Stems and Caps, is there a difference? (plus more)

I know this has probably been gone over before, but I have searched and didn't find anything. This Saturday will be my first time using shrooms and I just wanted to know if taking more stems or taking more caps will make you hallucinate more? I have heard a bunch of rumors about caps making more of a difference, but I was not sure.
Also, I am taking a half 1/8, is that a good amount for my first time? Around what level will that get me too? And one more silly question... If you had a choice of 4 little stems and a cap, or 1 big stem and a cap (each weigh the same) which one would you pick?
Any help would be appreciated thanks...

Stems and caps are about equal in potency.
Half an 8th seems a little low if you want any kind of visuals.It's almost impossible to say though.How sensentive are you to psilocin? How potent are the shrooms? Are they fully "cracker dry"? You get the idea. You're not going to get a good answer from anyone online.

thats true, but supposedly they are "bomb" shrooms, and this guy is a pro so they are dry as hell. But that's the thing, I am new so I don't know how sensitive I am to psilocin.

I agree, just start out at 1/16. If they're good as the guys says they are, you'll have a good old time.

Have you done your research? Read the Erowid mushroom vault,etc.. If your setting is good and you don't have any mental problems,I would go balls to the wall and eat about 3 grams.Most bad trips are just panic attacks and a little alcohol or some Zanax can help bring you down if your trip takes a turn for the worse. Remember,you shouldn't eat shrooms just to get "fucked up",they are a very sacred thing.

I would.. but shrooms are not that easy to find, and I have what I have, so not much I can do. And I am not just doing it to get fucked up.. I have wanted to try shrooms for a few years now, and I want to make sure I dont waste a good opportunity..

Potency between stems and caps is pretty much the same. Choose the one weighs more. And in my opinion, I'd take the whole 8, but if you haven't tripped a lot then just take half an 8.

I think there is a difference in potientcy if you eating Amanita Muscaria in which that case the caps are more potient...but I don't think you'll be eating those...if your trippin for the first time you should eat around a gram or 2 so you can get fimliar with the effects...
