telling someone you don't want to trip with them

Recently I had a falling out with one of my good friends over something I'd rather not get into. We are currently friends again, but there is still an underlying uncomfortable feeling. He wants me to take acid with him for his first time this weekend, and honestly, I'm not going to. Not now, and maybe not ever. I haven't told him yet, but I don't know how to do it without telling him he has bad vibes and I dont think I would enjoy myself. I'm not really looking for advice, because I know il have to tell him in the end, but does anyone else have a similar experience?

Sorry tripping is a very intimate experience and I only ever do it alone - its nothing against you or anything, but I find having anyone around makes me become paranoid and have a bad trip.
But lets get high together!

That would be a great one, except that me and another friend are already planning to trip this weekend, which he kind of invited himself to. I think I'm just gonna say something like I want to keep it small this weekend, but maybe sometime in the future... (which ill deal with in the future, feelings are still a bit raw) and then I'll distract him with the impending 4/20!

It sounds like for whatever reason you don't want to just be up front and tell him to his face. I can understand that, some people are drama queens or trouble makers when their feelings are hurt or they feel rejected. Sometimes it's better to just keep things to yourself and always find a way to avoid that person in certain situations. There are plenty of excuses you could make up, that you're sick, your folks wanted to borrow the car at the last minute, flat tire, agree to do it but then don't show up (flake out), etc.
I know it's probably not the best way, and I don't like to lie or deceive people at all, but some people are just impossible to deal with any other way. Good luck, and I think it's wise for you to not trip with someone who you feel has bad vibes. I've kept a friendship for years, knowing deep down inside they gave me uncomfortable vibes, and last year I truly lived to regret it. Never again.

I've had the experience of tripping with friends when I didn't really want to. I felt bad about using the mushroom recreationally.
I know you didn't ask for advice but this is what I would do: (not good advice, just what I would actually do)
Pretend to call the whole thing off. Then trip with your favoured friend in secret - trying to ignore any phonecalls or unexpected appearances of undesirable friend.
Oh, it's definitely going to be awkward. Enjoy.

in similar case i would just tel him true. don't like to lie to people who are or were my good buddies. if you gonna spend weekend separatly-just keep it 'till next week or so ,just because to don't ruin his trip.

honesty is the best route of action. It may hurt his feelings but not near as much as lieing to him would.

oh dont worry about that, im pretty sure hes gonna ruin his trip all by himself. I dont really have any need to associate with him anymore, but because we were close friends and i dont want to see him get messed up im gonna tell him i dont think hes ready, and that he should let the drug find him instead of the other way around. but if he insists i wont be able to be there for him, because i think things will get bad, and im not gonna let him take me down. at the end of the day its his call 
the reason i was hesitant to be honest is hes a major drama queen, and i really dont want to get in a fight right before i trip. but if he cant see that im doing what i think is best for him then whatever
