i used to enjoy acid mostly for the visuals, but also the enthralled feeling that lets you stare at the visuals indefinitely.. heh.. acid is for sure 'amazing' - 'friendly' is a good way to describe it, but for sure a larger than life and energetic friend who keeps asking you to go bowling even though it's 4AM... 'bad trips' are few and far between - you generally need to have a preexisting mental condition which i have and i still have never had a 'bad trip' - i have maybe witnessed one or two though..
taking acid for the first time as friends is killer beans!!

my good friend and i in high school did that and those first trips together were perhaps unmatched in good times.. thinking happy thoughts and staying positive is what it is all about too.. glad you caught on to that before hand - the only time a trip starts feeling bad without provocation is when you dwell on some negative thoughts and they build into like a mini depression, but you always have the option of just clearing your head, moving around and forgetting about it..
i have lost touch with reality at least a little bit on each trip - some of the heavier doses like black pyramid and purple microdot got me to the point that i just had to sit down and let the experience go - at that point you just behave carefully and don't put yourself near harm's way - you know - don't go crossing busy streets, running near cliffs, forging rivers, etc.. i have only had minor injuries, but once i did some creative use of private property.. eh.. that was mixing beer, weed, LSD, and 5-meo-DMT though.. i wont go into that..
the color changing is very cool - at moments it gets more amazing - i have found a toke of weed brings on big color shifts - like once i was in the woods and there was a candle lit on the ground - i puffed on a bowl and suddenly the ground around the candle was like stained glass moving around and glowing wonderfully.. i will always remember that time.. the morphing mostly happens in the dark, but also in the plain daylight there will be distortion of objects and patterns covering things..
i think tripping alone can be spooky if you are not used to the feeling - my best trips i think were when it was me and like 12 good friends all dosed and spending the trip together.. i once candyflipped at a rave - it was way more intense than a regular acid trip - for sure not for a first timer..
you will have a super time with LSD! be sure to report back after your first trip..
