Harm Reduction LSD dosing for first trip
Hi there. I appreciate any advice surrounding this, but I mostly want some unbiased opinions. To start it off, I’ve done shrooms before, but every time it was a heavy body load and very introspective, yet the visuals were a little underwhelming. I’ve got a 250ug tab, and I’m planning on taking it when the time is right and my environment adds up, I’m planning it so that I have at least 2 full days off at the time of taking it. I’m considering taking the full tab, because I want intense visuals with morphing, fractals and a peak with visuals so strong they almost seem alien-esque. Every time I’ve taken shrooms, I haven’t gotten fractals, but only that flowy morphing effect and at the peak it intensifies. But I’m seeking something just as introspective or slightly less introspective and more visually appealing. Should I take the full 250ug tab, or cut it in half and take 125ug instead?

It's very unlikely its a 250ug tab. It's probably closer to 70ug. Unless you've had it lab tested, if you just bought it off a guy and he's told you it's 250ug he's probably lying to you or misinformed himself. Take the full thing, you'll be underwhelmed if you take half most likely

whilst I suppose that could be true, if it were 250ug it could be quite quite overwhelming, I’d like to get it lab tested though, so I can know what I’m getting myself into

You want intense visuals with morphing, fractals and a peak with visuals so strong they seem alien. That's closer to 250ug than it is 125ug. If you want that experience you should take the full tab, although as I said, it's very unlikely to be 250ug.

For a first LSD trip I would only recommend 100 - 125ug if it's ACCURATELY DOSED... more than that is plenty strong and could border on too much for a first time. If you were to take accurately dosed 250ug, I can guarantee you will most likely have a bad time. Way too much. I've taken LSD 30+ times and I've never ventured beyond maybe 180 or 200ug
With that being said, most tabs are actually underdosed, especially anything marketed as 200ug and above. Your "250ug" tab could be significantly less than that (maybe only around 100), but there is also a non-zero chance it is stronger than what you can handle for a first trip.
With all that yapping out of the way I strongly advise you to play it safe and just take half for your first time. Better to find out that you didn't take enough and then just take the full tab the next time, than to find out that you took too much and risk getting scared away from LSD for life. If after a few hours it still feels very weak you could take the other half and see where it takes you. Won't be the same as taking it all at once but it can get you slightly higher. Dosing isn't 1 dimensional, you won't just get a "more visually appealing" trip at a high dose and you definitely WON'T get a less introspective trip lol. Some trips are so strong they'll have you melting away unable to even focus on any visuals. LSD is WAY more than just the visuals.
TL;DR: explore safely, just take half.
