Was your first trip good or bad?

Was your first ever trip a good one or bad one? And do you think you'd have done it again if your first time was horrible?

I'd say it was a difficult good trip. I took 1 or 2 doses of lsd and obviously had no idea what to expect. I think it hit me by surprise and had a lot of come up anxiety but was blown away at the peak. I did it again with a slightly higher dose a few weeks later. I was very intrigued.
It it had gone bad I'm not sure what would have happened. The first time I did mushrooms I took 30g wet, although am pretty sure I mis weighed it somehow because it was way way stronger than when I did 5g dry. It was a good over all but the intensity was extreme. I didn't trip for another 1-2 years after that.

Yeah same here. First trip was on LSD and was amazing, with just a little anxiety at various points. However, that first Mushroom trip was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay stronger than I expected and got pretty scary occasionally.

My first few trips were from some weak RC blotters, probably 25i-nbome. Nothing bad save for the body load that those chemicals commonly cause.
First real psychedelic experience was from 200ug LSD at night on a far away beach where I camped. Totally blew me away. I would repeat it 1000 times if I could.

First one was good it was like 2.5g dry and it was perfect. I didn't go too over the top, but I felt more than my terrifying salvia 10x experiment with none of the negatives, lol.
My last one (my trip report is in my sig) was the best, most intense yet on 6g dry.

I honestly thought I had ODed and was going to die.
The entire world just fell apart, everything was covered in fast changing neon colors, everything was just exploding into neon shapes, surfaces were transparent, the floor was this bright orange pattern, there were these blinking colored dots everywhere, I kept having out of body experiences where I was totally disconnected from reality and all I saw was colored shapes, I was reliving memories, I couldn't understand spoken language (just sounded like gibberish), and when I closed my eyes I saw rotating ever changing patterns of bright neon colored lights. That isn't even half of it. I had no idea what was going on. I felt terrified, sad, happy, everything all at once. When I realized I was coming down and I was going to be okay and wasn't going to die, it was one of the best feelings that I'd ever felt in my life.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but I don't know if I could bring myself to dose mushrooms that high again. It's different when you know what you're getting into.
Coincidentally, I also heard I am the Walrus for the first time while coming down. They just happened to be playing a bunch of Beatles songs on the radio when I turned it on. Craziest timing coincidence ever.

Being overwhelmed by sensations during a trip is not what is meant by having a bad trip. I'd argue that almost nobody's first or second trip is actually bad. It seems like this is very rare and that a couple of trips are required to loosen up some of the settled psychological material, bringing those to the surface, causing a bad trip due to being forcefully confronted with suppressed traumata.

My first mushroom trip was 2 grams and it was quite underwhelming, I barely got any visuals, there was no interesting headspace but I was super tired and had hard time staying awake. I pretty much thought that if I fell asleep I wouldn't wake and I tried to stay awake no matter what (even though I know now that it pretty much is impossible to sleep while trip is lasting). After 2 hours this stopped and I did bunch of greens and suddenly things were great, though still weak compared to later trips.
Overall I was disappointed with the first one but second one was total awesome with everything going right.

First time was amazing (3ish grams of pretty strong cubes in capsules at Burning Man). Changed the entire trajectory of my life.
I have a strong ego that I've been battling for quite some time. So I imagine if I had a bad trip, I'd never touch it again as that would be all the ammo my ego would need to keep me away from it (at least at the time).
My last trip was incredibly rough (1.5g APEs). Strongest trip I've ever had and my ego was literally ripped apart violently during the come-up. But, having had such eye-opening experiences in the past, I was able to understand why I had such a rough first half of the trip (my ego was afraid and resisting so hard).

my first trip was great, one of the best. Not a full on transcendental experience or anything, very few visuals, but one of the best nights of my life danced like jellyfish to Yoshimi and trampolined and then mostly talked about death for hours. A friend's big black dog became a symbol of death but we hung out with it and it was very chill so it felt like making peace with death.
My first LSD trip was also similarly perfect, though a much stronger experience where we ended up getting lost on my friends property somehow, and then just laying down in the woods and watching clouds turn into skeletons and the trees become giants and things for hours, and then when we reached the post-peak phase got our respective ipods and went to this huge 200 acre cow field where we watched a meteor shower and I properly listened to the grateful dead, one from the vault for the first time.
Later trips were all much less useful or pleasant than those two, so for me it seems I find some magic the first time on substances and then keep trying to find it again, only having shitty experiences though instead.
Happy to have had those first glowing trips, and maybe that's more than I should expect from these things anyway

It was un measured amount I'd say a 1.5-2g, it was great everything you would want, until... My 2 friends with me both took a lower dosage they I'm think where in the .7-1g range. they wanted to walk to store. Made it about 30 feet and my foot missed the pavement, when it landed in the sand I felt my whole body get covered in sand. i said nope GTG back. They kept going, I spent next 25mins being devoured by wormholes and spit out only to get EATEN AGAIN. They got back instantly back to good times. so bad and good!

My first full on trip was with DMT so naturally I was convinced I'd just accidentally killed myself, but then got blasted off to god knows where before I could think very much about it.
First ever experience with a trip though was when I got it into my head to try Yopo, which was extremely painful. The actual trip itself there was a total lack of pain, with mild visuals, but a very strong sense that a female entity was telling me that taking the stuff was the important thing. Then got the feeling my chest was being pushed before I suddenly snapped back sober and the intense pain returned. My nose wasn't right for a week afterwards, but it did push me to get hold of DMT so maybe that was a good trip.
The DMT trips usually scared the hell out of me, but I never went into psycedelics with the intention of enjoying it so I suppose that was a factor. If my first trips had been any more terrifying than they were I doubt it would have changed my drive to try again.

All your replys are awesome enjoyed reading this, it does seem rare that people have a difficult first trip Really interesting I would also repeat my first trip if I ever could, incredible and inspiring.

I kind of wonder if we don't hear about bad first trips often because a lot of people who have a bad first time just discount psychedelics entirely after the experience and therefore don't associate themselves with the psychedelic community. Who knows though, maybe the complete novelty of the experience makes almost everyone's first time stunningly magical.

I don't remember the first time I tripped. 
I can guess the year though, I think I know which year.

Had an amazing time. Took 1.5 grams of Pan. Cyans (Blue Meanies) and felt so good emotionally and spiritually through out it all. second time I took 3 grams and had full on CEV's.
