First Trip Coming Up and a Few Questions!!

Hi all!
Over Thanksgiving weekend I will be tripping for the first time ever on any substance. My choice is the Amazonian strain of cubes (if strain really matters) all grown myself. I didn’t want to buy them because I wanted a very personal connection to my mushrooms.
So here’s the deal. I’m a massive pot smoker. Have been for 2 and a half years. I’m living a more focused, happy and productive life than ever before. However, I know shrooms are a completely different substance. But, I’ve heard the two go hand in hand, especially for more experienced stoners. Do you recommend combining the two? Less anxiety and/or nausea and heightened visuals seems like a good deal.
1.5g for my first time. I’ll probably be eating fresh off my cakes (part of the experience I want) so it’ll be 15g wet. Any recommendations for chomping down some wet mushies? Just do it? That’s my thinking. Maybe chop them up and put them on pizza? Fry em up? I’m open to suggestions. I’m open to people saying dry them too. I can work getting a dehydrator in the next few weeks.
Set and setting peeps. I know my intentions. I’ve got a lovely very down to earth place to be that is inside, but I feel very comfortable in there and it is where I spend a lot of my time. Lights on or off? It can be super fucking dark in there, or it can be bright as the day. I’ve heard dark is way better, but I’m open to suggestions.
I know to not eat heavy foods/not eat at all 6 hours before and preferably the whole day before. I don’t want nausea or stomach Issues, but I’ve also accepted that we have to break down the mushies somewhere. Is fasting for the day the best way to avoid it? If I don’t want to fast for the whole day, and just go the 6 hours before, what foods do you recommend that are light and easy to digest for the day of?
Food for the trip? I know water, I’ll have plenty. But what food should I prepare? Will I even want to eat?
I know this is a lot but I’m spending these 3 weeks getting mentally and physically prepared so I can have a good first time experience. I tried my best to break it into easy paragraphs to respond to.
Thank you everyone!
Cheers!

Hi,
mushrooms are wonderfull. If you like pot then you'll love shrooms. They are a lot like beeing stoned, but way deeper. In fact, cannabis is a mild psychedelic. Racing thoughts, spontaneous crazy ideas and realizations, brighter colors, a slowed down perception of time, all these things you get from cannabis if you are no daily smoker. Mushrooms are similar, but way more powerfull.
15g wet is a good starting point for a newcomer. Maybe a bit more, like 18 grams or so, it's up to you.
If you have the option to eat them fresh then do it! Drying makes them lose some of their potency. Cubensis mushrooms contain both, psilocin and psilocybin. Psilocin is very unsable, most of it degrades while drying. Psilocybin on the other hand is more stable and will stay intact in dried shrooms for a long time, if stored properly. So the fresh equivalent dose is always a bit stronger due to more psilocin beeing present.
As far as fasting goes.. no need to fast, just don't eat the shrooms on a full stomache. Eat a light meal like two or three hours before dosing, that's totally fine. Tripping while beeing hungry is not good.
Nausea is part of the experience. Not only the shrooms are hard to digest, but also the psychedelic effects themself can cause nausea. Psilocin interacts with the serotonin receptors in our gut, thus we feel nauseous. But everybody reacts differently. Some people even puke in the beginning, others don't feel any nausea at all. Noone knows how you react.  Just remember shrooms are no poison, noone ever died from eating magic mushrooms. No matter how bad yur body might react, remember it will pass soon and it's only part of the drug. No need to freak out due to nausea, or feeling cold or hot..
I wouldn't smoke too soon. Sure if you smoke daily you can smoke a joint an hour before you dose, but it might dull the experience. Better wait till you come down, like three to four hours after dosing. When you smoke while comming down it will catapult you right back onto the clouds. 
Have fun times. Don't ecpect too much, let it come and ride the wave, wherever it will take you.

IMO, although lower doses of mushrooms feel similar to weed (1-2ish grams), the higher doses (3/3.5g +) are completely different.
Pandemoon covered everything. I’ll just add that, personally, it’s mandatory for me to go into nature a few hours before I trip. And I recommend to just be with the mushrooms during your first trip to get a good experience with them. Skip the tv and Videogames, etc.
I’d suggest in bed, dark room, eyes closed with music on (either via a good room speaker or headphones. I prefer a speaker because the headphones always end up bothering me during a trip)

Thank you for all your insight. I’m looking forward to hopefully achieving a ‘new level high’ and I hope with my 1.5g (to 1.8g, I think I may take you up on that) I can work my way up to the heroic dose as they say of 5g and really achieve some insight. I’m gonna go with the flow, and “turn on, tune in, drop out.” Cheers!

Thank you for your insight! I’m a daily user so my tolerance is pretty high and I haven’t felt “trippy” on weed in a while. I’m thinking 1.5 ish will get me where I wanna be for my first trip. I’m going to take your idea of going out into nature before. I think I’ll take a sunset walk. Then go into the dark room, maybe light a candle and take those shrooms. I’m picking out my playlist of calm music as we speak. As well as a trippier one if I feel like that suits the mood Cheers!
