Take the damn 8th, if you don't you'll probably wish you had. Grind them up, put them in a glass of OJ for a few minutes, then drink up. Give it a good half an hour to get some visuals goin. You'll be fine, don't worry. If not, I will take partial responsibility.
Its kinda funny because even though you know you took a drug and that you're expecting to see things, when it happens its like "hey my chair is dancing, that is so weird... oh yeah I took mushrooms!! LoL"

Yeah. I had the same thing where I was like "well am I really ready for an 8th my first time? Maybe i'll go for 1/16th.." but then I thought "naw... fuck it, it won't kill me so why not."

*I* think an 8th can be overly intense for a first timer. Its a well know fact that this is sometimes the case.
Do whatever the hell you would like.
If I were you id use 2.5 grams if you are that confident about taking 3.5 grams. Atleast then you are not playing the lottery.
The reasons why I dont think people should try an 8th their first time:
-It could be way too fucking intense for you. -you cant possibly know how you will react. -you obviously dont know how many people have a hard time with 3.5 grams. Even people who have used lsd for years, and at some pretty high doses. -Its like a classroom, and you might want to learn how this all works in order. Each experience adding upon the next. -some people are intimidated by just the visuals that 1/8th can cause. Even that can be scary for some people, causing anxiety. - Why the hell would someone take an 1/8th for their first time is a question I cant answer. I do know how some people react to such a dose, and if they had taken an 8th their first time, they would have been so lost and scared shitless.
I dont mean to scare anybody. Just be careful with your brain. You have no idea how you will react unless you have tried them. You can also redose within 3 or so hours after the last dose.
All the more reason to take it slow.
Many people who take an 8th their first time enjoy the hell out of it. I would just be more careful with myself than those people, to be honest.
Do what you will. Im just not one of those people who *always recommends 3.5 grams to a person that is TOTALLY new to this.
To me thats just fuggin irresponsible.
I was a pretty serious fan of lsd before I ever tried mushrooms. If I could do it all over again Id do it the same way: 1.5 grams in tea(ate the chunks), then 1.75 chewed grams 1.75 hours later. The 1.5 grams was very interesting, but we still had a good 1.75 each. It was amazing.

I'm gonna have to agree with yageman.
I would never recommend an 1/8th to someone with no experience. I consider that to be a heavy dose.
I recently had the most overwhelming trip of my life on about 2.5g of spectacular mushrooms. I have eaten 6-7g before and they did not take me as far.
It does depend greatly on the quality of the mushrooms. If they are straight from the cultivator, they are probably pretty potent. If they've been passed from middleman to middleman, having sat in hot car trunks all day, beat up and stale, then they may not be nearly as active.
I'd take 2-2.5g, no more.

The first time I did shrooms I took half an 1/8. A little over an hour later I was loving it. Nice visuals, interesting thoughts and great body high. Really just having a very good time overall.
So good I decided to go ahead and eat the rest figuring it would only make the good better. Didn't work that way for me. The OEVs diminished, the body high got a little annoying but the worst part was the mind funk that came with it.
I spent the rest of the trip fairly miserable getting stuck in loops and just waiting for it to end. I could have had two nice enjoyable trips instead.
More importantly, I already had some prior heavy tripping experience on other substances under my belt and knew what was going on and that all I had to do was wait it out. Had I not, that could have been much worse than it was.
YMMV and indeed an 1/8 or even 1/4 may be what it takes to get you where you like to be. I wouldn't want to find out that it's way too much on my first trip though.
I always recommend 2 grams for an introductory dose.

yeah, I didn't argue earlier when you decided to take 1/8th, you may very well be fine and have a great time. I'd even say that in all probability you will, but I would personally never recommend someone take an 1/8th their first time. I just don't see the point. You will not be disappointed with 1/16th I promise, I'd say 2-2.5 is good and like yageman said, you can always redose.

I say take the 1/8th.. You have to get the experience from somewhere!
The first time I tripped I was by myself and ate 30 fresh medium sized Cyans... I loved it.
Don't hold back!!
