So I have 5 blotters, apparently 110 ug each.
I have never had any psychedelic experience before and want to know what to expect basically?
Heavy mindfuck, moderate visuals.
You can find examples of the visuals (drifting, tracers...) on psychonautwiki, but the really interesting part is what goes on in your mind. Basically your novelty-detection system goes into overdrive; you start becoming much more mindful and *aware* of behaviors that have become automatic or ritualized for you, allowing you to re-evaluate and perhaps change them. You'll find words suddenly becoming inordinately heavy with *significance*, which can also be of tremendous value in identifying personal issues you might not be consciously aware of.
At heavier doses you might also experience thought-loops and memory suppression, up to the point of effectively losing your sense of self for a while. However, despite what the "heroic dose"-crowd may tell you, this is not necessary in order for you to benefit from a psychedelic experience. Atleast I don't think that going full McKenna and "breaking through" to realize that the world is really made up of "self-transforming machine-elves" is a particularly desirable scenario.
Oh, and as far as psychedelics go, LSD is also pretty stimulating. Not as stimulating as a DOx, but still more stimulating than shrooms.
Also, LSD lasts around twice as long as shrooms - even ignoring the pupil dilation, you probably won't be able to pass as sober until the 8-hour-mark, and there'll be residual stimulation and brain fog until the 12-hour-mark.
need tips to avoid bad trips and I am also stuck on dose.. how many ug do I take? Do I just take one blotter or go for 2?
Set and setting. The psychedelic experience can greatly amplify feelings about yourself and your surroundings. Are you in a good mood? Do you feel comfortable where you are, and about the people around you? If not, it's probably not a good idea to trip.
In general, it would be best to have an experienced trip sitter you feel like you can be completely open with. If not, you better have a benzo on hand. A low dose can help get an overly intense trip back under control before it goes completely off the rails; a high dose (preferably combined with a low dose of an antipsychotic) can just abort the trip full stop.
Oh, and guess what, when it comes to the psychedelic experience, all those anti-weed PSA's were right after all: THC on LSD usually won't calm you down, but rather make the whole trip even more anxiety-inducing. Seriously, read "bad" trip reports on Erowid and look at how many of them start going South following the words "...so we decided to smoke a bowl".
110 micrograms should be plenty for a first-timer. Taking 2x110 on your first trip might not be a good idea even with a sitter, and could be a recipe for disaster when you're tripping solo.
Also I want to know, is lsd neuro toxic like mdma? How long breaks do I need to take?
Not neurotoxic. MDMA causes the brain to release serotonin and dopamine, whereas LSD directly activates your 5HT2A receptors.
As a rule of thumb, LSD tolerance should be effectively back to baseline after 2 weeks, although if you want to preserve the "magic" it would be best not to take it more than once a month.
