First Time Shrooming

So I finally got around to tripping for the first time, it felt like I had been waiting forever.
I managed to get ahold of 1/2 of dried cubensis. The initial plan was to just eat 2 grams each between me and two friends, but then we got bold and ate the whole bag. We were all pretty sceptical about the mushrooms because the last time we at some they didn't have any effects at all. After about 15-20 minutes we decided to just watch a movie, it wasn't until almost an hour later that i started to feel a bit jumpy. My buddy had a gundam wing model sitting on his desk and i had the uncontrollable urge to just pick it up and play with it.
That was the beginning, next thing I know we went for a walk. The sky was amazing, it didn't look infinite, it looked like a roof with stars painted on it. I hung upside down on monkey bars at a playground in the area, just looking and convincing myself i could walk on this roof if i really wanted to. Slowly but surely all the lights of the neighborhood (this is at about 1am in the morning) got brighter and brighter, up to the point where we'd walk down back alleys just to get away from the intense light. It felt like day-time it was so bright, and occasionally I'd be walking and i'd look down and I'd almost step into the mouth of a face laying in the leaves on the ground. It wasn't scary, i just didn't want to hurt the guy's face. I listened to a lot of Death Cab for Cutie while i walked, and it just seemed to fit the mood. I was convinced the trees had emotions, and they expressed these in the way they hung their branches and leaves.
Long story short it was one of the most amazing times of my life, everything was so beautiful, natural, happy. At this point I can't even imagine what a bad trip could be because I don't think anything could have put me in a bad mood. For my next trip I plan a higher dosage (from the 4.5 grams this time to probably 6 or 7 next time, maybe with the lemon juice) and I plan to do less walking around and more quiet contemplation.
The only downside was getting bitched at the next by my girlfriend who's a bit of a prude when it comes to any drugs. I pulled out the classic "its my body, my responsability" but ah well, I would have done the exact same thing if i could go back, and I want to do the same thing more often.
Oh yeah one other thing, the mushrooms don't taste all that bad, i rather enjoy them.

Anyway, good to hear you had a good experience.

Be careful here. Your psychedelic experience is limited, and those mushrooms you got must be especially weak if 4.5 grams didn't kick your ass. I have had half that much utterly destroy me. Potency varies a lot. Just make sure you are in a safe setting, in any case.

Do you grow your own shrooms? Or do you know any areas to look for shrooms throughout the winter?

I have only been able to find them black market style. I don't think any grow naturally around here. I live in a rental unit I haven't been able to grow my own either.

Yeah, wait until you have your first bad thought loop. Never lose respect for the shrooms. Glad your trip went well though.

Don't be so sure, on friday I ate 6 grams within a couple hours for my first trip and had an amazing time, I thought there was nothing in the world that could make me have a bad trip because I know how to handle my shit. So I decided to eat my whole flush last night, it was 30 grams wet and it was pretty scary, I wouldn't call it a bad trip but I was terrified I never thought my life would be the same.

I'd stick with 3.5 dry, couple shots of lemon or orange juice. I'd say stop at Terence McKenna's heroic dose of 5 grams.
But, that's just coming from personal experiences and whatnot. Congrats on your exploration into your psyche and the world beyond.
