Dangerous is perhaps the wrong word. The LSD experience can be very intense and bring up a lot of things and it is best experienced by people who are a little bit, well, more experienced ... I can't really quantify it. But "everyone says" it, maybe, because it's a good idea. I would compare tripping to making very major life decisions like, say, getting married ... it takes consideration of your whole situation, your whole emotional state ... should one get married at sixteen? One has a lot to learn about one's life situation, emotions, etc, and has a lot of physical, emotional and spiritual growth to do at that time. LSD can help catalyze this growth but it also needs a lot of growth in order to be useful in the first place. I support your curiosity & your desire to experiment but please hold off. It will be a better experience and you will be better off for it.

All you need to know- Erowid Acid Vault
Some people believe that younger people can be mentally effected by, in a sense, seeing and knowing too much to early. Good way to go mad later on. Of course, that may be the point. I took acid when I was 16, which I think would be on the absokute minimum threshold for age limit.

How was that for you?
I took it when I was 14 I think and don't really think I got anything out of it but the 'holy shit' factor, and was definitely fucking with some very serious subconscious material that didn't help me spiritually until I resolved it years later. I would say the first time I derived any real benefit from LSD was at the age of 21.

This is a tricky subject. I believe I was about 14 when I took my first doses and my first experience wasn't very fun. I've always been very weary when I take psychedelics because I read everything on Erowid that I could find before I ate them. I was always interested in this substance before I did it, so I read trip reports beyond trip reports. Keep in mind trip reports are pretty basic no matter how in depth they are. It is hard to quantify the experiences you'll have on acid. Imagine watching everything you thought was real and everything you thought was life collapse in front of your eyes. It could be very well more intense than death in the fact that you're experiencing it full-on for about 12 hours give\take a few hours. Dangerous is and isn't the word. I am over 21 now and have probably tripped between 50 and 100 times. I definitely was exploring and having the most fun with psychedelics between the age of 17-19, primarily 18 being the good months of psychedelic experiences. The older I've gotten and the worse my anxiety has gotten I wonder if it wasn't simply from smoking pot. In the past two years I've applied the things I've witnessed\learned\experienced on LSD to my life the most, and that may or may not be a good thing according to society. Acid has taught me, in the most blunt form of explanation, that things can make absolutely no sense in life; via the thought that everything is "universal" and that a human mind travels in circles, or some other more advanced continuous shape than a straight line. Sometimes I wonder if my earlier usage of drugs has attributed to the way I am now. I'm not upset with how I turned out, or how I am turning out, but sometimes I freak the fuck out of myself. Sometimes I think I am crazy. Today I saw the doctor for the first time about anxiety, and getting mental health treatment isn't very encouraging. I had a depressing, stressed out day in which I thought heavily about my early drug use and maybe how it has contributed to where I am now.
Today in my management class we did a team ranking assignment in which we ranked 1-20, 1 being what we would do first, and 20 last, what management decisions we would make in sequential order. Out of the 10 males on my team, I was probably the one who deviated from the "expert's decision" the most. Possibly not, but it was depressing to think about after class was dismissed. If we're all deviations of an average number, out of the 10, I would probably be the most deviated. Society doesn't view that as a good thing and they medicate you when that happens. As I drove home tonight after class I had a very depressing episode in which I wasn't sure of what was right. LSD asked me if logic really exists. LSD has shown me things that others would call blasphemous. Is it good to be a deviant of your average person in society, or is it better to be average. Choose your decisions really fucking wisely and know that everything you do in life can have a very, very profound effect on yourself.

I loved it- loved being fucked out of my head. After my first few doses, wherein I just charged around like an insane persona, I began to enjoy spending more time alone on it and just visualising. That said, I started spending ALL my time alone for a while....still glad I took it, I don't hink I'd be able to cope with my existence as it is if I hadn't...

Ive gotten acid that looks jsut like that. The new jerry blotter on the east coast looks just like that, with a different picture though. Unperforated smaller paper is easier to conceal and travel around with, and looks less obviously like LSD.

repost from another thread about 2c / lsd at concerts.
"Had my first acid trip a couple weeks back at a 3000 person bush doof here in Aus.
Strange chain in events left a couple of us stranded, 8 hours drive from home with no car. For some reason 2 tabs of acid and a 25mg cap of 2C-B sounded like the "fun" thing to do.
All I can say is wow. I probably wouldn't suggest mixing 2c-* with acid out in a social place unless you have sober people around to help you. They seemed to mix well but was a pretty intense experience. Couldn't concentrate on the music because I was too busy trying not to fall over tents which may or may not have been there
"
I'm keen on trying acid again, on its own, in a controlled environment, but I'm still kinda confused about my trip. I know it was very intense, and as the 2c-B wore off all I could think about was "Wow that was the most intense thing I've experienced, I'm never mixing those again." Yet now (hell, even a few hours after) I can't actually recall what happened most of my trip. Lots of walking around involved but I can't actually recall any deep thinking.
Is it possible I was just overwhelmed by stimuli (music, lights, people) to the point where I didn't get introverted and contemplative? It was a very enjoyable experience, but its just left me a bit "huh?"

I assure you it's very well possible to deal with your issues without damaging yourself or your loved ones.
It's no big thing and doesn't require rocket science, just a bit of common sense.
As the issues mentioned are in your blind spot and you're obviously unable to take a hint (and you've had more than a few on this forum), much less face the in-your-face truth, you're going to have to figure it out for yourself.
Hopefully before you irreversably damage yourself or others for what's essentially no reason.
I know you can do this if you really want to.
Good luck.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else with mental problems (just visit a psych ward in any large city, or even a small one and I GUARANTEE you'll see someone there fucked up from an acid trip).
But when I was tripping, I actually felt less psychotic symptoms then normal.
Also, does anyone know how taking deprenyl on a Tuesday and tripping on acid on Saturday would affect it? I could've sworn I posted this question already and another dude asked the same question, but when I clicked 'search thread' and typed in deprenyl, nothing came up.

You keep going in circles but ask yourself these things. It's not all black and white neither are mental problems much like physical problems.... but how many people in a psych ward do you think feel like theyre psychotic? How many of them feel like theyre really themselves? If you're turning schizo, are you aware of it? If you're getting addicted, are you aware (in time?) ?
These are difficult questions, indicating that the way you feel isn't the most compelling evidence there is. What's important is that the ultimate counterindication is psychedelics + mental issues!
Realize that crossing this barrier and believing primarily in how you feel and what you think is happening despite tales of warning can get you in a difficult spot. There are endless discussions about whether people called desintegrated psychotic or insane are actually closer to the truth, and for good reason but I personally believe that once you go to far there's no integrating it into your sober life because it doesn't exist anymore. What good is living in ultimate reality when everyone else is living in a fake one?
I have personal experience with stubborn or pigheaded behaviour when I want to do something as much as you seem to want to trip, it's a natural human thing. Just read the signs and think of what you're risking before you go all-in.
One of my friends took acid for the first time at the beach when he was 12 or 13. On accident. Apparently some guy asked if he wanted some skittles and he at six. The guy told him he owed him $60. My friend didn't believe him that it was acid. He said they guy let him have it for free. 
Just thought I'd throw that out there as it's kind of interesting.

The guy must think he's pretty smart, offering drugs that look like candy and charging the price afterwards... until he realizes 12 year old people would usually think it's candy and not have 60$ on them.
Another thing is that it's uncommon to have such large containers of acid, may have been another substance...
what happened to your friend though?
He said he tripped really hard, but it didn't scare him at all. I've only known him for a few months, but apparently he's had a problem with drugs for awhile, so I guess that taking acid at the age of 12 wasn't exactly good for him, though there's really no telling. He could have had the drug problems even without the acid.
