Should I try?

lately i have been thinking about trying shrooms. right now i just do weed and alcohol and shrooms is the "greatest" drug im considering trying. i do have a few questions before i decide to try it, though.
1. What negative effects do shrooms have on the brain, such as permanent brain damage.
2. How much should I take my first time? My friend said we should only take half an 8th. Don't know what that means but i told him of people taking 2g's and he said yeah right thats crazy.
3. I've heard stories, not sure if they're true from my friends about shrooms. I've heard a man peeled himself to death because he thought he was an orange and a girl gouged her eyes out because she though scorpions were crawling in her eyes. If this is true, are trips like these rare or not?
thanks for any help!

How much would 3 grams cost on average?

1. none (though i have occasionally met people who may have fried themselves a little with almost daily use of mushrooms at doses WELL over average). 2. 1.5 - 2.5 grams, on empty stomach + one benadryl, in my opinion 3. probably urban legends, but if you're down in the 3 grams range, i wouldn't think an experience like that could occur.

Wouldn't it be nice if people started reading before they asked questions?

Average street prices here are 30 goats for 1/8 (~3.5 grams)
But here, 1 goat = $1.

Prices will vary according to dealer and location, but you can expect to pay around 10 bucks a gram.
A half-eigth is one half of an eigth of an ounce, or 1.5 grams. Consider between 1 and 3 grams for your first trip.
As for "peeling" yourself apart, that has never happened. Bad trips do happen, but if you're adequately prepared and confident you needn't worry too much.
Perhaps read the Beginer's Guide to Psychedelics. You'll want to know all about set and setting before taking anything.
Good luck.

I would say no to the 3gs thing unless you are the kind of thrill seeker that likes to jump into the deep end and reel in shock.
now i don't know what 3g is like, nor do I know what shrooms are like, but it should be a pretty hefty first time dose. This could be great in the long run, so it really depends.
but if it were me I would do 1g. then figure out how much more i wanted to take the next time around based upon what the 1g was like.

The thing about 1g is it might not be enough to feel what all the amazement is about. just, "oh, so this is what tripping is, eh... okay, whatever." and might even get negative thought loops, and think there's no reason to try again. Although some will take our word for it that there *is* something else to it.
I say half an 1/8 to 2.5 tops, unless you want to jump right into the deep end.

My first trip was a gram, but it was of potent mexicanas, I believe. I say take 1.0-1.5 and smoke weed when you feel anxious. Happy trails! (remember set and setting!)
Edit: I'm an idiot, I initially wrote 'Have trails'...
