My first shroom experience and questions!

First off hey Shroomery! I was a lurker here for a couple months trying to research about shrooms and read trip reports. I had my first taste of shrooms yesterday and man was it an experience...and that's why I finally decided to sign up here. I bought an "eighth" but I didn't have a scale so I just went with it. It was about 12 skinny and short shrooms with stems and caps.
The only experiences I have had with any substances are cannabis and alcohol. I don't really drink but I do like to smoke every few weeks. I think smoking weed sorta helped with handling the weird thoughts and body high. I remember thinking to myself that everything felt kinda normal although I did not feel normal at all I was definitely tripping pretty well. It just seemed like everything was fine and under control.
So I ate the shrooms by themselves and I was by myself(I was chatting with a few friends online though). In the first 30 minutes I started climbing up and up and my mind slowly changed perspective. It seemed similar to a cannabis edible high at first. I started feeling tingly and when I got up to walk it felt like I was on an axis. Some objects in my field of vision started to expand slightly. This went on for the first hour and after that I started the trip. I felt so happy and all these thoughts hit me at once. I was just thinking about how all we do is live then die and everything else was just a distraction until we died. I was thinking about life in general but in a good way. I also heard some audio hallucinations(I think lol).I really didn't have any bad vibes at all. This lasted for a good 3 to 4 hours then I started to notice the effects to die down. Overall the whole experience lasted the whole night because on the comedown I decided to smoke a bowl and that shot me back up.
Anyway, I know I didn't go into much detail but I had a couple of questions. I know I don't know the exact weight of the shrooms I took but it was supposed to be an eighth. I was pretty comfortable with the experience and I kind of want more out of it. I was thinking of taking a higher dose the next time around 5 grams dried. How much different is a "heroic" dose? I want to get to the point to where visuals are full blown and distorted. I want to experience things like meeting entities.
Overall the experience was pretty great and definitely unique. It left me wanting more! If what I took was in fact an eighth and the shrooms were good then I think I can handle more! On that note I really should buy a scale!

Also if I had to rate the experience on the level 1 to 5 scale I would put it at a level 2. I want to experience level 3 and level 4 though. How much shrooms would take me there? I know it varies a lot but what's the common amount in your experiences?

my first experience was an eighth and that shot me up to a level 5, ego death as they call it. they may not have been potent, or maybe you have a higher tolerance, who knows. congrats on your first trip though, it;s good to hear it all went well.

Thanks man! and yeah it could be a lot of things...potency, less shrooms than expected, natural tolerance, etc. There was a heavy body high and some visuals. The way I felt and thought was definitely different than smoking. Probably the "highest" I ever felt.

Good report... Agree... Might want a scale
Higher the dose... The more important the Set and Setting
Glad it went well...

Thanks...sorry to bother you and ask this but do you think what I described is a standard reaction to an actual eighth? I know I didn't go into much detail but I want to see colors and stuff warping and moving.

Its not a good idea to eat five grams just because your first experience was okay. Like you said, you didnt actually scale what you ate.. Next time, weight out the eighth. Then go from there.

Sounds like an experience
Each person has different reactions to mushrooms... For you, that was possible how you react to that mushroom at that time in your life with your diet and tiredness plus your set and settin and other factors taken into account...
So... Could it have been an eighth? Possible... Could it have been more or less... Possible
Don't get to wrapped up in levels by more in what you get out of it...
Peace

isnt it a great feeling to trip for the first time, get incredibly high and realize everything is under control? don't push it. Like others have said, buy another (OR GROW :]) eighth, weigh it to verify and maybe start a trip log  http://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Signature-AWS-100-Digital/dp/B0012LOQUQ

thanks man =) I do plan on buying another eighth and this time be with friends also on eigthths(need to find someone first). I really want to grow shrooms but can't at the moment and unfortunately I live in one of the states that possessing spores is illegal. There are other ways but I can't right now. Anyway is an eighth supposed to give you visuals and what not? I know it varies but I really wanna go a little further in the trip with full blown visuals!

I can't answer if an eighth with produce any visuals for you. I can only suggest you forget about what you're expecting to happen, or what you want to happen, and just eat the damn 3.5gs of magical dope and see what it does for you! again, make a journal so you can keep track of everything in your psychedelic journeys.
