so im new hear and to be honest i just want to get some input about an experience of mine a few months back. it requires a little back story, so i hope this post isnt going to be too long for all to read. so anyway, im 20 and a college student. ive been smoking for some time and started to trip the shrooms last years. i have only done them a few times and id say they were an overhelming success with the exception of a few weak trips. all of my trips were good. so i decided, or rather jumped upon acid. i was offeded a solid hit from a friend a few months back and really couldnt turn it down. all of my other tripping experiences were incredible and my mind has always been propely open. so i took the acid and within a short time i was going off. i had some basic visuals and my mind was really running around with intense yet perfectly harmless ideas. in the first half hour it was much like my previous experiences with shrooms and i enjoyed it alot. things started to dance and i was toying with philosophical ideas like they were balls of clay. soon after i decided i didnt want to waste this opportunity and wanted to write. as an avid writer i thought it would be a great plan. i left my other tripping friends and retired to my single dorm room. soon after my trip got intense and went sour. once in my room i started seeing things move in ways that were not amusing or stimulating like before. i sat in a chair and just looked around. out of the corner of my eye, my closet door kept tunring into a tall man wearing all black. after i was able to calm myself for a while, i sat down to write but began to hear people outside and thought they were saying my name over and over. later on it progresses into my family, who live some 4 odd hours away. by now an hour and a half has passed since i took the hit and my mind is taken over by the thoughts(sounds) of my mother crying outside. i was by myself for this and soon a close friend came to my room upon the reccommendation of another mutial friend who had seen me earlier that night. once my friend came i was calmed for a bit but once again the intense thoughts returned. my mother was once again outside crying and i began to think that every single person i had ever met in my entire life was outside my window waiting for me to leave my room. the pressure of this was too great and i began to feel trapped inside. soon every object in my room was a significant sign of my own insanity. i began to think for several hours that i was in a mental hospital and that my friend was my doctor giving me water with drugs in it. i began to think about being in a mental prison and it was now taking over an beyond my control. after a few hours inside the "mental hospital room" i was convinced by my friend to go outside. she was with me through all of this and kept my "sane". at this point i went outside and smoked a cig and was rather calm. within the the time it takes to smoke a cigarette though, i was upset by the horrible weather and went back to being paranoid. inside i went through a series of intense mind trip, which included my friend not being real and myself having died in a car crash 4 years proir. eventually i was calmed and came down with no real side effects. or so i thought. the following days went by as normal and everything good. shortly after i began to feel the same intsense paranoia when i smoked. at the time i was a daily smoker and it began to snowball into a few nights of near paranoid breakdown. as a result i quit smoking and cannot see any side effects of the trip. i guess the purpose of this thread is to ask if others have had similar effects or have heard of these lasting feelings of paranoia while smoking. thanks
Weed definitely "brings back" acid; I never found that it "brings back" shrooms. You might want to lay off the weed for a month or so to chill yourself out. And maybe ... MAYBE ... after you've been clear of negative feelings for a while, take a light, low dose of 'cid to sort through what you've been through and smooth it out in your mind.
Interesting. I too have one solid acid trip under my belt (deuce hits of liquid, soo long earth). Unlike the OP my experience was purely enjoyable. The following days I had a distinct feeling of things just being 'different'. Sitting on the chair lift at the ski resort the next day my vision had an inexplicable and indescribable change... things just didnt feel the same. Of course I found these feelings to subside rather quickly and I continued my daily smoking routines. However a few days after the trip, 20 minutes before dinner me and my roommate sat down to fire up a heaping bowl of kief to whet our appetites. I'll be damned if weed has never set me off like that before. It wasn't like a flashback to the acid trip, I was just TWEAKED. I smoke pretty much as much as possible and I know what I'm like high, and this wasn't it. My body was incredibly flush, I was panicked and couldn't sit still, extreme discomfort and a real weed 'freak out' like that kid who lied and said he'd hit a double perc'd tube before. This was the most intense episode however for a few days to a week a heavy smoking session (kief hits, blunt of the lights etc.) would make me feel generally uncomfortable and incredibly anxious. Not the irie mellow yellow high I was used to. Low dosages did not produce this affect. Long story short? Yes, I too found smoking to be completely different post acid trip. This was a real downer for me and I at first regretted the trip. Since then things have balanced back down to normal and smoking is just as great as it's always been. Too bad I have a drug test in 28 days and I need to figure out how to pass (quit as of yesterday). Ooh how I miss thee mary jane! Looks like it's psilocybin and LSD for this kid.
just lay off the herb for a while, you'll be able to smoke again. basically, you had a traumatic experience and herb is a mild psychedelic, mind manifesting drug so basically your experiencing post traumatic stress symptoms every time you smoke. i'd reccomend u just give yourself time to relax and properly integrate the experience before you go back to using any drugs although it seems like you had a really hard trip for that small of a dose, i know how things can go. when you go into a small room when tripping, or any closed space, the room becomes your whole world. its like your thoughts and energy just starts to cycle and get trapped in the little space. i think being in a small room alone will make you trip a lot harder, your mind has no one to communicate to so it begins to create a little microcosm universe out of your environment. every object becomes overly familiar to the extent where it relates directly to some thought over the course of the night and eventually you begin to feel like you are in your own little mad house (hence the medical hospital feeling). visuals get way more intense when you have no one to talk to do or pay attention to. i would have reccomended listenging to some good music with your friend and just closing your eyes, breathing. you'll be alright, and if you ever take psychs again remember - all the good thoughts are great, but temporary, just like the bad ones. its near impossible to try and write a coherent piece of prose when trippin, so while you might gain some great ideas for writing, go with the flow of the trip stay and laugh with your friends and write that paper in the morning when your mind comes back together.
Yeah, that bit about tripping in a room makes a lot of sense. This kinda happened with me, but it wasn't really a "bad" trip, it was pretty good actually, but it wasn't LSD, it was shrooms. Actually just happened yesterday. But yeah all your thoughts and everything get contained in that room with you, and when you go to a new place or maybe outside, it feels like all the thoughts are lifted off of you and makes you feel much better (least to me). I also think the deeper your trip (Like the higher your dose), the easier it is to change your moods really quick (Whether it be from good to bad, or bad to good). This happened once yesterday because for some odd reason I started to feel really bad and I felt hopeless to stop it. This is odd for me because I can usually just go with the flow and feel good a whole trip. But anyway, so I was listening to Jimi and I had that rush of a bad emotion, but then all of a sudden the music changed, and I felt revitalized and better then ever (which stayed that way until the end of the trip). So just goes to show you to never lose faith if things seem bad while tripping for some reason.
i have once got lost tripping the fuck out with one of my friends tryng to get to a state park it was intense and there was a wierd negative energy trapped in the car finaly we stopped on the side of the road jsut to get some fresh air and clear are heads i felt like a whole new person but right when i sat back in the car its like that energy was trapped in there and it felt the exact same as before it was fucked up shit we ended up asking like 10 people for directions including a dnr officer which was an intense expierence, imagine trying to take down directions from an officer tripping out. None of the directions got us there because i would just forget everything the person would tell me like 2 seconds later, finaly we turned down some random road and saw signs for the park. It was a good lesson learned "unless you no the way wait until you arrive at your destination!!"
