How strong is bad trip on shrooms?

[Jonsi]

I don't have too much faith in my mental capabilities of handling a bad trip... if what I've heard about what bad trips can do to some people, i have a feeling I could fall into a "likely" category for that. That being said, I've always heard about these life altering bad trips from lsd only though... so would a bad trip on shrooms be similarly devistating, or is it a different kind of bad trip? I want to try a psychedelic so bad, but like I said, I'm not to trusting of my mind.... I'll have a trip sitter, but still... For people who've been on shrooms, what's your thoughts on a bad trip?

I tried searching for this, but whatever I put in, the results came up with a shitload of shit about topics on shrooms I'm not interested in... and I'd rather get bitched at for a repost then potentially search for a long time to find one answer only to ressurect and old thread... hah.. So yeah

ii found that it's pretty easy to control the way your mind goes on shrooms and if you feel yourself falling into a bad trip, it's easy to pull out of it. just start small and work your way up and you will be fine.

If handled right, a bad trip on shrooms can be benificial. It kinda helps resurface ignored emotions and subconsiously sort shit out in your head. I love the enlightening feeling that comes after a shroom trip.
But even so, bad trips are rare. Just do it a day you want to have fun, and are confident in your mind.

I have had some really bad trips on acid (2 of them) 1 of whch was altering, as far as shrooms go I have had 1 trip that went very very bad due to unforseen circumstances otherwise would have been one of the best trips of my life and it altered me greatly.

The bad trips ive had on acid didnt alter me anything like the shroom's did, after my last bad acid trip I was kinda weird for a week or two but after my last bad shroom trip I was all fucked up for a good while 3 months or so.

I havent had a bad trip in almost 2 years now I think thats how long its been.

errr so I guess my point is that a bad trip on shrooms can be just as bad if not worse than a bad trip on acid all depends on dosage/enviorment/people with you/your mind set.

I recomend reading alot on tripping before doing it, http://www.shroomery.org/ thats a good place to start.

If you prepare yourself right and make sure your enviorment/mood/mind set and most importantly the people your with are good then you should be fine. Just dont think about bad trips all the time if you go into it thinking "O man im gona have a bad trip" then you'll just be condemned.


im rambling high so ill stop talking now hopefully this made sense.

they can look pretty bad, in 9th grade my friend ate an 8th. Smoked a joint with us and said he wasnt feeling it, he took about 2 shots of vodka. Later on this kid couldn't even move, he was just laying in a chair sweating more then I've ever seen any1 sweat, and he puked on him self a few times because he couldnt move. He said he saw freddy and jason lol and all kinds of shit.

It can get worst than you could imagine (if you haven't done shrooms before).

ok, you cant really have a bad trip on shrooms. a bad trip on shrooms is just you freakin out that your trippin sack. If you start freakin out you can easily calm yourself into a good trip. have the right people, settings, and mindset before doin em.

I ate three grams of Copelandias three days after having munched down 70
grams of fresh mushies over a six hour period. Needless to say, I was totally
and completely devastated both times. The first trip was a six hour mind fuck
that I really don't remember much of. I was curled up in the fetal position on
my bed just enjoying the journey. Very cool and interesting from the little I
remember.

My second trip on the tuesday was a whole other affair. I ate the three
boxes worth in one sitting. I was standing in line at H&M buying clothes when
it started coming on. Everything started moving around in wierd ways and I
started getting nauseous. I managed to put the clothes back on the racks
where they came from, why I did that I don't know. I walked fairly quickly
back to the hotel and walked up the steep ass stairs they have over there to
my room. By this time my stomach was churning rather badly and everything
was looking like it was under water, kind of wavy. I went straight to the
toilet because I thought I was gonna puke. After a couple of minutes without
throwing up I got up and laid on my bed. Five minutes later I was bowing to
the porcelain god again and this time I did puke. I puked so much I had a
nose bleed. So then I laid down again and I was out for three hours. Just a
barely remembered hell where I really wished ODing on shrooms was fatal so I
could be out of my misery.

I'm actually glad I don't remember much of that trip. I'm very unstable
mentally and I noticed a very definite mental clearing. That's not to say, do
shrooms and it'll cure your mental health issues. It's been nearly a year for
me since my trips and I'm still disabled and still dealing with a lot of things.
The mental cleanup was temporary. It lasted about six months.

One other thing. When I got back over here a month later and smoked again
I had what I can only describe as a shroom flashback. I had the body buzz
and the exact same mental effects I got from shrooms. Weird.

bad trips dont really exist, everyone thinks of a bad trip as gettin scared n shit, as long as u know its just the drug u'll never get scared

my definition of a bad trip is having something emotional happen while your tripping, like bad emotions, i for example almost bugged out once when i was tripping because my gf cheated on me the day before n i was pissed at her n i wasnt thinkin about it and then she called me crying saying how sorry she was, i was still pissed so i was jus like "i dont wanna hear it, i'm trippin n ur jus gonna fuck up my trip" which upset her more n i eventually hungup on her and then felt really bad for doing so because i don like when chics cry, but i kept that under control

the first time i did acid i took 2 hits with no actual psychedelic experiences and my dad picked me up from my friends house n started to scream in my face n parked at the police station shouting how i had the choice of goin to the hospital or the police station, my dads a fuckin asshole, ruined my trip real quick, didnt scare me but my good time went to "this fuckin sucks" real quick
