This is a trip report I wrote for about me and my friend (S)'s acid trip together.
Mindset: Both of us are stoned from smoking blunts, bongs and joints for the last few hours. We both have experience with a few stimulant drugs and I have experienced a few psychdelics.
S's only experience of psychedelics was when she was 14 in Italy and was given some acid without any knowledge of the expected effects - obviously leading to a bit of difficult time. My only previous experience with LSD was a candyflip.
Setting: In S' dad's flat. A safe indoor environment with little chance of unexpected or unwanted interruptions.
Dosage: As it was S' first time with LSD where she knew what she was taking, I wanted to give her an easier introduction. We had a single tab containing 185ug which we did our best to split in half. The total dose each was approximately 90ug.
T = 7:30PM GMT = T+0:00 - We decide now is the right time to take our halves of the tab. We plan to hold the tab under our tongues for 20 minutes and then swallow them. We talked about the design on the tab, which was an image of small aliens. The original sheet blotter design was of "John Travolta Aliens".
T+0:20 - We have now swallowed our doses. We were having a small laugh previously because S was talking funny with the effort and trying to hold the tab under her tongue. Now that our mouths were freed up, we decided we would smoke a bit more weed.
T+0:45 - By this point the acid was starting to come up. It began as a tingle begining in my core and radiating outwards as time progressed. S seemed like she was enjoying it so far, but was mostly excited (and probably anxious) at the thought she had just taken acid. I tried to explain as best I could previously how the trip would progress but I don't think I did enough to prepare her in retrospect.
T+1:20 - Visuals had become apparent. I was usually lacking in the visual aspect of trips, I rarely got fractal patterns and the like and most trips involved more of a mental aspect (although I would love to get stronger visuals - I've previously only experienced fractal patterns twice or so with CEVs only evident once before).
The visual field had begun to take that newly defined look, where the edges of objects had some new edge to them that was hard to describe but was definitely noticeable. It was like a fuzzing of outlines where an object could be clearly discerned but at the same time it seems to slowly blend into the objects and environment surrounding it.
T+1:40 - Have you ever watched a 3D film without wearing 3D glasses? The type where the film is rendered with a type of blue and red overlay. My vision was like that. The outline of everything close to me had that separate red and blue offset overlay. S had begun to get a little quieter. I was hoping she was OK. She described seeing Rubik's cube style visuals floating across her visual field in patterns.
T+2:20 - S was still lying on the sofa.
"I this this is gonna be a bad one, Jack..."
Silence.
Realisation crashed down like a wave over me. I'm a bad person. I had just given S - someone who means the world to me - a psychedelic drug, something which should be used as a tool and not some fun night out. Was she going to be okay? I was sure she would have been ready for it. Out of any of my friends she would be the only one I thought I could introduce to acid properly who could handle it...but was I wrong..?
T+2:40 - The night dragged out. Minutes felt like hours. We had the impression of being in that flat for an endless period of time. S lying on the sofa immersed in her own personal trip, me watching over her with guilt racking my mind. Had I hurt S? Was she going to be okay after this?
I worried about truly having pained her. By this point, S had repeatedly said that it was too much and that the trip actually hurt.
T+3:30 - The struggle continued. I decided I would take a slightly more proactive approach to making her as comfortable as I could. I sat beside her lying on the sofa, reassured her, asked her how she was doing so far, and got her drinks of water as needed. I still couldn't describe how her trip actually felt. She could describe it to me at the time because of her state.
The only real description I got of how she really felt during it was the following:
"It's like waves of darkness washing over me... with each wave I feel lighter."
By then I had a good feeling it was going to be OK. My friend JB had taken acid the night before and achieved ego death. He gave a similar (albeit much more intense) description of what happened during the early stages of his trip. A similar thing was happening her.
S was struggling with her inner demons and coming through as a better person having fought them. She was doing so well so far and I was so proud of her getting through it to this point.
T+6:00 - A couple hours passsed as S gradually recovered enough to be able to get up and join conversation again. We had begun smoking weed again and were able to talk. I don't remember much specifically about this time period.
During this time we decided we would buy a pizza. We ordered a load of food and got a discount off. The food helped a bit, we were both hungry and exhausted. Luckily we could order a lot due to a special discount code being available in the local pizza shop.
After the pizza and a bit more of a talk, we went to bed and slept until about 9:30AM. Feeling much better and experiencing a slight afterglow.
After the experience that night, S decided to write her own view on the experience. The first part of this report thread was based on my point of view but most of the action was happening inside S's head with her own personal trip, which I couldn't get a perspective on - so here is her view:

Times are all approximate. I didn't intend to write a report for this experience but decided to afterwards so all details are from my (very bad) memory.
