weight doesnt really matter. my first time i took 2.7 grams. it was an awsome experience. i did it with one of my best friends a mutual so so frined. the so so friend soon became one of my best freinds. i felt it was a good dose because it was enough to fully enter the tripping world. having done a half 8th dosage since the first time i believe a half 8th just isnt really intense enough. half 8th doses are very minor in my oppinion. id go for between 2.2-3 grams for ur first trip dude. if u run into any rough waters which i doubt u will just remember u ate some psychedelic mushies and ur just on a trip and ull calm down. music is incredible on it. i usualyl listen to pink floyd or zepp or the doors or hendrix but they are my favorite bands anyway so go figure.

Contrary to what LedHead says (although I'm not calling him/her a liar) I believe you should take less than a full eighth your first go. Every brain is different and every body motabolizes Psilocybin at a different rate and in a different way. Ofcourse you may feel the need to take more. Remember you can always take more but it's a lot harder to throw up what you've taken if you don't think you should have.
I must note that I have had trips that are atleast a level 3 (level 2 at times, level 4 briefly for the peak) off A >HALF EIGTH< made in a tea (although it's well known that tea's kick in quicker, harder and don't last as long - around 4 hours till back to baseline. It should also be noted that I put a slight bit of lemon juice in the tea).
Finally I must point out the obvious that shrooms can and usually do always vary in potency (even between cubes) depending on strain, what time they were picked in the harvest, how they are stored plus other things. For example a strong strain picked as soon as the veil is broken (and I mean within a few hours) and immediately fan dried, then dried in a desiccant chamber, then put in an airtight glass container and placed in the freezer will be almost as strong as you can get them by weight. This is how I grew mine when I made the tea.
Sorry for the long post but just thought I should note all these things. Oh and last but not least Welcome to The Shroomery may your searches here be met with accurate information.
EDIT: It should be noted that I'm 6'2 and weigh 75kg (165lbs). I believe that weight and gender have a lot to do with how the drug will affect you. Most dosages for chemicals are worked out in mg per kg of body weight.

Word to the previous posters. I'm a bigger guy (6'1, average build, 180lbs), i dosed 3gs first... however, i hear the 2-3 range IS optimal for newbies... although it may seem cool, and you could probably handle an 8th, no point in risking having a bad trip and ruining shrooms for yourself. I'd go with 2.5-3 or so, then wait a week or two and try an 8th. Dooo it... Have fun, welcome to shoomery, PM for any questions

i've been waiting to trip for about two years... i took 1.4 grams a few days ago from my first crop and wished i had taken more! i do how ever think that i've made the right choice, having enough to experiment with and not having to be worried about wether this expiriance is going to be "IT". i had a good time and had a kind of "introduction" into the psychodelic world but i've only scratched the surface!
if an 1/8 was all i had i'd take at least 2 grams (maybe even as much as three) it also depends what kind of person you are and what expiriances you have with drugs... if you're totally ready and submissive to the expiriance i'd even go for the full 1/8 i've read lots of stories about people who took reletivly high doses for their first time and got blowen away but did not regret it at all! just remember it can go both ways and you should be ready for whatever is going to come!

You can start with a gram or two--wait an hour--and if you think you can handle it--eat some more. But if you have never tripped before please take it easy. Shrooms are a pretty spiritual experience and usually lots of fun. But if you eat too much at once it can be overwhelming. GL.

my first time i did a 1/16 and it was fine.. i was even driven to public to get some food for my drunk friends (sober driver) and i did not freak out or anything but the store looked amazing. I did an 1/8 a week later and although I was completely out of my mind i had one of the best times ever, just make sure your in a place you feel is safe with people you enjoy to be with. When I took the 1/8 I honestly thought I forgot how to go to sleep and I didn't think there was a world outside of the house I was at, but I just keep remembering I would be fine in the morning so I was cool with it

I would go for a lower dose, perhaps a gram and a half or two. Not saying you couldn't handle something higher, but I'm of the opinion that your first time should be relatively light and easy on you.
A word on potency : It varies! Frequently! My friend took a single gram his first time and was around level 1 or 2, that same friend took a single gram again his third time and was hitting level 3 to 4!
At any rate, don't take any more than you think you should, and have fun!

yeah if weight matters im like 5'10 and over 200 pounds. so yeah i was contemplating on taking like 2.5-3.5 grams. i read a lot of the first time experiences on erowid. but most people who like flipped out were like im under 100 pounds and ate 4 grams. haha. i dont know what kind of shrooms they are but they are dried up. i took pics on my comp though. i'll prolly eat a good majority of them and if i think i need more after an hour or so i'll eat the rest.
