Divin right in.

Yo, so basically I just wanted to get feedback on what I am doing to see if anyone had any words on it.
So this is what I am doing, and with it I am hoping to discover my own feather bed.
I've got some golden teachers under the stairs that I started 3 days ago. I've had a couple mushroom experiences in the past, however it was at a time when I did not understand the mushroom and was in fact largely unaware of how big of a deal I was involved in. I was also taking low doses.
My plan as it stands currently that I produce my own spawn and with my intention set right, I will be taking 5 dried grams when I am feeling the most positive and open, hopefully around my birthday which coincides with the end of the year, and I will match that to lunar cycles.
My past experiences were all about I believe 2-2.5 grams each I honestly can hardly remember. I just know there were a bunch of feelings, pretty colours, but only enhanced. I didn't know it went deeper than maybe seeing some shit.

Be prepared to have your world rocked. I would suggest practicing some kinda meditation (zen, vipassana, etc) for a couple weeks ahead of time to prepare yourself. It's important to be able to give up control and that can be a really hard thing for people to do in their first heavy duty sessions.
Good luck. There's lots of good folks here who can help steer you in the right direction. People will get annoyed though if you ask 1001 dumb questions without doing the research yourself. Read all the FAQs and use the search engine and you can find that most of your questions have been answered before. Welcome to the Shroomery.

control of your mind. I think that's where most people will have a bad time on large doses is trying to fight it. You just have to give in to it.

During a heavy trip the mind/ego naturally fights to maintain control
It's difficult finding the strength to let yourself dissolve though I came close once but it scared me and I pulled myself out of it

eh, i'm gonna disagree OP. Your mind is your own, and I wouldn't let any random drug shit bubbling from the subconscious take control.
Altered states can like, be forceful in their strength, but its always a dialogue that you have say in .

I tend to fight shrooms tooth and nail. Most every experience I have with shrooms is difficult to say the least. Feel like I'm going insane and am desperately clinging to maintain normalcy. It's hard to just surrender yourself to the experience. The one time I managed to actually do it, it was just fucking beautiful.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Eat two 10-strips of potent LSD at once and tell me you can maintain control

Its good that you recognize this Shroomslip. Me too, after 21 years of mushroom use its still very hard for me to relax under their influence. I fare better under 2C-E and Mescaline.
Mushrooms deeply affect me. Three quarter grams of cubies can blow my mind sky high. Can uproot my ego.
Its mushrooms though.
In normal doses, toxicity isnt much of an issue, aint gonna go blind, you'll come out with all ten toes.
Golden rules for shroom use:
Mind your blood sugar, fluid levels, and don't just jump up after hours of sitting motionless. You may faint if you don't, or get anxiety of biologic origin. Fruit juices, bananas, water, milk are the best.
Be cautious about your doses. Whats good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander. Dosage increases the intensity and a trip thats more intense than you are ready for can be very unpleasant.
Mushrooms are among THE BEST entheogens. They affect mood strongly, are of intermediate duration and are low in toxicity. Respect the shit out of them. They will kick your ass if you don't.
Likewise, KICK ASS WHEN ON MUSHROOMS. Be Yang about things. Don't cower or be halfassed. Don't Yin out on it, Yang it. Ride the wild buffalo and prepare to rock, even if the rock is 1980s christian hair metal
Prepare well for a mushroom trip. Don't be casual about it, don't trip under circumstances that are meh or with people who are meh.
A trip can set you alight for weeks after it is over. This can be for good or for bad. You can sing all through the day or bemoan the woes of your existence. Its that important to make every trip the best possible trip.

You have to assume he's going to if he has his own grow and what not
I definitely would

He said he was gonna take 5 grams of mushrooms for his first large dose. For me anyways, that can be a bit overwhelming if not properly prepared.

5 dried grams is WAY too much for a newbie. I have to seriously commit to be using 5 grams of shrooms over a YEAR.
Don't be an hero. 3.5grams of cubes, one eighth, rocks you like a hurricane if you are normal and have no tolerance. ON AVERAGE it contains 21mg psilocybin. Normal doses are 8-20mg.

Definitely take Asante's advice OP. I would never take more then 3 grams again. 3 can do everything and more. When I was young and very stupid I kept raising the dose because they never checked me. I ended up taking 20+ grams in extract form. It was Love as usual then A switch flipped, Holy hell it was torture.
MODERATION IS KEY 
edit: I have dain bramage fo sho.
