what to do if someone's sending you into a bad experience?

Your brother probably didn’t mean anything malevolent by his actions and if he knew that his childish and stupid behaviour would have messed with your head in such a way the chances are he wouldn’t have done it at all and would have been more understanding/helpful.

Its way too easy to misinterpret the reasons and motives behind a person’s action when tripping so it must be done around people that know your tripping and who you trust are not going to mess around. Problem is though sometimes its hard to switch these thoughts off and think in a rational way, one thing I can say though don’t let this experience spoil your relationship with your brother or put you off LSD. When your sober explain to your Brother what it meant to you “at the time” how his actions resulted in you feeling the way you did.

Sorry your first experience wasn’t as happy as you expected – better luck next time!
 
GIve them a hug and make them feel better if you can , If there going totally skitzo you may want to call the hospital. Ive seen a few friends lose it from drugs over the years and there's not much else you can do. Just try to comfort and guide them the best you can <3

Lol I think you may have misunderstood the post :D - What to do if somebody is sending "you" into a bad experience.
 
If you are going to trip, you will have to learn how to deal with bad experiences, because you will run into them sooner or later. If "bad trips" seem overwhelming to you then perhaps psychedelics are not the thing for you.

There's always something to learn from each trip, "good" or "bad"...
 
Well I guess Im just saying that if someone is causing you trouble they may just be in some themselves. And if you comfort them you will smoothen out the situation as a whole. I really dont have bad trips on drugs honestly. SOmetimes crzy shit happens but thats just life aint it.
 
I had a friend give me a bad trip once.

In essence, we had eaten some mushrooms, and I was talking to my boyfriend about how I was going to buy more... and he told me that he was all freaked I was buying so many. (I was buying like... a quarter. to split with a friend. yeah, he's annoying.) He pretty much got me all paranoid about drug use and getting arrested by the police. It was hard to get out of.

I feel like... the easiest way is to find someone else who can send you into a good experience. :D
 
They don't deserve to be hit, they need cutting into little pieces with a chainsaw! =D

Honestly though, just get away from them. If they follow you to continue the headfuck, then eject them through the door (with maximum prejudice!) of it's your place
 
"There's always something to learn from each trip, "good" or "bad"... "

^^agreed
 
Thanks for all the responses everyone, I think I'm over it for the most part.. still feel a little disconnected from my friends like I haven't seen them in ages, but I'm capable of socializing again.

I won't retaliate against my brother. Lost a lot of respect for him, but I don't think he knew better, so I'll get over that.

I guess I did the right thing by seeking out someone to talk to who wasn't tripping. It would have been nice if I could have reversed the anxiety, but it's like everything he did made me feel like his prisoner.. wouldn't let me go for a walk, wouldn't let me call anyone, and he kept asking me shit like "did you think it would be fun? 3 hits?? that's way too much" etc, none of it was helping. But I survived and I don't think psychedelics are ruined for me from it, so all in all this was still a good experience. I've learned a lot about myself.

Again thanks for all the input.

eh that's still interesting though heh, what to do if you're sending someone into a bad trip :) because my brother did try to rectify the situation but I was already so paranoid at that point that I wouldn't let him
 
Heh, interesting topic.

When me and my mates are together on acid we actually try and freak each other out, like the OP's brother did to him, as a joke between mates. Stuff like "look out for that snowman" ect but also much more subtle stuff which i think is more frightening. We always manage not to push it too far, but reading over this thread makes me wonder; Maybe what we're doing to each other is kinda risky. We usually only do small doses though, 2 tabs max.
 
^ yeah, we used to do that stuff to, until a couple of our friends seriously freaked out... One became a muslim, the other a christian...
 
i think that your mistake was to start with 3 tabs. Start low and work up. Im real sorry to hear about all of that amigo, better luck next time. somthing that i have learned is to never trip around people who are drinking unless i am drinking too. They are completly opposing ends of the consiousness spectrum, if you have forgotten how to relate with sober reality then drunken reality is just that much farther out of your reach. once again, best of luck : )


oh, and also, one more afterthought. Now that you are back on planet earth consider the situation from his point of view. Family is family you know; if you cant forgive him that is just baggage that could potentially haunt you in a future trip. ok, thats all
 
About all of the violence and "deserving to be hit", "beat the shit out of the person", etc...

Don't do it. Just don't. It's seriously NOT worth it.

I was speaking with an old friend from back home last week, and asked how the crew has been doing and whatnot. I was then told how one of our friends was tripping on L and went to go pick something up from a guy. Long story short, the guy fucked him over, and he went back with a hammer with intentions to beat the shit out of the guy.

He ended up beating the guy to death with the hammer, and is now locked up and will be for the rest of his life. I know I'll catch a lot of shit like "oh man, you're bullshitting, etc", but this is truth.

Violence and hallucinogens don't mix.
 
^lol

To answer the OP's question: sometimes there's nothing you can do.

The only time I've been fucked with while tripping was one night, me and a friend were on 2C-I (not sure how much...) and laughing hysterically to the point of tears at some movie....then all the sudden this dumbass friend of hers who knew we were tripping that night....started banging on the walls and windows of the room we were in, from outside....I HATE people who knock on your door like they're the fucking police!! And that's what it sounded like...

He then got into the house and ran back to the room we were in and exclaims "DAMN! Ya'll look FUCKED up!"

I had already transfered to a state of sheer terror, curled up in a ball under a blanket with my sunglasses on.

BASTARD.

He left soonafter, but the trip went downhill from there.
 
Whatever you do, don't hit them. Although not common, drug-induced psychosis is certainly not unheard of. Especially if you were already feeling "more suicidal than I've ever been in my life, I would have ended the entire world if I had the power, because I didn't know what mattered to me anymore." Any violence at that point is a bad decision.

Besides the obvious question of finding a better set and setting, try talking to your friend who was also tripping. Not about the incident, but about something interesting. When I almost had a bad trip on shrooms, all I had to do to quell the rising anxiousness, fear, and suffocating worries was listen to some music. Eventually, I knew I could keep myself away from that place, even though I still wasn't having a great time. A trip can be turned from the good, but it doesn't have to be bad.

If the person freaking you out is also tripping then yeah I agree they dont deserve any violence, just help, but in the above case where it's just an insensitive fuckwit, I think a good slap isn't that bad a response. People like that deserve a harsh lesson in not fucking up other people
