4/20 dose for 1st timer

This 4/20 a group of approx 6 people. 5 of us are shrooming and one of my buddies g/f is going to be our sober sitter, but she will be smoking weed. (she REALLY trips out on weed...). No one will be coming home until 4PM at our shroom house, so we were going to shroom early in the morning, watch the world wake up with its beautiful tangerine sky. After we come down (we're hoping around 4PM) we're going to break out our half o of dank for the rest of the day. Two people (my brother and another guy) have shroomed before. Most are average size guys, but my brother and I are pretty big. I'm personally 6'6" and weigh 280lbs. My brother will be taking 5 grams, but has previous experience. I was just curious to what dosage I should take for 4/20. I personally want to have a very VERY powerful trip. I want to be blown away...and at the same time still in control. My brother has had a bad trip...I definately do not want to go there. If it matters, I'm a very frequent bud smoker (3+ sessions every day), but that is all I've done.
So my question to you advanced trippers is, what would a legitimate dose be to achieve what I want but avoid a bad trip? And also on top of that...how does my plan sound for 4/20? Good shroom environment? I plan on just hanging out, playing music, and we're going to watch The Kottonmouth Xperience (very very trippy KMK music videos for those that don't know).
Thanks for any advice, and happy 4/20 to all

Shrooming with that many people is asking for problem. It can get awkard and uncomfortable quick with that many people. Furthermore, you aren't going to have a very powerful trip and stay in control. The trip is about surrendering conrol, not retaining it. A legitamite dose for a mind blowing trip that leaves you in control and evades the possibility of a bad trip? No such dose, no such dose.

In control as far as avoiding a bad trip, not in control of where the shrooms take me.

The best thing you can do is just relax, don't worry yourself. Do not try to control everything, go with the flow. Do not fight the experience, trust me. Take the yin and the yang, accept it. Don't be so hung up about having a "good" or "bad" experience. Just in a comfortable setting with a good mindset, you'll love it.

With shrooms, as with any psychedelic, if you hope to retain any element of control, then you shouldn't take it. A major part of the psychedelic experience is simply letting go: letting the shroom (or other substance) take you where it's going to take you. If you have a "bad trip" then accept it, embrace it, become it, and leave a wiser person. I personally believe that there is no such thing as a bad trip, because I've found I learn alot from bad trips.
Relax and float downstream...it is not dying.

Good luck. I'd take 3.5 grams if I was in your position.

Thanks for the advice so far, it will definately come into play for all of us. Another thing I'd like to comment about the amount of people is we're all friends, close friends, smoke weed together every day pretty much. I don't think that will mess with our trip in any way. Thanks again everyone
