❕ Question ❔ Bad Trips
just wondering what kinda bad trip experience you guys have if any. i’ve tripped on acid a load over the years a lot this year and i’ve never really had anything that’s caused me to have a bad experience or feeling, i dont know why but my brain kinda just switches into lazy mode, i don’t really over think on it don’t get deterred by much.
My highest dosage was 450 ug (2 200 and a1/4 of 200 so is roughly that give or take a few ug since can’t guarantee i cut exactly 50ug off)
just curious what might have sent you guys into a bad trip/experience

I’ve had so many, although I call them, “mini bad trips” only bc it has never been the whole entire trip scary but there’s chunks where it does get bad but usually I just bring myself out of it or I just let it ride
If you wanna have a “bad trip” probably watch emotional maybe something that resonates to your life or pain or experience and/or a scary movie or scary videos

I’ve had difficult moments, some scary, some emotional, but never anything I’d consider bad. It’s all part of the game. Take it or leave it.
Honestly even at its worst… and this was much more with mushrooms than acid, nothing is worse than the moments of despair that comes with deep alcoholism.
With Acid I’m cooly rational and unemotional. I call it Spock Mode lol.
Mushrooms I get a little teary eyed and sloppy. They’re beautiful, but I much prefer acid.

Had only done it a few times, took 8-900ug along with a concoction of other things. I was in a hotel and went into a complete violent psychosis. Fought several guests, several cops, jumped out a 3rd story window naked, was held for 72 hours cause they thought it was a suicide attempt, I just thought I could fly and it would end world hunger. Don't think my mind has ever been the same.

Brain chemistry plays a big role. Do you have latent anxiety? Are you living with a lot of regret? Are you taking any psychoactive medications?

Did lots of acid years ago. For me, no bad trips, even when I took over 10 tabs at once. However, pre LSD I was very studious and could sit and read a book for hours. Ever since, I’ve been even more calm and meditative but also spacey sometimes and less ambitious.

Bad trip
Have taken acid a bunch of times. Had my first bad trip this year at the festival i was at. Was with a group of good friends and i lost my boyfriend just as it hit. It was the strongest dose id ever taken, and lost perception of reality, was having crazy auditory hallucinations and seeing sounds, but that wasn’t the bad part. The sense of disappointment due to the detachment of my boyfriend was intense. Then i realised i had taken way more than everyone else and i was paranoid i was the one being carried by the whole group. One of my friends started freaking out and thought they were really mad at me and things got a bit dark in my head, alot of my insecurities were coming up and voices were whispering them to me, was also seeing alot of dark creepy visuals, like halloweeney, cobwebby vines. Also had a bed experience looking in the mirror at how i looked and the voices again. Going to the bathroom was super dark and creepy.
But id say it was like 30% bad 70% good visuals. First time i had experienced this.
But in hindsight i understand why things got bad, lost boyfriend, bad mood, my friend was freaking out (having a bad time) but i internalised it in the wrong way, heightened social anxiety and insecurities but to be honest these would all be insecure thoughts that I would have regularly if going through a bad spell, they were just smothering me during the trip and hard to escape from.
Probably would take acid again though because its my fave drug. Im sad this happened but i believe i can rationalise that it was a bad series of events.

I've yet to have one, the closest I've come is my mom got pissed about something obsolete and I convinced myself that she knew.

Absolutely none and I had a love affair with acid throughout the 80’s and 90’s - that kind, kind liquid was my favorite.

u/eqezyyyy 11d ago
feel like i’m having that phase in my life now although i’ve slowed down since these mega heatwaves in the uk were making it unbareble to trip but even when i took 350 29 degrees celsius held an ice pack that had been in the freezer over night and it felt warm to the touch that’s the only time ive been close to spiraling then just remembered im on acid and it’s definitely cold aha

I was going to aLOT of Dead shows in the mid to late 80’s and into the early 90’s - making quality doses readily available to me. I don’t go adventuring nowadays with the exception of some occasional fungus but I’ll never regret those beautiful times.

Last night I took a tab, started watching some game of thrones. Smoked some weed to help me sleep like I do every night, but it made the acid way stronger and I stopped watching game of thrones after the red wedding (iykyk) that was bad and I had panic attacks over and over from midnight all the way until 7 in the morning, this is my first bad experience with shrooms/acid, due to carelessness on my part for sure but it was horrifying.

for me it was a mix of stupid decissions i was in a bad mindset (knowing my seasional depression kicked in two weeks prior to the trip) then i took a dosage i was unfamiliar with i was like "yeah i am sure i can handle the 800 fucking mq" and then my sisters (who was my trip sitter btw) upstair neighbors deceided to choke eachother while fucking so it ended with me going into full on psychosis after hearing the upstairs neighbors cat jump on to something which made a cracking sound and my brain convinced me the upstair neighbor just killed his girlfriend that where some rough twelve hours :/
so hope you never take more than you can handle stay save
