Good dosage for first time user? (self.shrooms)

Hey all my boyfriend wants to do shrooms for his bday and I wanted to drop a question in here as I’ll be trip sitting. I have never done any psychedelic myself, i only smoke weed.

He’s done shrooms before and says he “usually starts with a little over 1.5g and then takes 3.5g an hour or so in”. He’ll be taking PE and maybe one GT — both of which I grew last year.

Personally 5g of PE in an hour sounds like a lot to me but I don’t have any evidence to back that up.

Anyone suggest starting lower?

Personally I wouldn't split the dosage. If it's about nausea, get some candied ginger to eat if it becomes an issue. Mushrooms have a long come up, so the split dose will make for a longer trip, but not necessarily as heavy as taking them all at once.

5g is on the higher end of dosage, but if he's experienced and taken similar doses before it will be fine.

I’m not entirely sure why he wants to split it he just said that’s what he did last time

He might be going for the extended length I’ll ask

I would definitely recommend going for the full 5g at once if he wants a heavy trip, or 3.5g at once if he wants a more moderate trip. I think everyone should experience a 5g trip at least once.

Personally I tend to prefer light to moderate experiences, but every now and then I'll be in the mood for something deeper.
