    Arguably, there is no such thing as a bad trip.


    In every "bad" Trip I've had, I've learned something new or experienced something new, no matter how negative it felt. Because of this I've considered every bad trip to be a good trip.

    I've never had a fully "bad trip". There've been a couple unpleasant "coming down" times, specifically with LSD, but fortunately they were fairly short-lived and didn't outweigh the positive aspects of the experiences.

    While it's important to try and be aware of all possible outcomes, I think that too much contemplation of bad trips may actually CAUSE bad trips. For this reason, I won't describe particular aspects of the negative thoughts and feelings I've had during the few bad times.

    In closing:

    Don't Worry, Be Hippy!!!

    Love,

    being paranoid as hell is bad.

    you really need to work your trip to make it good... if you feel bad [paranoid, scared ect] you should do things that make you relaxed like music.. sit back and enjoy the ride as these intense emotions kick in.

    wat kerbe said basically sums up MY bad trips. all trips are going to have some intense frightening deppressing moments to them but the better u handle it the more likely ull be able to learn something from it personally the trips ive had that were all happy visuals and laughing were fun but i didnt really gain anything from them i consider my worst trip to be my most important one it really brought my worst fears to the forefront those being death and wat comes after, living and dieing alone, it made me realize that fear in its purest form is a survival mechanism just like most of our emotions are including love. when i finally reached this point in my trip the negativity seemed to melt away and there was nothing left but peace, not euphoria or bliss but a calm inner peace that swept over me and fear had become powerless or yet i saw that it had always been powerless and it was only me that was holding me back. sorry about going off topic but really asking wat is a bad trip is like asking wat is a trip like its different for everyone i personaaly think that people who are scared away from psychadelics are those who cant conquer their fears in the deepest realms of their own mind, but i could be very very wrong

    I think watching TV is neat sometimes. It puts you in situations you couldn't get on your own. TV is way deeper when you watch it trippin, its no waste, thats for sure.
