Could I have burnt myself out a little?

So, back in the day, when I was young and experimenting with whatever I deemed to be safe enough to toy with, I bought Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, and I would take a shit ton. My most pleasent trips were between 12-14 seeds in solitude, but with next to no visuals, open or close-eyed. SO, I subconsciously decided to "up my dosage".
Threshold 1 - 4 Light 3 - 6 Common 5 - 8 Strong 7 - 12 Heavy 12 +
To the point of somewhat serious debilitating body load, even. In the 20-25 seed range, of the correct seeds with friends, and they'd all trip HEAVILY. I always allowed for tolerance breaks. After the first or second time I did it (months apart), I couldn't trip. I would hardly have expanded thoughts, and aside from some potentially blurry vision, puking, and disturbing body load, next to nothing. (Usually in the company of others.. huh..)
At first, I figured I must just be extremely tolerant of psychedelics, but then, I took 8 hits of acid a couple months later, and discovered I should have taken 7 less.
I guess I just still don't really understand my limitations at this time in my life, but I believe that my problem was... I was trying to force myself to let go, without respect for the substance, which is entirely counter productive... and potentially dangerous. The last time I took seeds, I was with someone I didn't even know, and I felt like the trip sitter the whole time... keeping him under control, dealing with my own nausea, helping him deal with his puke session. It wasn't until I had left him on his own for an hour or so, and finally relaxed enough to purge, that I finally tripped... 3 hours after consuming the seeds.
I haven't had shrooms or mescaline yet, just LSA, LSD, PCP, Salvia, DXM, and an assortment of non-psychedelics. I just wonder if anyone else has had problems getting the trip started? Was it the drug's fault, or your fault? Anyone ever experience a "sober trip?" Was it due to an improper mindset? Expectations? Not enough/too much of the substance?
Anyone have speculations as to my issue? I'd love a highly visual, pleasant, happy trip some day soon.

I suggest trying it alone, completely alone.
I spent my last acid together with my only real friend, because I wanted to share it with him (and I don't regret my decision), but I couldn't trip any good, compared to 1/4 of that dose before this was less intense. All the time I was more into mindset where I would care if he has a good trip. I was able to let myself go only for a hour or so. As I see you mentioning "company of others", I could suggest you preparing for solo trip. Find some great music, prepare everything before, and then do it. Sorry if this is not helpful.

Sounds like you could maybe use a little more respect for the substances? I could be reading that totally wrong though

Naw, man, I'm pickin up what you're layin' down. The next time I trip, I wanted to do it with my best friend, and him alone... I guess I'm just hoping I'll still trip bawlls, and get a lot out of the experience. Maybe I just need to work on the mindset for a month or so before... if anyone knows a little bit about spiritual cleansing/healing, I'd love to read up on it.

No, that's right. I certainly have a much greater respect for both myself, as well as anything that has the potential to effect my mind so profoundly, than I used to. I'm no longer chasing anything down, you know? But, there's always that worry I won't have a positive, significant trip next time... I'm not going to go the heroic dose route next time, but I think I'll try to open my mind. Gauge it out, lol

nothing wrong with epic doses when you know the potency, and for me at least, space them out
