ive never tried shrooms before and im thinking about it now. im kinda scared tho cuz i dont want to have a bad trip. so does anyone know any tips on how to have a good one?
dont be around more then a couple of people. dont let them ask you how you are doing every 5 minutes dont drive anywhere dont be in a place where uninvited uninspired people are going to bother you. dont kill yourself try lying in the grass looking at the stars until you feel ready to stand up, thats how i always like to start off, sometimes i never did make it to the standing up part though.
the only way to not have a bad trip, or better phrased "to have an enlightening experience". is to 1. eat at least 3 grams 2. turn off the lights 3. close your eyes 4. continue
don't think about having a bad trip, relax, and remember if you do start to freak yourself out it is only the drugs! you'll be fine! and breathe. when it becomes overwhelming i've always took deep breathes and layed back for a second. just go into the experience as positive as possible
ya i have a tip. keep a positive mindset. stop thinking about whether your trip will be good or bad and focus on your trip lol.
im with him. go in with good feelings, come out with good feelings. oh. and definitely do it with a friend who is also tripping and a sober sitter the sober person usually brings a sense of security over you.
Location, Location, Location. Be in a familiar environment, around people you know and most importantly trust. Have a sitter on standby just incase. Be prepared and have items on hand like water, just in case you feel you need to take a swig of water to calm yourself down. Having some tranquil soothing music helps. Don't 2nd guess your decision. You are bound to have some anxiety by consuming a drug that you have never taken before. Just chill and take it easy. No matter how intense the trip is, nothing bad can happen from taking the drug unless you get up and start moving around while tripping or something
Be with awesome people in your life, don't be scared, and have a comfortable place to do it. Never be scared of having a bad trip, otherwise you will. You have to figure that millions of people take mushrooms, they come from earth and if your not eating a ton of them, you'll be okay. It's good to have a babysitter that is experienced too! I personally like to take mushrooms outside with mother nature, but some people cannot handle it.
Usually, for first timers, there is always a "sitter". Someone who has knowledge about the drug and makes sure you and whoever you are with won't do anything stupid. However, the sitter needs to be someone you know, trust, and are very comfortable with, along with the other people who are tripping. That is the most important thing. Make sure you are comfortable with your environment and the people you are with. And most importantly, you shouldn't go into it WORRIED about a bad trip. Any negative feelings you have may manifest themselves as a bad trip. So think positive, and everything should be fine. My friends cousin went out to a party, and tried shrooms for the first time (not a good idea) her friends had to call us up, and all we could hear is her freaking out in the background and running from people. Her buddies had no clue what to do. Once we got there, we took her somewhere quite, and calmed her down. Knowledge is the KEY to doing any drug. I have done a good amount in the past, and never had a bad trip on anything because I was knowledable of the drug before hand and I was with people I trusted. Be safe and have fun !
I did mushies my first time alone, and probably ate 3.5g of them. I had a bunch of fun, but I have yet to have a bad trip. I also dosed 5-MeO-AMT alone my first time, I thought I was going to die. But it was my most memorable trip, and I now love the substance.
is a bad trip even something to be really worried about? even if you have a bad trip it seems like it would still be worth doing them
I have never had a "bad" trip because I never worry about having one. I always manage to keep myself calm. I don't believe they are something to worry over, but, keep in mind that it can happen. Don't stress yourself over it. Picture this: You're having a great night with a couple friends. You all took a handful of shrooms, which is nothing out of the ordinary. You settle into the couch to listen to some music and let the shrooms take hold of your mind. Then the music you're listening to, a cd that you've known front to back for years, suddenly turns dark, unfamiliar, and puts a chilling fringe down the back of your neck. The treble pierces your ears like small needles in and out of a balloon. The sound of the bass hits the inside of your heart as if its going to explode from within. As soon as you notice your heart, you realize that its beating faster than you've ever felt it beat. You sit up and realize then that something's wrong. Are you having a heart attack? It's just the shrooms. Right? What if it's not? What if the psilocybin's poisoning my body? What if I took too much? Maybe I should go outside and have a cigarette. Yeah, that's what I'll do! But, won't the nicotine make my heart beat faster? Shit, the music's still chipping away at my life, beat by beat. Don't take them if you're unsure. Shrooms, peyote, ayahuasca and such are capable of naturally shifting your consciousness to another "perspective". One in which "time" and "reality" do not act in the same manner as in "normal" standards. If you're not ready to experience that, whether it be a "bad" trip or "good" trip then perhaps you should not be experiencing certain drugs. I know people who have had "bad" trips and still do the certain drugs - they learnt to maintain a calm and over power the drug. Drugs are a bet with your mind.
Yeah ganjafairy i didn't picture having a bad trip as a situation like that and that really would suck
It truly does matt2993. It's also pretty horrifying to watch a buddy experience a bad trip. People never think that a bad trip, can turn out for the worst.
What I have learned, is set and setting. Both can really drastically change the outcome of a trip. Trip in a safe place, and hold onto some sense that your still 'you' and your on a 'drug' (?) and you'll be fine. Just take it, and forget about it and let it take you away to a beautiful place.
