There's a hint of gatekeeping in this comment. You seem to be saying that the people enjoying 1-2g with their friends are only doing it to be cool, while "real" mushroom fans like yourself do larger doses. Could an alternative explanation simply be that doing 1-2g with friends is actually a fun social experience, unlike the larger doses?
