I recommend having a half, then waiting until you've totally come up on the first half, if you like what you are feeling then have the other half.
You can always have more, but you can't take less.
Peace, happy tripping man.
That's one of the more sensible statements in this thread. Some here tend to forget this forum is read by a wide audience. Starting off with a lower dose for a first experience may not result in the full glory of the drug being felt, but it certainly allows for a more gentle introduction, and often makes it much easier for friends to talk someone down if things aren't going to well.
While shtonkalot raises some interesting points, I disagree on the whole dosage argument.
LSD is quite safe in many ways and dosage is unlikely (IMHO) to be the biggest factor in someone having a 'bad' trip or otherwise harming them self whilst on LSD.
I've seen heaps of people have a higher dose than they're used to and lose it completely, posing a danger to themselves and others; extreme violence, sexual assault, major panic-hysteria, you name it. I've seen previously calm people go into full rage; bash their friends, girlfriends, us, security or anyone who comes close. A few have had to be seriously restrained, and I'm not talking about a kind reassuring word. I mean being very roughly dealt with by security - even personnel who have personal experience with LSD - simply to avoid further injury to others.
Of course, it's more than likely many of these people were in some way predisposed, whether it be something in their past, their then current state of mental health, or other factors. But those factors are not always possible to predetermine. LSD might be fine for the majority who take it, but IMO and certainly from a HR perspective, it's certainly not responsible to advise large doses for newbees.
Sure this kind of thing might be viewed as similar to what can happen - and does - with alcohol, but my point is that dosage of most things plays a major factor in response, and LSD is no exception.
I have found that the only times I know of people having a 'bad trip' they were all apprehensive about taking LSD before hand.
While that may be the case in your experience, I could list a page of examples where this was not the case. I've seen those who were more than keen for a trip, an hour or so into it, totally fall off the rails.
