My first time, I took one hit. Somehow I believe that taking one blotter was "it", that it was enough to experience the full power of acid.
Basically speed-like stimulation, little to no visuals. I concluded acid sucked.
My first real experience was taking 2 strong hits, outdoors. I had a date with a chick, I was stupid enough to think LSD could be used in a social setting, help me be more talkative.
It started great, very euphoric come-up. Then it turned sour when the visuals started to kick in. Geometric pattern crawling on the ground, overstimulating street noises. Then I looked into a mirror and watched my face melt. I freaked out. I stopped in a small public park to calm down. It worked to a degree, but as soon as I was back on the streets, the anxiety came back.
I arrived at the rendez-vous point to meet the girl. The worst thing was that I was afraid she'd realize I'm on drugs and despise me for it. I was there alone on a bench, it was raining, I was losing all control on the trip, terrified by the visuals (if I closed my eyes, it was worse). Really felt pathetic.
The girl arrived and strangely as soon as she was there, it got a lot better. Talking to her brought me back to reality, acted like an anchor...
