Do I react to psychedelics differently?

Hi. I'm a 30 yo male, 75kg. I'm a heavy weed smoker and have developed a good tolerance to it. I've tried psychedelics around 10-15 times (mostly lsd, some shrooms, al-lad). So first of all I've noticed that I have a higher tolerance then most last shroom trip was 6 grams. My friend was blown away. I on the other hand was under complete control. A little frustrated but OK. My highest dose was around 500 micrograms of al-lad, alone at home. Had a bad trip then, was horrified. All my other trips(except one hippie flip that was pretty relaxing) I could describe in one word - frustrating. Most of the time I'm frustrated with my fellow trippers (for having more fun than me?). Then i just want it all to end. I'm amazed at how they react to the loss of control, they just accept it and trip. My trip is different. After about an hour I'm getting a little nervous but quickly calm down by accepting the effect. After that I don't even notice the visuals so much and am either completely calm or frustrated. So I was thinking what's wrong here. Is my ego holding me or am I so afraid to lose control? I do feel a great potential in psychedelics. I know they can change me for the better. But I just can't seem to understand how to use them. Any suggestions? Would be happy to hear your thought on the matter. Maybe you have similar experiences?

Do you take any medications? How much time has elapsed between your experiences?

No medications. Time between trips anything from one week to several months.

I have a high tolerance as well, stop going in with expectations on what it should or shouldn't be, or should or shouldn't feel like, just let whatever happens happens.
You're getting frustrated because it's not what you think it should be, or that your friends are experiencing what you think it should be and you aren't, when the whole point of tripping is letting go.
An 1/8th to me is like 2g most for most of my friends at least in the way we seem to handle the experience, and most of the time I didn't reach as high as I wanted to go, but as soon as I swallow them, I just ride out whatever comes, even if it wasn't as much as I intended.
Might get shit for this, but they're fun, and supposed to be fun, just enjoy it, laugh at your friends when they're being goofy and they'll probably laugh with you, if the mush wants to show you the spiritual aspect or help you gain insight into your life, they'll do that, but don't expect them to, just enjoy whatever happens.
The higher tolerance does suck a giant one though, every time I have to take more then my friends or else they're going bananas and I'm not, but usually they just keep me entertained if they go higher then me. It's extremely hard for me to "get out there" but when it happens, it's incredible, eventually you'll find some shroomies that kick your ass into the next dimension, in the mean time, just try to have fun with it.
Never kept count but I've tripped easily over 30 times, and probably had 2 or 3 trips ONLY that really blew me away, all on shrooms too, acid just can't get me to the same place but other people claim it can.

Thanks for the reassuring words. I guess that's the problem. I can't just let go. Next time will take a smaller amount 2-3g and go up from there. Or maybe I should try tripping alone, haven't done it since my bad trip on al-lad but in retrospect, the bad trip was the most interesting experience in my life. those thought loops were insane 2-3 trips out of 30.., that's hard )
