I don't know why but I love reading about people freaking out while high, here are two of my favorites http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=8485 http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=6476
I actually found the one about the kid trying a window pane when he was 14 and then being diagnosed schizophrenic to be laughable; it was the bit about him passing by a dead and bloody body... There's a really awesome one on there about someone who made an LSA extract and got 3 tabs of very potent blotter. It's just awesome.
You'd have to read it; although it does turn rather bad as the kid wound up hurting himself. But then he goes on to say that no one should ever do LSD because he was diagnosed with schizophrenia after using it; I just found that to be amusing.
I'm sorry, but this one is absolutely hilarious: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=7350 Not only does he make the mistake of not waiting for the stuff to kick in, he gets himself lost. Quick thinking...
the one time i ate acid by the end of the night i was balled up on the floor crying like a little girl convinced i was dying of aids...hehe, how i ever got that idea in my head i don't know, but it was so vivid that i made myself go get an aids/hiv test...but after all was over i thought it was pretty funny....
man, bad trips SO arnt funny. even just thinking about them from reading this thread makes my hands get sweaty and my heart beat going faster. it´s been over a year and a half since i had my first bad trip and i still get freaked out by things that happened (i had eaten mushrooms, btw)
True. Why the hell does everyone shun bad trips? What do you think shamans experience? Bad trips are what brings the most enlightenment to your life; believe it or not, they are actually good in the end. Having fear for another bad trip after experiencing one is throwing away the ability to AVOID that next bad trip.
ive had one bad trip and one good trip both on shrooms my good one was mild but my bad one was intense, it wasnt really scary just more annoying but when i was straightening up all i could think was never again am i doin this. but the next day i was dying to get more shrooms lol.
Bad trips eh? Yeah I had one of those. Thought I was having a heart attack. Paramedics rushed me off to hospital in an ambulance. You know they put those little things on your finger that beep out your heartbeat? It was going crazy Beep Beep Beep Beep at a million beeps a minute but I was sure I was dead and kept saying so to the Paramedic. He kept re-assuring me "You're alive I'm talking to you, you can hear you heartbeat on the monitor" Imagine the shock then when we got to the hospital and he had to detach me from the machine to get me inside and took the thing from my finger, the monitor flatlined Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep I lay there saying "I fucking told you I was dead! You lied to me, I'm a ghost ya fucker" Nothing he could say would convince me otherwise. Eventually I said "So save me, hit me on the heart or something!" He looked me straight in the eye and said "The only thing we need to prevent you from ever doing this again is a video camera and for you to watch the tape in the morning" I thought "He's cool" That was my bad trip! Love Ben xxx
Try 780 mg of Dextremothorphan and having your parents rush you to the ER for lack of knowledge of what is going on. That would have been a bad trip if I knew what the fuck was going on; but my ego was destroyed and I felt like I was just observing what went on, that I wasn't me... It was pretty cool, except for the fact that I was getting my stomach pumped, and had to drink charcoal, and my parents found out that I had been smoking pot... I also found out that doctors are fucking assholes that day... the one came in and told me I tested positive for opiates and anti-depressants; they thought it was an attempted suicide... Well, Dextremothorphan has some chemicals (or whatever it is) that are similar to opiates, so that explained that. The anti-depressants were a false read-out as I hadn't taken any for at least 6 months. Then they said there was something they couldn't identify... hell if I knew what it was. My mom asked me if I'd done LSD (which I had, but almost a month before hand), and I said no because many hollucigens are out of your system in 3 days. Anyway, to make a long story short, I got out and my parents threatened to throw me out if they ever caught me smoking pot again after I got ticketed a few months later.
LOL @ ben yea byrd, the same thing happened to my friend, cept it was kinda my fault. see he had been up almost all night on coriceden, and he rode my bus home that day, and i was planning on eating 4 hits of acid, so i was like cmon man just eat the rest of yer coriceden so we can trip together. i started sketchin out kindof, and i was like man we gotta get out my house, my moms goin be home soon, so we made the mistake of going to his house, where His mom was alreadyy home... and she could def. tell her son was fucked up, and here i am tripping balls off of some blotter trying to convince her hes alright, pulling up erowid and shit... but she took him to the ER neways.. i felt kinda bad for him..
Yes, but 780 mg of DXM meant 104 mg of the anti-histamine in CCC; that's 4 times the suggested maximum by Erowid... I knew I'd made a mistake after I took the 26th pill; which is where I stopped. I even puked and probably got 6 or 8 of the pills out; but I guess it's better than dying.
Someone becoming schizophrenic as a result of a trip is NOT funny. A very close friend of mine is schizophrenic, it being triggered by a mushroom trip gone awry and a lot of stress/depression. I'm heartbroken after seeing such a good friend, be turned into such a mess. I went to visit him in the psych ward yesterday, and that has got to be one of the hardest things I've ever had to experience.
wow, yeah i have heard stories like that, not about people being schizophrenic but just taking too too much acid...
It doesn't happen to everyone. If you have a family history of mental illness you may be at risk, but most of the general population doesn't have anything to worry about. He's fucked over for along time though. He is convinced he can read people's minds, and that he is "The One". He also believes there is a dragon that flying around the sky above the hospital waiting for him to get out. He believes he has magical and divine powers. He pulled the E-brake on his mom while they were driving down the highway at 120km/h. He's burnt huge holes in his forearms, just to see if he was "real". He even has a guard posted out his door 24/7. It's a sad existance really. Imagine how scared and alone he must feel, completely convinced that what he is seeing,feeling, touching and thinking is all real...and then to have someone tell you that what you've been living is not truly reality. Blah, now I'm depressed.
whats with skitzophrenics believing everyhting? is it impossible for them to understand that theyre skitz and that the magical things they think are not real? why are they so stubborn? waht is with that disease? im saying it out of inquiry not ignorance too. and waht determines the crazy worlds and identities skitzophrenics create? jsut teh first thing that comes into their minds when they become skitz? caus it seems these identities and beleifs stay with them until they manage to cure.
I never said it was funny that the guys schizophrenia surfaced after the trip, I just found it humourous that he advised everyone to never do acid because you might wind up like him when there are people out there that actually research their family history for mental disorders before trying the stuff. Besides, he jumped into it eagerly and ignorantly.
