so i did acid with a few friends like 8 months ago, and i had a terrible time. i took 2 tabs i wasnt having many visual effects besides thinking a light was shining from behind, felt like all my friends hated me and were talking shit about me the whole time and just felt completely insane on top of that. i was like going in a panic in my head over why they hated me what did i do wrong like the entire time haha. so yeah not to great. so im wondering is that a sign i shouldnt do it anymore or maybe try again in the future. i could go with or without but it seems like a cool thing to expierence when its the good trips i hear about. but i definately dont want to go thru that shit again
If acid is something that interests you and you didn't experience significant problems other than it defying your mental and emotional expectations than I say go for it. Perhaps you can go on the next trip with more of an idea of what to expect, have greater respect for the trip, and choose who you surround yourself with and where you decide to trip more wisely.
This is a tough call, on the one hand you could have been in a poor set/setting for your first trip and your next one will be great, on the other hand you sound like my friend who took LSD, experienced extreme paranoia and delusions, had a psychotic break, and thought he was jesus christ reincarnated for a very long time. It's been 4-5 years since that night and he's just now starting to seem healthy. Please be very careful, you said yourself you don't want to go through that shit again. LSD isn't for everyone.
did your friends also take LSD that night, or were you the only one tripping? if they were sober, i'm not surprised that you felt a bit paranoid or awkward around them. you really have to put a lot of thought into your setting for an LSD trip. only do it around very close friends or loved ones. and understand that LSD alters your thought process to a pretty extreme extent, before it gives you groovy visuals. you can't get visuals without the mind trip too, with LSD.
