heya,
so I'm a recent convert to this forum, recently from the mush cult sub-forum. I've had my share of trips, LSD 20+ times, mushrooms 50+ times, dmt 3 times, lots of good weed.
What sends me on a trip about this sub-forum is that a lot of the time I am lurking threads and see people post START SMALL. Like psychedelics are something to FEAR. I don't understand this, for the most part. Obviously I am aware that some people are not designed for the psychedelic experience like the mentally handicap. BUT, if someone is posting about psychedelics CHANCES ARE they are seeking it out and are going to take it.
I often see people saying take like 2 grams. Seriously? this does not even give a FULL effect of the experience. Maybe my views are one sided. But holy crap if I am trying to have a GOOD time with some buddies or alone what experienced tripper among us would say a couple grams is a good dose? (personally)FUCK THAT. HAHAHHA.
Also I see people say: the drug will be there later on. duh. I don't like this thinking. life may be long, but MAYBE NOT. I mean I am sure someone will come through with a story about how glad they where to start with half a mushroom and what a great time they had so the next time they ate a whole one but I mean come on. These are some powerful substances and EXPERIENCES that are worth exploring IN DEPTH not to just scratch the surface.
Maybe I am thinking too personally. That if my first time around someone gave me half a tab of lsd or a gram of mushrooms I wouldn't have thought MUCH of them. Shit I can eat three grams of cubes and function FINE might have a smile on but seeing some softer tones and more vibrant color. Not to say I should have taken three grams the first time and tried to drive. But shit, real talk, telling a first timer to start slow is like cheating them. When taking a trip you GO THERE, you don't go a quarter or half way, linger, then come back. 
anyways hope you enjoyed reading, see you in hyperspace.

IMO, a small dose does not prepare you for a large dose. My first couple of times, I took a half tab of acid. Then I though I was prepared, so I took 2 doses. Holy shit, what a difference! Nothing could have prepared me for that trip other than previous real trips. I was not prepared. And, that being said, I kept coming back for more. So, I do agree with OP. Buy the ticket, take the ride.
