"To Fall to hell or Soar angelic youll need a pinch of psychedelic" -Humphry osmond (the man who coined the term "psychedelic")
First off.. cant state enough enough enough do your homework, do your homework, do your homework.. this isnt school this is fringes of the mind exploration.. 
know the drug, know the dose, know your self..
Every drug has different dossages and as stated by many people above effect people in sometimes drastically different ways.. one drug of a certain dose can have a mild psychoactive effect whereas another drug like the one stated above 25i, is active at such a small amount that it could cause some serious health issues at the same doseage level as say 2c-i
Before you introduce any level or dose of any psychoactive or psychedelic compound into your biochemistry have two levels of understanding.
1. understand the basic setup for a successful psychedelic journey as refined and perfected over the course of human history from the shamanic context to the scientific endeavors done by great men and woman across the board.
SET / SETTING
THIS is SIMPLE and at the same time so KEY..
SET.. this is about you.. Why are you taking this compound.. whatever reason it is, know your reason and use it to focus your attention before during and after the experience.. SETTING.. This is where you are having the experience. Dont reinvent the wheel friends. People have already gone before you with most of the compounds you are going to explore and have found that certain situations are great and other terrible..
for instance. if I wanna eat some magical fungus and go to a shpongle show, even though I love shpongle and wanna have a face warping good time im gonna dose very low.. on the other hand im in the woods, have been preparing for a week plus, I am taking these to explore deeply into my mind and soul, I have a friend with me, who will be doseing but much lower than me.. I amn going to go all the way and eat 5 to 7 grams dried cubes.. and I know at this level with my metabolism I am going to be holding on to the seat of my pants,, most of my trips have elements of the divine and the terrible. Elements of Feeling the energy of pure life and elements of not being sure if i deserve this thing i know so little about.
2. Understand the Compound itself.. Only take something given to you by a trusted source and even then be the most careful you can afford to be.. Research the active levels of the compound and dont push the limit until you gain a basic awareness of a lower dose.. I recommend as sasha shulgin did in his work, starting very low and working your way to higher dosage levels..
IT is always recommended to have a "Trip Sitter" someone who can watch over you , check on you non intrusively, and for the most part keep you out of harms way.. this is especially true with the more disassociative compounds and plants..
All that being said,, ramble ramble, depending on what kind of experience you are looking for no matter the compound, i would make it a point to be in a safe area, dimmed lights, ambient sound or music (non-lyric, i found works very well to compliment a space).. minimize interruptions, (this is why i like to go on a hike and camp out for the night),, minimize sensory input. Im assuming your not taking a compound to make watching tv look cooler, so shut off your electronics.. visualizers can be cool on lower doses with a few friends.. but in a heavy dose be with a friend or two and expect the ground to shake and your knees to tremble, this is a full on mystical experience, this is what they've been writing about since the beginning of known history, this is contact with the other side, contact with the mystery that somehow you've ended up in the middle of..
Keep in mind to, in the realms you will be exploring there will be some difficult experiences, there will be opportunities for transformation, there will be times when it feels like you are dissolving or dying, there can be periods of tension or confusion, higher doses of some of these compounds can lead to deep waters.. there are also many techniques that can be employed during some of these types of experiences to help..
one technique i use is humming and singing,, When I get to the point I cant feel my body and I am disolving into what looks like a pulsing energy of living color I start to sing, not even words really, just singing melody and humming tones,, the vibrations are centering and remind you everything is ok and you still have locale.
Also reminding yourself that you took a compound and it will wear off can fight off the feeling that you may have lost your marbles or that you are gone forever.. these kinds of thoughts can trigger panic.
Stay relaxed, stay focused, and let the medicine do its work.

Peace and Blessings on the many illuminating journeys to come..
