There is no one right way to get started with this. Personally I think a very small dose like 5 or 10 mg to start out with is good for the first try, mainly to make sure your body responds well to it. Since I conclude you did not extract what you have yourself this is a good way to make sure it doesn't have any unwanted impurities that will cause immediate harm to your body. Once you feel confident that the stuff you are smoking is not physiologically dangerous you can go for whatever reasonable dose your instinct guides you to.
Depending on the smoking method 25-35mg can be a break-through dose, but with less than ideal conditions it could take as much as 50mg or more, which would be way more than I'd want to vaporize in my pipe. Lower doses will not prepare you for the sheer intensity of the full blown experience, but they might make you more comfortable with the idea of altering your mind by these means. You'll have to figure that out yourself.
If smoking the pure crystals doesn't get you where you want to be, you can try changa or enhanced leaf, which many swear by. Do check around. That being said, 3.5g would last me years. Be resonsible with it.
Buon viso a cattivo gioco!
