I'm a 61 year old man who is a lifelong cannabis user, but want to experience a light mushroom trip. My partner and I bought 1/8 oz. of cubies of which I plan to consume 1 gm. I would appreciate any trip guidance. My appreciation to all the contributors of this forum.

IMO homegrown shrooms are way better that street bought. but none the less. Your not gona be able to trip a little if thats what you are thinking i was the same way my first time with mushes. Just plan a activity(Music,dvd, look at the stars etc.) that will help you pass time while tripping so if you ened up not liking them or whatever you have something to do and it will be over before you kno it.

I would go with half an eighth each if I were you. One gram is almost always extremely mild; by mild I mean almost nothing happens. If you smoke cannabis regularly you'll barely notice it.

If you smoke cannabis regularly you'll barely notice what? That doesn't make sense.
In my experience, yes, a gram is a very light dose, but I've still always gotten patterning effects and peoples faces would still change off just a gram. I recommend taking between 1.5-2g, it will be nice and shouldn't be too overwhelming.

1 gram of cubensis is barely past the threshold barrier, really. I wouldn't recommend it. I am only 40, but I have almost 25 years of mushroom tripping experience and let me tell you, take that half 8th. You won't regret it.

"It", referring to the effects of a gram of mushrooms.

When do you plan on taking the mushrooms? Maybe you should do a bit more than a gram. I'd say take half of the eighth.

Thanks for the recommendation. We plan on a nocturnal trip with some Brian Eno, candles and kaleidoscopes. Also, ginger tea as a chaser.
Peace to all my fellow mycophiles
ps. Personal Recomendation: Ron Mann's documentary "Know Your Mushrooms" is very informative and entertaining.

Greetings! I recommend you to proceed with either the 1gr or even 1/2gr,and after an hour and a half deciding whether you want more. Typically doubling the dose, no matter how much, opens up a whole new realm.
Be advised that its my observation that the later people start with psychedelics, the less they tend to need. There is more YOU to be affected by the Mushroom, a gram will affect someone with 61 years of life experience a lot more than someone with 21 years of life experience.
A really good guide for tripping is under the link BEST TRIPPING MANUAL in my signature, and The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley makes interesting reading as he too emberked on his journeys at a later age than most members here.
Cheers for taking on new horizons at your respectable age, good luck!

Thank you for the sage advice. I was planning on proceeding along your lines of suggestion. I will let you know how the journey transpired. My surroundings will be a nocturnal home setting with candles, Nag Champa incense, Shpongle or Orb music and ginger tea. I will check out your "Tripping Manual".

Have some cannabis, too. Especially if you're going with such a low dose.

While I TOTALLY respect the advice of Wiccan_Seeker, 1 gram sounds like a complete waste of time, set, and setting. I'm a virtual peer (I'm 58) and 2 grams is a barely noticeable departure from consensual reality.
1 gram would be a waste of...1 gram plus time and effort. I recommend 2 grams as a starting point. For additional data point(s), I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 180lbs.
With most molecules, I counsel low starting doses. I consider 2 grams a pretty "below average" initial dose. The final decision, of course, is yours.
Do be sure to report back. P.S. You DO have an accurate scale, right???

I'd like to add here that you can get a scale accurate to 0.001-0.010 for under $30, the one I have is most definitely flawless for grams. Its a little shaky in the 5-10mg range but grams are a no brainer.

alright if you have no scale you have to chop it up to visually separate it oh well, you can just be brave 61 is 1 and 1/2 years more than me. I am a light head, so 1 gm is fun. you could do more but you don't need to.
bear in mind that these affect the mind, mind can relax the body and that is the area of work and learning.
essentially this stuff is not toxic so there is really nothing to fear. really.
you need to acclimate perhaps to the unlimited nature of psychs, but you are no different than a 30 year old explorer, except maybe more patient and hopefully a bit more tolerant of your own inconsistencies.
