earlier in the summer i had a very horrific acid trip. took some blotters (5 to be exact) at a festival after my friend told me he figured they were 50mcg a piece from his personal experience with them... no they were more like 100 mcg a piece, very strong, it would have been good acid if i hadnt taken too much. the entire trip was death, being separated from everything, a complete infinity of alone stuck in the loops. majority of the details are a blur but i did wind up taken to the hospital in a straight jacket. i was really having issues weeks after with reoccurring nightmares of the experience and usual ptsd symptoms. i was starting to relapse here and there on opiates and i could tell i wasnt coping well from the trip. i did pharamausca with two friends and that miraculously helped with the ptsd and i was able to face the trip and understand it and more importantly move on, and i havent used opiates in months now, but i dont think i can ever take lsd again. EVER! the feeling will forever be associated with that bad trip. my opinion of psychedelics in general is more natural sided now after the experience after seeing the power of dmt and harmaline together and trying extracted mescaline on another occasion. but am i wrong? are there ways to return to lsd after these life changing BAD trips? or am i right to assume that it is a really sinister substance with a dark side?
 
Sorry to hear this...
Really now; the drug is not evil at all....
Set and Setting is most important.....Knowing your dose is also very important.
Which is why these psychedelics’, should be regulated, so you know exactly what you are consuming..... Instead of wondering if it is real or not. Not knowing can bring on anxiety or unwanted thoughts etc... Bad Set & Setting!

Evil is a state of mind, YOU create from your life situation, what you chose to believe becomes reality for you.... Not everyone understands this, some will eventually understand but most don’t. It really starts from how you where brought up, what religion/s you where forced to believe in etc....

And yes if you create a comfortable Set & Setting for your self you can trip again. Most impotent; that so called “bad trip” can be used as a learning tool for you….

you'd be right to consider that you, not the lsd, have a dark side
many people have great experiences with it
obviously, it doesn't have a dark side for them

is more natural sided

no connection
except if someone comes up with an explanation of why "natural" atoms and synthesized ones would be different, dmt is dmt is dmt


PLEASE PEOPLE
if there is no health risk, when you freak out, just wait patiently
every trip comes to an end after a few hours
they're going to last long, but it's better to endure than spoil it for everyone by giving psychedelics a bad name
thanks :)
 
Mental anxiety after such an intense experience will probably mean any trips in the near future will cause the worst of that trip to resurface. Are you ruined for ever? No one can say for sure. From a personal perspective I would say given it is only a few months after such a breakdown you are better off keeping your brain healthy and not risk it. I would suggest avoiding lsd for at least a year and if you ever wished to try it again then keep the doses low/minimal threshold and slowly dip you toes. You may even find smoking weed or even otherwise "safe" psychedelic experiences will create too much anxiety that it becomes too much of a chore.

Lesson learned the hard way I guess.
 
No need to try it again so soon. It sounds like you were just hit with more intensity then you expected. If you do decide to try LSD again in a better setting you'll be fine. Any psychedelic can give you a whooping like that.
 
i took a whopping dose of 4-aco-dmt about 18 months ago and didnt trip for 3 months after that. ive only just started having really good trips again within the past 3 months. every other trip was me thinking about that one trip, then i finally said fuck it, i wanna have a good trip. had amazing trips ever since, ive even been able to trip in NYC without having a mini panic attack, which is something ive never felt comfortable with before. its all in your head
 
...I also made the experience that LSD can conjure the devil inside you. like no other compound I've known (as in "a really sinister substance with a dark side")...
not just a "bad" or "confusing" or even "traumatic" experience but actual "hell", the sum of all your fears for eternity. I didn't touch LSD since an experience like that (I was lucky enough to stay straight to some extend and stop the trip by letting me give an antipsychotic before actually breaking apart into imminent psychosis) and probably won't (maybe low dose). but I never really felt comfortable with acid - it always felt alien, providing an alien energy I never knew what to do with. taking more to finally "get it" didn't help much... ;)

there are other beautiful compounds besides LSD. I've made good experiences with 6-apb to finally overcome the subtle but undeniable turmoil and anxiety that this one traumatic experience with acid left me with for nearly one year...

and btw: time will heal this.
