I'm interested in hearing anybody's bad experiences with
any drug, from marijuana to LSD. Be as detailed or as short
as you want.

I've had dreadful panic/paranoid attacks on skunk before
(yes, I know, I must be a super sensitive lightweight) as
have my friends who toked too much too quickly for the first
time (one of them forgot my name, talked gibberish, threw
up, and then fell asleep.) These experiences have put me off
trying anything harder, as skunk is supposed to a weak easy
drug to mellow out with (which has normally happened in my
experiences) but I've seen it turn people very strange and
have experienced bad things with it myself.

Anyway, I'd especially like to hear what sort of
hallucinations have occured while people have tried the more
interesting examples of mind-altering substances.

I've gotten scared pretty bad while being high. Odd
perspectives, and really deep introversion and whatnot.

a few months ago i had a real frightening mushroom trip. it
started with me and 20 (yes 20) of my buddies heading out
the huge big green meadow right outside our dorms and
tripping mushrooms. i hadnt eaten much that day other than
a couple bowls of salad and alot of green tea. i ate a full
eighth and immediately after smoked a fat joint of some
chronic to my dome. after that, most people broke up into
smaller 4 or 5 person groups and went wandering through the
meadow. i was just feeling laying back in the sun, so i
stuck around the original spot while a friend played some
music from his cooler that had speakers in it. he
eventually came to introduce the couple of us there to big
dumb face. as it was playing, he would just say 'big dumb
face' and the three of us would burst into giggle fits. but
he kept on saying big dumb face. eventually, i came to the
conclusion that he was talking to us, but i couldnt
understand what he was sayinng. at this point i sat up and
saw a grasshopper in the grass. then, i looked down at my
legs and they were covered with these grasshoppers. it was
at this time that everyone came back to the original spot
and started smoking bowls. i had completely lost my memory
and was horribly scared. there were all of these people who
i didnt know out in this weird meadow with me, all speaking
an unintelligable language and doing some weird thing with
these pieces of glass. appartently one friend, z, looked at
me during this and asked if i was ok, because i looked
horrible and all i could do was stare back with a look of
terror on my face. a friend matt stood up and asked if
anyone wanted to head back to the dorms. i was through with
the confusion of the meadow, so i followed him. part of the
way there i was able to squeeek out "hhhhhhi mmmmatt, how
you dooooin?" i went back to my room, took all my shit of my
pockets, took off my clothes and layed down to try and go to
sleep (just about the worst thing you can try and do on
mushrooms.) after laying down, i sat back up, put my
clothes..

...back on, put all my shit back in my pockets. i then took
it all out again, and this repeated for about an hour or so.
once i finally snapped out of this, i just watched family
guy, and was convinced my parents (who are on the other side
of the us) would come into my room and find me trippin balls
on mushrooms. through all sorts of other paranoid thoughts
i eventually fell asleep after i dont know how many hours of
this horror.

I did a shit load of shrooms when i was 16 and ended up
losing my car, getting mugged, and ended upwalking home
(5mile) to my parents house. You should have seen the look
on my parents faces when they saw me tripping balls with
only my pants and one sock to my name. Not a fun time, but i
atleast found my care 3 hours later. All i can say is dont
take a jar full of mushrooms a t one time. Other than that i
had a good time.
Now will someone emial me Analord 1&2? please

the most frightning experience of my life was a bad LSD
trip.

i've written about it here before but here it is again. I
dropped a lot of acid one night with my friends, 4 or 5
hits. and while we were really peaking, we smoked a lot of
weed. too much weed. we were sitting around, watching "the
gift" by Perry Ferrel and i started to realize that i
couldn't understand anything anybody was saying. I could
understand individual words, but i couldn't make sense of
the context of full sentences. I started hallucinating very
intensly. My hallucinations were so vivid, that i could no
longer tell whether or not my eyes were open. I would close
my eyes and still see the room. then i would open my eyes,
see the room, then open my eyes again, on and on.

eventually i had to keep one hand on my eyes to make sure
they were open. Then, i couldn't tell if i was thinking or
actually talking. so i had my other hand on my mouth to
make sure my lips were moving when i talked.

things started getting crazier and crazier so i decided to
go upstairs and lay down for a while in my friend's parents'
room.

as i lay on the bed, i began hallucinating more intensly.
In my head, i would get up, walk downstairs and fall into
the basement. then i would open my eyes and i was still up
stairs. So i would get up again, walk downstairs and fall
into the basement. Eventually I didn't even know where i
was in my friend's house. I was trapped in this loop for
about 2 hours. I thought i had gone 'over the line' and
made myself permanently retarded. after about 2 hours it
kinda faded though, and things went back to a relative calm.


but every LSD trip after that was tainted, and i haven't
done LSD in almost 7 years because of it.

after 5 grams of shrooms i was communicating with
disincarnate intelligent entities about the death of my
body. when i found out this was real, i was profoundly
shaken...

i had the lsd "i'm never coming down, i'm tripping
permanently" paranoia a few times...

the worst experience was losing the capacity to transfer my
experience out of my short term memory after lsd, nitrous
oxide and cannabis. i kept asking friends the same
questions over and over until i was given a sheet of paper
explaining the situation to me, but then i would forget that
i had the note in my hand and ask anyways, "hey man, what's
going on? what are we doing?" etc...

then there was the temporal distortion from lsd and cannabis
in which my heart seemed to slow down and stop, which was
totally unnerving...

but don't get me wrong. some of the most fun experiences of
my life also happened on LSD. not after that bad trip
though.

I loved LSD for the first year or so of dropping. I thought
bad trips were a myth, it was always so much fun, i couldn't
comprehend having a bad trip!

One time a cop gave me and my friend free laser show
tickets!

on another occasion, a bunch of us were standing around in
the middle of Red Square at the University of Washington
during a huge windstorm. Out of nowhere, an unopened bottle
of juice rolls up to our feet. we stood around drinking
free juice and we felt like God had given us a present or
something.

i remember weeping once at the beauty of a bunch of hippies
throwing a frisbee in a field. it was sooo fucking
beautiful watching them turn aerodynamic physics into their
little toy.

but every trip after the bad one had this bad flavor. i had
the fear always creeping up from behind me. i finally just
gave up on LSD because it could never be as fun again.

I must be a real facktard, because I've had similar
experiences after having loads of skunk... :S

Especially the heart thing...it felt like it was going at a
million miles an hour one second, and then it felt like it
was slowing riiiiiiggghhhttt dooowwwwnnnn. Very disturbing
at the time.

I guess, as my imagination is wild enough as it is, when I
take any drug things go wrong because it goes in overdrive.

ya, it sucks.
i used to get stuck in this loop where my head would slowly
turn to the left and i would hear this "creeek" noise then i
would reset it at the center and i would hear this "tick
tick" noise. this doesn't go away untill i stop thinking
about it. but if you try to not think about something on
LSD, you end up thinking about it forever!

cannabis can be a very powerful experience, if it's high
quality stuff (pun not intended) it can initiate
"psychedelic" experiences, but there is often a significant
impairment of memory in such episodes...

I've had a few bouts of quite horrible paranoia and seen
nasty things on mushrooms (devil and wolf faces in the
walls, being convinced that close friends are actually the
police) but nothing even close to my only really bad lsd
experience.

It actually starting going downhill with that same "heart
slowing down" feeling that plaidzebra describes (as i was
looking down a plughole), but it ended up with me convincing
myself that i'd actually died and gone to hell.

I shut my eyes, opened them maybe a minute later and
everything looked like it had the contrast turned right
down. I could physically see "through" people as if they
were ghosts and read what i believed were their most evil
thoughts. Everytime i even blinked everything got darker and
more horrible. It was like being trapped forever in this
cold, dark, surreal nightmare where everyone was psychic.

I remember thinking about the nature of infinity, and how
scared i was that i'd have to live forever like this. I
can't even remember coming out of it properly as i was still
tripping in a sort of zombified dream-state when i finally
managed to get to sleep about a million years later. I've
never felt such relief waking up though. It was very, very
frightening.

It was really odd, because lsd always made things seem
brighter and more friendly for me before that. I don't think
i described it very well, but it was like having some sort
of 8-hour spiritual panic attack. Apparently i was
completely silent for most of it. I never touched the stuff
again.

Moral of the story: don't do acid on antidepressants :-(

2 very large blunts of some very fine hydroponics
3 joints of the same, all smoked individually. the blunts

something. couldnt tell if i was breathing or not and was
having pretty bad heart palpatations. not doing that again.

fuck it - i trip bad whenever i ponder spirituality and
begin doubting it. i lose sleep and the idea of tomorrow
becomes death. sleep or relaxation is impossible. everything
just sort of becomes dark and i am on the outside of
everything. all folks living their lives during this - when
i observe them - just are ignorant and are absolutely
foreign to me - like distant objects. sort of alien. that's
a bad trip right there. life.

i get that rhythm for life back when i listen to music
though. the gravity bass of fat beats just sort of pulls me
back down into that 'ignorance' or whatever you'll call it.
contentness. beats like reniform puls that just kind of drop
you on the fucking ground. or if youve listened to 'the
black hole' by dj krush, that shit is so disgustingly heavy,
it can bring you back to life - out of nothingness. back to
earth. you pick up that rhythm and you brain gets back on
that frequency really. you'know. sort of a remedy.

one time i smoked a bunch of weed at the end of a long LSD
trip. i was laying in bed listeing to The Orb's "Pomme

or something. it felt like the voices were coming from my
own throat. the sensation in my throat felt like a slippery
finger poking down into my esophagus and it eventually made
me puke. I really haven't listened to that album much since
then!

It's terrible when someone is leading you somewhere and they
choose not to tell you to "Mind your step" especially when
they're giving you a tour of a crowded area and you're sent

i never had any bad trips...sure sometimes it has gone
totally strange, that i didnt know if my eyes are open or
not. but reading some of your posts, i can totally relate,
as not understanding speech or doing something repeatedly
until you realize how fucked up you are....this has happened
usually on acid or smoking some strong weed.

reading all this made me want to trip again. i like it when
it goes totally strange. everything seem so much more
interesting then. most of the time my trips go from
anticipation to exploring to enjoying and then waiting for
it to end, but always ends with a feeling that i wished it
would have continued a little longer.
does anybody else notice that you are clenching your teeths
alot when on acid?

worst trip: i had taken some acid the night before, so i
woke up and my brain felt like it was sloshing around in my
head. to make matters worse, the night before was a friday
night, so i knew i would be partying on this night as well.
No matter what i did, i couldnt shake that 'i did acid the
night before' feeling. so i decided to say fuck it, and i
smoke a couple of bowls with some friends at about 5 that
night. i was so gone, that i hardly felt it. i took this
as a good thing - so i decided to take some more acid. for
about 3 hours i was teetering in and out of tripping. i
literally felt like i was going insane, because i was so
right in the middle. i couldnt talk, couldnt think, all i
could do was sit there and fall deeper into this acid whole.
this was the longest night of my life. i ended up not
tripping at all, i was just in the middle the whole time.
to this day, i cant event really think about that night
without fealing that half trip half sober feeling. :(

Yeah i just got the 5x this time. Even though its short
lasting it looks pretty intense. I had a bit of pure leaf
months back, it was a bit too harsh to smoke 3-4 hits and
get a few seconds of stonedness. So yeah I hope this will be
a bit more interesting :)

5x is a lot easier to "manage" than the stronger extracts,
but you'll definitely feel more than a bit of stonedness if
you have a 3-4 pipe/bong hits... salvia's a weird one, it's
kind of more interesting than fun. It's not a very
"recreational" drug in a way, the lower-end doses are just a
bit weird, and the higher end are incredibly intense. I'd
recommend listening to music that you know won't freak you
out though, the child counting in BoC's "gyroscope" nearly
pushed me over the edge the first time i smoked it.

I always get the sensation of a single bead of sweat running
down one of my legs just before things get really weird on
salvia. No clue why.

hey fuck you man... this where MR. QUOTH LIVES

no, but seriously... ONE bad trip arose, when i decided to
show up to my mother's house after eating 3 grams of
mushrooms at 3 o'clock in the morning, only to find out that
she had been waiting up all night for my stupid ass... READY
to start yelling and cursing at me... I SET OFF THE ALARM
SYSTEM TO MY FOLKS HOUSE and my dad came running out of the
bed room, screaming at the top of his lungs, "What the fuck
are you doing, you fucking son of mine... You're not a son
of mine... What the fuck are you doing setting off the alarm
system at 5:20 in the fucking morning!?!?!?!"

-he is a bald man, 66 years of age, silver back hair, and
wears only his white underwear briefs with him when he
sleeps... so when he is disturbed he runs out of the bed
room with only these articles of clothing on... I was still
tripping while this was all happening... my ears went
whacko... and i suddenly felt like i fucked up my
relationship with my folks from that moment on... it was a
weird day/night/crazy way to end a perfectly good trip,
besides waking people up and doing stupid shit you normally
wouldn't have thought about

I was on acid in a convenience store, and I hadgone to the
counter to buy something, but improperly entered my key on
the keypad. I pressed cancel and asked him to run it
through again.

He leaned forward and said to me "Why didn't you just press
correction?"

It was one of the single most terrifying moments of my life
