Yeah he did that "public death" thing didn't he. I remember watching something about it. He was tore up and had a case of whippets on his nightstand. I was impressed by his attitude about the whole thing

Man, I can't disagree more with drugs that pull you out of a LSD trip. I think that would be more maddening than actually pushing forward through the Minus trip.

I think it was Tim Leary that said 'If I am having a bad trip on LSD, I take more LSD.'

I think this topic ought to be discussed in further detail. Has anyone on RIU actually used a LSD counteracting drug? What happened? How did you feel later that day and into the next? What does it do to your heart?

I submit that it is dangerous to your psychology , but WTF do I know? I can't even spell psychology .

There is no denying that there is much to be learned on LSD, even during a bad or troubled trip. Nothing a little help from friends or good music can't solve.
I would have done ANYTHING to get out from under my second bad trip although I do know that a hefty dose of LSD will burn off a 10 mg valium in about an hour and I doubt it would have helped me in my situation but I can't see winging it after knowing what LSD can do to you.

My one 'bad' trip involved me walking down to the crackhead down the street at 6a.m. trying to get him to talk to me because I was wiggin out..lol...fun times...

When ever I venture into this section of the site for some odd reason it makes me want to eat L almost instantly. After 25 years of steady L usage I've got some pretty interesting stories. Believe me they fall under the good, the bad, the ugly but everyone has taught me something about myself. I've noticed with me the times where some people call "bad trips" are the times where the L just made me search thru my own inner demons. I've never bailed on one of these tripps and everyone has ended up with some epic experience that I know I'd regret If I took the easy way out.

I prefer the term difficult experience. I think it's much more descriptive because "bad" trips can often be incredibly useful.

You've read my story, there was nothing useful in my last experience. Except learning to listen to myself. Spinning from one emotion to the next over the course of 5 hours is at best counterproductive.

The spinning thru the different emotions was kinda what I met by facing my inner demons. I've been there a couple of times. As recently as a couple of years ago I was getting grams on a regular basis and love doing thumbprints. The last couple of months before I got busted(coke)anytime I went over a 10 strip I'd get paranoid like I have never before. Once to the point of throwing a bunch of blow in the woods and curling up in my tent for awhile. Most people would call that a bad trip an very counterproductive. Was it or was the L really trying to help me back off before I went to prison. IMO I should have listened to the paranoia and remained free instead of writing it off. It just seems to me that anytime I've been with anybody else in one of these "bad trips" it normally is based on emotions spiraling out of control in one way or another. So IMO if you embrace it and kinda relive it after words you might be able to find out what you were really trying to tell yourself. After all, all real L does is let more into our brains.

It would never be possible. Imagine closed eye patterns, now imagine those patterns were emotions, changing from one to another at rapid pace from elation to dispare, fear, rage, joy, loneliness, horror, revulsion, euphoria every emotion you can imagine all happening within a span of a few minutes - it was quite disturbing and nothing I could "go with" because the acid seemed to get underneath something - into my emotional centers, it wasn't my head saying "oh, you should be frightened" and then I was, it was operating in a completely different mode and all of the primary acid experiences were dwarfed by these emotional colidescopes

Believe me.... there are bad trips and there are BAD trips. Those are the ones you find impossible to surrender to.
Oh I know man, I was fucking around. I spun off into hell for 3 days on a BAD trip. Only about 500ug of ACID or 5 hits to 6 hits kept me up for 3 days. I thought .... well what I thought does not matter, I was fucked up bad and really paranoid. NO other drugs but acid and marijuana used in that span.

My best friend took the same amount of acid and we both began feeding each others bad trip. I think mine lasted a lot longer and I took the ball and ran with it... but he certainly did not help me come out of hell. I would rap about some paranoid thought I was having and he would be like Ya Ya, I know man your right. Pretty soon the whole fucking world was turned upside down with nonsense paranoia and that colidascope of emotion you mentioned. euphoria, despair, anger, happy... MIND FUCKED.

But, I realized later in life that trip really helped me deal with some fucked up religious beliefs put into me when I was young. I was hammered with religion and forced to go to church until high school. I dropped LSD for a while after High School and had nothing but good trips... until that bad one .

Yeah all I can really say of the experience I had my freshman fall at Furthur was that the lesson was not to let hippies dose you with liquid in the parking lot before checking to see if they have irises. Half a sweet breath bottle later (he said I was spilling it and just sprayed a long blast, I kissed my friend like 30 seconds later and she tripped balls from that. In a different setting it probably would have been an amazing experience, but I was in an unfamiliar setting and on a very large dose. Instead I wandered around an unfamiliar city tripping my nuts off and probably committed at least one act of breaking and entering based on what I can remember.
 
All you need is good people to be with, good weed to smoke along with it and some amazing music to listen to because believe me, the music you listen to on acid will stay with you forever:leaf:

My advice would be don't do it. That's a personal thing for me but in all seriousness if you are going to do it make sure you're with people you trust (l;ike your sis). Things can get a bit freaky!
