Noob dose?

hi! I'm an 18 year old girl and I'm planning to eat some shrooms with my boyfriend soon like next weekend I hope. I've been doing A LOT of research but I still have some questions, since I'm confused by how many different answers I get on the Internet. So of course we're planning to start with a low dose, but how low exactly would you recommend? I'm thinking 1g Golden Teachers and if that's not too overwhelming maybe do another .5. But how long should we wait before eating the last .5? I've taken mdma in the past, does a low dose feel like that? Also, a lot of people say you need to not eat anything for 6-8 hours before eating the shrooms while other people say it's important to have food in your stomach, what's actually true?! I'm so confused lol. I have anxiety and I've heard that doing low doses will give you a lot of anxiety and it won't go away like it would if you did a higher dose, is that true? And would you recommend smoking weed or should we wait with that until we've done shrooms a few times?

Some people find that weed confuses the trip. 1.5 gs is a very tiny dose. Honestly I would say take 3 or 3.5 grams. I took 3.5 my first time and had an amazing experience. You should fast before to lessen stomach discomfort.

What effect would 2-2,5 g have? Id love to take a higher dose but I wanna be able to calm my boyfriend down if he doesn't like the feeling, he's never done any drugs besides weed so I have no idea how he's gonna react, or how I'll react of course. We won't have a trip sitter unfortunately :/

1.5 minimum, 2.5 max to remain at an easy level. Dont smoke til the trips over
You can even make tea if you want you don't have to eat the mushrooms.
Set and setting are everything with psychedelics your mindstate and your surroundings make sure both are comfortable

Start with 2 g initially maybe 2.5g. Once you eat it theres no going back so be comfortable in what youre doing . 3.5 may be too heavy especially since you have no real previous psychedelic experience and mushrooms may be something you dont enjoy, so to takea high dose like that could be a recipe for disaster. We cant say what effect it will have, you will be high on mushrooms hahaha there will be euphoria, visual distortions, changes in thought processes and so on. The euphoria will feel similar to MDMA without the forced "plastic" love feeling. Its more of an open connectedness. Maybe give your BF 2 g to eat for his first time. Any less may be underwhelming or just more uncomfortable. Golden teachers are not that strong but where you guys are doing them for the first time start low. Weed may intensify the trip which can be good or bad. For me its always good and I consistently smoke on mushrooms but there are some people where It will cause confusion, anxieity and paranoia whil high on a psychedelic as well.

I took half a hit of LSD my first two times, which most people would say was a waste but I feel like it warmed me up for my third trip where I took 2 full hits and was able to maintain my composure for the most part. What I'm saying is working your way up slowly does work well for some people.

Yeah I think we'll do 2g ! But idk I've heard tea shortens the trip and that'd be kinda disappointing haha. I actually have an idea I'll like the taste of them!
thanks for replying I appreciate it!

Have you ever tried doing just 2g, do you know what effects it has? Like will we see colors and patterns or just feel high? And thanks for replying, I really appreciate it!

The reason your so confused is because it's all subjective everybody has their own opinion on eating or fasting before a trip and own opinion on a first dose or the dose that one would do during a expierence , aswell as smoking weed , so id say just do what's comfortable

All mushrooms are different in potency but 2gz should give some psychedelic effects

2gs will have minimal visuals

Just eat them, dont bother with tea. No sense trying to make it stronger when you dont even know if you will like them in the first place. Tea will last about 4 hours in total where eating will be 8 hours or slightly less depending on potency and amount eaten. You're welcome also. Just be safe and remember they wont kill you or hurt you. If things get a little hairy just remember you're on a psychedelic and the effects you feel are normal and supposed to happen I hope you two have an amazing experience.
Also I cant say for sure what you will experience. 2 g of liberty caps will have everything breathing and slight tracers and weird color changes. During the peak usually more patterns and when laying down closing my eyes have weird pattern based visuals or weird dream like scenarios sometimes. I highly doubt 2g of golden teachers will produce that tho.

Thanks for replying! Yeah I really don't get why people call it a waste, no reason to be tripping balls the first few times if that's not what you're aiming for. Would you say 2g is a good beginner dose?

I only got threshold first time. Three guys and an 1/8th. My buddy said he could live in a library at that dose, just wanting to learn. Very different when mixing with cannabis. Never know where the mix will go and for me enhances both a great deal. For some reason I have only smoked weed with acid once.

https://www.shroomery.org/9067/What-do-the-different-trip-levels-Lvl-1-5-mean 2g would get me about a level 3 but I'm either pretty sensitive to them or I get potent mushrooms. Someone else might say to expect level 2 for 2g.

It may not be a bad idea to be each others' trip sitters; one of you trip one day/night and the other the next day/night, or something like that. It may help with whatever anxiety/nervousness/paranoia you may feel during the trip.

2g is significant and it'll hit you harder than weed and for about 5-6 hours. You just have to know that and be prepared for that going in. Because once you eat it, there is no heading back. Good luck!
