I took Mushrooms for the first time alone (3g), any advice for the next trip? 1

For quite some time I've been excited to try mushrooms, and a couple of weeks ago I bought 3g of cubensis and decided to try. Did a lot of research on what to expect, how to do it alone, set & setting, etc. I was very confident that everything was gonna be fine. Last saturday I decided it was the perfect day, cleared all my schedule and took the mushrooms at 4:36 pm.
My room has a blacklight lamp, so I've put several drawings on the walls, things that I found comforting or beautiful and would like to stare at during the trip, I had a 7h playlist of instrumental stoner rock playing already as I walked across the room, looking at the drawings glowing on the light and waiting for the mushrooms to kick in.
Around 4:57 pm I was still feeling nothing, so I started to smoke a joint listening to the music, trying to not be anscious about it. After some time, it started slowly as a strange notion of "how everything was so right for today" and how the night was starting to feel awesome ... it was just a sudden explosion of happiness out of nowhere, and music sounded amazind like it never did before. I'm not a person who likes to dance, but at that moment it was the only thing I felt like doing, just started to slowly dance like crazy around the bedroom, it was a feeling that there was no difference between one movement and the other, so there was no reason to not move in every way possible, and then I caught myself in that torrent of thoughts at once, of how everything is just movement, how the music was talking to me through my movements, and most of what came to my mind on those hours I would never be able to put into words.
For the rest of the night I almost didn't recognized myself, it was a much more uninhibited me, much more confident and certain about everything I thought. At some time it hit me: "why don't I allow myself to be like that all the times? Why can't I just let it feel like that all the time?". For the rest of the night I just felt like that bedroom was the best place in the world and that it would last forever somehow, and just kept dancing while going on a huge introspective trip.
I had very low visual effects, almost couldn't decide if they were really happening or if I was convincing myself that I was seeing something because I really wanted to have crazy visuals. The most evident visuals I had was while staring a drawing from very close and suddenly the colors became much more alive and the drawing looked like it was in high relief, but it didn't lasted long. I even risked looking myself on the mirror, nothing but my super dilated pupils and a very fixed look.
In spite of not having the crazy visuals I was expecting, it was for sure the best trip I've ever had and I will definitelly keep exploring with mushrooms, what it did to my senses (specially the hearing) was just amazing, I even had a note (I was trying to keep notes at first) in which I've written "just heard a melody being drawn in the sky again".
I was thinking if I should try a higher dose (like 5g) to get more intense effects as I was expecting, or if it's a better idea to keep around the 3 ~ 3.5g for some time? Do I need a bigger dose or thats just a common first time thing?
Something inside of me is saying "go for the 5g already" with high excitement, but there is also a voice of caution, I would appreciate the advice of more expecienced people on this. I don't have previous experience with psychedelics, only cannabis and hashish.

That's a personal choice. But you might want to try going up by a gram since you handled it well. The jumps in dose are not what you might expect. Be cautious.

Mushrooms, and all psychedelics for that matter, do not have linear effects, I made this mistake when I was young; thinking I could handle 2 tabs of LSD after having an underwhelming first experience. It turned into a nightmare trip.
Also, I've had mushrooms that in the 2-2.5g range were almost mind-blowingly strong, and others not so much.
3g should be a strong, solid, heavy trip with good shrooms. I would say give 3g a shot with a different batch, at most try 3.5g and see how you react.
Unexpected ego death is quite frightening. Terrifying. Words cannot do the feeling of losing your sanity justice.
Be careful my brother, and don't smoke weed while tripping. Always respect the mushroom.

I have smoked while tripping on various occasions throughout my life. First few was when I was a stoner; this makes it much more manageable, but still puts you at risk of a bad trip.
When I had no weed tolerance and smoked, thankfully I was experienced enough not to panic, but it made a clear, beautiful trip incredibly confusing and almost disorienting, would not recommend.
edit: and honestly man, I know your post is likely a joke, but it's not a joke to advertise that. It puts many at risk of a bad trip, and you're encouraging something very few can handle.

I'll keep that in mind, make sense because a friend of mine said he had the craziest experience ever with 3.5g, and he bought the mushrooms with the same guy I did, so I thought it was either a light first time trip or something in my head decided that visuals would distract me from what I needed to understand that day (and this made sense the next morning).
I guess I'll try 3g again, maybe early in the day to see how different it is, but I like the vibe of the night.
I just smoked a joint at first because I was worried about nausea, but I didn't felt anything, even liked the taste of the mushrooms, so I will try without it the next time.
Thanks for the advice

Nah man smoke weed if you want. It really helps get the trip flowing. Again if you want. Some people just don't vibe well but you already took the plunge.

One of the most interesting, worthwhile experience I had with shrooms was smoking a bowl of hashish in a bong at the peak of the mushroom trip.
Smoking weed is not advised by everyone due to the sheer intensity, some minds might get broken by it, but if youre someone who can handle his/her shit together well...

Did you just eat whole mushrooms? They will be stronger if grinded into a fine powder. Also I'd recommend keeping your eyes close the whole time. 3 grams powder with your eyes closed will be something. Maybe 3.5 if you are feeling adventurous but I'd advise against going higher until you are more experienced.

I get most OEV when I sit still, especially on low-mid doses of 2-4 grams.
On high doses, they're hard to avoid. Typically around 5-7 grams gets me off pretty good.
Pitch black is where it's at. Laying still with no sense of my eyelids being open or closed, as either way, visuals are profound.
