Some Questions...

Okay. Got some Psilocybe cubensis, and now I'm gonna be trippin with 2 other friends sometime this winter break. It's our first time ever trying shrooms, and we're pretty inexperienced, on the whole. We all have a few questions in need of answers, and I feel that there must be no better place to ask such things as the Shroomery, right? Well it's several sort-of questions so here I go:
We've done Salvia before, with varying results from wildly believing we were a wheel to practically nothing, save for a long giggle-fit. Been hearing a lot of "less than 2 grams" your first trip, but I have no idea how to measure a gram! I don't know if there are kits or weights you can buy or something, but is there a way to simply "eyeball" it?
Can't be more than six caps between the whole thing, with loads of stems all around em. Two caps are about as big as a silver dollar, and the rest are about the size of a penny... Any suggestions as how to do this? Try to divide em evenly into 3 parts?
Also I hear that the way to do it is on an empty stomach. That the nasuea part of the trip is less when you're empty, but also that you want to drink JUST orange juice, as vitamin C prolongs the trip. Is it advisable to eat shrooms on empty stomachs? What exactly does orange juice do? Take a 4 hour potential trip to a 6 hour one?
Okay, almost done (we're a curious bunch, eh?)... One thing that really appeals to us about shrooms is the length of the actual trip, but from the sound of a lot of reports, it seems like time doesn't enter into it. Like hours and minutes become either intangible or simply mean very little when one is tripping balls... is this true?
Finally... Is it just a plain bad idea to have something like video games or the TV on AS you're waiting for the effects?

1. You can buy cheap pen-scales at head shops usually, if you have the money to spare. If you smoke pot any, it'd be a worthwhile investment. If not, do you know the total amount of mushrooms you were sold?
An eighth is 3.5 grams, you can eyeball it if you know the total. Less than 2 grams isn't that strong, some people eat whole eighth their first time, but that's pushing it.
Caps and stems are equally potent.
Empty stomach is advised, not only for nausea, but you dramatically reduce your effects if you've eaten usually. Get your money's worth. The orange juice thing is a myth, but if you choose to believe it, orange juice is still a good thing to wash down the icky tasting mushrooms with so you don't really have anything to lose.
It's hard to tell time while tripping sometimes. Depends how hard you're tripping, really, but sometimes a minute feels like an hour. You'll see for yourself, it's not really a big deal, but it's pretty fascinating.
As for the TV and video games, they're fine. You might want to have most stuff set up, as hooking up consoles can be an almost insurmountable task if you're tripping sometimes.
You're over-worrying. That's normal, I was the same way once. Once you trip, you'll see how it's like and realize it's not that big of a deal. It's a really "go with the flow" kind of drug.
Happy tripping.

Find a scale and weigh it, that's the only way you'll know how much it weighs or take a pic of the whole batch and put a penny or something in the pic also as size comparison so experienced ppl can eyeball it for you on here.
If you bought it tell us how much you paid; the chances are, it's 3.5g (1/8th oz) and dividing that between 3 ppl would yield low trip effects.. I wouldn't even divide that between 2 ppl, if it's just a 1/8th. but up to you..
Yes, take it on empty stomach, about a 6 hour fast should do you good. To intensify the effects, take it with lemon juice (i've never done it but others swear by this) simply put your share in a small cup and freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice and let it sit for 20 mins and chug the whole thing.. Others will say make mushroom tea, never done that either.. The lemon supposedly intensifies the trip but it's shorter in duration as a side effect. I don't know how you can prolong it.
As far as the trip itself, it's different for everyone, you might experience time distortion or not, no one can say. It also depends on your dosage, if it's too little, you won't feel shit but some body buzz and strange effects..
Finally, you can do whatever while waiting for it to come on, if you're looking to just get high, watch tv or play video games but if you're into spiritual shit, then obviously you meditate and do other combinations of things.. Set and setting are important and don't have any expectations. Just clear your mind and don't fight it. Let it have it's way with you.
Have a nice trip.
