Bad Trip Experiences

[HerbGlaze]

I know every mush-head has had a bad trip or few.

So lets hear some stories of them, here ill tell you my one and only life changing bad trip involving Mushrooms..

I was young about 13, you know the partier that can take bong loads of hash and thinks he can handle anything.. anyways.
The first time I did shrooms I took about a handful of old caps and stems and didn't feel anything.. but some sound changes and a little bit of confusion.. I felt the body high but not the tripping at all.

So I went for a second run, I bought a heart shaped chocolate that had shrooms in it, I had no clue the potency of it so I went into my room cranked some trippy music on and turned off the lights and talked on the phone with my current girlfriend at the time. I ended up eating a half of the chocolate ..10-20 Minutes went by and nothing happened then BOOM!
I got hit fast by it.. and it was automatically a scary trip I could tell.. I had no person there to watch me and trip with me. I began to hallucinate and saw changes in colors. It was my first real trip and I couldn't handle it at all.
I went to the bathroom and tried to puke I couldn't and then I looked in the mirror and saw my eyes and they were pure black I couldn't see my eye color at all. I began to freak out all alone.. tried to get my parents attention but there door was shut and locked. I had no choice.. I scared my self so much I thought my tongue was rolling in my throat I called 911 and said I was having a overdose.
The ambulance picked me up and I was taken to the hospital. I felt so stupid..

Anyways thats the story..
But here is the thing, I get panic attacks now when I smoke pot.. sometimes I will be fine but some strains can mess with my head and bring back that feeling I had when I took shrooms. I have been told its a chemical brain imbalance, but I need to get rid off it.. I need to start being a daily smoker again!

Advice would be much appreciated.

wow that sounded like a horrible trip. What did they do with you at the hospital?

Basically, I was hallucinating to the point of me.. hearing people say things that weren't real.
Like, "He could die" and stuff along that line.

Very bad stuff for sure, the dude said there was 4 grams in the chocolate but I think there was a lot more for sure.
The first time I had a lot, and didn't trip one bit.

Anyways they were for sure psychedelic mushrooms in the chocolate though, they confirmed that.

Damn dude i have heard of people calling 911 before, must be funny for the paramedics.

I was about 16 with 2 other friends and we had each takin an 8th of some good shrooms. We were alone, out along a river at night in the middle of nowhere with a small camp fire and thats it. The trip was going well at first, then my friend starting puking and freaking out and caused a chain reaction. I dont remember much about the next few hours but I know it was spent laying face down in the dirt think I was going to die, or that i would never feel normal again. All 3 of us thought we were gonna die and shit. It was horrible, probably the worst experience of my life. I gained a new respect for drugs that night

We were 16 I believe and had one of the best summers up to that point. My friends girlfriend who lived a few houses down from him was out of town with her parents. She asked him to feed their horse while they were gone. While he was there, he noticed huge patches of mushrooms. Since we had already done them once, we were definitely interested in trying them again.

So me and another friend went over there and couldn't believe our eyes. It was like a field of dreams. Shrooms as big as your hand and probably 7" tall. We picked I wanna say 13 of them of various sizes then went back to his house and brewed them up. I took two packets of kool aid and cups and cups of sugar just to dilute it enough to actually drink it. It was almost like drinking blood since it was fruit punch.

So later on, we're hanging out in his room while his parents went to bed. We're sipping on our glass when all of a sudden I realized I drank the entire glass whereas my friends stopped about half way through. I figured eh it'll be one helluva trip.

Next thing I know, I'm on the ground crying my eyes out swearing that I'm dying. My friends kept telling me to lay down but when I looked at the floor, it looked like it was 10' away and it was my grave. I kept telling them that if I lay down, I'm gonna die. So they call up my girlfriend which wakes up her step dad which pissed him off. I'm on the phone crying saying how much I loved her and that I'll always love her.

A couple hours went by and I finally calmed down enough to go to sleep while my friends enjoyed the most incredible sunrise they had ever seen.

We were completely sober for an entire year after that lol

Edit: after the years went by and I developed panic attacks, I have come to the conclusion that a bad trip is nothing more than I prolonged panic attack that you are unable to control because you're in such an altered state.

Once you get that bad thought in your head, it just snowballs. Tripping deff isn't for everybody because a lot of ppl don't understand that a mushroom trip isn't always a fun experience...but it's always a learning experience. Personally I've had some tough trips that weren't necessarily fun but never actually freaked out, I've eaten mushrooms at least 50 times..

ate a quarter one time camping at a festival on accident. The dude i bought the from was fucked up and didnt know how much it was. Bought 3 sacks, me and my boy took one each and saved one. Get home and weight it and its frickin 7gs. Anyways so after we take them, i trip harder than i ever have in my life. It wasent even fun.

Summer nights are cool, but for some reason i was sweating my balls off. It was shitty.

It was claimed at one time (circa 1978 or so) that taking one of the B vitamins (B-12 I believe) would lessen the effects of mushrooms if one was having a bad experience.

Hopefully that information did not come from High Times Magazine - to say the least.

It's probably best to do your own investigation.

I would love to write a looong answer to this about my veeeery many tough trips (like someone said above) but I just cant, it'd be a book and it wouldnt make any sense to anyone.. Eaten most of the known and cultivated magic mushrooms many many times, def not something that one shouldnt play with, mind that is. Many people get bad trips if theyre not well prepared for the journey and thats when things get ugly. If set&setting is right and you fill your head with beautiful, peaceful thoughts then chances for a bad trip are very little...

Never had a bad trip, but i've had a few 5min freak outs (in my head). Heart rate starts to speed up, nothing looks the same, colors turn black and look like they start to decay, can't hear right, think people are plotting on me, and just straight scared and with mass paranoia that it is the end. (the end of what i'm not always sure) But I always seem to level my head out before it gets to crazy. Then 10mins later i'll have the biggest grin on my face, like i just survived a war and made it home safe to my family. But hey that shrooms, they are crazy, and you have to know that crazy shit will happen. Just remind yourself that you're tripping the fuck out and it will be fine, as long as you let it. If you feel sick, puke and don't let it fuck with head, just go with it and let the colors mix, walls breath, and tress dance.

On a side note, I can't eat shrooms alone, idk what it is but it really puts me in a funk that i can't over come, just 4-6 hours of awkwardness. But I can eat LSD all day by myself and be 100% fine with it. Also, never start with more than 2gs your 1st time, or you might just fuck yourself. I've ate plenty of 8ths of shrooms. But I have never tripper harder off 1.5g of some crazy ass shrooms. If you would have ate these shrooms for your 1st time you would have been shitting your pant with how they just completely take over your reality.
