how maney shrooms should i take?

An 1/8th is 3.5 grams. You should try to track down a scale so you can weigh out your dose. I recommend starting in the 1-2 gram range your first time. I can't tell you what that would look like or how many mushrooms that would be, because mushrooms come in all different sizes.

Typically it will kick in about an hour to an hour and a half after you eat it. I prefer the "lemon tek" method. You grind the mushrooms up, dissolve them in lemon juice, let it sit for 45 minutes, then take it as a shot. All of the nauseating digestion is done outside of your body in the lemon juice, and the mushrooms kick in within 15 - 20 minutes.

However, please do some research before you take them. Physically real psilocybe cubensis mushrooms are very safe. However they are not recreational drugs, and you need to be cautious when handling this cognitive dynamite.

if its your first time go easy. you eat half and your cousin eats half of that 8th you got. Eat it and make sure to stay indoors dude. Shrooms are fun but only if you have a clear head and just trip. it doesn't matter if you eat the caps or stems, eat everything and eat it fast cuz shrooms taste like ***. you could put the shrooms in a McDonalds burger or on top of pizza and you will still trip. For both you and your cousin, an 8th should be just the right amount. also drink orange juice to intensify your trip.

Additional answer....an 8th should cost $25 bucks. and it exactly weighs 3.5 grams, to put it in pictures the shrooms should take about 1/4th of the sandwich baggy. make sure the dealer weighs it in front of you. if he doesn't have a scale, then he is not a dealer.....he may be a cop ;)

only 2 at max a day, don't get too excited it has many side effects like RED EYES and LOSS OF MEMORY!
