Back in the day, when I was a young turkey acid gobbler, we didn't take this and that tranguilizer or what have you to avoid a bad trips. But lately I always read, "Before tripping, I took methadone." Or "I took Xanax." "I took phenabut." "I took diazepam." Nonesense. You don't need it. Having a bad trip, if its not the kind that puts you in the madhouse, which it won't if you don't take more than about 2 grams, unless you are tragically and unusually sensitive, will just make you a more beautiful person, you'll be that much more knowledgeable, understanding, strong and kind towards all who are having bad trips whether drug induced or just from real life. Mushrooms can be the school of shroomy knocks, not so bad as hard knocks, but maybe different. Well, maybe you could give a toss just would rather not suffer personally. Fair enough. No problem. We are not all Jesuses and Mary martyrs and mother father healers. So, mushroom rules are simple but not guraenteed, just take them when you're sure you have a good basic headspace, not worried about too much crap in the immeduate future coming down and gather people and things and music and circumstances to help create good circumstances and feelings, whatever it is that you think will send you off well and it likely will, but again these things are not essentail, really its down to you in the end, if you are not confident and also feeling down, sketched out by poeple or circumstances, or other strange weirdnesses and can't really overcome those things with any kind of confidence, no big deal, then be patient and wait it all out till the clouds clear and eat your shrooms when things feel better. Or if you must, take them anyway and accept whatever unpleasantness may or may not come, a bad trip It really is training for real life, it all applies if you want things to go well in life or if you aren't really bothered too. Trust your feeling about things as to whether to trip or not as opposed to your charming friends and their schedules and agendas, tell them to chill, now its different, tripping is certainly not trivial, it can be pivotal for our entire lives. Patience solves everything, especially if you happen to enter a harrowing headspace, psychedelics teach us a kind of patience that rewards in bliss, blessings and ultimately unfathomable knowledge. You're having a bad time when you're coming up...WAIT...it will shift sooner than you think and you might soon be in some incredible headspace, utterly redeemed, purified, seemingly deathless even, transformed and sanctified! We can be our own worst enemies with psychedlics as well as in life, we ruin things for ourselves by freaking out, so you do your best to keep your mentality up. Sometimes when I'm not sure of myself, I make notes and put them in my shirt pocket or better yet put them out on my desk or other places where I'll see them when tripping like on my desk things that say things about whatever I think I might forget if I have a rough trip. And if things get rough you will forget. So, keep your notes right there, and I keep notes with things written out large and clear like: "Wait till you've stopped tripping before you ask any mortal and flawed human or otherwise to help you." Or "The feeling of being stuck in time is illusory, it will pass! Really! As contradictory and paradoxical as it sounds: It will be over depsite being eternal! I promise and I love you or i wouldn't bother would I, if it weren't true! -Love, Me, Myself to enigmatic I! " Others who aren't tripping will almost never understand what you are going through and will likely do you more harm in their efforts to extricate you and your weird situation from theirs. Thats just what I have learned from being so stupid as a kid tripping on drugs to tell parents, really smart together friends who don't ever trip or doctors. No, psychedelics teach you that you are the wisest when it comes to you, others don't really understand or frankly care particularly if you are so "idiotic" as to trip on drugs. Just be fearless and patient and never forget whatever unpleasantness you are going through will very soon be finished, its that simple and with patience, 99% of your problems are solved with mushrooms and other psychedelics, it just has to be waited out and then it will all be fine! . And that goes for everything in our lives, we can ride whatever is going on, there really is never any need to complicate things by pushing or hurrying or involving others who want to help or gettting into our insane interventions etc. and when it comes to the essentials, we are born alone and we die alone and we trip alone too.
. I didnt need a trip sitter. Never had one. I suggest you have your boyfriend be clean while you be high then you watch him when your clean. I know someone who jumped off a bridge that was over a road when they were tripping on shrooms. Never saw the injury but my sister did.
