 I have some questions about planning my first trip

Well, ive never done mushrooms. I have smoked weed like 20 times and gotten drunk around 30 times, im 6 feet tall and weigh 170, my tolerance is average. i want to try mushrooms pretty bad. My friend tried them and said they were great. I want an easy trip and something not intense, just something i can eat and feel a high for like 4 hours or so that just has minor effects and makes music sound good and some lights changing and stuff. What is a beginners mushroom and how much do you think they would cost? thanks for the help =]

I'd say start with a dose around half an eighth (1.75 grams ish). An eighth usually goes for anywhere between $20 and $30 on average, but that will depend on where you live. I've sold my shrooms for $60 an eighth (Because they were fantastically good and this place... doesnt see the likes of them often.)

Welcome to the Shroomery!
I suggest ingesting around a 1/2 8th (1.6 - 1.8grams).
Some may say that is not enough, but don't listen to them. If they are normal mushrooms it will be enough to show you the basic effects of mushrooms.
Try to obtain "cubensis" if possible. Very good strain.
Normally an 8th of mushrooms costs about $25 give or take. Based on that you should be able to buy a 1/2 8th for about $10-15.
Or you can just buy an 8th and split it with a friend.
When you feel like stepping up your trip eat an 8th, or take vitamin c tablets/ orange juice as it will most likely boost your trip's potency.

You should be able to control yourself. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend being able to go outside (in nature if possible) during your trip at some point. Whenever I'm inside, I always feel trapped, and going outside can even turn a horrendous trip into a great one.
Nausea is an inherent risk when taking shrooms. I have never, or rarely anyway, had a shroom trip with absolutely no nausea. Sometimes it's short acting. Sometimes it lasts a while. Sometimes you may throw up (I never have, and I doubt that at such a low dose you would.). If you think you may be getting sick, then smoke some weed, take some deep breaths, and drink water.
Here, as per usual on these kinds of threads, i'll just post part of my own guide to shroom trippin.
~~~Nausea
Ahh, yes, nausea. Many people become nauseas at some point during a shroom trip. This can be caused by anything from the shroom itself, what you ate it with, or your bodies' reaction. It may get overpowering, even, at a point or two during your trip. The most, MOST important thing to remember during this time is not to panic! Panicking will do nothing more than start a bad head trip, and things will probably go down hill from there.
There are a couple things you can do to combat nausea.
~*~BREATHE!!!! Stand up, take long, deep breaths, and exhale slowly. Your body will get more oxygen and may make you feel better.
~*~Smoke weed. It will instantly (Yes, I do literally mean instantly) make you feel better. As many people claim, marijuana and shrooms are perfect for each other.
~*~Drink water. Water is the best thing for your body, and drinking a good amount of it while feeling sick on a trip will help bring it to an end and will help things move through your body.
~*~Go to the bathroom. Pretty common knowledge, though probably not a way to combat nausea, but in any case, good advice. If you feel like you're going to throw up, go to the bathroom. If it's night, and you've been in the dark, I'd recommend a cell phone or small light to be used unless you're too uncomfortable to do this. The light that a bathroom light will cast will hurt your eyes if you turn it on after being in the dark and won't help much.
~*~Find a comfortable place/position to sit/lie, and
~*~RELAX!! When I felt realllly sick on my last shroom trip, I went to the bathroom feeling like I was going to throw up. It was at night, there was a small night light in there, so I kept the lights off, drank water, and prepared myself for throwing up. After nearly doing so and leaning on the toilet, I started to feel better and just sat in the middle of the bathroom looking at what was the most intense looking wall I'd ever seen at night before. It, for some reason, was a very comfortable place to be, and I sat there for a good 20 or 30 minutes before going back and joining my brother.
If you keep in mind that you only are feeling sick because of the shrooms, and that in the overall scheme of things, you'll be fine. Be OK with whether you get sick or not, as this will calm your mind and perhaps your stomach!
In the words of Bob Marley,
"Everythings gonna be all right!
Everythings gonna be all right!"
Hopefully through one, some, or all of these techniques, you will get past your sickness and your trip will continue in an amazing way.
Happy Trippin'!!!!

Mushrooms are food for the soul, you will see when you eat it, it is a BILLION times better than being high for 4 hours. Take 2-2.5g, and respect the fungus. Enjoy.

2.0-2.5(dried) grams for your first time, be able to go outside, and choose wisely who your with. Also make sure theres nothing that could go wrong to ruin or induce a bad trip cause it CAN happen even when not expected.

My first trip was on 5g, LOVED IT. I'm sure anyone with a little maturity can handle 2-2.5g.
Edit: Oh, btw, here is a few musts:
Good setting (aka nature, a secluded beach is good, a dens forest is best.)
Good set(mindset.): Be happy and willing to learn and take whatever comes your way, and take it as a learning experience. Even a "bad" trip is beneficial, if you treat it as a learning experience.
Here is a few optional things that can help:
Good music, like good trance (GOOD trance, shit trance sucks.), sacred spirit (AMAZING, esp if your setting is a forest. Google: sacred spirit torrent, and download a cd or two, put it on your I-pod.)
A very trusted experienced friend who you have a special connection with. (Like a soul-brother.) who would trip with you, and guide you through the experience. The best trip sitter is someone who is experienced, and tripping themselves, on a dose that is low to them, but the same as yours.
If you get a difficult expereince (Bad trips aren't bad, just a difficult experience.), here is a few things that can help:
Meditate (if you do not know how, google it, and learn to meditate, meditate before the trip, and while you are tripping. For tripping open eye meditation rules, just do normal meditation, but with your eyes open.)
Yoga, it can help you release excess negative energy (not "bad" energy, negative energy.) it just feels refreshing.
Change your setting (go outside, put on some music, or just close/open your eyes, any change can help.)
Eat dark (70-85% cacao) chocolate (it seems to help release dopamine and serotonin.
Drink some hot milk (not microwaved, on a stove, microwaves harm your body and your soul.), it helps you relax.
Smoke some weed (good sativa, high grade, not middies, Durban Poison is the best, but it can be hard to find if you do not live in South Africa like I do.)
Chant, best cure ever.
And last, but definitely not least, just accept what is happening to you, and just choose to enjoy it.
Mushroom nausia isn't that bad, nothing compared to almost every other natural psychedelic, it is just some energy that wants to escape, chanting relieves this, as you release that energy.
Difficult trips are caused by an imbalance of energy, any of the above helps balance these energies.
I highly reccomend you take at least 2g, it is more intense than you think, but believe me, you won't regret it when you are laughing at the grass that is flowing like the ocean, to the point where you want to cry.
I took 5g and laughed my ego to death, God, just thinking about it makes me want to cry of joy.
Let the mushroom guide you, and change your life, for the better.

I think we should clear up this old misunderstanding that vitamin c increases your trip! It's not true At all, in fact when my dad went to amsterdamn and bought some booms they told him that if it gets to Intense for him to drink milk and or take vitamin c cuz it will bring your trip down and mellow things out. So I then began reading and I'm sorry I forgot where, I think it was tim Leary research or something and it said that there were signs that vitamin c actually helps bring down the efects of psilocin!
Just my 2 cents from a well expeirienced tripped from all hallucinogens!!!!

All I can say is...holy shit.
One recommendation I'd give to you is to make sure you know someone who has ingested the mushrooms prior to yourself/make sure you trust who you're getting them from. Odds are you won't be able to identify the mold on there (if there is any) or if they're even cubes or not.
And if you don't want visuals/fairly minor ones, take the 1.75 grams. You'll have the most intense body high of your life for a few hours and your consciousness will definitely be altered. You just will be less likely to trip out on things you see.

I'm going to have to completely disagree in that I have taken ridiculous amounts of vitamin c and have had incredibly potent trips, more so when not taking vitamin c.

I prefer the just jump in approach. It is cold for a while, but then it is very nice once you get used to it.

Since you are new to shrooming, let me offer you what I wish I would have heard.
Most people use them for recreation, but if you put them into the right experience (like a nature hike or sitting by the ocean) they get a very large multiplier. It depends on how much work are you willing to put in to experience their potential benefits? If you are serious about what they offer (besides teh awesome shiny), you should do some reading and some prep on set and setting first. For example, you've checked all the pharms you may have had in the last 2 months to see if they are compatible with psychedelics, right?
If you just want to see pretty colors take one third to half of one gram and smoke some pot to test your reaction. Some people are acutely sensitive, there is no basis to think your tolerance to other drugs affects your tolerance to shrooms, so take a real low dose expecting to feel very little as an intelligent precaution and a sign to the mushrooms you respect them. Then take less then two grams as a second experience, which should be the one you are looking for. Congrats for deciding to initiate yourself. This is the closest thing to a scientifically validated holy experience there is, which our culture would provide people as a right of passage if we weren't so stupid and repressed about everything. It's your right as a human being and a child of god, good for you for claiming it.
Then, after being led to shrooms by promise of teh shiny colors on your low dose, realize everything you believe about reality (down to your conception of who you are) is a lie created by evil people who manipulate our mediocre culture with the intention of hypnotizing you and changing the way your brain works without you realizing it, and learn how to use this technology to wrestle control of your reality away from a culture that wants to keep you stupid, infantile, and distracted, instead of seeing this holy sacrament another way to be distracted. Good luck to you.

One third to one half gram? are you serious? That would be enough to taste the shittiness, and not produce anything.
I've never been one to have visuals or anything, but even that wouldnt change my consciousness at all.

Harrison127:
You are aware that mushrooms do not just make you "high for 4 hours, makes music sound good and some lights changing and stuff" or produce a "good high like happy laughing and some minor visuals", right?. It might do just that, but it might be a surprisingly profound and possibly deeply frightening experience as well. Really, you should consider this aspect of it. And then consider it again.
But; if you choose to go through with it, I wish you all the luck in the world  .
BTW, dare I ask how old you are? Feel free to not answer this question, if you don't feel like it  .

That's the idea. Some people are acutely sensitive, so a small dose to calibrate sensitivity first is a good precaution.
