Well me and my two friends are planning on doing acid this weekend. It will be all of are first times so i would like your opinions. We will probabaly chill at one of our houses and listen to music and watch tv. I am kinda worried about one of us getting too fucked up and nobody there sober to help. Should we have someone there to watch us just in case?
 
It's never a bad idea to have a trip sitter, but I think if you are in a calm enviorment with people you trust, you should be ok.
Just go into the trip with a positive attitude and you'll have fun.

My advise: Most likely you'll wig out maybe once or twice. If you do, then just keep telling yourself it's just the acid.
Remember: ITS JUST THE ACID!!
Also, don't try figuring stuff out. You'll just confuse yourself more, and this could cause a wig out, not understanding stuff.
Personally, I feel like a helpless baby when I trip, cause I don't understand ANYTHING AT ALL, and for chrisakes, I can't even hit a bowl when i trip.It's too damn hard!!!
 
Just make sure you don't go giving yourselves heroic doses. Start low, especially if this is your first time with hallucinogens. You should be fine if you err on the side of caution.
Just in case - I've never had to use this w/ someone on acid, so I'm not sure if it works, but it works for people flipping out on shrooms: Keep handy a bottle of whiskey (or any hard alcohol). Put it somewhere visible, but not the center of attention. This is your "safety." If you, or someone else, starts losing it, take a couple of swigs. It is as much psychological as it is physical. I've seen more than one person come out of a "bad trip" after drinking a bit to bring himself down and loosen himself up a bit. Yes, it will diminish the effects of the trip, but if you're freaking out you won't want to be tripping anyway.
Like I said, I haven't had to use this with acid, but I'm sure it would work. A lot of the "spiritual trippers" don't like this idea, but fuck it, it works. Also, if you're freaking out, just remember it IS just a drug and you WILL be fine. Do your research. The more you know about the drug the better off you are, and the more comfortable you will be.
Have fun.

As the poster above said, its never bad idea to have a trip sitter, but its not always nessecary. Depends on the dosage and quality of the acid your takeing. If your takeing 1 or 2 hits of good quality acid, then I dont think a trip sitter is nessecary. 1-2 hits wont blast you out of reality, but it will still trip you pretty hard. Prepareing for a trip is all about mindset and setting. If anything starts to go wrong or if you feel the mood of the trip shifting into darker areas, dont fight it. Let the acid take you away. If things start to get too scary, concentrate on the music. I reccomend putting on some music that all three of you enjoy and feel that is comforting or whatever. TV is an annoyance to me when im tripping. Candles are always sweet to have when dosed up, some of the most intense visuals I've ever experienced I've seen in the flame of a candle.
Enjoy and have fun. Go into the trip in a positive mood, and dont worry about anything. You should have a blast and learn what psychedelics are all about.
 
It might be a good idea to have the name and phone number of someone responsible and sober who knows you're tripping that night displayed prominently in a central location so you can call them if things get too hairy. Preferably someone who's tripped before and knows what to expect. Hell, it's probably even better to have them there with you.

I tripped alone the first few times. All you have to remember is that if you freak out (i'm assuming anyone trying for their first time is in high school) you will wake up your parents or somehow get arrested for being stupid.
Everytime I started wigging out I'd think about stuff like that and realize that it wasn't that bad and I'd rather be out of my mind then go to jail on the stuff.
