What's the right mindset for taking LSD for the first time?

I'm a bit worried and nervous, and I think that alone will cause me to bad trip?
Your thoughts?

He then ran naked around the house, attempted to get Kruschev and Kennedy on the telephone and announced to the operator that he was God."

Well, I think it's impossible to answer this question without you telling us why you're worried and nervous.
If you're simply worried and nervous about undertaking a new experience, a portion of this is completely natural. Try to remember that you are going to have a good time, and you probably will have a good time.

Well if you're feeling that way you may want to wait a while to reconcile those feelings. That's pretty much the #1 cause of a bad trip for me.
I went into a trip the other day unsure of the dosage prior to tripping and wasn't even sure if the substance was LSD at first. Needless to say it through my trip off a little bit but i ended up having a good time.

Well if you're not worried about having a bad trip then i don't see why not to dose.
If you constantly remind yourself you can't die from any amount of acid you're able to get ahold of you'll be fine.
Where it might be the contrary with LSA, i'm sure you could ingest enough to kill you.

Don't take too much. Bring water and other things you might need and go for the ride. If you are careful about your dosage you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Personally I love tripping alone. My first lsd trip I dropped it alone and rode it out for about 3 hours and as soon as I got the feel of the drug I called a budy over for some company. I recommend taking it with someone, but the other person be sober. To me it was always nice to know that if I was actually dying the sober person could help me and take me in if I needed it. Bro trust me, as soon as the cid kicks in you will really really really comfortable. Assuming that its good stuff. You will only be nervous for an hour or so till it kicks in. I also recommend not blazing till later on in your trip. Seeing how weed and paranoia go hand in hand. Probably do it at your house it. Don't worry if your first trip isn't the coolest thing to ever happen to you. After you try it there will be plenty more to come. Muahaha

I would make sure that your in a happy mindset, that is most important.
You should also treat LSD with great respect, if you don't have any respect for it then don't to it. If you are only doing it to "get high" I would say your probably better off with MDMA (although MDMA is brain damaging, so don't do it often).
You should probably at least IMHO be wanting to use LSD to seek the truth, to do at least a bit of introspective thinking or look at things from an abstract, psychedelic mindset.
I don't see any reason why not to do some reading before hand. I would recommend LSD: My Problem Child by Albert Hofmann.
And you should also have in mind the first time you do LSD, there is no reason you have to do an average size dose. Despite what some people say I am sure if you are using LSD for the first time no reason not to go with half a tab. If you find after your first experience it wasn't strong enough, then you can increase that however much you want. Keeping in mind that a full tab and half a tab could be quite different, so you might only want 70% to 80% of the tab depending on potency.
Good to know someone before hand that can tell you about the quality and potency of the LSD before you use it.

My advice is this:
Keep an open mind. Remember that whatever happens, you will survive, but if you do be confronted by overwhelming feelings, the way to deal with it is to remain open to the experience. Even if you feel that death or insanity is eminent at some point during your trip, you just have to accept that that is what you are experiencing, and don't try to hide from it. Acceptance of yourself and you mindstate and whatever you are experiencing, will make your trip continue to flow forward, but denial and rejection of things you don't want to come to terms with, will be a constant struggle against demons.
This probably wont happen to you at all, but thats how I would go about dealing with a negative trip.
Above all, remain open minded and take nothing for granted. If you are sure something bad is happening, you are taking that for granted and you need to accept the fact that you don't know what is going to happen, and you need to keep your mind and heart open to all interpretations of your experience.
Don't expect to talk to god. If you do end up talking to god, don't take him too seriously. I'm not saying you should doubt god, but just keep an open mind, and try not to judge the experience good or bad, true or false. Judging a fluid energetic thing like a trip in terms of stone can lead you to dichotomies, which can lead to to a chasing of you own tail, or ascension of the dualities, depending on how you deal with it.
Above all, relax, and have fun. keep an open mind to things you may learn, but try not to assign too much significance to strange or uncomfortable experiences, until after you have had a chance to come down and integrate that trip.
enjoy

I like what mario said. There is nothing wrong with taking just a half dose or so. Keep in mind once you drop it you will have to deal with whatever curve balls it could throw your way. Would you rather go totally crazy or just moderately crazy ? ya feel me. Also like he said tabs vary. Like most things. Ive had dose that took literally 6 hits to trip. Ive also had normal sized tabs that a buddy and I split and tripped assholes for 14 hours. I read on here of one guy that had some stuff that was so strong he would cut it into quarters and still get a hell of a ride out of it. Everyone always told me "your first time with acid you gotta go big" and generally disagree with any statement like that. But If I could go back I would have loved to double my first dose. Cause is truely is magical, especially your first time. double the dose is double the magic. Nowadays for me and my buds we kinda live by the Take 2 Idea. From the 10 or so different types (or batches, blotter from liquid) I have had you can't go wrong with two. Imo. Your head might be spinning but you can still navigate so you're good !

The right mind set is positive and excited.
My first time leading up to the day I tripped I felt like a kid on christmas eve who can't wait till the next day for santa to come, that's the best way I can describe it.

If I could go back to my first time, I would probably do it alone, but with someone nearby enough to get to if things went bad.
My reason for this is, that I tripped with a group my first few times, and it made it really hard to trip solo for a long time. I think if I had of just done it solo the first few times, I wouldn't have needed the group around to make it feel "safe" or "comfortable"
I say, take the plunge alone, people get in the way most of the time. being with the wrong group of people can end up worse, and even your best friends can be the wrong people to trip with.
On that note, just have your really good friend, cool relative (one who wont mind the acid) or someone generally very close to you, in the room next door, just close by. Sometimes you need people to talk to. As has been said, the first time is always the greatest.
Enjoy

don't be worried about being worried about your trip. i have tripped many many times now and i have got a little nervous before everyone, these thoughts will go away fast just think positive. keep the dose semi low and just chill out and relax on the come up. breath deep and let the drug take over you will love it

I have an idea for you.
Try to focus on something in the room where you trip, preferably alone. A small statue or something else which you find beautiful or peaceful to look at.
You can also: Observe your mind. Be mindful. Observe what the LSD does. Let the LSD do it's thing. Observe.

Make sure your mood is positive. If you're alone, make sure the setting is uplifting. If you're with friends, make sure they're good people. Don't think too much. My two cents.

The first time I tripped I did it also with marijuana. I would recommend being sober before you take the LSD.
Also I dosed more than I wanted to the first time, although I still had a great time I feel it would have been more meaningful if I could understand and articulate more of it.

PEOPLE YOU TRUST - Close friends and family who are level headed and trustworthy. Smaller group is usually better. Embarrassment, confusion, fear social pressures; all of these things can amplify ASTONISHINGLY with LSD. If you are chilling with your best friends, and family members that also do drugs you are not likely to feel those things. EXPERIENCED PEOPLE, is another PLUS. Especially someone who has had both great and horrible trips. They can help greatly.
COMFORTABLE PLACE. Physically and Mentally comfortable. Busy Bar, or a party your recent ex is going to... more likely to fuck with you. The Camp by the lake with no neighbors, where you grew up partying with friends and having good times, yer likely gonna have a blast.
Of course, these are BEST scenarios. A Bad Trip is still possible no matter what. BUT, if you are at the camp, with friends; You shit your pants smash a canoe and try to burn off your penis then you are surrounded by good people who love you.
