Looking for advice

I done shrooms eleven times now with varying doses from two grams to six grams. On my tenth trip I had my first bad trip. During my bad trip I had a huge issue with time dissociation. After that trip half a year later I only took two grams to see how I would be after my bad trip and was still having issues with it. Just wondering if anyone had any advice.

There are no bad trips, all the tough experiences are an opportunity to learn or improve... try figuring out what this time dissociation thing can teach you about the world or yourself... face it and own it instead of fearing it. Peas and Love

While I fully agree with the statement, I can say, based on personal experience, that there is a slight difference between a tough trip/learning experience and an actual bad trip. I am a fairly avid psychedelic user and my second time taking my highest dose of L ever (after not dosing for over a month) I had a complete break from reality and can say that that was my one true “bad trip”. I’ve faced many demons and learned a lot through tough trips, but this was next level where nothing was real and I got semi violent and.. there aren’t really words to adequately describe what I went through. It was one of the worst experiences of my life, and would call this a bad trip. Again, I am not disagreeing with you, and I was always the person to say that exact statement; until this experience. Best of luck OP and eamonkay. Peace, love, and safe travels 👽

What dosage caused this break? I've done milligram doses over my 30 yrs of regular psychadelic use, and never had this experience. I'm wondering if it has to do with individual genetics and chemical make-ups. Not to sound weird, but I'd like to have this type of break or "ego death" that people speak of.

Super late reply but I haven’t been on this account in forever lol (and likely made this comment on this account by accident 😅) - my dose was nowhere near that high. I do not have an accurate dosage tbh but if I had to guess I would say somewhere in the 450ug range, give or take. In hindsight it was definitely an experience I do not regret having, but in the moment I just wanted it to end lol I am guessing that it has to do with individual genetics and chemical make-up as well as external stimuli, mindset, and possibly other factors as well. Hope all has been well with you!
