition, and be either alone, with an experienced trip sitter, or someone you completely trust. A very close friend.
Have some good trippy music on hand. Obvious ones are shpongle and animal collective. I don't smoke anymore but I never did shrooms without smoking weed, they went great together imo. However cannabis can really ramp up the anxiety/paranoia so keep that in mind.
Potent dark chocolate before eating the shrooms adds a happy vibe to the trip. Peanut butter will help mask the disgusting taste.
Peace, love, & happy tripping! Say hello to your soul for me

Try and leave it it the post peak period in my view, although smoemtimes in the right setttng on the peak can be nice but beware of the 'Darkened character weed can to do to both psilo, and LSD trips, so anke sure u got trip bollocks and in a comfortabe frame of mind.
Never get fully blazed before psilo trip, even if ur bored and have nothing to do but get rip shee all day waiting for the optimum psil ingenstion. As it nearly almost dimished the effect and magic a true Psilocybin experience can offer.
Peace fellows..

Just so you know, we have a First Time Mushrooms thread designed specifically for these questions. This thread will be merged with that one once you've had a chance to reply.
Before posting a thread asking questions you should check the Beginners FAQ and the Psychedelic Index (these are both linked in big bold writing at the top of this forum) - the Index in particular has lists of all our main threads, and then inside each of those are lists of subthreads. In your case, looking for first time mushroom information, you would go to the Psychedelic Index, search for Mushrooms, see the Big & Dandy Psilocybin Mushroom Thread, then inside the first post of that thread you can look through for any more specific subthreads, and you'd see the "First Time Mushrooms" thread
Others have given some good advice here. I would not advise combining with Cannabis your first time taking Mushrooms. If you're very experienced with other psychedelics and combining Cannabis with them then go for it if you feel it's right to do so, but the mix isn't necessarily a pleasant one for everyone. For some people it makes the trip better, and can intensity some of the good effects while reducing some of the bad ones - while for others it can do the opposite.
If you do decide to smoke Cannabis, I'd recommend waiting until your second or third time with Mushrooms so you've gotten a taste for their character on its own before changing it with another drug.

I always do shrooms on their own and won't smoke any weed until I'm already coming down. Smoking during the peak is asking for overwhelm, especially if you are a newcomer!
