A few months ago, I witnessed my friend have a psychotic break on 440ug of LSD. It was absolutely traumatic for both of us. The police had to take her to the hospital and it was just a nightmare. I was on the same dose as she was and somehow stayed pretty calm throughout the whole thing. I've boomed once since this experience (1/8 soaked in lemon for about an hour) and it was mostly a good experience. I smoked a lot of weed and got pretty panicky the last hour or so. My setting ended up getting pretty hectic though and I started panicking because I felt like I was going to through up. Anyways. I'm started to worry a lot about tripping in the future. I will never tough high doses of LSD again considering what happened to my friend and an eighth was a little too intense for me but I really enjoy lower doses of shrooms, maybe a little over half an eighth. The lowest dose of acid I've taken was 220 and that was pretty mild but I've heard of psychotic breaks happening on even doses that low. That's the highest I'd ever go again.
Basically my question is, what's "safer" on lower doses? Which has more likelihood of causing psychosis? I've never had a bad trip on acid, even watching my best friend get hauled away by the cops I was able to keep my shit together. I have a pretty difficult time controlling my thoughts on higher doses of shrooms, lower ones are fine and I'm just happy.
Also, would 100ug of LSD be comparable to half an eighth of shrooms?
I have a history of anxiety and depression but I've been in a very healthy and stable mindset for a while now. My friend who had the psychotic episode has a history of depression but I'm not aware of any other mental health issues. She was on Prozac at the time though. She had had a pretty rough week prior to dropping with me so that could've been a factor as well even though she has quite a bit of psychedelic experience.
