Has anyone ever had a bad trip because of the people that you tripped with?

[missmegandelaney]

I love acid. You could call it my DOC. But i've stayed away from it because everyone that i've tripped with in the past has really ruined my trip.

One experince when I was 15 really messed with me. I was with my group of friends at the time, who all were just stoned and rolling. I was the only one who was dancing with miss lucy. Me, being the idiot fifteen year old I was thought that taking 4 tabs of some really good looney toon acid was a wonderful idea. Wrong. When I started tripping, reallllly hard, they decide to tell me that my life is actually a lie and that I was an experiment made by the government. My real name was "project eighteen". I started saying "stop it" so they'd shut up but eventually I just left everyone and wondered into the living room. I was exploring this new world I had found when I managed to bring myself out of the bad trip I was starting to have . I was looking all around. Exploring every corner of this loft... & My "friends" were laughing and making fun of me the whole time calling me an it. What a shame, could have been a wonderful experince.

There was this other time after that, where these same friends and I decided to drop acid (they promised me they wouldn't pull what they did last trip). There were two newbies in the group. One of them insisted on taking two tabs his first time which I warned him not to do, because that acid (i had it before) was really strong. It wasn't too soon after one of my friends was screaming on the ground (the one who had taken two), he thought he was in hell. He wanted to cuddle with his girlfriend but she wanted no part of him (she was a newbie) and told my other friend who was scared shitless to fuck off and die :/ this turned the house into chaos. I couldn't enjoy my own trip, too busy babysitting everyone else.

I don't talk to those "friends" anymore.

I wanna hear your stories,

I took 3 red microdots not so long ago with a mate, now this guy I love and trust 100% however... It started with some INTENSE tripping. Could hardly see what I was doing, with spine like waves of euphoria rushing out of me and every sound made echoing (was wearing chelsea boots - Fun ensued). We were looking at each other and I suggested we go see the sun set. Off we went and all of a sudden i turned to him thinking he was pissed off with me. So i asked he said no of course not and it was fine. Untill i asked him again. Same feeling, same place?? < I think. He asked for a lighter i handed it to him and again I asked. Then we realised we had done this a couple of times. "I think we are stuck in loops" "nah man"... "you got a lighter?" "I think we are stuck in loops". Now this wasn't a problem untill we tried to roll a joint. Everything suddenly revolved around us. The entire world and solar system. The loops got worse and worse and everytime I had a loop where i could use some of my common sense it would change the subject.. Almost. We decided this is going to be the longest 12 hours of our entire life! Then he said "We are gonna have to kill each other" 1 hour later we are on the floor begging another friend to save us and look after us cos we were gonna kill each other. The police almost got called because we were so convinced that the trip will have to end in one or both of us dieing. It was fucking terrifying. 4-5 hours of this shit later we camedown a bit and all was bless. But honestly next time I try a stupid dose of LSD I'll know what to expect and avoidddddddd itttttttt!! If it weren't for my mate saying we are gonna have to kill each other I reckon it could have been an amazing trip!

 

[missmegandelaney]

That's some pretty crazy shit! I'm glad you came down from that trip without a murder charge or a coffin. All it takes is one thought.

 

[PandaGun]

Yeah it was shocking to be stuck in loops like that and be so open to suggestion! I'm so flipping glad I didn't call the police. Ha! Also on another note, frustration is being stuck in a loop and watching yourself lose your kingskins, grinder, weed, bacci etc and be so helpless at how fucking stupid you are being!

 

[missmegandelaney]

I think acid is one of those drugs thats all about mind control. I'm one of those people that make sure i'm in control of everything and where my trips going ect. But there is a biiiiggg downfall to that... I wonder what I would learn if I just let go.

 

[velmwend]

Yep. Back in the early 90's we used to drop acid and spend all night roaming woodland, canals and country lanes. Anyway, one night me and a friend broke from our small gang and we found ourselves walking across a mist-laden field. I remarked that it reminded me of an eerie moors scene from a movie, at which point my friend told me that he was a moors murderer and had brought me to the field to bury me alive. Anyhow, I ran off and eventually found my gang again after roaming the canals in fits of paranoia and seeing all sorts of crap coming outta the shadows for me. Really don't need that shit, lol. I wouldn't say it was a bad trip though - I never had a bad trip, but I decided that all future trips would be taken alone and I still live with the same mentality today

These posts are exactly why there is only one person I'll ever trip with, every other trip is a solo experience.

The second time I ever tripped on mushies and the first time my friend had taken them. After he peaked he started seeing spiders and buggin which naturally made freak the fuck out. I quickly averted the disaster by bring up hilarious embarrassing stories about myself.

The only other time I had what you would call a bad trip was when I was on 600mg of dxm and he was on 300mg. For him DXM had a strong stimulant effect on him. He started getting nervous and when he would talk he would raise his head up say one word and lay back down and repeat after every other word. I was moreso just annoyed however.

Another time I and the friend who I did the shrooms with took dxm together I was on a third plat and he had 480 mg first time. We had smoked a couple bolws both tripping very hard and I imagined flying to my buddies house with a shovel and splitting his head open. Just a crazy /dis/ thought I knew better and I thought it was fucking hilarious so I just said outloud in that serious dxm voice. "Wouldn't it be really pretty if I stabbed jon in the head with a shovel". Needless to say he didn't think it was as funny as I did and promptly robo power walked out of the room until he forgot about it.

Yep, drunk people. Never around lots of drunk people.
My one horrific night on acid, started at a party around lots of people drinking lots of alcohol. After what shaped up to be the worst possible night to drop acid, a bunch of drunk dudes putting their hand all over, or in my mind thousands of arms of the living dead trying to drag me down, my mind snapped.

Never solo tripped at a house party again. Hell noo.

 

[muvolution]

Alot of times at doofs/ camping raves you will meet some fuckin weirdos, so I just do what I have always done and just fuckin walk off in the middle of them talking. I don't need that shit to bring me down, and I wouldn't tolerate it if I was sober either.

I have had some terrible shared hallucinations when smoking weed with inexperienced or sketchy people.

Oh shit, I can certainly relate to those situations. Especially if you're tripping so hard that you can't form sentences or understand them, communication seems out of reach and it causes my mind to race and the panic comes on. High dose, potent shrooms tend to cause this. It's a complete disaster if strangers are trying to talk to you lol, their faces tend to morph or their heads/eyes look double in a stacked manner.

All it takes is one person to give off a weird or strange vibe and a trip can go to shit. I prefer to trip with close friends that are expirienced with psychs or solo.

 

[atara]

I'm just going to give an unqualified "yes". I might come back and tell a story later.

 

[immheerallnitee]

i've had a similar experience while on mushrooms, with the loops, we called them circles.

Amen to that man. Luckily I wasn't soloing, but me and my mate were coming up too fast to realize we should've left long before we did. The sounds of a drunk house are so fucking incredibly disgusting!! Once we finally left though, the tinge attached to the come up (I didn't start peaking until a friend played a didj a few feet away from me, was pretty cool) followed me and my mate back to my place where it spilled into our shared trip and caused a looooooong loopy and intense night, but as usual was worth it.

My first Lucy trip was horrible too, but for such a small reason. There 4 of us and we had all been good buddies for a really long time. One guy took 8 hits with a really high tolerance as he just got back from a music festival but the other 2 only took one hit. I took 2 and it was my first lucy trip (I had tripped a few 2c's before, so I wasn't completely inexperienced.)

Anyways, the guy that brought the acid was probably one of my closest and best friends and we hadn't really been getting along as well as we had in the past, probably due to numerous successive rolls from the past week. Anyways he was trying to ask whether I could take our other friend home the next day. This was when light started to shift heavily and the "wueaoeuaoueaoeuaoeeaoeuh" sound began kicking in. They were all looking at me really weird and one of them asked if I was okay while the other replied for me that I was just tripping. But when I was coherent enough to understand what was going on in objectivity, I had learned that the dude I wasn't getting along with said that he had to get home because his dad knew he had taken a psychedelic and demanded that he get home. I thought the story was bullshit and he was leaving to get back at me for leaving his house with everyone because he had to sleep and get up early. Anyways he leaves, and I'm still overwhelmingly tripping. It's good and there was a thunderstorm that I participated in that was incredible. However, I couldn't keep my friend that left completely out of my mind. It was like I was trying to figure out what he was actually doing, if he was still tripping or not, etc... Anyways it completely threw me off, didn't sleep, drove my other friend home the next morning, could barely pay attention enough to get back and decided it would be just wonderful to down half a bottle of nyquil to get to sleep and forget all of the nagging negativities floating around from the night before.

I didn't sleep. I tripped hard for 3 days.


I didn't stop seeing visuals for about a month.

And I'm damn glad it happened 8(

Made a account just to post this. So the first time I did shrooms i did 5 grams yes they were potent I just assumed it was like acid and did a bunch knowing that i had the mental ability to piece myself back together.
My friend took 2.5 grams. 2 hours in everything's fine were sitting in my car behind his apartment smoking cigarette after cigarette laughing our asses off as usual when it all starts the doomed levels kicked in his level began to escalate towards paranoia while mine was still fine although at this point i had a concern that if i didn't stop his paranoia which btw was caused by a large amount of cars driving on a dead end road.

After frantically trying to explain my theory of bad trips to him it was lost he ignored my advice and let the paranoia circle him causing a bad trip. at this point i was to the point of ineffability the climbing hallucinations were some of the more vivid Ive experienced but nothing i wouldn't have been able to handle with either a sitter or just by myself. But his bad trip began leaching onto me because he kept repeating the plagued words of tripping about how if its never going to end and how hes gonna die and how he just wants it to stop. (Weak mind)

Regardless his constant banter began to ruin my trip and tip me towards bad trip. At this point we had moved back into his apartment and began watching tv to pass the time and hopefully take his and my mind off the bad trip that had been evoked. 4 hours from the start hes laying in his bed praying against his wall that if there is a god to make it stop. all this he told me the next day mind you hes not a religious person. 5 hours later the silence has remained and the rest of the trip for me was carried out in analyzing social interactions and how they work in a hope that the i could regain the ability to communicate the words that i was thinking in a way that would be understood.

He must have fallen asleep because my last memory's was him reawakening and saying how he wasn't tripping anymore and me lieing and saying i wasn't because i didn't feel like dealing with the consequences of him possibility realizing the trip wasn't over or something.

Edit: after posting i read a few other posts the circles or loops as you guys call them are something very interesting to explore. This will sound like lies to anyone who hasn't experimented but its better than way. Regardless me and 2 friends learned a way to inject ideas into peoples heads that was so ridiculous. To elaborate a little we used confusion as a means of drawing conclusions to create a circle within our own dialog that kept repeating until me and my other friend realized we could manipulate it then we showed our other friend who i don't think truly understood but he caught on to the pattern at least and did manipulated it i just dont think he seen the power in it.

^^ Holy shit dude, the day after I drank a half bottle of nyquil coming off an acid trip, I walked all freaking day in 100+ degree weather trying to confuse randos to give me their shit (namely a 40-yr old woman, who I tried to convince that her jeep was mine) and going to walmart to steal shit, and going to the library and counting all the numbers of words in paragraphs of some bullshit business advice paragraph. That state of mind came on the first night when I dosed and was looking at the back of a dollar bill.

And yeah, loops are insane. One time after peaking on 2c-e I had to drive 40 miles south to get home (or thought I had to) but I saw the same street sign over and over again for what I thought was like 10 minutes, and this mcdonalds that I always used to recognize what cross street I was passing kept randomly popping in and out. I think it had to do with the initial fear response to the thought, "Ok, don't fuck up," which escalated my trip again to a level of "insanity" which I would relate to..."Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result." 8(. But once I got on the highway, flow came much easier and Tim Leary paid me a floating head visit from Infinite Intelligence. %)

My only experience where I can safely say I was in hell happened because of who I was tripping with.

It was just me and my friend. We've tripped before but never just the two of us, we would always be with about 5 other people. But we know each other fairly well, not bff's or anything 8) Anywho, we were doing some 4-aco-dmt and we've both tripped on it before at around 20-25mg. This time I was feeling cocky and figured doing 40-50mg each would be a good idea.

Turned out not so good. After about 90 minutes in and a lot of weed I just really did not feel like being with my friend. We had nothing in particular planned for this trip which was also a bad idea. We just dosed at a local park by the water and thought we'd walk around. I did not feel like listening to his bullshit either. Seemed like whatever things or ideas popped into his mind he would try to explain to me, when really I had waaay more interesting things going on in my own head.

I mostly just hung in there telling myself sooner or later I would come down. I sorta ditched him towards to tail end of the trip, but it had to be done. I remember telling him "yeah dude i'm way too fucked up to talk right now" many many times I knew the entire trip that he was the source of my bummer.

I was fine afterwards. Learned my lesson never to get cocky with psychedelics. Plan everything out.

 

[MonKeYDNA]

^^ Shit man, I'm sure that was his intention the entire time.

I understand though, it's easy to forget that conversation works best when it's an actual trade-off

 

[Splitz]

See, I've never had a bad trip as such from being in a drunken house party, perhaps I could if they were full of arseholes, but I remember dropping acid at a house party of drinkers before (where everyone was lovely). When I found it impossible to communicate with any of the drunkards I just went 'ah fuck it' and spent the rest of the night with the 3 other trippers. I can see how being the only tripper would be an issue, but then I wouldn't want to be around anybody if I was tripping solo anyway.

These days I only trip with my group of friends who are all trippers, and I know none of them would ruin a trip. Even before that, when I'd trip with inexperienced folks and chaos ensues with everyone panicking and ruining each other's mindset, I tend to be the one still having a whale of a time. I could safely say nobody has ruined a trip for me. However I know it could happen, so I make a point of surrounding myself with people I feel comfortable with completely
