Eighths are about 35 bones here. It varies though.
I'd suggest you take a half eighth since you dont seem to know that much about it. Learn more before you take them. www.erowid.org

Definitly take a half an eighth, an eighth will throw you into a new world. I suggest reading some trip reports, generally off a 20 you are anywhere from Level 1-3, but thats GENERALLY, my first time I ate a 20 and smoked 4 bowls of dank shit and def. hit atleast a level 4. Peace and happy shrooming

I live in northern IL. It should probably cost 25-30 dollars per 1/8th. If you are dealing with needy dealers you might end up paying 35.
Id think you should take 1.8-2 grams and eat the 1.5 or so later(when you feel ready). If you feel youself coming down and dont want to, an extra 1.5 or so can do a whole hell of alot.
My first time I used shrooms I had taken acid about 30 times. Lots of VERY high doses. 1.75 grams of shrooms still made me think, "wow, holy shit"......
I wouldnt take a full eighth your first time if I was you. Thats just my opinion.

Yage's right on prices in northern illinois. I wouldn't pay more than $30 for an eighth of mushrooms, especially in Illinois.

25 will get you an eighth in Eastern Canada if you've got a well-to-do dealer.
As for dosage, I'd say anywhere between 1 gram and 2. I took around a gram and a half my first time, before experiencing pot or alcohol, and I felt I could have handled more.
However, if you're in the least bit hesitant to take that much, there's nothing wrong with lowering the dose.
If you feel you'd like to ease into mushrooms, by all means, 1 gram. If you feel more inclined to take something borderline unpleasant, 2 grams is a good bet.
At any rate, it's your call.
Good vibes for your trip.

1.5, 1.8, 2, 3.5g??? You guys are nuts? How is this guy supposed to weight out to 1/10th of grams? I didn't have digital scale for a years and years. Friends, you say? if he has a friend with a scale, he should have an access to a good sitter.
Here's my suggestion. Get the proper preparation done. Peace of mind is the most important thing. If you have a good sitter who isn't going to bail out on you, take the eight. Many many many of us plunged in with 1/8th+ under the pretence that we were experienced with other stuff.
If you don't have a reliable sitter or plan on have extensive roaming/socializing involved, take 1/16th. If anything feels not right, don't do it. These still hold true for many experienced shroomers,(well, we cheat the sitter part often) because of safety, and it shouldn't be any different for you. Stay safe.

1/16th is 1.75g. Maybe I should've said 1/2 of 1/8?
This 1.5, 1.8, 2g precision is trivial to new people as strett level slingers counting mics on acid. At certain point in my life, I've used pennies(2.5g) and homemade balances to weigh stuff out only to be eating the rest 30min later. Just keep things simple for new guys. Buy by 1/8th, do it by 1/2 of that or whole. All this precision makes shrooming sound like exact science,(actually the absolute opposite IMO) and that extra .1g would make enough difference to merit diversion away from things like sitter and mindset. Just my opinion, though. Keep it simple and keep it safe. *shrug*

Ah, alright, my bad.
As long as he's taking a reasonable amount and feels comfortable with his dose, everything is cool.

I would say take 2.5 if you feel you're a fairly mature individual and think you can handle yourself... my first time I took 1.5 and was actually mad with myself for not taking more, I was pissed off because I wanted to be tripping hard, but was only feeling slightly shifted from reality. Of course you've all the time in the world to have another try at a higher dosage and just stay reasonable now, but 2.5 is completely reasonable for a beginner and you're less likely to be kicking your ass during the mild trip for under-dosing.

Oh, as for what to expect... don't expect much, as thats the rule of thumbs with anything new, especially psychedelics. But some general expectations are: Constant Sidetrackedness (It takes me about 5 minutes to go through my backpack to find my discman when on mush), Quickly changing emotions... during my first trip I really found I was all over the place emotionally, not all negative, but sometimes depressed, but I never really got this in any other trip so far.
Have you planned your trip environment at all? I suggest not tripping around aquaintences... but if you've got some good friends then its better. I also suggest going for a long walk with some really good music while peaking, preferably Pink Floyd. You should get alot out of that. Good luck with your trip, be sure to post a report when you've been chemically sorted out.

im gettin pissed. the kid hasnt got back to me yet. i asked him if could hook me up, no reply. i then asked why he didnt reply, and told him i wasnt kiddin.
either he's ignoring me or just lazy, im hoping for the latter.
I have a full Saturday open for anything, and I dont want to just robo-trip, it would be a letdown for me....
should i be a nag until i get it or just let it happen? keep in mind ive had no experience, ive never had to question people to hook me up with some shit.
any advice?
