Giving my brother mushrooms for the first time

Sorry if I'm not posting this in the right section - I'm new to this whole site. I came across it trying to find advice on the best way to guide my younger brother on his first mushroom trip.
I've been doing them myself for while, and everyone I have ever done them with is already experienced trippers also. So this will be my first time being the “experienced” one helping a newbie. I wouldn’t be as nervous if it was anyone else… but because it is my little brother (he just turned 18) and I’ll be providing him with the shrooms, I feel responsible for whatever the result of the experience is. I know he’s a big boy and can make his own decisions but still as an older sister I’m nervous. Anyway the plan is to meet at my beach house at 5:00 AM (we have to start early because my boyfriend, also an experienced tripper, has to work later tomorrow afternoon, also because I am a morning person and I have found this is when I have some of my best trips), have some breakfast, eat the mushrooms then walk down to the beach to watch the sunrise. This is something I do all the time… but again, I’ve been doing this for a while and I know exactly what to expect. So my question is do you think the beach is a good idea? This is where we will be when they start to kick in. I want his come up to be smooth and enjoyable. The beach is my favorite place to trip – peaceful and beautiful. And at this hour we will be alone… but again I just want second opinions if this is a good idea for someone’s first time. We can walk back to the house at any time. Also I was wondering if you all had any other suggestions of activities or things in our environment to prepare to make it as enjoyable as possible for him. We’ll have blankets and chairs and plenty of water, speaker for music – any other suggestions? I know this sounds silly to plan so much for a mushroom trip… I’m so used to just popping them in and going with the flow – but I do remember it being a bit nerve-racking my first few times, so I want to make sure he not only stays safe but has a really awesome experience. I want him to get a good taste of the potential of hallucinogens and how beautiful the experience can be.
Also, as far as I know the only thing he’s down prior to this is weed – which he smokes a ton of.
Anyway sorry if this was long – let me know if you have any suggestions!
Thanks

Yea, that sounds like an enjoyable first trip, what kind of dose will he be taking, I think that's awesome you are putting the effort to try to ensure a positive experience, my first few trips were all very positive, but as we know everybody is different, my gf and I had split an eight about ten years ago and really enjoyed it, but since I've gotten into the growing of it, I've been able to have more experiences, she on the other hand has tried it twice in the past two years, once with 2grams and once with only 1.2grams, and had terrifying experiences, to the point where she wont take them anymore, we listen to a lot of McKenna and others and she hears all these amazing stories about the mushroom, but has to remind herself of what she went through, its kind of a bummer cuz I have the most insanely profound experiences and would love nothing more than to experience that with her, but I think that's me being selfish. So I hope he has a great time, watching the Su come up at the beach must be amazing, sorry for the rant

Thanks! I thought so too - I'm sure he will have a good time and I'm just being a paranoid sister, ha. I'm sorry to hear that your girlfriend doesn't have pleasant experiences, though. I've yet to have a trip so unenjoyable that I wouldn't try again. I almost always have beautiful time... sounds like you are the same. But yeah, like you said, every one is different... so it's good that you can respect that she doesn't enjoy it. That's kind of why I'm nervous about my brother doing it - you just never know how some people will react. He's always been really laid back and doesn't get shook up easy - so hopefully he will do well. And I'm thinking to start him at 2 grams... does that sound good?

Sounds like a good plan to me...maybe keep his dose to around 2 grams and hold off on the mj during the come-up...save it for post-peak time.

Yeah 2g is what I was thinking. Good plan, I don't smoke but I told him to bring some for afterward & also to have just in case he needs it at any point to mellow out.

Yea, I've heard cannabis Is helpful, I smoke on a daily basis, but when I'm trippin, it seems to not have too much of an effect, or maybe its just a different effect, so I try to hold off(I feel like its a waste) but once I've gotten over the peak is when I realm like to spark up, I feel like it helps me navigate my way back, and really soak in what I can

The beach is always a dope place to trip. How much are you gonna give him?

Sounds like some great planning, you seem like quite a caring sister too!
The only suggestion I could think of was some nice relaxing music but sounds like you will have that covered too 
I hope you too have a blast, especially your lil bro. I can't wait til my siblings are old enough I can possibly share the magic of life with them

I think given how experienced you are, and how smooth the location sounds, it should be absolutely perfect. I would inform him, if you haven't already, what he can do to prepare himself for this experience. Telling him how to allow his emotions and energy to flow, how to not block anything and how to focus positively. That and to meditate and set himself up for positivity in the time leading up to this.
