The set and setting are important things, and can go a long way to ensuring a good trip, but, I aint ever really seen the tim leary side of things, and side more with Kesey that crazy acid head, he sed bad trips don't exist, whatever set or setting ure in you can overpower, (unless you're actually coming in to physical harm, but thats a lil more than jus a bad trip, this is sumthin thats worth worry), the difference between the good trip and the bad trip is acceptance, what was it that turned ure thoughts negative? when you really break down what u were terrified of, was it really that big of a deal? I've been in sum tough situations tripping balls, pouring sweat, hot and cold flushes, puking my guts out, pounding heart ringin in my ears while I feel like I'm falling through a million stories, as I wrestle with the thought of reality, and yeh at the time, you want em to stop and go away, until u realise that nothings really happening. The only thing that can turn u on a bad trip is if you come to a realisation that you didn't want to, one thats true (as true as you can justify), but you really didn't want to believe, but then this isn't the drug, but just the thoughts that are rattling around in ure brain, and u'll wrestle and wrestle with this, which is just hard work cuz words loose a lot of meaning, this will cause you to grow anxious and feel like ure fightin an uphill battle, but as soon as you let completely go, stop trying to justify the pictures in ure head with labels, just really experience them as if this were your last moment, the intense calm and understanding really sinks in, u feel as though your brain is just rising and fallin on convection currents, u no longer think in words, they've lost meaning and your thoughts flow. The amazing experiences can be achieved, by completely submissing, accept ure complete confusion of that which oscillates around you, and make ure hay while the sun shines, realize that its goin to end, and realize that you're going to die one day, ending ure experience in this medium itself, the euphoria felt from psychedelics is different from other drugs, they are usually coupled with revelations, reasons to feel so fuckin ecstatically happy, but as viewpoints differ constantly, you may have a revelation that isn't so euphoric and happy, as more heart wrenchingly fearful, not everyone wants to think so deeply about life and death, they think it ends at fashion magazines and award ceremonies, to have there head blown apart to the very idea of the animate nature of all things around you, and there interconnectivity can provoke sum quite intriguing thoughts. They're not for recreation, an intense trip is like climbing a fuckin mountain, u'll be pushed to the absolute edge of what you believe you can take, and once you've gone past that point and 'come down' and everythings stopped tryin to melt in to eachother, u feel the same level of accomplishment, as sitting on top of the world. Then you smoke a nice spliff and revel in the waning effects, it really don't get no better than that. Also being surround by nature pretty much ensures a good trip, the sounds of nature, the colours and the wide open spaces all contribute for a very trippy time
