Experiences Trip Reports: Bad Trips from Magic Mushrooms

crazy and i thought i had bad shroom trips.

 

Apparently psychedelics can bring about latent psychological problems, so I don't see why they couldn't intensify problems you already have. I've only taken mushrooms once, but I think with anything heavier than alcohol or weed, you should have a really supportive group of people around you for the trip. Nature usually makes for good feelings, but being in a house with people you might not like will obviously make things worse. By the way, smoking weed and drinking alcohol while on shrooms or any other hallucinogen can make your experience so much more unpredictable and frightening. Shrooms don't usually make people violent, but alchol can, so maybe it was that.


The bottom line is: don't take shrooms if they make you insane!

 

Wow, that is really crazy. I always stay away from large groups of people, except in some occasions, like if i am comfertable with all the people and so on/so forth. When i did shrooms i was with like 6 good friends, but i hardly tripped at all, no visuals whatsoever, only tons of luaghter

 

I tripped so bad on those I haven't done them in like 12 years...never eat 3/4 of an eighth of shrooms and expect to maintain in an unfamiliar group- it's not possible...with drugs ususally a little goes a long way. I have learned this as of late, though my drug of choice I do nice piles of just to make myself happy, if I'm alone I have the perfect oppurtunity to just do a big old ish, using my judgement on how much I need, not having to worry about anyone seeing me buzz hard, or asking me constantly if I'M O.K. If I wasn't O.K., I would call help, fool.

 

I haven't had a bad trip like that. But my brother did, was quiet similair to yours with nudity etc.


I don't get like that because I am picky with who I do drugs with, only real close friends.

 

Am I the only one that thinks bad trips on shrooms is rediculis?(just like that spelling) I can tell you that no matter what the dosage of shrooms I could never have a bad trip, setting doesnt matter for me or anything. It is all your state of mind if you think the shrooms are strogner than your mind then you will have problems, you are in control at all times not the drug remmember that. It is how people think of hallucinagens I have never one had a bad trip on any drug and have done shrooms tons of times, lsd, DXM at super high doses ( I have had soem crazy trips you can read about udner the DXM forums but they didn't even freak me out to the verge of a bad trip) I have gotten busted by my parents while tripping, in a car wreck, put in jail, etc. But I am always at peace in side and I don't let anything get to me. I was still having a good trip when I was in jail tripping! they celled me with some drunk guy they put in there they found on the street and I told him I was tripping ballz showed him my pupils, he was like HELL YEA.

 

The most shrooms I ever did at once was a quarter ounce, I also had half a mickey of Jamaican rum and weed, it wasn't scary at all, I through up but hey I also ate some pizza pokets (bad idea). I cant see having bad trips being related to depression, I am quite often depressed and have scars to prove it but Ive never had a bad trip. Meditation is always good just mellow out. Does any one else find the sunrise after a night of drugs sad, I do.

 

I had a bad trip (also last summer) when my parents were on holiday for two weeks. I only remember I didn't slept for ten days, the food they bought me for the two weeks was still there when they came back and I though my life was over, I don't know what I was doing the nine days before my crash but my gf stayed with me the night before my parents came home, I saw stuff everywhere, couldn't breathe or move normally and my gf didn't help, she made it worser! she was talking about her job when I was trying to breathe and laughin' with things damn nothing was funny in my eyes. after hours trying to sleep, I slept for one hour, I felt so f*cked and told one of my friends I'd never take drugs again (I wish...) in the afternoon my parents were home, my mum almost started crying when she looked at me, after this I'm always trying to sleep every night and eat enough... never again.

A few weaks ago I took shrooms again for the ... time...I was with 6 guys who took shrooms and we were at the place of another mate... He had his girlfriend there as well whom i didn't know and who didn't know we were on shrooms... I didn't like to be around her at all... It kinda made me go into a bad trip... after a few hours the girl went home and everything started to be okay from then...

 

I have had 2 bad trips and I learned to respect the shrooms because thinking you're death isn't cool



shrooms are very powerfull, I had 0.7 gr of dried Copelandia Cyanescens
and it was the best trip of my life, Once I toke 1gr of "dried"
P.Cubensis and I had the worst bad trip of my life.

 

It is as you guys have
said, tripping in a unfamilair setting with the wrong state of
mind can give you a bad trip easily. But I think that part
of matthew1138's problem was alchohol.
Whilst you can get drunk whilst tripping and enjoy it, getting drunk
and then taking any drug is inadvisable! A friend of mine took acid
after drinking a lot of beer and he had a very uncomfortable trip.

Don´t take it personal, but persons having this kind of bad trips are the persons I avoid.


Like robocop said, you are in control.


This behaviour came from you, not from the shroom/drug.


Getting free of inhibitions, nudity, daring to do things we normally don´t do and sex oriented feelings are normal reactions when in drugs, but YOU are in control.


The drug is an excuse your mind is using to do things you want to experience but you don´t dare to do.


I have taken shrooms (cubensis) without any bad experience.


How old are you? How do you behave when drunk?

 

I agree, I can't imagine having a bad trip on shrooms, every time I've done them I feel completely in control. Sure you do some things you wouldn't normally, but ultimately ifI need to do it,I can regain control of myself, even on high doses.

 

I have only had one bad trip, he had taken WAY too much and got sick, while laying on the bathroom floor after puking his guts out everything went a tinge of red, he felt him self melt into the floor then continue to fall into hell (at least in his mind) this was only for about 15min but it felt like an eternity.

 

as you all know, shrooms affect ones emotions on varying levels. 2 of
my friends and i split an 8'th of shrooms once when i was in a bad mood
because it was all we had. just make sure that you're in a positive
state of mind when you take them. while my friends were having fun i
was thinking of ways to kill myself for three hours, and then i was
ready to kill my friends the rest of the time because they said that i
should leave the 2 of them all of my stuff in my will, that really
pissed me off.

 

that doesnt even sound like shrooms. were they amanitas or something? i
have never heard of anybody doing anything like that on psilocybin
mushrooms. i have seen people having bad trips and they usually just
get really frightened and try and hide or soemtihng. not like jerking
off on people and trying to destroy shit.

 

that is some crazy shit sometimes i dont need drugs i just get this wierd extrodinary experience of powerful love toward everyone like right know i love all of you so much but i know that soon ill come down and be depressed as ever it is probably my bi-polar


but id like to pose a toast to hunter s thompson may he rest in peace and his storys continue through eternity and if anybody dosent know who hunter s thompson is look him up

 

I have seen someone behaving in a sexually inapropriate way after
drinking heavily and taking acid. Someone else I knew wandered about
naked covered in shaving cream, after shaving his eyebrows off, after a
prolonged period of stimulants and pyschedelic abuse.



Psychedelics are, if anything, unpredictable!
