1st Timer - What's the MAX I should take?

Hello to all!
I'll just start off by saying I did check the forum before posting this, but my question is a bit more specific.
From what I've read, most people need about 2 to 3 grams for their first time. That said, I have a high tolerance for any drug (street or OTC). I'm a big guy.. I'm 6ft1 and about 265lbs.
Anyways... I'm trying to see what I should limit myself to. What's too much for a first timer? I don't want to push it, but I do want a level 2 or 3 trip. Is 4 grams reasonable? I want to be safe and not OD here.. lol. And yes I have a good mindset and am not really too worried about a bad trip unless i hit level 5. I'll start with 2.5 probably but where should I stop before I get in to too high of a dose for a first timer?
Here's a pic of what we're taking (it's not all for me lol). No clue what strain or whatever these are.. but I'm sure you guys will. Hopefully this helps you answer. Bigger picture: http://postimg.org/image/mgghhl3s1/full/

Thanks in advance! And sorry if this is in the wrong place.

I would say no more than an eighth (3.5 grams) to start with. Just get a feel for it, and an eighth will definitely let you know what the mushrooms are about. You seem responsible and have a good mindset about it, and as long as you are in a good setting, I would start off with 3-3.5 grams.

I would take it in two halves. 1.5, then another 1.5. See how you feel about it then next time, take it in one go. It can be a really full on experience (depending on the shrooms) and might be better for some to start this way.

Please tell me you didn't actually mean overdose as in dying.
I'm going with black sunset, 2.5g and don't redose. Wait a couple weeks and take it up a notch if you didn't get the experience you wanted.

Lol no - More so taking way too much and having a horrible time. For example, I have 3 quarters so if I ate all that, I'd consider that a Shroom OD lol.
Alrighty, well it looks like i'll stick to my original plan and I'll post my experience next week.
Thanks boys!

I did 3.5g my first time and every time so far after that and have enjoyed every time.
2.5 should be nice though if that's what your final decision is.

If you want to do it RIGHT you'll go for a dose that first puts you under 10mg psilocybin and then, after an hour and a half have passed, take the same amount again to go over. 2x 1.3 grams does that nicely, most of the time.
People recommending an eighth ounce for your first time out are a bit macho.
Almost all literature since the 60s recommends 10-20mg psilocybin. 1/8 oz of Cubensis mushrooms contains 21mg on average but it can be as much as 40. A bit macho to start off with the maximum recommendation with risk of going way over, isnt it?
If you want a one dose wonder, 2 grams should always satisfy, ranging from "interesting" to "mindblowing".
According to The Great Mishroom Poll, over half of almost 5300 Shroomerites recommend 2 grams or less to a beginner.

None of you guys even asked what species! The image wont work for me so I can't tell what you have but an 1/8 of Cyanascens would be a lot different to an 1/8 or Cubensis.

I ate a dime( roughly 1.8) and it wasn't enough, mild visual effects and music sounded funny.

He asked for the MAX; for a first timer: I would say 3 - 3.5g also.
Like Acapuchinu, however, that is the only dose I have ever taken: maybe I'm biased.
Next time I'm going 4g+
-------------------- Favorite entheogen experiences in descending order: 1)Combo of oral DMT + smoked Bufotenine 2)Amanita (urine drank twice) 3)Mushrooms > Achuma 16"+cid(still need higher dose Achuma)> Cid (still need high dose) 4)Morning Glory-HBWR (+cumin, cinnamon aldehyde adducts) > Methyl chavicol (need more activators) 5)Salvia (need to try quid)
All readable matter in the above post is ficticious... any similarities to real life are purely coincidental. Blessing.

I'm so shocked when people recommend 3-4g for someones first trip... don't go over 2g. my boyfriend, who's 160 lbs, took 2g for his first trip with me and he was overwhelmed with how intense it was

3-3.5 gm
But ... Don't suggest it
Read up, don't under estimate mushrooms... It's not like pot or booze

Don't go over an eighth for sure. 4 grams is a VERY strong trip. You may be a hardhead for most drugs, but this isn't like most drugs. Take 2.5-3.5 and no more.

No one's even confirmed the shrooms yet. The link doesn't seem to be working.
I would recommend 2 grams (if cubensis) for your first trip, enjoy
