You should take a full tab imo for your first time. Playing it safe seems normal for most drugs, but for LSD you only get one first time, and it will be the most lifechanging. Target at least 250ug IMO
>What can I expect to see/ hear?
You'll see colors more vividly, patterns will be strange (flakes in the wall, feathers, your cat... etc).
You'll hear thing you don't normally think about. Doors closing, toilet water flushing in pipes, lawnmower.
The things you hear will approach a deeper part of your mind.
>How will I know it's not 2CB and safe(or that it's really LSD)?
Test it with Ehrlich and Marquis reagent. You can buy it on amazon or from elevation chemicals.
Ehrlich turns a deep and sudden purple, marquis will not react. Anything else, throw it out.
If you don't test it, then follow the rule "if it's bitter, it's a spitter". LSD has absolutely no taste. If you're further suspect, then just swallow the tab. Your stomach acid can destroy some materials, but not LSD. I don't advise swallowing it however. If you have doubt, don't take it. Just wait a while and buy better tabs.
>Will you know if it kicks in or when you come down and if so, how may I sober myself up(I don't want to get caught)?
You'll act and speak oddly for the remainder of the day.
Timeline:
-put it in your mouth
-30 minutes later, you feel effects
-next 2 hours, "high"
-next 8 hours, "comedown"
-next 48 hours, fatigue
>How can I ensure a good trip, but also, how may I ensure my safety?
Just realax. Don't control anything in your head. Learn to let go. Bad trips are caused by trying to control too many things. The natural response we have to fear is to control. If you don't want LSD to elicit fear, then don't control. Just let go.
I had a recurring nightmare my whole life. Very bad, very scary. It revealed to me on LSD and I was at first afraid "shit I need to stop thinking about this NOW or I'm fucked" but then I realized "Remember what your friend said, no control"
