Taking shrooms with anxiety + bad weed experiences

General Question

Hi all! I'm really interested in taking shrooms since all my friends have reported that they have really enjoyed their experience with them. Unfortunately, I've had a lot of unpleasant experiences with smoking weed in the past. I try weed every once in a while just to see if I have a different experience and it's always the same. As soon as I start to feel it I become extremely anxious and detached. My thoughts become cloudy and I can only barely focus on one thing at a time which is rough for me and although I can manage to kind of chill out, I usually have this overarching feeling of dread. I know that shrooms are a completely different experience but I'm getting a lot of mixed messages from people that have similar experiences with weed. I would only plan to take 1-1.5g. I'm really curious about the come up, as I've heard that it usually causes anxiety and I worry I wouldn't be able to get rid of the stress from that to enjoy my trip. I'm super on the fence and I just need a little help to push me one way or another lol. Any information would be helpful, especially back up plans in case I can feel my trip start to turn bad. I would like to be as prepared as possible but also if y'all think it would be a bad idea for me I will accept that too! :)
