1/8 too much?

I will be taking mushrooms for the first time in a few days... I'm planning on taking 1/8, I'm unsure of the exact species. I am a first time user and will be doing this alone, everyone is telling me to take the whole 1/8. Does this sound right? I'm not nervous about it at all.
I see many first time users taking a lower dose. I believe I'm prepaired to take this dosage for a first time. I only ask to make sure I'm not going to go insane and lose complete sense of reality:)
I'm aware of bad trips, and not worried one bit about them.
Good or bad idea?

It totally depends on your level of confidence, although I would suggest having a sitter (a sober friend) for your first time, just because. I did an extremely potent 1/8th my first time, it was intense but I was prepared, cautious while confident. My advice is to just "ride the wave" don't try and contradict anything that's happening during your hallucinations and you should have a good time.
Peacefulness

That's what I've been thinking. I am very confident and I believe if a bad trip does occur I'll be able to handle it =)
Thanks for the reply

Saying you're not one bit worried about having a bad trip doesn't really mean a whole lot, since you don't know what to expect, being your first time. It sounds like you're in the right mind set going into a trip though. I was slightly nervous my first time and ended up having a great time, but it was a threshold dose. You can and will learn from a bad trip, but I'd want my first trip to be a good one, to set the pace for future trips.
Here's my suggestion.. Take half the 1/8 to start out. After an hour and a half or so, if you feel you want more then take the rest.

Thanks for the tips.

I have said this many times, but I wouldnt recommend more than 2.5 grams your first time.
to take a full eighth your first time is not a good idea.
Its very much on par with 400 mics of lsd, which is just short of the highest dose of lsd that most people are willing to take.
Just ease your way into it. People who think 3.5 grams is childs play dont know what the hell they are talking about. Thats why they would recommend it to a first-timer.
Even when I hear, "just take an eighth dude" in person I just cringe. I basically hold my tongue, and hope whatever insight I have will stear them clear away from that idea. One eighth is ALOT for some people. Then again some people say they dont get visuals from "only" one eighth. I get visuals from .2 grams, so I generally just dont like to talk to those types of people about it. They are a whole different breed of human as far as im concerned.

Uh... so you're saying people who seem to have a higher tolerance to psychedelics are a whole different breed of human? That's quite the statement...
I do agree, however, that 3.5 grams of mushrooms (specifically cubensis) is a bit of a steep learning curve. My first trip was fairly low, about a gram, and I had a good chance to get a feel for the sensations and the effects that the mushrooms had on the body/mind. My second trip was an eighth, and it was a very mind-blowing and enlightening experience, definitely not an amount to shake a stick at, but still manageable for a first time dose if you have strong will power and a cool head - I just believe you will be in for a very intense ride.

It is quite the statement, but I stick by it.
I have heard people say they dont get visuals from and eighth. In that case, yes I consider them to be a bit slow, or even another breed if I were to say it in a colorful way.
We all have the same organic brain chemistry. Those who dont get visuals from one eighth do make the whole dosage question more variable. Im saying that if you dont get visuals even after taking an eighth of shrooms even for 4 days in a row, your not going to peak my interests....... SOme people dont even feel a hit of 20x salvia. What does that say about the stubborn confines of our neurology as we know it when sober.
Some people are just too bland or simple. Im sorry but that seems to be the case.
This is not supposed to be a mean comment. I know enough to know that this is the case.........
Simple people will likely never actually understand the depths to which psychedelics can take them. Its quite "simple" really.
So ya one eighth is a VERY effective hallucinogenic dose. If you dont have a full blown psychedelic experience, you have your head up your ass.

I had about the same drug experience as this guy, and did 3g my first time with shrooms and it was not too intense at all, just perfect. So it seems like 3.5 would be pretty decent.

Definitely don't take the full 1/8 at once. And if you believe that you're in a good confident mindset that is good; however, you never know what will happen during your trip, especially first time.
Alone is a pretty bad decision so I do not recommend that. Remember you can always do them again, and there is no reason to go crazy right away. Good Luck.
