What Psychedelic Would You Start off With? Or what was your first?

LSD was my first if you dont count MDMA.
If you have access to any 2c (except 2c-e) i would recomend those. Otherwise i see no problem with starting with LSD or mushrooms

I wouldn't be so quick to rule out 2c-e. I guess you're talking about the nausea some people get, but only one person I know whose tried it has had any significant bodyload. I find 2c-e to be very friendly, but if you dont wanna chance the body load I'd have to go with LSD.
 
My first was DXM, which I think is a nice introduction. Low doses can give you a taste of psychedelia, and I always thought it was just generally fun. I know some people who absolutely hate the stuff, though, so it might put some off psychedelics prematurely, before they really know what's out there.

Morning Glory Seeds (like DXM) are easy for someone just getting into all of this to get, and can still provide some really amazing trips. The bodyload can be terrible, though. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. You might be able to extract the LSA and ditch the nasties, which I have never tried (but think it would be very, very, very rewarding). I can just imagine a high dose LSA trip with no bodyload.... mmm.

But for the beginner who has the hookups, I always recommend mushrooms. 1.5-2 dry grams will (probably?) not make you go completely insane, but still be a very rewarding experience.

Acid lasts too long for someone who has never tripped before, I think. Someone who doesn't know what he/she is getting into could be launched into a painful experience for quite a while and maybe hurt themselves or someone else (physically or emotionally!)
 
small doses of shrooms were first...or maybe salvia, i don't remember...well...pot came before all that, anyhow...and alcohol before pot...

then i did morning glory shortly after my first shroom dose, and then acid about a year later (with more morning glory in between)

i did dxm once and i didn't feel anything except i got some B&W OEV's when I was lying in my bed about to fall asleep (I also get these when I take antidepressants (Lexapro) weird, huh?)...I mean that was all I got tho...
 
I'd actually strongly recommend 16mg of 2C-E. Such a perfect trip for me, mushrooms my first time was extremely bizarre and mindfuckish.
 
I don't recommend that anyone start off with research chemicals for their first time, no matter what their immediate body load, or lack thereof, may be. Research chemicals may have more effects in the long term, nobody really knows yet.

My first psychedelic was DXM and it was one of the best trips ever, it dropped into the world of body highs and CEVs, with mild OEVs and didn't seem volatile to my mood as other trips have proven to be. I've never really had a bad trip on DXM unless I was on a high dose (3rd plateau and above) and I had a bad body load. Generally, most of my 3rd plateau trips and everything under them were pleasurable and I find small doses, barely over threshold, to have some MDMA-like effects but don't count on it.

The one I'd recommend first is mushrooms, in a low dose, with good friends all around. My first mushroom trip was one of my most blissful trips ever and most of my friends share those sentiments. Just make sure you don't eat too many your first time and you'll be fine.

Acid is the easiest to go into a bad trip or get stuck in a loop on and it lasts for quite awhile, which as previously stated, may get pretty uncomfortable for someone inexperienced with tripping. It is also hard to predict the quality of LSD these days because those that are experienced can't truly tell you the strength of it since your tolerance will more than likely be low.

MDA is also a good one to start with. With this one though, being surrounded by friends and a boy/girlfriend, is pretty much mandatory for the best experience. Sometimes I wish that I had started with MDA instead of DXM. I probably never would have used anything else... Just keep the dose low, have water, good music, and postive vibes around and you're sure to have a blast.
 
Mushrooms was my first, and I'd reccomend it. On a low-ish dose, in a pleasant and safe setting with good friends, you'll almost certainly have a beautiful and very enjoyable experience.
 
weed and then nutmeg =D (nutmeg....loool)

but I think it's much better to start with san pedro (wonderful!) or maybe shrooms (mexican psilocybe cubensis) ...or maybe just 8-10 hbwr seeds

Mushrooms. <2 grams or so. Mix with a little cannabis, some good friends, and maybe a balloon or two of nitrous.
That sounds like a good time. Get some whippits!
 
I would say 10-15 mg's of Ambien depending on what you feel comfortable with, either way, its a very, very, very interesting experience, I don't know if you would remember it though. A lot of people get"Ambien amnesia" not me though I have always remembered my trips on it. Or maybe some DXM would be good for you. Just my 2 cents...
 
Mushrooms or acid, depends on the personality really. With shrooms my head gets really fucked, while on small doses of acid i get really tempremental (hyterics then shouting fits), but dont really see things. On big doses of acid things begin to melt.
 
Mushrooms were my first. It was a magic experience, despite my lack of knowledge or preparation.

But it doesn't much matter what you try first. Just make sure you keep the dose reasonably low, and read up on what makes trips likely to go well.

If you want to sort of ease yourself into psychedelics from MDMA (so to speak), I'd suggest mescaline in cactus form, because it is more likely than mushrooms or LSD to produce the euphoria characteristic of amphetamines.

For the person who suggested Ambien: it may be hallucinogenic, but it's generally not psychedelic, in the sense that mushrooms and LSD are.
 
mushrooms were my first, and i would definitely say to do them first. such an organic feeling. a half eighth will do anyone nicely for their first time, and it will nly get better from there!
 
Stropharia: While I see where you're coming from, I doubt having to chug down disgusting cactus juice and survivng the nausea is a good intro to psychedelics. I think Cactii are on the same level as Ayahuasca... I don't think I'm personally experienced enough to try either yet.

The taste is horrid, but you can clear it quickly with some orange juice and a few crackers. Speaking for myself (and those like me!), I get worse nausea from mushrooms than from cacti, at roughly 'effect-equivalent' doses. And, with cacti, the nausea has evaporated by the time the trip starts, whereas with mushrooms, it's still there as I'm coming up. Seriously, if you're sensible about dosage, cacti can produce a wonderful and forgiving experience.

It's certainly more forgiving than ayahuasca.
 
If you are lucky to live somewhere in the uk or europe where you can buy shrooms legally from shops (not for much longer in the uk though) then shrooms are a great way to start tripping. You can buy them legally and if you start with a very small dose you are not going to have too bad a time. Just don't make the mistake of eating too much too quickly.
