Level 0 trip. Trip to no where.

Hello all!
This is my first post and it's about my first ever attempt at tripping which unfortunately went rather disappointingly.
So a bit scene setting first of all.
I'm a 30 year old male weighing about 80kg. Absolutely zero experience with psychedelics or any other drug for that matter. Never tried weed and gave up drinking about 10 years ago.
Have been increasingly interested in the affects of psilocybin and it's use in self exploration. Have been reading many trip reports on shroomy and the vast amounts of useful information posted up. Finally decided to take the plunge myself and try a trip.
Due to the difficulty in getting a hold of shrooms, I opted to go for some truffles, 15g of philosophers stone order from the net.
As my interest is from a self exploration perspective I set up my surroundings suited to the goal. That is at home, dim lighting, no disturbances soft relaxing music playing etc. I had lunch at around 1pm and then nothing to eat until consuming the truffle at 6pm ish. Drank a reasonable amount of water between 1 and 6 but consumed nothing else.
So ate the stuff at 6pm. Chewed down well as widely advised. Definitely the right stuff as far as I could tell, tasted pretty bad with a weird sour after taste. Only ate 10 g of the 15g packet as I was very aware that I have no experience at all with an awareness altering substance so wanted to be reasonably cautious.
After eating I tried to meditate for a while but trying to relax proved unfruitful. To much anticipation anxiety and excitement of what lay ahead. I lay back with my eyes closed and waited.. And waited... And waited.
To cut a long storey short nothing happened.. No trip!
After an hour or so I felt quite nauseous, arms and legs felt quite numb and at most probably two hours in I felt quite clouded/numb and perhaps a little drunk even (Although I only vaguely remember what being drunk feels like). none of it however was in the least bit pleasant. In fact I would liken it to feeling like a had the flu!
I had spent such a long time before the trip trying to mentally prepare for the journey, constantly telling myself that the mind will play tricks on me and not to be afraid come what may. In the end it became a bit of a running joke. 3 hours in, and after scoffing down the remaining 5 grams I told myself that my mind must be playing a trick on me. In 'reality' i must be off exploring weird and wonderful worlds where my walls are breathing and the carpet is fascinating instead of my actual perceived experience of utter boredom, restlessness and generally feeling a bit crap.
4 hours in and I gave up on anything happening. I turned on the lights, switched my phone back on went down stairs and ate a preorder pizza infront of the tv. I noticed the pizza didn't taste that good and modern family was little funnier then I normally find its but that's about it.That was about 3 hours ago now.
A little confused and disappointed. Order the truffles from what seems like a very reputable company. Given my lack of experience 15 grams should have been more then enough for at least a pleasant few hours if nothing else.
So the question is... Where did I go wrong folks? Are dud truffles common? Should I have snorted them or tried smoking the damn things!
May just try to grow myself some shrooms In the future and try again.

Should grow your own, they'll deliver what you want. Medication counter acts trips, so if you are on meds that's why. Likely you took a tiny dose and got nothing from it. Tons of information on this site and growing your own is super easy, GL!

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not on any medication. 15g of p.s seems to be described as a reasonable dose especially for a beginner.
If nothing else it gave me an experience of pre trip nerves/anxiety. May help reduce the chance of a 'bad' trip in the future I guess.

Growing your own is relatively easy and super fun. Only thing I've had more fun growing than weed. Definitely an experience I'd recommend...not to mention, when you grow your own shrooms it just seems better for some reason. Like you're more at one or something idk. GL
MOD EDIT: don't post sources, next time i'm banning you from the site..

Sorry you didnt trip but 10grams i assume wet/fresh is a low dose. Im not familiar with the potency of truffles but i know 10g fresh cubes is a low dose. Dont give up and dont be intimidated by the different grow teks its actually pretty easy. Good luck in your future travels!

Well it didn't work but nothing bad happened, so all is good.
Growing your own and taking your weighed out produce as a tea would seem like a good way to go. Cuts down on the nausea.
