Bad trip?

am hoping someone could help me? The two times I've taken LSD, I've had bad trips...felt like i was going insane. Is this normal or am I just someone who can't take it? Or was it that I just got bad doses? Please, I'm worried and was hoping someone could tell me. Peace be with you.

Well if you have had bad trips then that's how it is. Sometimes LSD can be degraded and turn into a nasty chemical, doesn't happen too often though so most likely it is psychological, mabey try taking less and see if you can handle it.

 

I took only one the last time. However, I heard that it's all about my surroundings and whom I'm with. Just afraid that I'm one who can't control it. Then again it was strychnine based, too...is that safe or no?

 

Next time try to cut the hit in half with scissors. Once you can handle a half hit, you can try a hit again. And yes try to go somewhere peaceful either by yourself or with someone cool.

 

dude i think your someone who doesnt like tripping. if u thought u were going insane thats normal, u just ate a chemical that makess you trip balls...your gonna be fucked up lol.

 

ty fresh..i'm going to do that

Dead, so not to be rude, but you're presuming that I don't "like" to trip? And you can say that my bad trip was caused b/c i don't like to trip and not b/c I had a bad dose? wow, all i wanted to do was "see" what all the hype over lsd was about, glad you know me better than me.

 

still with this bs man? please stop spreading misinformation. if you really love acid, stop telling people things you don't know to be true, like they were facts.

op: why was it a bad trip? what do you mean you felt like you were going insane?

 

Mr. Writer, I felt weird pressure inside my nasal passages. I felt extremely paranoid, my muscles were cramping badly, though I was drinking lots of water and fluids. I didn't "see" anything. I felt like I was trying to "escape" my body, with no avail...and then finding that I didn't want to "escape", so I just tried to hold on...i dunno, it didn't feel like what everyone described to me how it would, I thought I was going to lose my mind. My friend recalls that I kept saying over and over that "I wasn't coming back" back from what? I don't know b/c I was on the floor in a fetal position.

 

I only spread first hand experience, I wouldn't say that unless it didn't happen to me but I have had bad acid before best thing to do is get rid of it or give it to somebody you don't like.

 

How many hits were your 2 trips?

 

it doesn't matter...Hey, I appreciate you two helping me out and all...you two are the only ones that even responded. I didnt even get a hello from all the people who viewed my INTRO...rather distasteful and rude, no? How do i go about deleting my account? Sorry if I sounded rude, no disrespect meant.

 

lol dude, no one reads those introductions, don't take it personally. you want friends on this forum, don't do things like be a drama queen and ask for your account to be deleted lol

lets keep talking about this. what doses were your experiences?

 

He already said that he took 1 hit both times. Yeah don't leave puffinfrog.

 

No such thing.

it sounds like you are just not ready for the psychedelic state. do you smoke pot? you should start very low doses of L and work up. there is difficulty in letting go here, in being distracted by little bumps in the road like nasal pressure. feeling odd things like that happens all the time on acid, it shouldn't freak you out and dominate your trip though. that is all on you. tripping can be hard work man, not everyone can do it.

 

Yes feelings of going insane is quite a common phenomenon. Actually going insane from it is extremely rare. It sounds like you have some stumbling blocks to overcome. Best of luck for the road.

 

Well what he's saying is a feeling of "going insane" or "trying to leave your body" are essentially what acid is all about....so if that is what turns you off about it then yeah it sounds like you don't 'like' it. I don't really get why you found that so offensive...but if your taking acid to try and be cool, or because you have seen other people do it, you should not be doing it.

you take acid because you WANT to take acid not because you want to "see what the hype is about"

if you ended up in a fetal position on the floor, then I don't see why I need to even tell you you shouldn't do it again.....u trollin' boy?

just saying man, not to sound like a dick but if you took L because you thought you were going to see unicorns and look cool infornt of your friends you were wayyy misinformed.

 

Yeah before taking any drug, it's ok to have an idea of what it will be like but just remember to expect anything and everything.

 

that stuff kicked my ass...But how was your trip? lol

 

Go ahead and leave, we dont need someone who whines like a little bitch when they dont get the answer they want, especially when deadhead seemed to hit the nail on the head. Maybe you should come back after you grow up a little bit.

 

LSD makes you go insane for a few hours. That's why it's so good. Instead of being afraid of going insane, look at it like it's a beautiful thing. You get the insights of a crazy person without being stuck in that state. This is easier said than done, however. Half a dose is very unlikely to be too strong. Do this, and get used to the acid feeling. Also, do you have a history of mental health problems? Are you a paranoid and anxious person normally?
