Good! It looks like you've got yourself a pretty decent setting. Unless your friends parents are going to be home. I don't know anything about them or anything but I assume you've already thought about that. You probably won't be inebriated, as in, you'll be able to perform tasks, but you probably won't want to talk to anyone that is sober or anything. I don't think that LSD is really a drug that makes you anxious, but if you become anxious, it can definitely heighten that anxiety. Having anxiety while on acid will make the trip feel stronger, which can cause more anxiety, so just be mindful to keep yourself in a good space. If you don't like something about what's happening, change it rather than let it eat at you. The other thing that people talk about a lot when planning a trip is 'set', or your mental headspace. Acid is a treat from the gods, and it's definitely something that you should respect. When you wake up in the morning, put on some good music or something. Relax. You'll probably be excited, that's perfect. Eat a good breakfast and do stuff that you enjoy doing. Today is gonna be a great day. Meet up with your friend and be ritualistic about it, I think the process of taking acid is almost as fun as the trip itself.
Some tips I have from my personal experience:
1. When you are ready to put the tab in your mouth, put it on the front of your tongue. Not the very tip, but back a bit. This is when I find people like to take pictures of themselves with the tab on their tongue to look back on later. The tab should start to absorb your saliva, which will make it less dry and easier to move around your mouth. You're going to want to hold it under your tongue for a while. Some people swear the tab will 'dissolve' under there, I have never experienced this. It might be a little uncomfortable, to hold it under your tongue, but try to keep it there for at least 10 minutes. I recommend 20 to a half hour. You can feel free to move it around or bring it back up to the top of your tongue.
2. Don't go on an adventure before you start tripping. I recommend staying in a safe, comfortable room from the time you take it until you feel it. I still don't recommend leaving the room for a while unless you so feel compelled to, just because a change of scenes like that brings in a lot of new stimulus at a time where your body is already processing a bunch of new stimulus. If you're already outside and you start tripping, it could cause you some anxiety. There's plenty of time for adventures later, this trip is going to last you 8-12 hours.
3. Don't be afraid. There's no good reason to put yourself in a negative head space. You're only taking one tab, so I think it would be pretty hard to have a 'bad trip' or anything like it. I wouldn't even concern yourself about it, if you start thinking about if you're having (or going to have) a bad trip, it's just going to stress you out.
4. Manage your expectations. You probably have a lot of preconceptions about what an acid trip is like. Usually, these preconceptions are not true. It's really hard to explain what an acid trip feels like, but the visual component of LSD is more like an afterthought than the primary effect of the drug. You
will see moving shapes, patterns, designs, colors, etc. It will probably not be overwhelming, or even as intense as you expect it to be. You're also probably going to have a lot of mental effects that are difficult to describe. If you're not prepared, it can catch you by surprise. I know people who have taken LSD and been adamant that they are not tripping very much at all because they didn't have visuals while they were walking, despite the fact that they were clearly messed up.
5. You're gonna feel weird. It's called
body load and I can't really describe it. It's just this general uncomfortable feeling. For me, it feels like my bones are vibrating a little bit, and nausea accompanies it. This isn't really a tip, just don't let it bother you.
6. Don't smoke weed for at least the first half of the trip. This includes before you come up. There's no reason to muddy the effects of LSD with weed in my opinion, so I never smoke weed while I'm tripping. Some people want to mix weed with everything, so if you're one of those people I recommend at least having a good half of your trip on just acid before you 'spice it up'. Beware that if you do smoke weed, it's likely to make the effects much stronger, which might sound like a good thing at first but IMO never really is. If you feel underwhelmed by your trip, then I guess you can smoke, but I wouldn't recommend just being like "this is dope I wanna turn up the volume" and smoking.
7.
This is probably the most important point. Just because you are consuming a drug that is on blotter paper doesn't mean it's LSD. If it's not LSD, you don't want it in your body. The good news is, it's extremely easy to tell if it's real LSD or not. If it's not real LSD, it's going to taste worse than anything you've ever put on your tongue before. Keeping it in your mouth for even 10 minutes will be difficult, and the taste will linger forever. IMO, it's not worth it. "If it's bitter, it's a spitter." It'll be a huuuuge disappointment, but do yourself a favor and spit it out.
8. Don't expect to sleep for at least 12 hours. If you can, that's great for you, but don't count on it. It might even be difficult to sleep for up to 14 hours after. When you wake up, you might even still feel it a little. I find the visual effects tend to linger longer than the mental ones, and many times I have woken up the next day with a little bit of warping. Usually I also experience an 'afterglow' that just makes the next day very pleasant.
9. Prepare yourself. Just do some research.
This video is very cheesy but also very entertaining. I do have to provide a warning though, this guy is describing an EXTREMELY STRONG dose of LSD at least three to five times stronger than what you will feel. He will talk about seeing 3d geometry like virtual reality, he'll talk about ego death, he'll talk about becoming one with the universe and talking to aliens. None of that will likely happen to you. That doesn't mean none of it applies, though.
This video is also pretty good. Don't over-prepare though.
10. Have a great time. Acid is awesome. You'll remember this trip forever.
