Mushroom music... hmm. Try Ott?
-You'll probably want to experience nature, not human-created media; but only if you can easily get to the nature without having to deal with people.
-Definitely do draw, with a sketchbook and colored pencils, or a sharpie and highlighters- but don't expect the drawings to be that worth looking at the next day. Creating on shrooms just doesn't work in general. However getting inspired to create something once you're sober and rested, does. Maybe just take notes.
-You aren't really "in for" much with 2 grams but that's a good thing. Work up to more later, gradually, if you like it.
