The recurring random mushroom appearance- a question.

So in this desert city I call Tucson, mushrooms have appeared in the hands of one of my friends. Yes yes, why does this matter you may ask? Well it so happens that mushrooms are about as hard to come by around here as LSD, so they make an appearance to me at most a few times a year.
So anyways, there's my background story, because I know you all need that, right? Now please read this and give me thy psychonautic advice!
Ok, so here's where I come to my fellow shroomerites for advice. It seems that psychedelics often just pop up when you least expect them. The craving has just dwindled to the back of your mind and then *bam* "hey I got shrooomz" you hear from your friend. Why does fate play this same game every time?
Now, my girlfriend, best friend and his girlfriend have decided, in the past 2 hours, that we would like to once-again enjoy the land of tripping. I love it, and they're all still semi-new to it. I haven't seen the mushies yet, but I'm assuming they're the garden variety cubes, likely cultivated. I was thinking that everyone should dose 2.5g. My friend and his girlfriend each have done between 2-2.5g once before- the girl had a freak-out and my friend coasted fine through his ride. I convinced her then that it was just because she was with so many people and that she didn't have proper reinforcement. I maintain that.
I, on the other hand, have done at least 3.5g my past two trips, one amounting to a "blast-you-out-of-your-head" trip and the other on the fringes. I haven't tripped in half a year (wow, holy shit! Half a year!?). When I smoke weed I start seeing colors and very mild visuals and I get the early-on psychedelic thought processes. This seems to be a sign to me that I am likely rather susceptible to any mind-altering substances at this time.
So now that you may have read this far-too-long question, what do you guys think of 4 people, some with experience some without, tripping off of 2.5g the same day that they found out about the option of tripping? I'm rather comfortable with all except the rapid change of plans, which as we all know can have a greater connotation once "in it".
-------------------- Life is just a flashback... I may have gone a bit too far, I fear Will I get out of it this time? What was I thinking, taking this leap I thought I knew where we would go If only I knew, I had no idea.

The girl should eat only what she is comfortable eating, especially since her previous experience was rough.
Otherwise, I'd say that if everyone has no obligations in the morning, have a fun night.

I have a friend from Tucson, real cool girl. lol Anyways if you're bothering to ask this question then you obviously have your reservations about the trip. That in itself could affect your experience badly if you do decide to trip. Myself, I'd do it if I knew I could spend a couple of hours without any responsibilities.
-------------------- My advice is to find those things that give pleasure and do them often without too much attachment and relax and wait for the show to end. -Icelander- I like free markets and all. Truly I do, at least in general, but there needs to be some kind of oversight in recognition of sustainability. Life works the same way, on a bunch of sustainable systems. Why not honor what made us what we are and take some lessons? Nature FTW! ~dill705~

Hehe, well I personally have taken the dive enough times that I am comfortable doing it myself this evening. It's just the additional factor of 3 other people, some experienced some nervous, all in my tentative care, that increases the mental load on me. However, I've dealt with a few friends' bad trips, as well as large groups of people on mushrooms, and I held myself together quite well (at least that's what everyone said...). I've mentally thought through the outcome of a big-dose bad-trip, and I can save myself from it if for some reason I start losing control (at least, we like to say we can save ourselves. heheh). It's just a matter of reassuring anyone who's fighting the flow. I personally don't think that 2 or 2.5g would bring any of us to that cliff unless we actively seek it.
Ah, the strange world of tripping- so many outcomes, so many factors...
