i've had 2, one being the most horrible experience of my life. I was 100% sure I was dead, and that I would never see my family again.
awe thats horrible. I only did once, i ate a quarter of fresh juicy shrooms after being wasted and things didnt seem so pretty to me, i wanted to smash my face into the wall it was crazy. i told the kids i was with i thought they were gonna eat my first born lmao its funny, a kid i know thinks hes the drug god but tried to tell me you cant have a bad trip off shrooms....i think i would know, its happened to me
yer id agree man...sumink about shrooms jus got more of a tendency to chaange emotions all of a sudden.x
I think that many people would agree that shrooms are easier to go bad than acid. I think this is because people tend to respect acid more (i dunno why). I know in my part of the world, people don't even dose shrooms accurately. They say "I ate X caps." Well, I mean 3 caps of shrooms at 10g fresh each vs. 3 caps of shrooms at 15/20/25g each is a BIG difference. Acid is easy to dose, doesn't require a scale. I'm willing to bet if you weighed the shrooms before consumption and kept the dose similar to what you would take on acid, it would probably be about the same chance of freaking out. Of course, it also seems hard to consider shrooms in LSD terms, at least to me. I like to think that 1 hit of acid (assuming 75mcg ish) is about 2g of dry shrooms, but I think that 7g of dry shrooms is closer to 5 hits of acid in terms of intensity. It's hard to say.
Sometimes I look at my posts and I realize that by the end of it I am contradicting what I said in the beginning.
Haha i do that too. Shrooms, I've noticed, are a bit more emotionally volatile than acid is, there seems to be a euphoric component to the acid experience that seems to keep things in a much more "oh wow, look at that" kinda mood. I've had a bad trip on shrooms, and one other time trippin alone that ended up really odd (it was a realization of a dream that wasn't gonna happen, learning that I was going to have to give it up...kinda helped actually) But THE BIG ONE...I ate around 15 grams, had a REAL good time for about 2-2.5 hours, then got REALLY REALLY sick for a while, couldn't tell whether or not I was dead, whether what I thought I was doin was actually what i was doin, basically just real scared...reality had totally come apart. The long story got posted in the acid forum in the "for those who have taken both acid and shrooms" thread. It's a really long story, and I didn't even include all of it.
Ive never had a problem, one time I ate a large fresh shroom, was feeling pretty good, I guess I forgot I had taken the shroom then drank a bottle of wine. That was a bad mistake. Only time ive puked after taking shrooms.
I've done shrooms way too many times and the only thing that's close to a bad trip is throwing up on certain trips... it happens though... other than that, shrooms are beautiful... I could not imagine having a bad trip on them with such a constant feeling of harmony and balance. Yet again, the whole bad trip phenomenon is not drug based, but person based... in my humble opinion. Two people can take the same dose of same shrooms and one can have the best trip of his life while the other can have his worst... it's all in your head. Learn to be perfectly confident in yourself and you will never have a bad trip.
the first time i did shrooms it was horrible, i thought i was an old woman, then i got this smell in my nose that was suffacating and would not go away. i couldnt go to sleep bc i thought i would stop breathing if i did.
I find it to be very emotional and memory packed. I'll be laughing my ass off one minute crying like a baby the next. All in all it's a cathartic experience.
i wouldnt think dosage would be a problem. i wouldnt compare it to acid... a synthesized chemical. shrooms seem to be more in tune to your emotions and people react differently to that. i think there are other reasons for bad trips also
Psilocybin and LSD are structurally similar, so the comparison is valid. I do agree that shrooms are more emotional, and that there are other reasons for bad trips. There are as many reasons for bad trips as there are different people. For me it was "why am I spending all this money on trippin" and other things that were wrong with me, and dreams I had that were unrealistic. Kinda helped to have all that lined out though, shrooms helped me just as much as LSD did, just in a different way.
actually i believe it's more normal to have a bad trip off shrooms than acid.. shrooms sometimes make me get lost in my head while acid just makes me feel goofy and happy..
my first trip i ate an 8th. felt good at first then i got a really bad mental high, but once i just relxed it got really freakin fun. havin a bad trip sucks but it never stopped me from trippin again
i almost blacked out on shrooms once. twas terrible because i was at a show, wanting to have a good time. it took at turn for the worse though. i also seem to get lost in my thought, asking myself stupid ass questions... it just depends on the scenery. i don't like doing shrooms if i have to be cooped up indoors.
nope! only time ive ever even had a slightly bad trip was when i was on 2ce.... but the bad part only lasted about 20 mins.
I had a bad trip off shrooms only one time, and i've done them many times. At first it was real great and I was laughing and stuff, then I went out in public, and when i came back to my dorm room i started thinking that everyone in the room was mad at me.. and then everyone left except one person that i asked to stay with me, and i cried for awhile. i went outside to smoke a cigarette and i got locked out of my room so i started crying again and i felt real hot like i was going to pass out. after that i was ok. i'll probably do shrooms again, i just wasn't in the right mind set or anything when i had the bad trip.
yeah in my experience the more i trip on shrooms, the more likely i am to have a bad trip. when i first started doing them, i NEVER had bad trips.. now, after doing them for years, it seems that bad trips are much more common.
