Do it at home, less chance of something making you lose your shit. But in saying that I did it my first time at a rave when on PMA as well and I had a blast, even if incredibly delusional

Rave or home? (Advice for my first LSD trip)

Exsqueeze me?! That's definitely an understatement in my opinion. Proper LSD can make even the simplest of external stimuli extremely intense. The noise, lights, smells and heat of a rave, while 'awesome' for people experienced with psychedelics, can easily push a first-time tripper over the edge with nasty consequences.
And while I'm at it, MDMA is certailny 'intense' in an emotional sense, but far less so mentally. In fact, the emotional openness and euphoria can make an over-stimulating environment like a rave very easy to take. With LSD I think the exact opposite applies.

Just take the acid at home instead of at a rave. Then again I don't always like interacting with people while on a high dose of LSD which hopefully it will be.

I've gone to a party one time on LSD. I got too confused about everything; the music, the people, the decos, lights...I really couldn't enjoy it. What I really wanted was to just dance and become one with the music but instead I started trying to analyze too much. There was too much input at the same time to handle. After that I've never gone to a party on acid. Some other psychedelics go well together with parties for me, but not LSD.
The best advice I can offer you has nothing to do with WHERE you take LSD for your first time. Find someone who sells Xanex, or Valium, or Klonopin or any kind of Benzo...They will SAVE YOUR LIFE if shit gets 2 intense. I ate a 10 strip and about 4 hours into the trip started feeling really anxious after smoking a blunt to myself. I crushed up .5mg of Xanex and snorted it...I felt like a new man 5-10 minutes later. No anxiety, awesome visuals, it was a great time, but without that xanex...even an EXPERIENCED tripper can get rocked by acid.
Whoever said MDMA is like LSD is WAAAYY off balance. MDMA is a beginner psychedelic, it can be intense PHYSICALLY, but there is virtually NO mental craziness, just a warm feeling of happiness. Acid can change on you in a second, you can be having the best time in your life, and then a wave of intensity hits you, or you think some crazy thought that really detaches from your surroundings, or you smoke a joint for your 1st time on acid...A lot of variables can turn a fun trip into a frightening one. That being said...
I personally recommend that you take it AT HOME, with 1 or 2 GOOD, TRUSTWORTHY friends. My 1st time was very introspective and personal. I was in a group of 5 or 6 other people, but ended up spending most of the time by myself, mainly because I felt like I was going to miss out on some really important, life changing information if I let myself be distracted. Acid can be amazing, and scary at the same time. Raves can be A LOT of fun on doses, but there can also be way too much noise and over-stimulation of your senses. Just be careful and know what you're getting yourself into BEFORE you decide to take it.
And if you decide to be crazy and take MDMA and LSD together the 1st time. Only take like a half a hit of acid, and at most 1 roll, or .1 of Molly. These drugs have SO MUCH synergy that you don't need a lot of either. If you take them together...LESS IS MORE. No matter what you decide, make sure that you eat a good meal about an hour or 2 prior to taking your dose, this will help you to feel physically well for the duration of the trip. Not eating can leave you weak at the knees after a few hours of tripping, and it will be hard to get food down while tripping the 1st time.
Know your limits, be in a safe place, eat a good meal beforehand, have some good music to listen 2, and you're set. HAVE FUN!!

The xanax can be good to take the edge off, but don't take it unless you really need it (IE start freaking out) and don't snort it. Xanax is a fast acting benzo, just eat it and it'll kick it just as fast. Snorting xanax is useless unless you dig the taste of the drip and doing unneeded damage to your nose, and that's coming from a guy that's snorted a ton of Tylenol in his younger days (damn pain pills).
At any rate, for your first time, I'd do it at home or any place where you're really comfortable. Look at it this way: If you find LSD is something you like you can always drop it at a party or rave at a later time. Why not spend that first trip getting to know Lady Alice and yourself in a safe place? When I take LSD, I always take it in a "safe place", once I get an idea of where the trip is going I make the call on if I'm going to venture out or stay in one place.
Here is an idea: Why not take it at a state park? Or a nature reserve? Perhaps on a camping trip? I always have the luxury of having the woods right outside my door, and would often venture out into them during a trip. I found I liked begin outside more than begin cramped up in the house, or surrounded by a ton of people.
Indeed, one part of the experience is appreciation for other people, but another part is learning about yourself and how you "fit in" to the universe. I'd advise going through the latter stage at least once before attempting to interact with other people. Sadly, other people (usually sober ones) can be dicks, and just ruin everything good about the trip. They do stupid shit like putting ice cubes down your back or throwing shit at you, or that stupid scream "Ahhhh!". A lot of people just want to watch you "freak out" then point there fingers and laugh. That's the reality, people can be ass holes.
All that said, given the choice between the two: home, and maybe on a night when only "trusted friends" are going to be around.

The best place to take it is around nature. That's just my personal opinion though from personal experience. What's most important though, is you take it at a place where you already know you are safe at. Clubs and Raves are overwhelming, and while I've had some amazing experiences taking LSD at raves, it is again, overwhelming. It's literally a sensory overload on all levels. And the biggest part is you can never be sure these places are safe. If you are at a real rave, it's at a warehouse that can be shut down at any point, and this has in fact happened to me, coincidentally on the most potent Cid I've ever been on. It's a scary experience, but if you are experienced you can handle it easily.
Again, for a first time...around nature, in a place where you know consciously and subconsciously that you are safe. Nothing worse than tripping balls in a place where you are not sure if you are at risk or not.

the first time i tripped on lsd, me and my friend took 1 hit each and chilled for a couple hours at his house until we hit our peak and then we popped some mdma and went to the club. i had an amazing night and would've gone to the club earlier had i known what lsd was like. the mdma just made it 10x better. as soon as i walked in i got a light show and it was amazing. if you wanna go raving, i suggest taking a low dose, so it's not too overwhelming for you. you might not get visuals but it will still be a great experience.
