first time sticking my toe in the water... 1

Well, I am 50 years old. I had wanted to try mushrooms forever, but never had the nerve because I lived a sheltered, conservative life. However the past couple years have brought many life changes, and it's time to do some of the things I have always wanted to do.
To that end, I have had a small harvest from my first grow. I took 2g dried about 8:30 Friday night, in the company of my daughter and her boyfriend, who agreed to sit for me and insure my safety.
I ate them in natural dried form. The taste, while not as bad as I had expected, was not enjoyable. I think I could have dried them a bit more. I was not really expecting the body buzz which kicked in about 9:00. It felt light, cool, and good. I had some vertigo and a touch of nausea. With the exception of a few moments of sadness when the conversation turned to the subject of lost friends, I felt silly and giggly and was enraptured by these crazy videos of 3d fractals that my daughter's boyfriend suggested to me.
I had some very minor visual disturbances: early on some geometric mandala-esque linear patterns of some sort appeared blended into my vision, my perception of these patterns was stronger when I closed my eyes. however this sensation passed quickly. of longer duration was the perception of the curtains in my living room that appeared to be wavering as if being moved by air currents, but the air was still. I could see how the hallucintions could take over or supplant one's normal perception at a higher dose. All in all the experience was very pleasurable. By about 12:30AM the effect was mostly gone as I spoke to a girlfriend on the telephone about my experience, and I went to bed and felt great when I woke up the next day.
I can't wait to try again. Blessed be. <3

I'm glad for you that you were able to experience the psychedelic state. It's really a privilege and a wonder to be able to access these states of mind - some of them are the kinds of states that most people are searching for most of the time without knowing it.
I enjoyed your description, it was very easy to imagine how your perceptions were unfolding as the experience happened.
I hope you'll enjoy further trips and hope this community will provide good guidance if you need it in the future.
A quick word of advice: remember that higher doses can increase in intensity beyond what you'd expect based on just the % change of amount ingested. And each time you eat mushrooms, you're eating a chemically and contextually unique substance that may be unlike ones you've eaten previously.
Wish you smooth sailing ahead.

My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”
