Weed also gives me anxiety, but that has no relation to the quality of my LSD trips. Really, it is all about set and setting. If you are anxious about taking it, the odds may be higher that you’ll have a bad trip, but that is not guaranteed. I often have nervous anticipation before a trip, but this is different than anxiety. If you do decide to go ahead, I highly recommend you to find a place where you are comfortable and won’t feel judged by others. If I had tried LSD when I lived at home and my parents walked in on me, I’d have freaked. Out in nature is a fantastic, but so is inside in a good setting. I preferred tripping with friends when I was younger, but now prefer tripping alone - they both have their merits and it depends somewhat on your personality and mood. Being with a good friend on your first trip could be a lot of fun and provides support.
Be diligent about the quality of your goods. No need to start with a high dose. 100 – 125 ug could be fun for a first trip, not overwhelming and less likely to result in a bad trip. It will give you some understanding of the drug and how it progresses. This will also give you more confidence for the next time round. (My first trip was 200 ug and it was fairly intense but I had a blast. But I was experienced with other chemicals and it has always been my nature to leap in. Everyone’s different).
There’s a wealth of information out there on things to do to improve your trip, like eating fruit, stretching, listening to your favorite music, etc. Perhaps you’ve already read a lot which is excellent preparation. One piece of advice I strongly believe in, if you start having negative thoughts or things start to go sideways, just change what you are doing. It seems so simple but just going from one room to another can be like walking through the looking glass. I had some stomach nausea once and things started to go sideways….I picked up a piece of fruit and bit into it and was instantly immersed in an explosion of taste that was literally orgasmic, and put me in fits of euphoric laughter. A complete 180.
Ultimately, if you have any hesitation to try it, I would just wait until you feel truly excited at the prospect. There’s no rush and you are bound to have plenty more opportunities in the future. LSD is an incredible drug, and it is shocking how the anti-drug sites are so full of mis-information, propaganda and dogma. I avoided LSD for years thinking it would make me want to jump out of a window or see fire breathing dragons nipping at my soul. It is nothing like that (at least not in reasonable doses). I have never hallucinated things that weren’t there – just had marvelous enhancements to what’s already there. Once it kicks in, the come-up is swift for me. I remember on my first trip it felt like a building nervous energy that I wasn’t sure where it would lead or if it would get too intense but sure enough it peaks and settles down, usually accompanied by waves of euphoria, and then it evolves, and transforms, and you learn to understand and trust it. And if you go with the flow it is a beautiful ride.
