Absolutely take 1/8 of shrooms your first time and stop asking thread. 6

1/8 is the perfect entry point. For cubes anyway.
Anything anyone else says is a lie. We need to stop pussyfooting around mushrooms. The real experience starts at around 3gs. So just take an eighth and call it a day.

waiting to see what Wiccan_Seeker has to say about this. I agree, but one size does not fit all.

I took this dose my first time and was slightly disappointed. I'm definitely in the minority here, but I recommend at least 8g's.

Dont be retarded. This thread is about someones FIRST time with mushrooms, so why even mention 8g?
For any of you new people, dont ever take advice from someone like ^^^

I agree, I think if you are interested in what shrooms have to offer you should really have an experience that will build knowldge of what to expect and actually learn something about yourself and the fungus.
I agree, I always tell people to start at an 1/8 or sometimes if they aren't cubes, I say like 2.5 grams or something. 
I personally don't see why you would want to miss out on a real shroomtrip and take like a gram and then go into your next trip with no real knowldge of what is to be expected.
But, if someone is really iffy about it, and headstrong about starting low, I'm not going to pressure them into doing more then they are comfortable with, but I will try my best to make the comfortable with doing the full 8th
Because thats what friends do!

Sort of depends really.... One size does not fit all... IMHO
Someone who has done acid a few times could be better prepared than someone who has never done psychedelics at all
3-4 gm might be ok for psychedelic experienced users but 2-2.5 gm might be enough for the total novice ...

Establishing this as the "standard" is nothing more than psychedelic penis-measuring chauvinism. It's like the frat bro at a party trying to convince a first-time drinker that they're being a pussy if they're not pounding a six-pack. Plenty of people get exactly the sort of experience they need from smaller (and larger) doses. Not to mention that (1) potency varies and (2) people's individual tolerance and mental fortitude varies. My ex did an eighth her first time on shrooms and had a very bad trip, completely flipped her shit and took a fair amount of time to recover. A 0.5-2g dose does her just fine nowadays.

...each to thair own I know people that have never took moer than two grams and still can expearience level4 trip ofen with less,I figure depends how well you can let go and no fight the expearience..  Don't trust everything you read, think for yourself. For any noobies reading this tread take what ever You want your first time, or any time at that~start low have fun and gain Your own expearience. Safety first, then teamwork! If I gave my 85lb girlfriend an 3.5 of truffles lemon tek or after a short fast she wouldn't be able to talk.. Another girl I know only needs less than a 1/3 of a hit of L... Like I said each to his/her own though

I took 4g and let me say, I would've been absolutely disappointed taking less than 3.5g... If you slowly ease into the experience, you'll NEVER get to experience the initial "Holy fuck, so this is shrooms!!". And honestly, my first experience was the best damn experience I've ever had with shrooms, wouldn't you like to say the same?

I'm slowly working my way up to an eighth, and I'm really glad I'm taking it slow.

(First post, weeoo)
My first time was in the 6-7 gram area.. While I look back now and think of it as the best time/trip of my life so far, I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me apprehensive the next few times I did shrooms. There definitely was very bad parts of that trip. Made me anxious during the come up, but it does give you that respect for them.
On the same note, we gave a buddy 1.5 g of shake from the bottom of the bag and he couldn't talk properly for 3 or so hours . He's pretty slender though. I don't think a one size fits all is the way to go. If you're 100 lbs wet, all skin and bones, 3.5 of potent shrooms could very well be a bad time.

Agreed tenfold.
As scary as it is, going headfirst into 3-4gs is IMO the best way to meet the mushroom. When you "work your way up" youre just dicking around.
You can either handle your shit, or you cant. Taking a small beginners dose will teach you nothing about your preparedness.

3.5 is the standard dose around here but its mostly attributed to what Sonamdrukpa was saying. Most of my friends still really don't understand the mushroom and I'd say its the half quarter that makes em or brakes em but its really just the vibe of the huge group of friends.

One dose doesn't fit all and trying to use your experience as a standard unit of measurement to make a blanket dosage is very irresponsible. I've never taken less than an 1/8, but partied with two girls in the army that split 1/8 and always tripped to the point when they did talk it was almost cryptic babble. Another dude my size ate 1/4s. I would say anything less than a gram isnt worth it but a gram or two is fine. Under 100 start with a gram if you want to remain modest. 150 2 g. Pushing 200 hit the 1/8. If you are looking for the real trip, visuals and accept the risk do an 1/8. Just because I want vines growing on breathing walls and periods of cosmic realizations doesn't mean every one does. Maybe they just want passing visuals and deeper than normal thoughts.

The first time I did 3.5g I ended up lost on the side of the road miles away from the area we were hiking..... I couldn't communicate with anyone for the first couple hours of the trip.... I think its a good starting point but I would definitely make sure the person understands just how much of an ass kicking they may be in for.
