First time advice

A few of my friends and I are talking and we decided we would like to take some mushrooms. I have never any kind of drugs before and I have never smoked pot but I would really like to try a mushroom trip. I was curious how many grams I should try for my first trip. I am 5'7 and about 125 pounds. I did some research about the 1-5 levels of trip and I would like to be on level 4 or 5.

I would strongly advise against going for those levels just yet. I suggest you aim for 1-2 just to test the waters.

I was looking to try 3g I figured it would be ok. But based on what you all have said it seems like alot. Would I be ok with 3 or should I not do it.

i think i could have done 3 grams my first time, but i had also been smoking pot and taking ecstasy for years at that point and knew what it was like to be pretty altered.
i would say 1.5-2 grams would be fine for you. itll be a nice trip but it wont be so intense that you will get caught off guard and possibly freak out and have a bad trip.

My favorite saying is "Good things take time". I would much rather someone be disappointed and have to try them again then be one of the few that fuck things up. I believe we have seen this before. Like run through the streets naked and getting arrest for a light note ( I do thing that would be absolutely awesome to do some day tripping, except for the arrest part).
I cant believe you just referenced beer to psychedelics. If you didnt get drunk off two, drink more. If you get really drunk off two, dont drink anymore. There is about an hours worth of time from being drunk to just having a headache. Ive gone from 11pm to 2am being afraid to go to sleep or even go into my house due to an intense trip.
Like I and many have said, go light. A trip can last quite some time. Better to have an ok time and look for a better one than have a bad one and not be able to get out of it for a couple hours.

I'd ignore the level things, they seem kinda pointless to me. I'd go for 3 grams, shouldn't be too intense, but you will get a decent experience.

good advice.
If you're in nature, hiking, etc w/ friends I think 3.5grams for a first time would probably be fucken amazing, but if you're in a house or something with random ppl/party i'd definitly limit myself to say 1.8/2 grams
assuming these are your everyday cubensis

I had smoked weed before I tried mushrooms for the first time and had no experience with hallucinogenic drugs beforehand. I'd say it was a lot for me to handle, and I took 3.5 grams. I wouldn't recommend 3.5 grams at least unless you at least have some experience with some type of drug. Altered states are something you should get used to, and weed is pretty manageable. Of course, I've only done mushrooms and weed, so I can't really speak for anything other than those two, but based on my first experience, I would argue that 3.5 grams might be overdoing it for somebody who's inexperienced.
But of course, it depends on who you are, your set, and your setting. You might have a great time or you might have a bad trip and get a bad introduction to psychedelics. Either way, you'll be fine in the end, so don't worry about it. It's true that you can't overdose on mushrooms, so don't freak out about anything while you're tripping. It'll all pass, and you'll return to normal.

Set and setting. Don't trip at a party with non tripping people to. I'd at least smoke some weed before anyone strong physcedlic can easily caTch you off guard and whoop your ass. Especially if you can't let go and go with the trip.

2 grams.
A level 5 for someone who's never been high before would be catastrophic.

Catastrophic and likely not possible.
Don't shoot so high, OP. To quote the FAQ you probably read, "Level 5 is in a class of its own, you will not reach nirvana just by taking a gigantic dose."
Or a fairly low dose, for that matter.
