I dont have much experience with shrooms

I've had one basically balls deep trip, in memphis on shit shrooms. What I'm wondering is this: with and unknown dosage level how do you know how fucked up shrooms will get you? I've had people tell me about getting so blown they don't know whats happening, and others who told me they take some and barely get a buzz.
When i take bridge, i KNOW how trippy Im going to get a 8, 10, 12 inches, etc. I know that 18 will be rough, 12 fairly easy to handle. But how do you gauge shrooms? Just curious. I'd like to grow a few and fry a bit.

I think people usually figure out dosage by weight.

Dry them all the way "cracker dry" in a dehydrator. Then use a scale to weigh them.
Shroomery gives dosage suggestions on the page of each individual species, these are measured in dry weight. You will have to know the species. Considering your locale I would guess the shrooms you get are psilocybe cubensis.

Well if you're not weighing it, you really won't have a clue.
But generally for cubensis 2g is mild, 3.5g is strong, 5g is insane(for proper potency mushrooms/cloned variety)
If you grow from multispore your mushrooms will vary in potency and could be either stronger or weaker than the average potency.
Generally 2g is a good place to gauge the strength, if you don't have a scale you can't be too sure.

Op, the more you work with mushrooms, the more familiar the dose and effects become. Like above poster stated, there could be wide variances between mushrooms.
I like to grind a bunch up and then weigh out a dose mush less than what I turn to powder. You get better consistency and have a better idea about how high a dose will get you once you've dosed a couple times from the larger batch.

I always eye my doses, and I usually always get them right, granted I am familiar with the strains, but more importantly I know my capabilities for the most part..
This is usually how I scale them tho:
1 mushroom = level one 2 mushrooms = level two 3 mushrooms = u get the jist..
Sometimes u get smaller mushrooms, well I'll usually just gather enough of them to where I think they would be equal to one average sized mushroom..
If I am using fresh mushrooms then I times it by 2..
It's a skill more than anything, I wouldn't recommend a newbie try this method..

That's pretty fucking ambiguous don't you think? How is that supposed to help the OP?

What do you mean by not knowing the dosage? Do you mean you didn't have a scale on you? If you don't know the dosage then I guess the only way to tell is to wait for it to hit you. You can get a general feel for how heavy mushrooms of various size are if you look at enough of the pictures on here. That's only a small help though since individual mushrooms vary in potency, but you should be able to figure out with experience what about three grams looks like, and what about five grams looks like, etc.
If you're okay with tripping hard, just eat everything you have and hold on.
If you have a scale and dried mushrooms, then it's easy. Here's my personal effects profile: 2 dry grams - Light 3.5 dry grams - Medium 5 dry grams - Strong 7 dry grams - Very strong. 8+ dry grams - Unbelievably strong.

My experiences with Shrooms was kind of a let down. I ate an eight a couple of times and nothing happened. I know it all depends on what you eat, how much you weigh, how much you take and stuff like that. I'm like 5'5 and only weigh about 115 max. and haven't ever and gotten to dip a toe into tripping on Shrooms. I read it could be medication you take but I'm not on any meds. I don't know why I can't trip it kinda sucks. All the people that ate the same Shrooms each time tripped hard as fuck, so I don't know if is a potency problem.

Could've been weak shrooms. If you were doing any kind of speed it could've messed with it. I did shrooms with x last new years and I felt the waves coming and going, but I didn't trip any. Of course the x that's going around these days sucks ass anyway, at least in my area, it's all speedy and not trippy at all. When they say meds, they don't just mean meds. Other drugs like xanax, valium, kalonipin sp?, anything speedy, can affect a trip too. I make sure I'm not doing anything other than weed anymore when I trip to reduce any chances of it getting ruined.

Again, pay attention to the species of mushrooms you have. Panaeolus Cinctulus is going to be way different from Psilocybe Cyanescens.

I was only smoking some weed that day. They were potent too because my homie had taken the same ones and had a nice trip.
