[orangeman]

Well I was thinking about trying some shrooms and I wanted to know, is there any possible way that when I'm far past gone having a panic attack is there any way I could bring my self to accept whats going on and have a good trip again? I really wanna know because I wouldnt want to have a bad trip on the first time and think I was going to die lol.

Ok, check it out. Hallucinations are just thoughts and images from your subconcious being transmitted to your visual spectrum. The bottom line is that, when you are fully comfterble with the prospect of taking a a substance, you are ready. Until then... there is and always will be the chance of an overwhelming trip. But remember: It's only overwhelming if you let it be.

But I have anxiety problems and when I took high dosages of weed I thought I was gonna die man I was trippin hard, so I wanted to know if I couldnt handle weed how am I suppose to handle shrooms? I really need help because I want to try them bad.

hmmm thats interesting most people would probably say you're right, if you can't handle weed then you'll never be able to handle tripping. But I'm not sure that's necessarily true. I haven't done shrooms, but I have found acid and mescaline to cause much less PARANOIA than pot, despite being much more intense. You may be experiencing things like you never imagined, but you'll be on top of the world and you won't care about shit, you'll feel like you SHOULD be freaked out but you'll just feel calm in the center of everything.

At least it's a possibility, of course bad trips happen but I just wanted to get the other side out there. Strangely enough I have come closer to having a 'bad trip' on pot than on any other (stronger) psychedelic.

I've learned that if you don't think negative thoughts and not try to prevent a bad trip 9 out of 10 times you won't have a bad trip and i you do to accept it and ride it out cuz if you fight it just gets worse. That's just me and every one is a little different.

Well it's almost like my brain has a brain of it's own and that brain is evil lol. I heard about that "not thinking bad thoughts" and I tried that and it doesnt work for me...I mean do you suggest I try some shitty shrooms first and progress by potency? I dont think that I should try some very potent shrooms for my first try.

Yeah, get acclimated to the phsyical high first. Shrooms are kindof intense. But not too intense, of course, or they wouldn't be as popular as they are. Everyone reacts differently to everything. Try a gram and work your way up over time.

yea man iv done em once and had the worst trip imaginable but i ate 3.5 grams of really potent stuff but the high is pretty amazing ... i would try maybe a gram or so with like 2 close friends in a good enviornment with sum good music goin!! and if u do have a bad trip then youl get over it and prob try em again in like a week lol .... peace bro and let us know how they go if u decide to do em....

IMO, most (not all, but most) bad trips can be completely negated by excercising a little foresight. If it's your first time and you don't know what to expect than make some plans to make sure everything is taken care of. Have some friends tripping with you or even a sitter, have food if you want it, create a welcoming space where you won't have to worry about cops or weirding out the neighbors. Plan to have some music, or some art supplies like pens or clay. Make sure you have some options of things to do or look at so you don't end up bored. Maybe take a walk somewhere peaceful, and make sure you don't have to drive anywhere.

Take the phone off the hook and commit to your trip.

Maybe eventually you won't need to take all the precautions to trip, since this is your first, just don't have any unfinished business (homework, bills, bad relationship) that could come to mind and trip you out in a negative way.

Listen to your favorite music, go through some personal affirmations and make sure to enjoy the journey.

So after I'm used to shrooms and know what to expect..do you guys think I could take them when I'm not so happy but still might have a pretty good trip?
