My best experience with acid was a good ole hippy fest out in the woods. 200-400 people, pretty much all on some combination of drugs. Giant fires scattered about, groups wandering the forest paths laughing. There was even a too fucked up to function tent where the REALLY messed people could just kinda lie down xD.
LSD is definitively a social kind of trip experience thing.
Shrooms though....I do suggest you give them their fair shot xD. Do as McKenna says though, 5g, take is in a room by yourself and just wait for it. You will not disappointed I promise xD Darkness also helps. A trick I have learned about calming down, if you ever find the need. The "oh shit wtf is going on" kinda feeling, start losing grip. IF that happens, and you have a joint or a bowl ready, just smoke a bit and reality will creep back. I don't know why, but it works.
I probably won't do it, I enjoyed what I did and what I felt and that is that. This is just the story of what happened not, a gateway for me to discover the world of psy.As long as people are enjoying the story it makes me happy I made them enjoy something.

I have a few questions.
1) What if any other psychedelic drugs have you tried and how does LSD compare? 2) Does this experience make you want to continue doing LSD or to never try it again? 3) Does this experience make you want to seek out different hallucinogenic drugs such as mushrooms, peyote, salvia, or DMT? 4) What sort of effect did music have on you? If you do it again you should try listening to psychedelic music to accompany your trip.
Just to clarify LSD causes Psychological dependance and also has Drug-potentiation properties i.e you'll need more to get high after each time. Its does not cause physical dependance and hence is not "technically" habit-forming but I would not really say that matters much once your brain is hooked on to it anyway! Please take care and I echo Zlashers suprise at this being a thing to be proud about. Not after you see what that stuff does to you in the end, I guess. http://www.drug-addiction-support.org/LSD-Addiction-Stories.html Not everyone has the same degree of self-control as the other so encouraging LSD experiences is really not the way to go imo. But nice post anyway and I have rated it as such. GL HF!
I tried it before I had 1 tab, wasn't really impressed it felt rather dull but it could be that it was 1 tab. Everything was slightly red and some face waves happened.
5-6 tabs sounds intense OP but I don't think I can devote that much time for tripping.

LSD doesn't cause psychological dependence and you only need more to get high each time if you are doing it insane amounts. I know the director of the National Addiction Center here in New Zealand personally, and he agrees and has even held lectures on the benefits of hallucinogenic drugs including LSD (esp. when compared to alcohol).
You're right about not encouraging others to DO it though. If they are interested, I encourage others to research the drug themselves and figure out whether it's something they would like to try, but never to just do it without knowing what they're getting themselves into.
Also, to those saying that you won't get any of the real LSD effects under 2 tabs, I think it is highly dependent on the person/batch. When I first tried acid I took 1 tab and I pretty much got the whole acid package, whereas the people I was with had a much duller high (same batch). 2 tabs got me synesthesia while, once again, the people I was with had a comparatively dull high. Point is, the amounts vary person to person, so it's better to err on the side of caution in case you are like me. There is nothing worse than having ingested 1.5 tabs and feeling like you've been hit with 4, and having to spend the next 12 hours in a state you're not comfortable with.
Anyway, cool story OP. It's crazy how much you appreciate simple things while on acid. I did it at a bach with a bay view while the sun was shining, birds were chirping, and with Van Morrison playing. It was literally like an emotional/intellectual orgasm. I don't think I've ever experienced that sort of beauty besides that one occasion.

These are all difficult questions to answer definitively, but I'll try however discursively or circuitously to explain why as I attempt the permanently-out-of-reach-when-discussing-psychoactive-drugs definite answer.
1) Assuming that phenethylamines (e.g. MDMA, 2CB) and disassociatives (e.g. DXM, ketamine) aren't considered psychedelics, then mushrooms and LSD are probably the easiest point of comparison, but - and I understand this is commonly typed sentence - different people react differently to different substances. I have a friend who loved every mushroom trip he had and cried every time he did LSD, whereas acid I adored every time and mushrooms I felt ambiguous about. Not especially bad, per se, but not good either. I also ate heavy doses most of the time - in a dozen or so mushroom trips, I only ate less than 5 grams four times or so, and for acid I took three tabs every time, minimum (not including trips where I mixed these two) - so my reactions may be more extreme than most.
Basically, mushrooms were a lot faster coming on, speedier at peak, and gone faster than acid. Mushrooms also generally robbed me of my speech and resonated thoroughly through the body. Acid did not have those guttural tones and was a lot more lucid, almost exclusively aesthetic, and longer lasting. I went to a few concerts on acid; I would never gone to a concert on mushrooms. I could trip on mushrooms for eight hours and fall asleep easily; I stayed up for 36 hours straight more than a few times on acid.
2) I haven't touched drugs (for the most part) in nearly three years, but acid was hands down my favourite drug. That said, I was a pothead eating various psychoactives like candy at the time, and now I'm fairly boring; I wouldn't do acid now because I've seen it dismantle less steeled people.
3) When salvia isn't fucking around, it's infinitely stronger and less comfortable than 'shroom/acid trips, but the shorter duration is much easier to handle. Salvia crests in the first few minutes, after which you feel around an hour of discomfort, whereas mushrooms last for eight hours or so, acid even longer (in my experience).
Peyote and mescaline are nearly impossible to find outside of specific Native American reserves these days; I wouldn't count on getting it. Even if someone tells you they have or have done mescaline (powder), they could very easily have been duped into buying PCP.
Never did DMT. Never saw it.
4) Acid tends to amplify sensations, so in the interest self-subjection to foreign stimuli for 'trippier' experiences, listen to something you think you'll like but aren't overly familiar with. Albums I was certain would amplify or be amplified by the acid came up empty because I had listened to them hundreds of times before and could anticipate every moment, but albums I was only vaguely familiar with always delivered maximum results.
The downside to this is these albums will summarily be unable to top the experience and will very quickly fall out of rotation forever, but you'll always have the memories however distorted.

That site you linked is terrible and thinks LSD = Heroin. What the hell are you even talking about??? LSD is probably the lowest drug on the addiction scale.
