The ever so elusive BAD TRIP

The title kind of describes it. I have dropped acid over one hundred times, smoked DMT twice, taken various RCs numerous times, taken DXM, K, MG and HBWR seeds, and Ive been eating mushrooms since I was 14 so countless times. I have NEVER had a bad trip. EVER. I have been with people bad tripping so many times, I have spent many a trip helping a brother or sister out of a bad trip, but I have never had one myself. Ever. I have had very brief moments of negativity and doubt but I strayed away from them within minutes. I think the closest I have ever came to having a "bad trip" was on DXM and I realized I was completly insane, but about 2 minutes later I accepted it and was as happy as can be. LSD is so bright, happy, joyous, and wonderful. I dont think I could ever have a bad trip on acid. Sure, intense psychedelic experiences can be... unsettling? But I have always loved the vortexes of inner everything. It just feels so "real" and "right". I love them so much. One time, a friend of mine was looping so bad and walking in circles repeating himself on DOC. I was on the same amount as he was, the cops showed up beacuse the neighbors heard him, and I talked to the African serpant spider cop man with ease. His reptillian eye slits bore into me, but he made me happy. Everything makes me happy when I trip.

Is there anyone else out there, with lots of psychedelic experience, who has never had a bad trip?

 

experience spanning 30 years and had a very few memorably bad ones mostly because of my state of mind at the time. Divorce of first marriage with kids involved made for one bad trip among other things. But they can happen.

Try getting booked for dui and go to jail on acid if your looking for a bad trip!

 

Hahaha, I would not even think about getting into a situation like that when I trip. The worst situation I have ever been in when I was tripping was in north philly. I was visiting my friend in college, and we had a shit load of DOC, and we went to a party but it sucked. So we decided to just roam around philly at 2 in the morning. We ended up in north philly, and ended up getting jumped by six black guys. They beat us up, not too bad, and ran our pockets. Too bad for them everything we had on us was in his dorm room so they walked away empty handed. I didnt feel bad though, I actually felt bad for the black dudes. I didnt feel any of the blows at all except for the initial hit which I felt the next day. He walked up to us, asked for a cigarette, and we said we didnt have any, so I got a fist full of quarters to my upper lip. One side of my lip was huge and the other side was completly deflated. It was quite funny the next day. I still had a great time.

 

Think about it this way: youve never been in a situation like going to jail on acid. All of us would agree that it would probably put you in a bad trip.

Whats the difference between that, and walking down the street in public? People can turn down bad trips form this sort of experience.

Perhaps this is because each person has their own ideas about the world and in some way people's ideas of being in public resemble those of being in jail (or something like that), because they feel obliged to react in a certain way and loose their freedom.

IVe had bad moments in trips.. never a Bad Trip. I think that any trip is undoubtedly going to go sour at some point but it should only last a little while, after which you get over it.

So the 'bad trippers' have two potential problems:

Skewed ideas about society's expectations of them

Inability to reassess their situation (and thus get stuck in negative loops when they find them, which may last the entire trip and longer)

 

Try living in North Philly lol, you dont even need psychedelics to have a trip
South West is just as much fun!

 

i have never had a bad trip either. although my thoughts on a bad trip might be a little different than most ppls. i tend to gravitate towards the darker sides of my trips for some reason. all my friends talk about having "bad trips" but i honestly dont believe in them. in my eyes these so called bad trips are jus really intense trips. i like wen things get intense, its wen u really learn about ur self.

 

A large number of my solo trips are dark but i wouldnt say they were bad. i just welcome the feelings that come and continue on.

edit: actually the worst trip i had was when i ate 2 blotters of DOx and thought it was acid. worst 36 hours of my life...

 

I love DOx compounds

 

no bad trips for me, but one or two rather uncomfortable experiences, and some extremely uncomfortable experiences with salvia before, too.

 

I absolutly love any salvia above 50x

 

Never had a bad trip, and never will...unless i decide to trip in a bad state of mind. I have been in really BAD situations on shrooms, but i just kept it real and dealt with the problem without freaking out.

 

I've had 6 bad trips. Never freaked out, just crossed over into the realm of actual insanity rather than pretend insanity.
I didnt start to have these kinds of overwhelming experiences until after I turned 21.
I wouldnt judge any trip as bad because of freaking out, but because they are all that is the opposite of what we would call good.
If you've tripped a few hundred times and havent had one yet, give it time, your almost ready for it
Namaste ~

 

I wouldent say i have the best! but in the past 4 years ive eatin acid almost 5 to 8 times a month, and ive had a couple bad trips, one really bad, if you ever saw silent hill, i thought i was in it...

 

i've had some very negative trips, but eye opening nonetheless, i should have known beforehand.
it's that "deaf poison"; alcohol
which kept me, floor footed.

 

ive had alot of bad trips. probably about half the times ive done shrooms it was bad at some point, but it usually ends good.

 

A couple years ago on some mushrooms I was convinced a nuclear war was starting. This was when there were large wild fires near my area, and all of the smoke filled the sky, and made the entire sunset and sun bright, bright red. I just started panicking, and crying, and rushing on my bicycle to find help. I ended up giving away all of my bud and the rest of my mushrooms because I was convinced it was poison

 

I'm not a big fan of the amphetamine feeling it gives. To each their own I suppose.

 

none of my mushroom trips have been completely good or completely bad... same with acid so far even though i've only tripped three times on it.

the comedown is usually what gets to me... i have a hard time letting go of the freedom and integrating back into being normal. it's usually pretty confusing.

 

the freedom is always there, inside you. you just can't live there forever, just like a fish can't live on land forever, although the land is always there for it if it wishes to flop about on it blindly for a short while

 

I've only had one bad trip and it was because of a girl.

Earlier in the day before we tripped, she was like "i'm done forever with someone" then later at night, I learned that right after I went to work, they hung out the whole time.

Then while tripping she didn't really have any sympathy for me, and kind of ignored me. Then what caused the "bad trip" was when she just went into another room and wouldn't talk to me at all.


But, that was the worst part and it was near the end, so I had around 5-7 hours of a good trip too
