All the bad sides

Hi forum,
A little while ago I used LSD for the first and second time. The first time (1 blotter 130mic) without problems and the second time (2 blotters also 130mic), everyone experienced some headache and I had to puke several times. Luckily my dealer was nice enought to give me a new batch for free because of that 
Now I want to try this new batch (same dosage per blotter) with several other friends (using 1 2/3 blotter), but one of them feels very anxious towards a possible psychosis and acid flashbacks. I have looked on this forum but couldn't quite find the answer to what he wanted to know.
What are the chances of pyschosis when tripping on level 2 with LSD? (He has no family that he knows of with any psychosis)
My friend is frequent marijuana smoker, but obviously never had a psychosis of this, does that mean he is unlikely to fall into one after use of a pleasant level 2 trip? (my friend also has used mdma and magic truffles reaching level 1)
What exactly is an acid flashback like and how likely is it that my friend will experience this? (will it just put you into a certain state of mind like listening to a song you have listened to on xtc before and being remembered of what it was like or will it distract you completely from what you are doing?)
Up to how long after tripping can you experience an acid flashback?
I really hope you can answer these questions, I really want to trip this weekend with my friends
Thank you

I've dosed since 1989 heavily and only experience 2 flash backs in my life. Both lasted literally 10 seconds and were mild.
The second trip doesn't sound like a CID trip to me. I don't know much about your first one because you didn't describe it well.
And the chances of psychosis? There are so many variables to think about before you can even think the answer..... How many mics is the blotter? Does your family have history of mental illness, etc....

If he's afraid to do acid then he probably shouldn't take it. If he has no family history of schizophrenia and he's tripped on mushrooms before them then the chances of him having lasting psychosis is extremely low. Like one in a million chance probably.
Acid flashbacks are way overplayed. I've done acid about 20 times and all I've ever had was like a small streak of color go over my vision for a split second. Now HPPD is a real condition that you can get from taking psychedelics. Google HPPD. Even that is usually mild and only happens after abusing these drugs.
You said you got headaches and puked from the acid? There are lots of drugs that act similar to lsd that people pass off as "acid" that aren't actually lsd. They are called research chemicals or RC's. You can usually tell if it's real lsd by the taste of the tabs. Lsd is tasteless and most rc's are very bitter or numb your mouth. Be careful and know the drugs you are taking. Some rc's can be dangerous. It's best to test your drugs with a test kit to know what it really is.

In the past two years I have consumed psychedelics on roughly 50 occassions (you can see which ones in my sig). Most of them were DMT but there were at least 15 or so longer acting psychedelic experiences. I can only recall one true flashback which was a full on ayahuasca breakthrough in the middle of the night. It was beautiful to say the least and lasted 2 seconds. The rest are more reliving of intense emotions. And in areas of seriously contrasted lighting I have mild tracers...
So as you can see its no big thang. Just keep your use reasonable. Psychedelics aren't 100% benign but things like flashbacks are greatly exaggerated. Once a month is probably the best way to go. The longer the break the better. Once you get into twice a month and weekly tripping you can expect to start experiencing lasting disturbances over time. Some don't mind it, but if you're worried just dial back the frequency

@FakePlasticSky and searching
The dealer has many customers who hadn't had the same problem. The blotters were tasteless.
I think the nausea was due to some outside factor like; the long travel before, drinking some beers, stuffing myself with wet bread (there wasn't any spread and dry bread was to dry) or perhaps my body rejecting the lsd.
The headache was pretty mild and might have been because of a similar reason, but as everyone was experiencing some headache, I thought it would be a good idea to alert my dealer just in case. He immediatly offered a free strip for me to confirm whether it was the blotters or some outside factor.
I actually noted it because I was wondering if the blotters could become contaminated (but forgot to ask). I packaged the blotters in tin foil by hand and vacuum packaged it afterwards. (I used new tin foil and washed my hands)

They definitely weren't contaminated. Don't really understand what you mean by that, like mold?
I get head sensations but not headaches, and I have gotten nausea from LSD, but i was biking up a really long hill on 3 hits of some really strong stuff, which made me puke.
It's probably acid if it's tasteless, maybe just not super clean stuff.

Doesn't really sound like LSD IMO. Never had a flashback. Starting to think that shit is more of a myth. If it does happen, it's pretty rare. Psychosis will not occur unless the person already has some pre dormant mental condition like schizophrenia.
I recommend doing your own research however, erowid is a good start.
