First trip almost here: final words of wisdom?

Hi Shroomery,
I'm going to be tripping for the first time very soon with a couple of close friends. I'm so excited! I've heard that it's best to do in nature so my friends and I have planned an overnight trip to one of the United States most beautiful national parks for the experience.
Dosage wise I was thinking a 1/4 of an ounce between three people? That's about 2.3 grams per person. I understand that it's best to stick to a lower dose the first time, but at the same time I'd would like to push my experience to the furthest reasonable point without going to a scary place.
I'm not exactly sure on the species but if I'd have to guess it would probably be Psylocybe Cubensis?
I've also heard that some people have problems with nausea/keeping the mushrooms down so I'm going to try to bring ginger and a little bit of weed to smoke right after ingestion. Not so much weed that I get too high but enough to feel the medicinal properties of the herb that help keep food down.
I'm also going through some final internal debates on which method would be best for ingestion. I'm thinking either mushroom tea or putting them in a small peanut butter sandwich to eat or something. On one hand, tea would probably be easier than just plain eating but can I be sure that I'm extracting all of the active chemical when I let the mushrooms soak in hot water for a few minutes? I'm not sure.
It seems like if I tried to get the active chemical out through it soaking into the hot water there would still be a little left in the mushrooms, which almost seems like a waste of money and would diminish a fun night.
But I'm probably wrong, please, I'd love to hear Shroomery's input and final words of wisdom before my friends and I take this (hopefully) wonderful journey. Thanks.

if your worried about nausea making a tea has always helped mine, i usually end up throwing up if i eat them straight but with a tea its smooth sailing, at least for me.

Cubes never bothered my belly, but cyans always give me a bit of rotgut and belches + farts (which is fun, but not when you're trying to have a spiritual moment).
Tea, simmered for 40 minutes, chilled in the frige, then add lemon (about 1/2 to 3/4 for the amount you're using). Wait 15 min and gulp it down.
Enjoy.
I assume you're going to be in Yosemite, which is the most beautiful Nat. Park in the universe.

Sounds like you have a great time planned.
As far as eating them the easiest way for me is throwing them in a coffee grinder then adding it into a cup with a bit of juice, stir and drink down. Heck, even gatorade works well. I think it helps the stomach also, less material for it to break down.

Funny, I have not had cyans yet, but I always know when I am starting to come down from cubies. I can hear/feel my insides rumble then a bit later the farts happen. Which is usually around the 6 hour mark.

Have fun! Sounds like a great place for the experience - though we shy away from dosage advice (too many unknown variables), if it was me, that sounds like a good amount for me...

I wish I was tripping at Yosemite! We're actually going to Joshua Tree which is about an hour away from my house. It's not my favorite Nat. Park but it has some pretty cool views

ok. I tripped. I might write up a full trip report later but just know now that the highlight of the trip (crazy-factor wise) was me licking a cactus.
