The three things I was taught to remind myself when things start to go sideways: 1) it’s all in your head 2) it’s not permanent 3) you did it to yourself That’s always helped me.
That only works for small doses. I agree with you, and it's a great way to help someone in a terror loop, but if you've ever taken a heroic dose you know those comforting reminders cannot be understood while you're floating in the shared consciousness.
@@ineffably_described if you took a heroic dose you know better than anyone that you should’ve never went into that zone. There’s a difference between doses to have fun and doses to get launched into the stratosphere.
@@alexfvcruz I have only done two heroic doses, both by mistake. A friend spilled a vial of liquid on me at a concert once. Another time was a well intended stoner doing terrible math making tea.. we each ended up doing about 6 grams of APE. Both times taught me a lot about myself, and I was able to "enjoy" the experiences and learn about myself. I also developed a lot of respect for psychs and don't plan to return to that realm. I trip a few times a year now and never exceed 4 grams of fruit (not APE lol) or 200mcg. I'm only saying that I had no ability to remind myself I would be ok during these experiences. Mental fortitude and love for fellow humans kept me positive and in the light.
@@ineffably_described Yeah. Repeat "it's all in your head" enough times during an intense trip and things will start to get... weird. Experienced trippers will know there's a double meaning to be found there.
In my experience, bad acid trips feel very confusing and overstimulating in a very uncomfortable and threatening way, while bad shroom trips are a lot more viscerally, existentially terrifying
My bad acid trip was on a very small dose and was all about society destroying itself and trying to run from the feeling of impending doom. My bad shroom trip was the shrooms were ripping apart the fabric of reality to show me the terrible truth I knew I wasn't ready for.
@@boysurfs Yeah on acid im like "im going insane I wanna kill myself" but on mushrooms you're like "omg omg life is death death is life im just a bacteria with a universe in my head nothings real nothings real"
agreed too much acid you feel all goofy speed up and dont know what to do with yourself, with too much mushrooms you wonder if your life will ever be the same lol, too much THC is also very scary
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
One thing that helps every time when having a bad trip. Lie down on the floor, on your back. Better to put small pillow under the neck area. Then relax every muscle of your body by moving your attention to it, one by one. Then repeat. This technique makes your mind engaged in bodily feelings, which are "real", instead of trying to resolve fears and anxiety, which are not "real". Also relaxing muscles repeatedly just turns off some thoughts, like they were never there actually.
Fr this helps i had a Bad trip on 5meomipt and was spilling blood everywhere (halluciniations) and layed down on my kitchen floor and just let it happen was an awful experience laying in my own blood but it helped me calm down a bit and dont do dumb shit
When I was having my Extreme anxiety on ayahuasca (I also took a hit of weed which gives me extreme anxiety but I figured hey I’m in a safe place with ppl I trust) I was trying to breathe, trying to focus on my breath but it was just so intense that I couldn’t. I kept forgetting how to breathe right and was so so sick. All of the visuals were so intense and even worse when I closed my eyes. After three hours I was finally coming down and reached a much nice place but boy that was the hardest trip I’ve ever had. Now I can’t bring myself To do anything ever again. I’m scared to have another bad trip full of that anxiety. I felt I was never gonna be normal again and have anxiety now I’m working through because of it. I have ptsd. I don’t want to but don’t know how to get out of the fear
Different people definitely have different experiences. For me LSD makes me feel uncomfortable and is much more difficult to let go. The body buzz I get from mushrooms is calming and comfortable for me. Plus I can sleep easier after vs LSD where I cant sleep for at least 12 hours after a dose
tripping is all about your mind. your experience is determined by how you are as a person and what you believe in. whether you know you believe it or not tripping will bring it out of your subconscious. my first trippy experiences started with butane gas. i saw all kinds of shit like i ones was slingshot of earth att a billion lightspeeds a second to the edge of the universe. while listening to eminem deja vu and drug ballad i would some times even see the devil. i would hallucinate that i was att work and working i would see people sitting on my shelf pooping. but then the other times i tripped was on ecstasy after days of no sleep. i ones held my new born baby in my arms for 5min before remembering i don't have a baby and i was alone. i could feel him hear him feel his weight. i saw sheep on the road that where not there when i took pictures. i saw shadow people walking outside normally and as i got close they started running and tried to hit my face. until like the 4-5th then i started hitting back. i have ben caught by police talking to them thinking oh fuck i'm caught. they put handcuffs on me but then few minutes later when the music in my head phones pauses and i only hear silence i realise i'm alone. i have ben hallucinating on ecstasy a couple of times but each time i became more and more aware of it to the point now that no matter what i can't get that fooled again. i can't even see shadow people anymore. the chase got so bad that in the end i would stay awake for 8days on speed and then end it with a 10 pills of 250-300mg ecstasy tripp. but no shadow people nothing anymore. i can no longer lose control i can no longer be fooled. i never got to experience a ego death and i no longer ever will because no matter the dose no matter what i do i can no longer be fooled. my mind is just constantly in control and constantly able to have a grip on reality. i have tried to kill myself with butane to and not even butane can cause me to lose grip of reality. not even when i'm literally within an inch of my life about to die do i experience anything.
long comment short. your mind is what makes you tripp and what gives you the experiences and visions. i regret that i did not get to take shrooms acid and DMT before i went crazy on ecstasy and butane. my mind now just finds logic and refuses to let go of reality what ever i do. your mind and what you believe in and your personality is the key to your tripp.
@@rampage3337 had my first ever shroom trip 5 hours ago, it felt so cool to go beyond the borders of my mind and reality, but now I am even a bigger schizo than before
The body feeling was what gave me a bad trip from shrooms. It was the most overwhelming feeling. It was like a pleasurable feeling became so intense it was actually almost painful. I couldn't move throughout the whole thing and curled into a ball for the duration. It was just constant head to toe waves of overwhelming body high. Hadn't tripped in years before that and always tripped whilst on an SSRI. Mushrooms never worked but 4 aco dmt did. So I assumed it'd be a similar trip. I do prefer lsd and 25i to 4 aco dmt. I've got a lot of bad things going on and I'm at an all time low so I had been worrying about psychologically going West on my trip and instead it was physical. I feel like I need to trip again but I'm so nervous that I'll have an awful time again.
My personal experience? Bad shrooms trip felt like a sense of impending doom, like my body was rejecting the entire scenario leading to a crushing feeling of anxiety. A bad acid trip was just overstimulating physically and mentally and the trip drastically improved as soon as I was comfortable again.
So true I've blacked out from panic attacks on shrooms but on acid no matter how bad I freak out I always end up getting over it and having a good time
So true I've blacked out from panic attacks on shrooms but on acid no matter how bad I freak out I always end up getting over it and having a good time
in my experience, acid visuals feel more fractal-like & analytical, and shroom visuals feel more alive & swirly. i am prone to having strong visuals, even at a low dose. I've never had a bad acid trip, but ive had a few bad shroom experience.
yet again a subjective thing, ive had moree bad acid trips than bad shroom trips therefore i prefer shrooms overall. I can deal with existential dread from shrooms than thought loops from acid.
What I've noticed about the visuals from shrooms is that it makes any object I see seem symmetrical and geometric, while paradoxically moving in a breathing like motion. Imao, you can obtain visual from shrooms just as intense as LSD but at the cost of having to take a dose that is overkill. At that point you're not just seeing the visuals, you are the visuals.
I have mostly been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.
All I can say is Psychedelic therapy treats mental health issues. Anxiety and depression. Likely to be the most profound experience a human can have in life time.
I remember my first big trip 4 years ago. I took 7 grams of shrooms by myself in my room. The visuals were insane. I could hear my own thoughts. Ego death. It was a bad trip but at the same time very spiritually uplifting. I still think about it to this day.
Shrooms are weird. They get insanely wild at higher dosages for sure. They can straight up blast you into DMT realm for 6+ hours once you get into that 5+ gram range.
You can't overdose on mushrooms alone . You can definitely eat the wrong mushroom and get poisoning from that, but no one has ever died from psilocybin OD
The closest I got to a bad trip caused by the visuals was when I was tripping with a friend in a very dimly lit room in a tiny shack. I could barely see my friends face, just enough to see the basic shape. As I looked at him, his face somehow morfed into a skull with rotten remains of long hair here and there. That for some reason didnt really scare me, but then it changed into something that looked like a head of a dead sheep. That really messed me up, I immediately switched on the light on my phone to see him properly. I was panicking, so we decided to leave the place and go for a walk on meadows overlooking a very pittoresque valley nearby. As we stepped outside, we saw that we were surrounded by hundreds of fireflies, the forest was full of them and it look like some painting or a movie. I went from what by that point was quite uncomfortable panic to the most peaceful fairytale-like feeling in just few seconds. It felt rather strange.
Fireflies are one of the coolest things to watch for me too. My buddy had one on his finger one night just observing when another friend slapped and killed the firefly, leaving the fluorescent goop on his hand. We were all very disappointed to see that. The slapper was then thrown into the lake
@@Vextt It wasnt really about setting, it was just about light playing tricks on me. The shack was actually pretty cool place. We had tons of incense sticks burning there and as the sun was setting, light beams were shining through cracks in a wall and the smoke danced in them in this beautiful visual symphony. We helped the matters by gently blowing into the smoke which made it dance even more, which occupied us for at least an hour lol. It was so cool.
For me, the mushroom trip feels better than an lsd trip, I like the heavy body load, and the peak waves, also that it is shorter. The mushrooms gives me more ansveres to life, and acid is more all over the place, I tend to not understand anything on acid, where mushrooms makes me more mind blown by different things
I think acid is better to understand your own way of thinking. Shrooms are to confusing to get to the ground of your problems by logic. Thats way easier on acid. But shrooms can show you perfectly well what you repress and what you really want
@@leonardopizzini1443 I have been tripping a few times after this comment. I am starting to like lsd more and more. But mushies will still be my chose. But I am going to try acid, around 100ug at a hardstyle festival. I did 100ug in my friends house, and we watched sets from festivals, and I was dancing and enjoying that a lot. I just hope I don't get a lot of social anxiety among the 70k people
@@leonardopizzini1443agreed. had a moment on the come down of acid. couldn’t read (no sense basically), not hungry, not thirsty, couldn’t roll a joint for my friends (lack of motor function and mental coherence) just starting to decline on the happiness level. basically realized that i need antidepressants outside of tripping, and that acid is just giving me more questions than answers (receive an answer, receive two more questions)
Yea Mushrooms in moderate (NOT HIGH) amounts are quite nice and the peaks really make you think in ways you never did. During my peak I came to the realization that "Everything is made up of lines" and was obsessed in every shape and object in my house for 2 hours lol
I’ve done acid 3 times, and each were fantastic experiences, heavy visuals, laughing my ass off. The first time I did shrooms, it was not a fun trip, it’s very hard to describe the feeling it gave me. It was like I was questioning everything. It was how it made me feel that made me have a bad trip. 100% more feeling and spiritually involved with mushrooms. Acid just felt like I was watching a goofy movie.
did you feel really scared and anxious before the shrooms even kicked in. i also got super sick and a really bad body feeling and i was panicking really bad but after the sickness went away it was incredible. but acid i never had a bad trip. even on small doses of shrooms i still feel that bad body feeling .
My bad trip on LSD started as a mental loop, but my fear started to manifest visually, which was terrifying.🎉 Ultimately the visuals have been what has lasted with me, although I never saw them again once the trip ended, I still have a fairly vivid recollection of what it looked like.
Psilocybin containing mushrooms save my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit
I made researches and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helped to reduce anxiety and depression and some other mental health issues..i would love to try magic mushrooms but they are hard to source!
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have a lot more empathy as well
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.imagine carrving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone.Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues
i think except trauma or miseducation and ego the main cause of a bad trip is our constant manifestation of it constantly talking warning and worrying about them, often for no reason
that's exactly it. i'm incapable of having a bad trip because of how hard i was tripping on butane gas and on ecstasy (after days of no sleep on speed) my mind learned to think logically and look past the tricks the drugs tried to play on me. it got to a point where i'm no longer even able to see shadow people. in the end i was doing 8days of no sleep and ending it with a 10pills of 250-300mg each! all in pretty much one go. but still no shadow people no tripping nothing. just full control and logic. i got full controll before i ever did acid shrooms or DMT which i regret because i can't experience ego death either and never will. no matter the dose i can't ever get ego death or a bad trip because i can't lose control. obviously i get the visions colours and breathing and such but nothing that fools me. i allways know it's a drug it's just a vissual and it's never anything that actually fools me. it's more just like a snap chat filter on life. the only thing mega doses of acid does for me is give me this honey comb pattern that becomes like a watermark so i constantly just see this full RGB coloured honey comb pattern that don't move or anything just like a water mark on reality. so i don't believe there is such a thing as a bad trip. i think that bad trips are just minds that like you said are manifesting worries and fears because people hear all the crazy stories and then plant a seed of doubt in their minds. i'm so over experienced that the seed of doubt never grows in my head. i never believe in it anymore my mind is just stuck in reality it applies logic to what i see and experience. i have even tried to kill myself and not even being within a inch of my life about to die do i experience any visions or anything anymore. back during the first few times i did butane my hallusinations/vission where so intense that i ones flew out of earth att billion times light speed out to the edge of space. which scared the shit out of my because i'm afraid of heights. my most incredible time on xtc was once i held my new born crying baby in my arms for 5min trying to put it to sleep and then i remembered i don't have a baby and it disappeared. i could feel it's weight i could hear it i could feel it being there. and the 2nd most insane time was when i got stopped by police and put in handcuffs only to then realise there where no cops when my music on my headphones turned off. but no mather how hard i chased those experiences again i could never get my mind to that stage
This! I had a really bad trip, admittedly I still took to much, but I had a bad feeling going into the trip that I was going to have a bad trip, which ended up causing the bad trip. I’ve always had the thought in my mind that I’d have one eventually because they seem so prevalent within the community, even though I have no past traumas.
I'm starting to think about this also. I have a scenario in mind: a man on an island who's had no contact with the outside world eats shrooms for the first time. How is his trip good or bad--because I believe there's only a fleeting chance that man would have a "bad" experience.
4$iD do me bad at festivals. I completely retract into myself and hide in my tent. 5shr00ms on the other hand literally makes my vibe, much more naturally.
you described bad mushroom trips perfect. my worse time was on higher doses of LSD but it was because my gf at the time took too much against my recommendation and she tripped out while I was tripping pretty hard and drove me insane for 36 hours, needless to say she learned her lesson
the second time i ever took mushrooms, i thought i was dying but it ended up being massive gas. i farted for at least 7 or 8 seconds straight (uninterrupted 1 single fart). my friends and i laughed so hard after that and i felt AMAZING after that fart.
Love you brother, I’ve been here for many years along my journey of awakening and you’re a huge reason for it❤❤ keep it up my friend and beautiful reflection of life
I haven’t touched acid since January of 2020. I had a couple bad trips in a row, after having a handful of incredible trips. The first one caught me really off guard. Remembering it now is very difficult, but I wanna say I felt an IMMENSE amount of anxiety/paranoia, & even had full on delusions. It felt like I was communicating with a lot of very hostile entities. Whether it be through music/audio or the visuals & stuff I was reading on my phone. If felt like they had full control & there was no way to escape. Also felt like I was having a psychotic break & would never come down. Truly traumatizing. I honestly couldn’t really integrate that trip, so I figured it was just a fluke, and sometime later had the same experience…& a third time after waiting a few months, but only on half a tab so it was very tame. Felt like a huge slap in the face from the universe. Looking back at it, I think I started chasing the “magic” and using it as a means to escape my reality because I was at my rock bottom around that time in late 2019. The bad trips made everything so much worse, I believe I even had minor psychosis for a period of time. On the bright side, I ended up on a path of self improvement, and started making a lot of changes for myself, which have put me in a much much better situation than I would’ve ever thought I’d be in. Also became very spiritual. I think I’ll stay away from acid indefinitely, but I’ve had some pleasant experiences on shrooms since then, and will probably continue my use with them Edit: 90 % of my trips have been solo & mixed with weed
To be honest man, those hostile entities were not delusions. They are really there. LSD just allows your senses to be much stronger than usual and you can sense things/beings you normally couldn't or would have trouble picking up while sober. These beings operate on a higher dimension to us. The demonic/hostile ones manipulate humans by influencing them to do things that will drain their energy. Demonic entities drain our energy for power. This may be where the theory of vampires come in. They do not physically suck our life away with our blood but they somehow are able to manipulate our magnetic/electric fields in a way that drains us. Signs of a demon; static sound around you. Dark small or big shadow/ball that moves extremely fast, making you think your eyes are playing tricks on you. Thought loops. No motivation, so complete trance that is difficult to escape from. Feeling tired even if you happen to be tripping. Less visuals if you are tripping (again, they drain our energy and psychedelics raise our psychological and spiritual energy a lot.) An uncomfortable presence around you/just general discomfort. Feeling brain dead. Reinforced addictive behaviours. Doing things subconsciously. Pointless or harmful things.
I mixed weed with shrooms, and once the weed kicked in I freaked out and my legs stopped working. I death gripped my friend and was in a panic. I need to breath and calm down before I could walk back home and the whole walk back I was paranoid. I blame the weed.
Honestly same thing here. I’ve used acid a handful of times all good trips but the last time abput 2 months ago I shared a really similar trip. I also mixed it with thc and have been hesitant about using it since that trip. Immense feelings of anxiety paranoia and my mind was stumped I felt as if in a haze and it was super hard to communicate I did not feel like myself and was just ready for it to be over. But it did lead to a path of focusing on being better due to lots of self criticism
I had a bad trip on shrooms October 2020 just a few day after my 18th bday. It was my 2nd time 1 yr after my first trip. I had gone from 2g to 7g this time. I was so freaked out afterwards but I knew I just had to deal w it. I also felt like I couldn't/haven't integrated any of it. I tried going to therapy b was deceived into going to the psych ward where I was diagnosed n forcefully medicated. You know its like yeah I made a mistake but let me move tf on! Yk for me its as if a fighter got his cheek cut open and the UFC doc says that to stitch it up he needs to use numbing cream, but the fighter refuses to use the cream because he needs to feel the pain to learn from his mistake. I feel like a fucking joke cause my parents think im a junkie n my doctors are trying to call me disabled, which fucked up all my relationships. Theyre tryna medicate me for 2+ yrs & can now send the cops for me if I dont comply. Im 20 now and feel like ive failed my relationships, im tryna just move away and disappear so the cops wont find me and return to my fam in an indefinite amount of time. One things for sure this whole hospital thing has made me feel worse than the trip. Cause I at least knew that what they didn't know couldn't hurt them, and I could just forgive myself, act okay around them and get my relationships on track therefore grounding me back again. But NoOoOOOoo they said straight to my face that I was "Out of reality", the only reason was bc I told them I had taken shrooms and they were fckn projecting. And so now what? Ive gotta live to YOuR sTAnDArD of rEAliTY??? Fuck em bro, You have any advice?
Dude. I tried to be high a few times from THC. I had the same experience with communicating with the Universe through music. It was insane when I was on Spotify and played my liked songs, (which were shuffled,) and there were connections and synchronicities. I felt like I could see the higher power behind the sun. They are guiding us to solve this Rubix cube so we can get a puzzle piece to solve this big Puzzle with the help of the parallel universes. We are getting closer to the Universe's knowledge. Knowledge is power. So I think the point of life is we humans are trying to unite our souls and evolve. And I watched this video because I was considering trying acid or shrooms. Idk if I just do it. But was the experience life-changing? Did you have more clarity on life and are more determined to choose the right decisions? Recently I'm stuck in life.
Bad acid trips are like "what is happening everything I love it looks so weird and confusing what is even going on". And than bad shroom trips are like "wait a second... somethings wrong".
I’ll never forget the feeling of my stomach sinking and realizing it was going to be a looooong night during my bad shrooms trip. Worst experience of my life lol
@ordinaryopinion4081 what's funny is when you get more experience you realize the only thing causing a bad trip is you. You have nothing to be scared of.
For me, LSD was more of a "head high", while mushrooms were more of an entire body experience. Never had a bad trip on LSD, but mushrooms are absolutely brutal if you're not in the right headspace. Visceral, unending existential dread. On one nightmare trip, around 3.5gs of mush, I thought I was in some sort of experiment like in the plot of the Truman Show. Every time I looked up from the fetal position, the two friends I was with were different people entirely. I've never really recovered mentally after that trip. That sense of dread never left, unfortunately. Stay safe, everyone 🤞
Yo that's what the movie revolves around!!??? I had that EXACT feeling on 3.5 g of mushie chocolates, but it wasn't bad. I knew nobody was ACTUALLY watching me and there weren't any cameras around, but wow it made me really self aware and greatly led to me not acting like a major fool.
Adam made an error. 2g shrooms IS NOT the starting dose. A full dose is considered 1gram, but my first time having ego death was on 0.65 penis envies. My tolerance is very high. A single dose can even be 0.5g mushrooms. And you could lose your mind. The only reason people say a gram is a single dose is because it's one whole single unit so it seems logical. Just because it's 1.0g and not 0.9g, they think it should be a valid dose since it's a FULL gram. They think if the gram isn't full, your trip will be lacking because you took too little. This isn't true
It's a shame that his videos aren't getting recommended to a larger audience. He could easily get 100k+ views on every vid if the shadow banning stuff didn't exist. I hope someday we can live in a world where psychadelics are seen as a substance for healing and self growth!
The key is "know thyself." If you are a very anxious person, perhaps hallucinogens might not be for you. And also, mushrooms give a visual experience more like DMT, where things start to get "granular" and surfaces start to look like they are made out of a gazillion little "tiles."
I’m a very second guessing person and I have done shrooms twice just take a 1.5 and slowly ease into and take more meditate and have a good time you’ll be fine
Unpopular opinion: I enjoy a bad one once in a while. Gets crazy in certain parts with close eyed visuals, the world can't be just paradise right? And teach you a thing or two.
Did shrooms yesterday, started with 4g of golden teachers and forgot what was a drug and ended up eating the other 4g of penis envy mushrooms and went straight to hell. Thought I broke my brain.
@@Miyoak I'm trying to figure out a way to just make a drink out of my chocolate/ PB bars, so I can tek it. The bars are good but they give me a week long stomach ache.
@@cheapskate2241mix your mushies with a squeeze of lemon and a little cold water, let it soak for half an hour and then make it into tea. The acidity potentiates the psylocybin… use with caution.
Similar with me, the only substances I’ve touched since my bad trip 7 years ago are weed and small doses of shrooms. I have no desire to try anything else.
I can attest to witnessing multiple mushroom peaks and troughs. One guy I knew took a dose and went from freaking out to playing ping pong unreasonably well within a span of 5-10 minutes.
Yet to have a bad mushroom trip. But the one time I had my first bad trip on LSD; I just remember getting a very sudden & overwhelming gut drop feeling and I started to feel very uncomfortable as I was listening to the thoughts in my head which sounded like I was actually saying them out loud. I knew I was losing control of the trip and my overall mood (stupidly I tried fighting it). My first flight response was to try and calm down by having some weed, sober me knew this would only make it worse, but in this scenario, I only saw it as something that would help me relax. This only intensified what I was seeing and feeling/thinking, in which my next best option was a warm shower with some music. Whilst this calmed me for what only felt like a couple of minutes, I then started to feel what I would describe as myself melting into the floor as well as all the visuals, I felt very trapped and limited in the things I did everyday in a sober state. I was able to manage getting out of the shower, getting dressed and going back into my room as things kept getting more intense and challenging. My last hope was to wake up my mate, which I went and done. The issue here is he replies and talks even in his sleep, so upon trying to wake him up is when I thought I had completely lost it and couldn’t contain myself, trying to decipher whether he was actually speaking or even awake for that matter. This is the moment I ran through the house back into my room and stuffed my face into the pillow, where I was uncontrollably sobbing like I used to as a toddler in the supermarket that didn’t get the toy they wanted. With my face in the pillow, I could only see darkness filled with terrifying visuals, the most vague thing I remember seeing was skulls forming out of essentially thin air that were growing pointy horns and a red, glowing outline. I was so lost in myself at this point I literally convinced myself that I was dying, until what I can only imagine being a few minutes (which felt like hours), I heard my mate talk and he knew instantly what was happening. I lifted my head from the pillow and he had come in to help me out of this bad trip, I still didn’t know if he was really there because what had happened when trying to wake him up previously. After a bit of support, he managed to calm me down to a point I was able to stop crying. Because I was hallucinating in terms of what I was hearing, and I didn’t see or hear him walk out the door to check something, I looked back to see he was gone and thought “I should’ve heard him walk out” and felt like I was stuck in a loop everytime he came in and out of the room. The last time he had come back, he didn’t leave and eventually I was brought out of this uncontrollable, emotional state and could finally realise he really was there and that having such a good mate close by had felt like it meant the world to me in that exact moment. By this point, the effects of the LSD had started wearing down and was no longer in the peak of the trip. Once I felt in control again, I remember him giving me a cigarette and standing out the back, everything then felt so pure and clarified like I was experiencing it all for the first time again. I just remember looking into the planets and stars of the sky, I thought in my mind I could clearly see the rings of Saturn and the moons of Jupiter, as well as nebulae in constellations. I still couldn’t think 100% clearly, but I was absolutely in awe. Everything felt neutral but yet so tame, I couldn’t help but feel happy but also sorry for how I had let my life get to this point. I could understand enough however to look at this as an opportunity to learn about what was going on in my life and how I reacted. Forever that will feel like a life-changing experience and immediately after the trip ended entirely, it was straight to researching about psychedelics, it wasn’t until that experience that I see that you have to respect them and it isn’t always just for fun. To this day I still love psychedelics and had a recent LSD trip just 2 weeks ago which was all well and great, truly amazing stuff it is. I’ve been planning on having another trip soon out on a bush walk.
Yeah melting on psychedelics and being unable to identify where you are in the room is definitely an unforgettable experience. Another interesting one is being able to hear yourself hearing yourself
Yeah there's no real controlling the acid more like pointing it in a direction and watching it go. You can also use movies and music to steer the trip around, music is best imo with some really good headphones, close your eyes and left the visuals paint a masterpiece for you. Id stay away from weed and showers till about 6 or more hrs in.
I remember I was listening to music and there was no separation between the lyrics of the music and my thoughts. It was blissful! But shortly after my reality started glitching and I tricked my brain into thinking I got in a horrible accident And I could faintly see hospital lights and hear my parents talking. it was not fun at that point.
I've had an acid trip where I was in a state which I would say is the equivalent of losing everyone you love all at once. And then followed by me believing I was the result of God losing his mind and thinking he was me.
On higher doses of shrooms instead of seeing hieroglyphics I see shit that looks like copperhead skin or those like really fancy rugs folding over each other
In my experience, Even mushroom tea causes a mental nausea/vertigo on the peak. Your body starts feeling fevered, you feel like you're going to puke and you randomly gag for 2 seconds then you feel fine again, Rinse and repeat 2-5 times. Maybe it's just me?
i had a bad acid trip 2 days ago. i dont know what caused it but i had smoked right before it started. i have always smoked but i think it made my visuals crazy and then i freaked out. i can relate to the thought loops and thinking i will never be the same. this video helped me feel better. i am ok but my chest hurts so bad from anxiety during the trip.
Instead of smoking pot try some magnesium and other supplements before. I notice that many bad trips are caused by weed not only for me but for a lot of other people. Some warm tea will bring you down just like weed on an acid trip, just be careful not to drink it too hot.
A mushroom trip can feel like the entire weight of your existence stacked on top of you... in that sense it can inflate the ego as it may increase your levels of self-importance, or it can destroy the ego as you feel how overwhelming it is, causing a spiral deep into depression and anxiety. I've experienced both! And that's why I'm not touching that shit until I restructure my internal landscape.
@@_xiper So far it's been a mix of therapy, journalling a ton about my past experiences and future hopes, consciously trying to tell my brain more positive thoughts (I am extremely self-hating and negative), and not suppressing my emotions, but finding healthy ways to express them, especially towards others.
@@smokeycity_youngin_9012 *You're. You could say I'm "emo", but I don't really see the point in using labels to reduce someone to simply a concept. I'm a human being, and just like anyone else, I have times where I struggle. At the time of my comment, I was in a very dark place, so I probably would have agreed that my life is hard. Now I'd have a much more nuanced take on it, but at the same time, I see no point in talking about it. Every one of us has been through some kind of struggle in life, so why focus on it?
Seeing so much comments about shrooms being the worst one on a bad trip and having friends telling me the same thing is really intresting. I find acid more stressful on a bad trip than shrooms. Shrooms were never hard on me, no nausea, no significant bad trips like on acid. No confused state. Does somebody have the same experience?
I ended up twice in ER from mushroom trip, the mental of a bad trip is terrifying you feel like your dying and no one can save you; left me screaming, banging head against wall, you feel like ur gonna have a seizure or heart attack. It is so scary
I had a bad trip on 10gs of mushrooms and felt fine the next day. Had a bad trip on 3 tabs of acid and felt shell shocked for months. So I agree that PTSD from LSD is more likely.
Acid really fucked me up. I went insane and blacked out before waking up in hospital. 4 police officers had to hold me down to get me in the ambulance which I don’t even remember. Worst experience I’ve ever had in my life and hopefully it stays that way. Haven’t touched acid since
Believe it or not, I was at a house party in HS and had a terrible experience with dabs or THC oil. I never smoked that much and my friend talked me into taking a huge dab. I got so high I went into my buddies room and dozed off. In and out of sleep I kept having auditory hallucinations that my parents where at the party. I swear I heard my dad yelling "Where is he!?" and heard him fight with a bunch of kids from my school lmao. Ive done shrooms and MDMA but I honestly my worst experience being high was with THC that one time lol, just got wayyy too high
Random mildly bad trip story. A friend of mine were enjoying the shroomies and things were great. We were standing in a field in a park. Grass everywhere. At first we were talking about how fresh the air felt in our lungs and then all the sudden something switched. This is where things get weird. I felt like I could see gravity. I was seeing waves in the ground on a huge scale and felt like I was going to be sucked into the void. Felt like I was tasting metallic and just so bad. I told my friend we gotta get out of here like now. She's like okay no problem. AS SOON AS my feet hit the concrete path around the field we were standing in, instantly felt better. Fast forward a few months later she's talking to another friend about what had happened to me and how random it was because originally things were fine and then after things were fine. Come to find out... where the field was in the park was originally a nun hospital that had be torn down years prior and turned into the park. And where we were standing, was where the hospital was. Absolutely crazy. Moral of the story, sometimes if you're having a bad trip, move. Change the environment if you can. Can make a huge difference.
I can attest to the fact that shrooms visuals can be terrifying when you’re in a bad trip, I started seeing eyes everywhere and couldn’t escape them lol
The only "bad" trip I've had was taking mushroom chocolate after an argument with my gf. But that was my fault for taking it at a stupid time, not the drug.
@@pricklycats could be the strain of mushroom, some are a lot more potent than other psilocybin mushrooms! However if you bought it pre-made and didn’t make it yourself, they always put a heap in. The 3.5g One up bars easily have 5g in them.
I think the fundamental is accepting you’d likely have or not these thoughts while sober too. The psychedelic is just doing heavy lighting bringing them to the front and having you face them without filters. Changing set or letting go can go a long way in helping one stay grounded on a good trip.
@@pricklycats a lot of those "shroom chocolates" aren't actually shrooms, they're 4 aco DMT which is supposed to be the same as psilocybin so they just put a more or less dose comparison to shrooms on the packaging but its usually a lot stronger and hits a lot faster, similar to lemon tek. If you didn't taste any actual mushrooms in the chocolate it was most likely 4 aco which might explain that
People that do this stuff regularly talk so casually about bad trips, terror, and even say "pits of hell" so casually. I literally felt like i was in my own personal hell where time slowed like 1000 times and i felt like my geometric and auditory hallucinations were in a feed backn loop overwelming me for eternity. Truly the most terifying thing ive ever experienced. I dont see how anyone goes through that and says.... lets try again. Bad thing is i took something called roadtrip gummies so i dont even know what the compison of dosage would be.
The only time I felt uneasy with mushrooms was my first trip and some rando came over n messed up the vibes, felt guilty of getting high n got paranoid. Told myself I'm spazzing over nothing, quickly got over it and enjoyed the rest of my trip. Now acid hhooooo damn... the time dilation got to me, felt like I'd lived thousands of years, I definitely would rather ride out up's n downs then live a thousands years. I dono that's just me, the elongated time perception thing REALLY gets to me.
Adam you should do a video on DT’s. I’m a recovering alcoholic and by far the most terrifying “trip” I’ve ever had was psychosis from alcohol withdrawal.
I watched a close friend slowly die from late stage alcoholism. I was fortunate enough to quit drinking before the point of no return. That is a fate that I would not wish upon my enemy. I have never had full delirium from DTs, but when I was a teenager I ate datura seeds, which put me in full delirium. I have no way of knowing if the two are in any way similar, but I for sure, cannot say enough, that I would not wish alcohol withdrawal, especially, late-stage, on anyone. I'm glad to hear another one of us made it out alive. Much love.
@@Inertia888 thank you. Much love to you too. Yeah it was a hellish nightmare for a few days. I thought everyone was out to get me, the fbi was following me, bugs were all over me and I heard and saw things that weren’t there.
@@timothykappel198 Yes. High amounts of alcohol daily will lead to what’s called DT’s. They are life threatening. You can have seizures, heart attacks, and hallucinations. I was a daily heavy drinker and have had pancreatitis multiple times as well as other physical health issues. Alcohol is no joke. Sadly it’s the one National legal substance and one of the most dangerous drugs
I recently took acid at a rave and was 100% convinced that I passed a joint to a cop. Those 20 seconds felt like a couple of hours but tankfully I was alright.
🍄 definitely work in waves. A pretty strong dose can take you back and forth through what’s like augmented reality, what’s like virtual reality, and the point where you forgot you even took something and just think “This is just how the world has always been”.
i agree. both lsd and shrooms have always “peaked” in waves that were sometimes as quick as a few minutes. like i would feel existential dread for a few minutes then i would feel okay and it would repeat
@@headbusser1337 Sometimes the highest level could be absolute dread, sometimes it could be absolute euphoria, and I found it to be a valuable growing/healing experience every time.
i have been an incredibly experienced tripper, until one day 2 months ago i took some albinos. little did i know, i would get PTSD lmao. Shroom trips especially at high doses can put anyone on their ass, i just had my icarus moment and flew too close to the sun. respect the booms, all i can say. please be 100% honest with yourself when determining if you are emotionally safe enough to trip, you will not regret it.
I love mushrooms. Never had a bad time I couldn't get myself out of on them. They just feel natural. I have not, and probably will not, ever taken acid. I don't trust it. The fact that it's man made would be on my mind the whole time.
@@swervedx lysergic acid is natural yes, but every other part of the process of extraction involves some pretty awful chemicals. So unless I bought LSD directly from an actual bio chemist, I don’t trust it.
For me personally bad acid trip feels like sitting in front of a very bright screen with my eyes taped open and being forced to live through anything without any rest. Also for me acid is very non-linear, usually on comedown, but on high doses I sometimes get almost sober for like 2-5 minutes during peak, like a quick check from the Dr. Strange movie. On the other hand during bad mushroom experience I tend to just feel physically sick. Not just the nausea but also headache and fever-like state of temperature dysregulation. In both cases mental fears are coming from the same places - existential dread and not seeing future prospects and mental and physical health of mine and relatives. But I think that the anxiety will be centered on what the person is bothered or is uncomfortable with and is not really dependent on the substance.
Bad acid trips: my body feels weird my thoughts are all over the place and I just want this to be over. Bad mushroom trips: *crying on the floor in the fetal position*
I've taken 1000 micrograms of LSD once, which is the most I've ever taken. A bad acid trip is one of the worst things you can experience. It is sheer, abject horror and confusion. It feels a bit like being possessed, like a pitiless, menacing evil has broken into your mind just to torment you. I tripped for 20 hours, and that terrible, malicious presence lingered for the entire duration. Whenever the lights turned off during the experience I even saw what I interpreted as crimson, triangular teeth buzzing in the darkness. It felt like my mind was being clawed at, smothered, and eaten by this being, and it messed me up for a while afterwards
i tripped for the first time ever a few months ago, the person i had bought them from told me to take them once i was ready for it, he knew i was kinda hesitant on buying them (i didnt know any better) but my ass decides to take it that very night..and trust me i deeply regret doing that bc i wasnt able to sleep for shit, i was also in a dark room which made things even worse i started feeling like i couldnt escape this in any way so i had to just be prepared for anything the universe has to throw at me. i remember everytime i closed my eyes it felt like i was going through a wormhole (i have no clue how to explain this, but if youve ever seen ¨enter the void¨ it was exactly like that.) i think the moment i realized i was having a bad trip was when my thoughts kept looping, and i couldnt fine comfort in listening to music as the words that i was hearing became very distorted and unsettling, it sounded alot like a broken radio, by that time it had to be like 4am so at that point i go to take a cold shower as a way to ¨sober me up¨ LMAAOOO it did help me feel better but i accidentally took a look at myself in the mirror and was quite literally petrified by what the hell i saw. one thing tho i wouldnt go back in time to change what i did, im more aware of what NOT to do while tripping on acid now LOL
I've never had a bad lsd trip and I took 4 tabs the very first time I did any psychedelic. And never did that much since then. But shrooms for me can be extremely confusing and terrifying out of nowhere but lately I've had some of the best trips ever from shrooms. Lsd is more happy and fun while shrooms have a very deep emotional and way more introspective aspect which can start off bad but turn around into the most beautiful experiences ever. Waiting for my next lsd trip tho its been a long time
this is interesting as for me it’s the complete opposite, one time i felt disconnected on a bad shroom trip as if i couldn’t move my limbs but apart from that i usually feel good, not as good as E or M but somewhere in the middle, lsd however in higher doses has really set me on a bad trip, i smoked a joint one time while on 3 tabs and the visuals were so bad i couldn’t see, heart rate at 155, intense anxiety and no way of telling what was real, things like this can really fuck a person up and all i advise is to be safe and maybe don’t mix drugs
@benmitchell23 maybe I just never took enough lsd at one time. I never did 4tabs since my first time, and never needed to. 2 or 3tabs always felt so good I didn't need anymore. But anywhere north of 4grams of shrooms is bad trip territory. It gets so intense and confusing that my brain feels like it turns off and basically I just space out/black out. I'm still awake doing doing stuff it's like a scary autopilot I'm there but not there lol
Always wanna let you know how much I appreciate you and your videos, been watching you for over 10 years strong and feel like we have grown together, your videos have keep me on the path, ty always
While they're both pretty similar in experience, I would say acid is more visual, and shrooms are more spiritual. I prefer the shorter duration of shrooms; 12 hours with acid can be a bit much at times and I like to fall asleep easier at the end, which I've found shrooms better for that.
you explained this so well, a few days ago I got stuck in a thought loop for over 2 hours while taking shrooms but it felt very much like how you explained the acid, the biggest fear was that it felt like it would never end and that I was genuinely scared for my sanity with this being my first bad trip and thought loop. but somehow in the end the experience was overall a positive one.
When it’s hour 7 and you still see clear images with your eyes closed as if you’re not sure whether or not you can “close” your eyes… I’m getting over it
I used to think There's no such thing as a bad trip just scary ones , but I just got a chocolate bar made with amanita muscaria from nm nice botanicles , and * YUK* the chocolate is so stale and disgusting it would F up anyone's trip. Even the visuals are gross I keep seeing Harry legs everywhere. AVOID.
Funny how these substances effect us all so differently. I hate LSD and each of the 6 times I’ve done it I have had to work really hard to try and have fun. The trip lasts way too long and I can never convince myself that it will eventually end. Shrooms which I’ve done more times then I can count in all sorts of doses & settings; I usually always have a great time. For me the lemon juice trick takes care of any nausea and because you have those moments of clarity in between waves I can always see the light at the end of the tunnel. Even my worst shroom trip has had moments of fun and laughter where acid is complete hell for me.
I took shrooms for the first time yesterday. Ate 3.6 grams raw, I chewed them. You explained my “bad trip” exactly 100% it’s crazy. From the warping of time in the mind, to the waves, to my heart feeling tighter and feeling like my heart was slowing down
During the comedown I realized it wasn’t as bad as I was making it, but the hallucinations really tripped me out way more than I had expected. I also kept getting stuck in thought loops
I've experienced the exact opposite. When I take acid i never know what to expect because there are so many variations of it some of wich can hurt you. Shrooms are just shrooms. You know what to expect every time. A bit of acid bias in this video. Make no mistake, mushrooms are a far more consistent and you know what you're getting each time. There are hundreds of analogs of acid all drastically different from one another. I also would get far worse cold sweats and vascular constriction from forms of acid. With acid I also feel sick or like I've injested something oily, metallic, or industrial. With shrooms I feel like I've eaten something fermented or laced with alchohol. My personal experience. Nausea is the same with both for me. Momentary and fleeting
From my personal experience: with acid the come up is always a good time but as soon as the peak hits it’s suddenly overstimulation hell and then it’s a downward spiral from there that lasts wayy too long, goes up and down and I’m just waiting for it to be over.. the last acid trip I had ended up bringing up a ton of trauma I had been subconsciously repressing and I realized everything wrong with me and my life and everything I need to change and its actually how I came to the realization that I have a ton of autistic traits and there’s a high chance I probably have autism lol so when the trip was over I was painfully self aware, which could be a good thing except that I didn’t have the access to the proper tools needed to make changes in my life and to myself and that self awareness hasn’t gone away 🙃 As for shrooms my experience has always been very calming and therapeutic, I just feel like life is so beautiful and everything is going to be okay eventually
Probably the thing that I most lean on, if I think I feel a bad vibe coming on, no matter the chem, is, 'embrace it, learn to live with it' & 'gently look for something (possible someone) that is happy and interesting for me. Then, no matter if i ever find that happy thing or person, remember to 'accept it & let it' >I always find a three day arts & music fest to be perfect, because if I have a good trip, then great, if a bad one, there's always plenty to distract me from that "oh man, is this ever going to stop" feeling that can hppen.
I've always been afraid of LSD. I've heard it's like a stimulate. I use to get anxiety attacks all the time before mushrooms helped me. So far I haven't had a real bad trip on mushrooms.. thank God. I've had struggles but nothing like I hear from a bad trip. Even my one breakthrough, I was just fine & went with it. Mushrooms have been extremely good to me. I know on mushrooms if I start having anxiety on the come up I can talk myself out of negativity. But if I were to do LSD, I'm not sure I could convince myself that I'm not having a heart attack. I've had one friend out of 5 that's had a bad LSD trip. But the bad trip friend took 2 tabs his first go, which I & others told him to only take one. But I'm much different & I think it would be very hard to get the proper dose to enjoy. I want a full experience but if I go over, I know it will suck. Mushrooms are easier to dose for me. LSD is iffy af. Not knowing if I have the actual substance without a test kit, then not knowing how potent they actually are. With mushrooms, if I get some really potent ones, I know I just have to hold on for a bit & enjoy the ride.
I’ve always said: Mushrooms are like going to school. It’s scary for it’s own reasons like social fear. Acid is like going to the carnival. It’s scary because of the thrill.
With lsd, after I start freaking out a little, everything feels like it's a shutter. Like time is chopped into frames. It doesn't feel real. I get really hot and feel like I have to run. With mushrooms I feel reality is going to melt away and I'm going to fall into a void forever. Also thought, like you said, I would be like this forever. That I broke my brain and became full blown schizo.
I had a similar experience when I took 4.5 grams of shrooms. Did it at a park inside my car and forgot who I was and I thought I was going to be like this forever and become schizo. Bad trip overall
