considering the avg hit is only about 20ug to 80ug now a daze you should atleast eat one. Sad to think that in the 60 it was any where from 200ug up to a 1000ug...
theres a difference between being anxious for the trip and being nervous or worried about whats going to happen. ive guided dozens of mates thru trips tellin them theyll be fine and havent had a bad trip yet accept the one i had taking acid by myself. i agree not every one will be able to calm there nerves completly but ive found the come up is the time that decides what most of your trip is gonna be like. but if your droppin a half tab or only 1 tab theres not alot to be worried about ive seen people go on heroic doses (4-6 strong blotters) for there first times and come out fine just because they were not worried about what was happening and they had supportive people around them. im not saying you should do this, but ive seen people do it
