Will be tripping soon. Advice?

Hey people! I've always been an avid fan of all psychedelic experiences, and have tripped on a number of substances, but have never tried either of the most famous hallucinogens, psilocybes or LSD, strangely enough.
It's going to be my birthday soon, and I am planning on trying out mushrooms. (I have taken them before, just not enough for proper visuals.) I am planning on acquiring 3.5 (roughly) grams of psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. I was wondering, should I take all of them? Should I take part of them? Should I take some first, and some later?
If anyone could help me out with any information on how to make it a smooth trip, it would be highly appreciated. (I will have some weed too, and I know set/setting are highly important.)
Also, I was wondering, would it be a good idea for me and some friends to go out and see some nature while on shrooms? (Hang out in a forest or something?)
All information or advice would be highly appreciated.

I think you should eat it all, and I wouldn't smoke until you're coming down. I would eat something two or three hours before you trip, so you have a pretty empty stomach and you shouldn't get hungry during the trip. Then if you want to start coming down you can eat.

Since it's your first time, you might want to take it easy and eat half an eighth. The woods would probably be a lot of fun as long as you don't have a bad trip out there. It seems like the best place to have a good trip, and the worst place to have a bad trip, but if you only eat half an eighth I don't think you really have to worry about a bad trip too much. You said you have a decent amount of experience with psychedlics, so you could probably eat all 3.5 grams and be fine if you want to. I'd say just go out to the woods and see how you feel, and if you're not nervous about it at all and feel comfortable with 3.5 grams, then eat it all, but if you're uncertain about it at all, I'd just stick with 1.75 grams.

Of course, if you have the chance to go out into a forest do it! I agree that you should just have a small snack in the preceding 3 hours, and if you feel comfortable enough for the next 6 hours take the 3.5. But keep in mind you can just eat 2g now, and wait till you get more shrooms to combine with the remaining 1.5 to get the full trip. By the way, if you do take the full 3.5, are you sure you want to smoke weed in addition to that..? I mean I can understand weed if it's 2g, but you won't need any additional substance on 3.5 if ya ask me.
Anyhow, tell us how it goes.

Yeah, I'd recommend waiting until you think you're about peaking before deciding to smoke or not, as tempting as that pot may be while you wait. It would suck to smoke while coming up if you're not prepared for the mushroom peak because really it's just going to intensify it.

This is good advice.
I will say this: There is nothing more majestic and wondrous then nature; especially while tripping.

from what i just experienced a few days ago.. i would say eat it all in one shot. I hadnt eaten anything but 6 crackers all day before eating 17g wet (10g at about 7 o'clock and 7g at about 7:45) and nothing at all happened. So i now know to eat it all in one go.. and i will defintely be using more next time.

Thanks for quick replies, people.
I'll probs eat about half, seeing as I'm planning to smoke some ganja. (I love weed, man, i can't help it.)
And if I'm still feeling good, I'll up the dose a cap at a time.
Again, thanks for the advice.

Just a note of warning: I was like you, I had tripped but never on acid or on shrooms. Lemme tell ya', its a COMPLETELY different thing and you should come into it with no preconceived notions.

I always suggest a full eighth for everyone that has them for their first time with me. I think it is the perfect first timer dose. I have found that anything less is not all that intense and can sometimes let people down. But an eighth isn't so much that you'll be going bonkers for hours on end.
Since you have only an eighth re-dosing is out of the question. You need to double your second dose to make any real changes in your experience.
You don't need to fast the whole day, just eat light. I like to eat things that are healthy for you. Cereals, vegetables, fruit, or anything without a ton of grease. I have noticed that bad foods make me feel bad so I like to be free of all of those nasty foods.

I agree with kungpow.
When my friends try shrooms for the first time i always recommend an eighth. Unless the shrooms are particularly amazing or i know that the person is super fragile or mental.
With an eighth theres no question weather or not you'll trip, you will. With the half eighth, depending on setting and potency of said batch, you will feel it but it might seem very mild and not the "trip" you're looking for with mushrooms.
It's your birthday, you're gonna be with friends, and you've tripped before: take the eighth. IMO
By the way, what substances have you tripped on in the past?

Yeah, it's possible that there was something else in them, but people tell me all the time you can trip balls on X, and I was also in the dark, so, there's a possibility that it was just things looking funny, but I saw funky patterns, and these little stars formed a massive group of cogs and levers and stuff all working in connection to each other...
It was crazy...

I would recommend a large dose for a first time (major trip) as well, but I also caution against an 1/8. Tolerances differ, and the on my 10th or 12th trip I did an 1/8 and experienced severe ego-death.
Had I known to "just let go" maybe it would have been different, but it turned out to be quite unenjoyable because I was unwilling to undergo that death. Bad setting for sure, so I'm skeptical of my own advice.
I guess the best I can say is that there are many enjoyable psychedelic strata beneath that which should DEFINITELY precede a first-time (major) experience.

Ego death? Sounds mind-blowing. I'll risk an 1/8, methinks, and see how things go... We're tripping in the forest, most probs, and I'm pretty sure there's a chance it'll be intense. If there's bad vibes, we can always relocate.
Thanks.

Just make sure you have a place to go where you feel completely comfortable and you will be fine.
Oh and don't get lost in the woods. NOT fun.

My advice for a first timer is just don't worry about shit, if you feel a bad feeling coming just let it hit you and flow through you. Think about whats causing the bad vibes and what you can do to change it. It'll pass just as quickly as it came that way, but if you try to fight it or ignore the inevitable it might be bad.
Also when your tripping, do whatever you think will be fun and relaxing for you. If the forest is a place you like to go sober, then it'll be grand while tripping. Do it in the place you feel the most comfortable in the world, with the people you are most comfortable with.
Just know that its a drug, you're not gonna die and you will not stay in that state for ever, in a few hours its done. Go in with that ready for anything attitude and you will have an amazing time. Enjoy the other side.
Oh and about the weed, i smoked like a chimney my first time tripping. It was on an eighth and i was blazing from the time i ate them until the time i came down. I guess its just preference but for me marijuana goes with tripping like peanut butter goes with jelly.

Wow. Thanks for the replies, guys, you've all been really helpful. I love this site already.
I'll take all of this advice into account, especially going with the flow, and I'll write a trip report when I'm over with all of it.
Thanks again,
Peace and Love,
The Psilophile
