anyone have a bad trip off fungi?

No offense, but I'm not sure if you've had a solid dose of acid before.

 

i recently went to a ben harper concert and bought some chocolate covered shrooms off a guy there, kind of was a bad idea bc i started freaking out later with all those people there. i hate being around large crowds of people while im tripping, and i cant get in the light either or ill freak out

 

^ yeah.. i'm the same way-
if i'm around a crowd or with people i don't know, i start to freak out..

i think its because even when i'm sober and not tripping, i feel uncomfortable around large crowds, or people i don't know. and being on shrooms just intensifies me being uncomfortable.

 

i may be wrong here or just thinking to deep or maybe just done too much. when i was younger and touring with the grateful dead i did a lot of crazy shit ive eaten whole sheets of acid at a time ive eaten acid for 7 weeks straight until my friends forced me to take a break and ive eaten up to a quarter ounce of shrooms at a time and never had a bad trip. im siding with sirrubin on this one its not the drug its the person. i think what causes a bad trip is that when things start spiraling out of control many people freak out and try to bring it back in control and this is where the so called bad trip comes into play. tripping is uncontrollable your either along for the ride or yur not but when the ride gets nuts you need to just roll with it if you try to control your trip more than likely your gonna have a bad trip you need to just let it take you where its gonna take you and enjoy the ride. hope i made some kind or sense

 

hallucinogens are not recreational drugs there doorways to unknown and pathways to the untouched mind

 

hallucinogens effect leads to the person rendered temporarily insane. just depends on how strong your mind is.

it does seem like the more u trip the more chance u have for a bad trip. my first 5 mushroom trips were the best, i didnt think you really could have a bad trip. I had one really bad trip on an 1/8th of some WIERD strain of mushrooms with lemon juice, the effect was colorful but made you feel WIERD unlike any strain ive had. I had a trip on 3 hits of acid that made me feel kind of edgy the whole time, and my roommates stupid bitchy girlfriend didnt help that out at all. both times i was fine, knew what i was doing/where i was etc. but just didnt feel comfortable for some reason.

my last trip ever, i took about 4g of some homegrown mushrooms with lemon juice along with 2mg of xanax, and freaked out for 15 minutes somewhere during the trip. now im rendered unable to trip or smoke weed but its more of a + than a -

 

nope i definitely have... the visuals were quite intense... but i've NEVER been as thoughtful on l as i have on shrooms...
on l i feel goofy and everything is hilarious.. even if i'm seeing ridiculous things that aren't there.. i probably haven't taken my limit, however.
i just know that shrooms make me much more insightful and thoughtful about everything.

 

I'm exactly the opposite - acid brings everything together for me, the way I organize everything seems really well defined and makes perfect sense for the way the world is. Shrooms take everything apart for me, I feel as though I'm being taken out of it, goofy, I get a sense of wonderment at how things just go by themselves (like when I went to the bathroom, that was astounding).

I guess it just underscores the fact that both drugs affect different people in different ways...personally shrooms are my beast, I'd be much more leary of doing a high dose of shrooms than a high dose of acid, but I know that most people would have a better time on shrooms and that acid would be harder to handle. So it also goes that some people will be more likely to have a bad trip off of one or the other, depending on what sort of effects that drug has on that individual.

 

no acid DOES bring everything together for me! sorry maybe goofy was poor choice in wording on my part. not goofy... silly maybe? everything does make sense.. it's just hilarious!
shrooms make me feel out of it too. my mind races and i have that same sense of wonderment that you are speaking of.
see, i would also rather do massive amounts of l rather than a large amount of shrooms. i think we are saying the same thing in different words. hahaha.

 

LOL Yeah I think so too, probably the difference is that you like how you think better when you're shroomin and I like my thoughts better when I'm on LSD.

Both make things feel silly, my first time shroomin I remember tellin my friend that "we've turned my basment into a funhouse..lets go exploring." After which I proceeded to wear a cookie as a hat, got lost in a blanket, tried to communicate with a singing bowl (one of those meditation things, it takes some practice to learn how to do it right) and couldn't learn how to make it talk, so asked my friend to "translate" for us. When I'm on acid I tend to talk like Mitch Hedberg and say really funny shit...more funny to me, but some of my friends view me taking acid and all of us basically doing nothing as a source of entertainment.

The last time I tripped really won acid over for me though, after a week of not sleeping well I ate a ten strip and that really blasted me out into abstract thinking land, had some of the most awesome thoughts that were actually...applicable to life. So I like acid more lol.

 

well, actually i like how i think better on acid. shrooms.. sometimes it's all just too much... hahaha. we are confusing each other.

 

I find a heavy does of mushrooms on it's own too overwhelming. The internal monologue controls the trip for me. What have I done? Is this going to be the trip that makes me permanently fucked? why the fuck am I scared? Where is that d00d going? etc...paranoid ramblings inside the brain...now I smooth it out with MDMA ALWAYS...makes me less introverted and extremely social whille the visual effects are present. Body load from both at the same time is rough though..the #2 fairy usually leaves me a gift that I need to unwrap really soon half way through the trip...cramping bloating gas and overall discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract are always present....know your boundaries and be safe..

 

That is correct sir!

 

Strang3 and Beatlerific - this is what destroys it...the increased thought process ABOUT YOURSELF. When I'm on acid, it's always thinkin about society as a whole, the very most abstract concepts, generalities as well as the smaller sections that make everything make sense and the connections between everything. Shrooms..oh god. It's very "me" centered and at least the last time I tripped - 15g's - my thoughts got very recursive, fractal, one leading to the next and the next and the next and then back to the beginning to start all over.

The internal monologue is way more...sinister with mushrooms, especially for me because I have a very strong moment to moment thinking process. With acid it's good because it's used to think about anything that comes to mind (even the normal shit comes together differently) but with shrooms it's just way ...too much. Emotional roller coaster.

 

I haven't ever had a full bad trip, but parts of my trips have gone bad. One time when trippig on 320mg of benadryl I smelled nothing but blood and felt like I was about to fall over at any minute. Another time when I took shrooms I was flipping because my eyes were so dialated and it scared me into thinking that I was gonna die which let to my stomach hurting like crazy hell and then I just took a few breathers, smoked a bowl and all was good ^.^

 

last time i did shrooms i had a conversation with a lamp post, thought i was in a spaceship in space, then tried talking to a waterbottle. after that everything around me felt amazing, as if i were on X(although ive never done it) but anyway everything i touched felt amazing and i couldnt stop laughing. bright colors and rainbows were everywhere, has anyone else seen rainbows or shit thats not there? ive done that twice

 

altough i havent taken them befor my cousin has informed me many times that if you ever want to do schrooms or anything remotely the same you need to be in a good mood.. in a good place and around a generally good enviroment. otherwise your feelings and atmosphere kills the experience. i dont know if this applies to everyone but its better to be safe then sorry i guess

 

Oh that definitely applies to everyone. It's just one of those things that you shouldn't do if you're upset, because in the words of HS Thompson, "the threat of collapse is very real."
