Re: anyone prefer bad trips?

if someone enjoys what others might consider a "bad" trip, then to that person it is a "good" trip. some people are crazy enough to enjoy seeing demonic faces in the mirror but can't handle dark memories/real life events coming to life..but the latter can definitely be appreciated.

SWIM had a nervous breakdown the last time she did shrooms (almost 2 years ago) and while it sucked..it was a wake up call to some personal issues in her life. hard to say whether SWIM would prefer this type of bad trip..sometimes she is open to the idea, though, because she knows she has demons she needs to face sooner or later.

good thread..i'm interested to see what everyone else has to say about this.

Re: anyone prefer bad trips?

If you enjoy/prefer the trip it isn't really a bad one, by definition. What makes a "bad trip" is entirely subjective and personal, and if you considered it a valuable/enjoyable experience it wasn't a bad trip. In other words: no.

SWIM used to enjoy darker trips, but really bad ones are ones in which you face personal demons and can't cope with at the time are not much fun.

So again: no.

Re: anyone prefer bad trips?

Swim had 2 hits of liquid acid and wound up remembering past traumas that really messed with her head, but as the trip progressed she wound up working through negative thoughts and bad memories and became stronger and happier because of it. swims worst trip wound up being one of her best just by hanging out with a tree.

Well, educational 'good' trips aren't usually fun or happy.

Anyone else despise the terms 'good trip' and 'bad trip'?

Re: anyone prefer bad trips?

Swim finds that bad trips have stronger visuals and the hallucinatory value is a lot stronger, since crap tends to come up out of nowhere...but Swim couldn't handle a bad trip that is mostly mental.

Re: anyone prefer bad trips?

Budgies only had a few 'bad' trips, mostly on Mushrooms, and his last one didnt teach him nothing because he was too scared shitless. That was because of bad setting and being a impulsive trip though.

Generally, Budgie thinks that 'bad' trips are the ones that you learn most from though. It depends how strong a dose he's done, whether he enjoys 'bad' trips or not.

The bad and fearful ones makes one think a lot. Swim thinks they do good, because they are the ones that (also) teaches love.

Jeez, what about a bad trip would interest/teach you?
A serious dose of a hallucinogen + a bad trip + lack of hospitalization could lean towards schizophrenia.
How much are you going to learn from that?

Interesting topic, SWIM is curious to see what people have to say about this.

Re: anyone prefer bad trips?

Swim's first bad trip was the one that cured him.

These days, he only gets bad trips when cannabis is somehow involved and there's some other problem - dehydration, overstimulation, etc. He can deal with these if he's tripping "sober", but tripping while high makes it difficult.

Re: anyone prefer bad trips?

Swim has had his fair share of bad trips. But Swim comes out with a brighter sight on life from them.

One of Swim's worst, Was when Swim smoked 2 grams of weed while on Wellbutrin and Dexedrine.

Swim began to get dissy and went to sit down and watch tv. Swim's vision started to get a bit tunneld, and felt very weak. Swim seemed to be tripping in and out of existance for blinks at a time. Swim's heart rate went to a scary speed, and Swim thought he was going to die, Which rose it even more.

Swim then headed to the bathroom to try to clear his head, Swim blinked, And then noticed he was looking up from the floor of his bathroom, with his head 2 inch's from hitting the tub. Swim had realised he blacked out and fell to the ground while blacked out, and started having a panic attack. Swim quickly made some fatty foods to help get it out of his system, and drank lots of liquids and tried to walk around as much as possible.

A few hours later Swim came out of it with a brighter outlook on life.

Yes, and not everyone is aware of a pre-existing mild condition that could be made worse with a bad trip.
