Hi!
Newbie here. Last summer I started experimenting with drugs after many years simply not thinking about it, scared it would wake some depressive tendencies in me -I am quite a rational person, never had suicide tendencies or anything more than slight anxiety or seasonal depression, I just knew the risks and was cautious- . I tried ecstasy a few times and weed, I had a blast and no long term mental effects in any of them. Therefore I started to be curious about psychedelics and began to investigate.
However some months ago I took a weed edible with my very loved partner to the middle of the Amazonian jungle. It was way stronger than we thought -we took the right dosage, even less- and we ended up having an awful weed bad trip in the middle of nowhere. It was my first bad trip so I didn't know how it felt like, and I had some of the worst anxiety of my life, I thought I was going to die, I did not trust my more experienced partner who was also bad tripping (mind you, we were in the middle of the jungle in a cabin without power, not much water, three hours away from civilization by boat, that probably made everything worse). Seeing my partner having such a bad time too and with the paranoia I was having, I kind of lost some the trust I had in his experience with drugs (he was the one to introduce me to them).
Even though I know weed and psychedelics have nothing to, this first bad trip made me aware of how slow time could go by while bad tripping and about the anxiety I can feel when I know there is no way to stop a trip, and made me not want to try psychedelics so soon (I was even thinking of starting with acid before that). A month has passed now I am feeling way better, I tried a lower dose of edibles by myself to analyse how I feel, I was super high but was able to control the anxiety and keep myself distracted. I have a very espiritual yoghi friend that has offered to do shrooms with me -he has done them plenty of times- I am thinking about it.
I am in a very good place in my life, I talk a lot about past traumas and think I know myself pretty well. These last days I have had a bit of anxiety thinking about my long distance relationship and my future, but pretty much that's the only think that king of makes me worry right now (context so that everything that my mind could show me while high is apparent).
Our dealer has offered us Albino A- and B+ AKM, he sais the personal dosage is 2gr.
Therefore I was wondering, do you think it could be a good idea for me to try it now? Should I start with a lower dose than 2gr? Which one of the two strands? I have read albinos are quite strong. I am mostly looking to the fun and the visuals, even though I am prepared for the most spiritual or consciousness-related part. Do you think my bad experience with the edibles could affect this trip?
I was quite encouraged by people telling me that with weed overdose they lost the sense of being able to function much more than with shrooms, as in that they could still move, do different tasks, etc. That was what scared me a lot with the edibles. However I don't know if this mix of curiosity and fear is normal for the first time or I should wait to be much more calm. Do you think that if I take a 1gr dose I will ruin my first time by not having the full experience, or it will make me feel safe for full tripping next time? I remember with ecstasy (I know, nothing to do) I had a low dose my first time, saw there was nothing to fear, and next time I was willing to have the full half pill and have the full experience.
Sorry for the super long post! I guess I am a total psychedelics baby and have a lot of doubts and lack of knowledge Thank you for reading ♥️

Short answer: If you feel ready, do it. If you're in doubts, wait untill you feel ready. 
The variety is irrelevant here. Albino A+ and B+ are the same mushroom, Psilocybe cubensis. The albino version lacks color, that's it. They are nearly identical in potency and effects.

Damn ,. I relate to a lot of your questions and concerns. Thanks for sharing..
I'd say maybe start with 1g to put your mindset at ease ? Calm yourself a Bit..
I believe you'll be Fine but beware,. Depending on which strain; just 1g can send you into Oblivion. also.

You are totally right, I just don't know which level of doubts is normal, rational caution, or if I am being too doubtful and therefore I should wait haha.
Do you think 1g of this species would be okay?

Thank you for your understanding! Did you feel like this on your first time? Was 1g okay for you?

Feeling anxiety before a trip is natural. Many people still feel it even after a moderate amount of experience.
I'm no expert psychonaut, but I have been consistently tripping for the last few years with various doses and I still get anxiety a few days before a planned dose. The bigger the dose, the bigger my anxiety. It's a normal response of my ego to the upcoming challenge against it. And, although not all, many more experienced psychonauts still experience that "pre-trip" anxiety to various degrees. Nothing to be worried about there unless you believe the anxiety to be strong enough to lead to possible panic attacks. Then I'd abstain. Otherwise, some anxiety is a natural response of the body/mind.
As Pandemoon stated, both varieties are the same species Psilocybe Cubensis. And the standard dosages are as follows (this is just average doses for their effect. Each person is different and natural tolerance, set/setting, etc play a role in proper dosing)
0.1-0.4g - Micro-dose: Effects are sub-perceptual
0.5-1.5g - Low dose: I personally feel this range is akin to a medium dose of cannabis
1.5-2.5g - Medium Dose: Nice dose with potential psychedelic effects such as CEVs, some OEVs in the form of visual distortions etc. From my experiences, this dose doesn't reach the "full range" of psychedelic effects.
2.5-3.5g - Standard dose range: Usually enough to get a good psychedelic experience. OEVs, CEVs, loss of time/self, possible ego dissolution, spiritual manifestation, etc.
3.5g+ - The infinite possibilities - The experience doesn't end at 3.5g. Many other effects manifest as the dose gets higher. It's all relative to the subject, their set/setting, tolerance, experience etc.

Don't do weed.

Eat the shrooms, it'll be glorious and alleviate your anxiety.
