It's definitely one of the drugs that can most easily come back to bite you in the *** later. Partly because it can literally give you a second trip way down the line, when you aren't in any kind of safe atmosphere and will probably freak out. Partly because you have no way of knowing if you're going to have a good or bad trip, no way of controlling that, and that whether or not the trip is good doesn't even come from the chemical itself.
Shrooms are the same there. Guy from work once got chased by a friend with a knife after he had a bad trip. His friend thought he was a monster and decided he needed to slay him.
Really, anything that's a major hallucinogen can @#%^ you up, badly.
the second trip thing is urban legend.
the knowing about a good or bad trip thing is true if you don't either have a guide or know what you are doing. having a good setting, group and mindset can really make or break a trip. then again randomly taking acid can be a lot of fun but doing that sort of thing is not something aeth should do as it is his first time. the point being that making sure you feel safe is also something i'd strongly recommend.
shrooms are just HILARIOUS. ya, you can get in a weird way but again if you have done a lot of psychedelics you can usually get your head back into a good place. the kicker with them is they start off intense then taper off so if you aren't ready for that initial burst of otherness...
mescalin is more like acid than shrooms. can tend to be a bit more visual though. only done it like 3-4 times so not as familiar with it is acid or mushrooms.
edit: in case it wasn't obvious i've done a sh
it ton of acid and mushrooms.
