First time Lsd

[Macha]

3 of my very close friends and I are planning to take lsd together.
The tabs contain 200 to 250 micrograms in each.
I am seeking out recommendation on what I should do because 200 to 250 micrograms is more than what most people can get hold of in my area.
Most of us do not have prior experience to psychedelics(unless cannabis counts as a psychedelic).
One has experience with shrooms and LSA.
Assuming that set and setting is not a problem, would anyone recommend for us to take a tab each or should we break it down?

Thanks in advance!

Its an eye opener, I say go big or go home only because its non toxic, BUT always have a good trusted sober person who is right minded and won't scare people with "are you alrights" and whatnot. Its not like any drug you have ever done and should be treated as such. Go outside as long as you have a good comfort zone and everything.... Have fun.

Usual dose for LSD among people I know is about 100mcg, but if you and most of your friends don't have experience with psychedelics (no cannabis doesn't count) I would start even lower. Different people have very different sensitivities to it, and mindset and setting/environment can play a big role in the experience. Read up about it lots beforehand so you have an idea what to expect.

Erowid lists the following doses:
Threshold: 20 mcg.
Light: 25 - 75 mcg.
Common: 50 - 150 mcg.
Strong: 150 - 400 mcg

If the tabs you have are about 200-250mcg, I would cut them in thirds. Where I live we call that size tab "double hits", since you can easily get 2 plenty strong doses from each and generally only people with prior LSD experience take a whole one. This is of course assuming that the dosage on these tabs that you have been told is true, they seem rare these days.

Moving this to Psychedelic Drugs to give you some more opinions, although there are probably a ton of other threads on the topic already if you do a search.

BDD -> PD

i agree with psychonautic with the "go big or go home" theory. in my opinion your first psychedelic experience should be a "break-through" where one feels the complete and full effects. threshold trips can be weird and uncomfortable, and a first time acid user needs a bit more than someone who has done it a few times, so i think 200 mics is a good amount. have fun!

Thanks guys, your posts were helpful . I'd still like to see what other people say about this.

200 micrograms is alright if the setting is safe and you are all very comfortable together. Like others have said, most tabs are 100 micrograms or less which I have to admit is usually a non "breakthrough" experience. I accept that strong hits could probably cause some unfortunate situations so blotters are usually dosed lower nowadays. You're lucky to find tabs that strong.

How much experience does your friend have with Mushrooms and LSA? If you feel he's knowledgeable he can probably better judge the situation. If you have more access to these tabs you should start with half. If you decide on taking a full tab and they actually are 200+ micrograms you want to have some sort of plan of what your going to be doing.

How confident are you of your setting? Psychedelics are like nothing else. You probably won't be able to handle certain situations if they arise. Make sure you won't get into trouble. Talk to your friend whos tried Mushrooms.

200-250 will be fine...you should feel full immersion which imo is better than only getting half way there cause you feel as though you are being ripped in two.

best to go all the way down the rabbit hole rather than get stuck half way if you know what i mean...if its getting too intense keep moving dont dwell on one thought or idea, change scene/location/room...remember its only a drug, it WILL wear off...and its all in your head

are you sure the dosage is accurate cause every dealer wants to talk their shit up...

happy trails brother

ps LSD rips shit all over LSA

^This. It also makes me wonder if the people saying 200-250mcg is a good starting dose for someone with no psychedelic experience are sure about their sources containing as much LSD as they think. I took 100mcg my first time and it was VERY strong and definitely a full-on psychedelic experience. Of course we all have different sensitivities too though.

threshold trips can be weird and uncomfortable, and a first time acid user needs a bit more than someone who has done it a few times

I disagree with this. I've never found threshold trips "weird and uncomfortable", taking too much can just as easily be "weird and uncomfortable". And 66mcg-125mg (what they would get if they cut one of these tabs into thirds or in half) is not a threshold dose, that is a normal/average dose.

My friend has tried mushrooms a few times along with LSA. His opinion was also to take the whole tab and enjoy the show. However, since he has only tried it a few times, I'd figure I'd get more opinions on it. Setting is going to be in my friend's house so it shouldn't be too much problem.

Having a house to chill out in can provide for a good experience. Music, lights, movies, etc. Even just having a place to lay down and rest alone for a while makes things much more comfortable. 200-250 micrograms is stronger than any 3.5g of mushrooms i've ever had, so maybe that would be good to tell your friend, in case he is unsure of the intensity you guys should expect.

As some have said, they seem mic'd pretty high for what you see these days, I guess I'm jealous if that's accurate. 250-300 really is the sweet spot, but it seems a little high for a first timer. Best of luck - try to make it outdoors for at least a little while, provided you have a completely safe environment to work with.
