Introducing someone to psychedelics

Back in April, I met a really cool girl who likes to smoke pot, but has not tried anything else. I am just a fungi if you know what I mean. We have been dating since then and in a relationship since the beginning of May. She seems to be really curious about shrooms and interested in trying them after I shared with her about my numerous experiences. She did say she might want to try them; She said she turned down offers to try them in the past because of the stigmas attached to psychedelics; I guess she has heard a few horror stories about bad trips. Another concern she has is that she would have to confront demons from her past. In essence, she just had a bad childhood. I don't know all the details. But hey, I had a rough childhood, too. To be honest, I was hoping I would resolve a few repressed feelings from tripping, but they just haven't come up yet. I know you can't really control or predict what will happen, though.
She has asked if I like tripping around other people, which sounds like she wants to watch me trip. I told her honestly no I don't because most people tend to make me anxious with their behavior and ruin my trip. I told her I think I'd like being around her though because she is actually pretty cool. My ex was not - she brought me down during the few trips I took with/around her. I can just tell from being around this girl that I would be ok with her around.
If she does decide she wants to trip, I really want to accommodate her and give her the best experience, though. And honestly, I think she really wants to and probably will, so I want to prepare for it. Let me just kind of outline my intentions/plan and I hope you guys can give me some suggestions? I am very open-minded about this.
Set/setting - would be indoors - my apartment during the morning. She has indicated she'd be most comfortable doing them in the morning and thinks it would be cool to do it outside (but I think outside is a bad idea without any experience especially because of local law enforcement).
I'd give her 1.5-2g. She is pretty short in stature and has a low tolerance to alcohol, so I wonder if maybe the dose should be smaller. I would be there as a sitter and would maybe take a low (2g for me) dose. I am wondering if maybe it would be better to be completely sober, though.
I have a pretty chill laid back playlist for tripping that I think she would really like. Shpongle is in there ;-)
On the come up, I'd like to have something planned to help take the edge off for her (I doubt she would bring pot and I don't smoke). I think once she has taken them and we have moved on to the next thing, we would have a pretty good, deep conversation. Maybe we could play cards or something - whatever it is, I want to avoid things like video games or TV.
Once the trip has taken hold, I would just let the experience guide her (and me).

Sounds like you really put some thought into it, and I must say, sounds like a pretty good and reasonable plan.
The only thing that you could do different, is being outside wouldn't be too bad, as long as you had somewhere safe and comfortable to be, but if you would have to be in public doing them then yeah I'd agree inside is the best bet.
1.5-2g wouldn't or at least shouldn't be too much for her to handle and that's a pretty good dose for a first time if someone is unsure.
Edit: Even if you or her has weed, I wouldn't recommend her smoking during her trip, can really make it intense and sometimes too confusing. If you are worried about nausea or having a rough come up you could always make a tea out of it or try tthe lemon tek.
And I personally would recommend at least taking a few grams yourself, I hate being around sober people tripping, I feel like they're judging me or something evne if they're not or like they think I'm being a weirdo or something which can really prevent me from fully enjoying it, but if you're both tripping you'll probably end up laughing really hard together and be way easier to relate to each other since you'll be feeling the same things. As long as you trust yourself to handle a few grams and still maybe talk her out of a bad trip if one happens to arise (I don't think it would, but you never know), plus on 1.5g or 2g she probably wouldn't freak out even if it turned bad, IME it just isn't intense enough at that dose to really throw you over the edge.

Glad to hear it sounds reasonable! I think it would be really cool to trip outside but yeah it would be in public in that case. We could go out of town to a state park or something.
Thanks for the tip on pot - I had no idea. I've never smoked but people have suggested it to take the edge off a trip.
Most of my trips have been 3.5-5g, but I have had about 4 experiences that at least started out as low dose. Don't remember getting paranoid or anything and I never really lost control. I didn't really notice the effects until about 2g though!

Rad! my recent psychedelic experiences with my girlfriend have been awesome! she was a little overwhelmed a couple of the times but its always short lived and it's mostly an amazing euphoric experience. I feel that it has brought us closer together. how can you not be closer after sharing such a spiritual experience. love and light! :-)we actually did 3.5 grams each at a Shpongle show a couple months back and it was mind blowing :-)! Have fun dude :-)!

Just curious voodoochild, what did you dose her at? I'd love to see Shpongle live; I missed a show in a nearby city a few months back.
