i've wanted to try acid for a while now but as some people are im afraid of having a bad trip. if i do end up doin it i will have someone with me to make sure i dont freak so im not super worried just a bit. i also have no idea where to get LSD is this tiny ass community so i mihgt not even get to do it. i kinda whant to try something that last less time but still does kinda the same thing as acid because if it is a bad trip i dont want it to last hours plus i dont want to spend a fuck ton on acid. weeds expensive enough. ok kinda a rant sorry but i just wanna know if anyone can help me with some of this shit
mushrooms don't last as long and might be easier to find. It is possible to have a bad trip of course but its much less likely if you aren't dealing with any major emotional/mental issues or entering the experience with fear.
Acid is medicine, you can't be worried about good or bad trips just take the plunge. But that's something you can only know after you've done it. Think of it as learning history or something - you might learn some horrible things, wars and famines which happened in the past, but you're better off having learned them. If you don't want to know, stay away. But definitely have someone with you and stay safe, though I prefer doing it alone.
Just take it. Find it and take it. Stay outside. Thats what I do. Ive tripped maybe 10 times? and i just go outside with some friends and walk, go to the lake, sit in a hammock, you know. Hippie shit haha. Ill talk to trees and everything. Just dont be afraid of having a bad trip. Be care free. And most of all. HAVE FUN
If you really have a bad trip on acid it's unlikely anybody beside you can help you. Your entire being will be at the mercy of the most divine energy you could never have imagined. Being this afraid of having a bad trip is a good indication that you are not ready. You are ready when you are ready to have a bad trip if that's what the cost is.
Be in a good mental place or don't bother. You are literally being opened up to every mental possibility in the universe in your own brain: It can be an experience of light/dark. If you're not ready to experience Divine Love and Connection, you're not ready for LSD.
what excactly makes a bad trip bad? is it losing contanct with reality? or what? because i think if im with ppl i shud be fine shouldnt i?
Mushrooms lasts shorter if you want to go that route. Some people say they are more intense, I don't really think so, I think they feel heavier in that they sit in my stomach and I feel poisoned but most of the time mushrooms are a pretty light hearted, good natured trip, I just have to do it lying down usually because of the feeling in my stomach. The analogy of LSD being like a rollercoaster I think is very accurate to someone who has never taken LSD, but once you have the experience let us never speak of rollercoasters again. It's similar to that though in the sense of you are being forced through all these different feelings and emotions like a rollercoaster really quickly. It's thrilling, can be alot of fun, somewhat scary and frightening at some points, you want it to stop occasionally while on it but then it's over before you know it. Where the analogy falls really short I think is that LSD has an aspect where you can learn from it and understand how you and your mind work and that can last well beyond the experience, it's possible to confront repressed memory and some of your shortcomings though which can often be 'scary' but usually i've found myself thankful for those kinds of experiences afterwards.
Yes. You will lose contact with reality (or normal, everyday reality at that), there's not denying that, but a bad trip is where your environment gives you bad vibes so you freak out and have bad or paranoid thoughts which in turn might make you do stupid things.
but when it's over you'll have gained knowledge from the experience and whether you choose to continue experimenting you'll carry that knowledge with you forever. it's not just about fun and games...and sometimes a good cry is therapeutic when things get to be too much.
it's just a figure of speech...it takes the negative connotation away from calling it a bad trip. difficult trips are uncomfortable but worthwhile and beneficial if you open yourself up to the experience and appreciate it for what it is. i was off psychedelics for the latter half of my teenage years and my early twenties because of a mushroom trip i had. i had stayed up with a friend and we were getting to know each other and talking about our life experiences and his life seemed so much more fulfilling than mine. when he finally crashed out and i was the only one up my mind filled with negative thoughts...about how unsatisfied i was with myself and my life..that i wasn't who i thought i was going to be..or that i hadn't turned out to be who i had always wanted to be. that i wasn't liked by many people or even understood by them. the sun began to come up and i cried very hard. it took me years to recover from the depth of sadness i felt that night. THAT is a difficult trip..but ultimately it was beneficial..because as hard as it is to experience something like that..the only way to grow beyond it is to go THROUGH it. psychedelics will bring things like that to the top of your mind so you can deal with them..learn from them..and grow. you cannot run away. the wonderful thing about lucy...is that when you open yourself up to her...you can achieve an amazing feeling of self-surrender which will lead to self-acceptance. like i said..it's not all fun and games...that's just an added benefit : ) this reminds me of a song: Hey, embrace your pain You cannot run away And pain can be your friend As it explains The answers to your questions Consoles you in blue reflections Listens to your soul’s confessions Then leads you in new directions And all the while that you were waiting For love to keep the light from waning It’s pain that stops the heart from hating That cures the mind of hesitating That helps the soul in separating From everything that it’s been blaming Everything’s changing
Good trips and bad trips can both give life changing experiences that an individual will never forget; just drop the acid and see how things turn out. Constantly worrying about having a bad trip will only increase the chance of you actually having one.
Wrong. I dropped cid after my girlfriend of 2 years and I broke up. All i could see was her looking at me and i was crying in a corner freaking out. I wanted out of the trip so badly. There are bad trips but they are pretty rare i would say. Most of them are just people with anxiety.
Yes, but do you understand that the reason your trip was "bad" was because you took acid after you broke up with your gf of two years? Acid has one very simple effect on homo sapiens: It amplifies what you already are. If what you already are is "In pain because of my breakup", this is going to get amplified ten trillion fold. What makes a trip difficult is when the tripper is not ready to face the trip. If you're not ready to see your ex-girlfriend looking at you for hours in a vulnerable, open, psychedelic state, then you shouldn't be tripping at that point in your life. OP I can tell you from my limited experience you sound like you are not even close to ready for LSD. You have some growing up to do, and it would be pretty traumatic if that growing up came from a 8 hour psychedelic rape of everything of are and know. Prediction: You will change your sig quote after LSD.
I think there is a distinction between bad trips and difficult trips as well, perhaps its my need to just label different phenomena or something. A bad trip to me is more where you get scared by the incoming stimulus or effect of the drug. For instance if you are hallucinating a bush is chasing after you or you are hearing dead people talk and its scaring you, that is a bad trip to me. It is infrequent and ive never had it on LSD but it does happen. A difficult trip is more facing one of your own limitations or fears due to the drug allowing you to see it. Now I guess if you had some fear of trees the example in the last category could fit here, but I'm assuming the majority of us don't fear trees. Things in this category would be more like feeling like you are dying, thought loops, facing current emotional problems that derail the 'fun' of the trip.
Yeah i understand. It was my dumbass who forgot lucy would hurt me more then Alex did. But both girls are a bitch when they want to be haha
