First Timer. . .looking for basic info

Well, I've been reading through everything I can get my entranced eyes on for the past few days, and a friend of mine and I are planning to try shrooms soon.
Psilocybe Cubensis grows fairly readily around here , but I'm curious as to a general number of fresh shrooms a beginner should use. 1.75g seems to be an agreed-upon measure, but about how many actual mushrooms would that be?
As far as level, I'm thinking high 2 to mid 3 would be interesting to go for. . . Getting excited already
I'm Chris, by the way... anyone else near Hawthorne, FL?

well if your talking about fresh mushrooms, 1.75 grams would be about .175 grams or less dry. for a good level two or a first time dose, go with 2 grams dry, that's about 20-25 grams fresh. I also can't tell you how many mushrooms that would be, they all very greatly in size, and you would need a scale to accurately measure out the quantity your looking for.

Okay, that makes more sense.. I kept thinking.. how the hell would 1.75 grams fresh be anywhere near enough
25 sounds more reasonable

Hey Chris. Whatever you decide to do, DO HALF, let that settle in for about 45 minutes, then do the other half. It's not wise to go for broke when it's your first time AND there's not an experienced person there to guide you. Happy trails!

In reply to:

i do not agree with this. if you wait, it is my belief that your trip will not be as intense, merely extended. eat your entire dose in one sitting, or one drawn out sitting (say, over the time period of 30 minutes)
i'd recommend 1.75g dry, or about 20 grams wet for a first time dose. have a good trip
(this will be moved to the general questions forum)

I'm going to back up geokills on this - DO NOT take some, then go "damn its not working" and take more.
Take the chosen amount ALL AT ONCE. in my opoinion it is a waste to split your dose - the later dose won't work nearly as well, and you end up wasting at least a small amount of shrooms which = money.
-=- Matt/Strumpling -=- not to mention you spend part of your trip getting up and taking more shrooms.
-------------------- Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me. In addition: SHPONGLE
