I have never had the opportunity to try LSD before, but my friend contacted me recently and said he is able to get hold of some microdots (he didn't say which kind). I am reasonably experienced with drugs (weed, E, coke, salvia, shrooms)and I absolutelylove magic mushrooms, buthaven't done them for several monthson account of them being made illegal this July

My questions are
1. Most importantly, I know microdots are supposed to be much stronger than blotters so is it a good idea for me to takeit as a first trip?If so, how much of the microdot do you recommend taking? Does it really depend on the type? How many hits are the various microdots worth?
2. How similar is the LSD trip qualitatively to the mushroom trip (I know it is of a longer duration)? What I mean by this is, do you get the same sense of overwhelming euphoria, cosmic enlightenment, oneness with the universe, peace and contentment within yourself (I've never had as bad trip, but I always make sure the set andsettingare right) etc. Are the visuals similar? Are the visuals stronger? Do you have more or less control? . . .etc.
3. What are the best ways to ensure a good trip?Making sure theset and setting are right is obviously a priority but is there anything specific to LSD I should be warned of?
4. What's the chronology of the trip like eg come up for an hour peak for an hour come down gradually/sharply over the next 2-4 hours . . . ?
Actually, that was quite a few questions! Thanks in adnvance for anyone who can be bothered to answer them.
