You can experience all the drugs there are and psychedelics will still be totally different and new. Just give him the hit, he'll be fine.

His mental stability is probably the only thing that needs serious questioning.
Just explain to him, in detail, what he may feel, see, think about, etc.
but leave some room for curiosity. Then load up, and send that sailor down river.

Prepare well musically. Some good, happy songs can pull you out of the most horrific of trips.
"Just let go" is very good advice. Tell him that no matter what happens, he should simply let everything play out to the end- the only nasty trips I've had have been as a result of struggling with the drug and leaving things unresolved. Let the drug finish showing you what it is trying to show you.
Only the first three or four hours are likely to get at all shaky- the last ten or so hours of an acid trip, for most people, are incredibly peaceful. Just make sure your friend realises that he must completely submit to what he is witnessing, and will be back to mundane reality a short time after. He has not gone insane, is not going to die, and can gain nothing but knowledge from the experience. He should be fine.

I also jumped straight to Acid after only being a very light weed smoker. I absolutely loved it, it wasn't nearly as intense as I thought it would be or anything. Of course there's nothing wrong with a 1/2 hit if he still has doubts.

Excellent reply here!
I would add that when I started doing it, it was scary at first, but then I convinced myself that I was on a journey - an excursion of the mind, and that I was invited by the higher-ups (not any physical entity) to take part in this exercise. When I felt the trip becoming more intense, I would convince myself (as if I were the higher-up entity talking to myself as the novice) that this was me being invited to another higher level, and they were pleased with my performance in the earlier stages. I was happy to be one of the few who were allowed this opportunity, and I was hoping they would take me to the top, so I could learn the untimate truth of existence. Of course, that never happened, and I took the wearing-off of the drug to mean that I was done for now, and that I should see my own way out.
When you're sober, none of this makes much sense. You'll probably only relate to this after you have tried it yourself.
