Avoiding a bad trip?

Would anyone know any good ways of redirecting your thoughts to minimize the possibility of a bad trip?

Make sure youre happy and if ur happy state changes do something to take your mind off whats bothering you.

dude walt Disney dumbo the movie

i've never had a "bad" trip and done plenty of lucy in my day..

saying that, two of the most important things are set and setting. only be around people whom you trust with your life, and in a happy place, w/e that means for you..
don't be around any negativity, and if your mind starts to go to a dark place, try changing either the set or setting..
if things start to get pretty heavy, i always remind myself that i'm on a heavy drug, and it will wear off soon, and it usually does the trick, at least enough to get me back in a happy place, not that i've ever really had a "bad" trip like i said earlier..

oh yeah, drugs like lsd intensify your mood, so if you're in a bad mood, or a sad mood, or a dark mood, it's not a very good time to take lsd, or pretty much any drug ime, but hallucinatory drugs are even worse to do if you're not in the right frame of mind before taking them..

my only bad trip stated with seeing a cop flash his lights while I was driving the shrooms had just kicked in I freaked out all night that sucked.

but I love shrooms no way I could have a bad trip in a chill place.

Get rid of ANYTHING that will give you a bad trip BEFORE you trip. If assholes hit up your cellie, just don't use it. IF you are having a bad trip try this (my mom told me this worked for lots of folks in the 60's) untie- and retie - your shoes; just keep doing it until you're back to your senslesses. Or if you have a button down shirt, button the buttons up and down until you're sane-ish. GL!

Just relax and learn to let go and you can ride out anything.

Take more.

if it gets bad......remember its just heavy, not bad

Go into to it, don't fight roll with it...give over to it

There is absolutely no use in hanging on to reality it will only interfere

There is a reason you're doing it...and remember that

Close your eyes and watch the colors...nothing else you can do at that point unless you turn belly up and start crying in the dark..I allways said this to people who are having a 'bad'trip(I still don't understand this)..'look..you payed 25$ for that acid,bag of shrooms ect...at least you know you got your moneys worth!'....

I've had a few bad trips. If I take too much of any psychedelic it seems to happen to me ultimately. I have this sense of knowing that it's about 10% where it is at at a certain point and I m way to fried already, then I have this impulsion to think 'No no NO NO NO NO NO NO!' it hasn't happened to me in awhile because I know my limits on them, but I also like the bad trips I have because I always feel like they are more constructive. Really it's just because of high dosages and I don't stretch it all that often anymore.
If it does happen, it helps to keep your mouth shut, and DO SOMETHING. Unless you've taken enough to not really be able to find your way around due to visuals. When I was way younger I freake dout a couple of times and voiced it 'I'm freakin out man!' that just adds to the choas. You must let it consume you. Time slows, it sucks because all you want is for it to be over and you know it's not going to be for awhile and the worst has yet to come. You must surrender.

I've never taken a large dose of LSD, not ever enough to freak me out anyways. But I have of mushrooms, these things start to happen around 5-7 grams. Generally I can ignore them, and just surrender, that's the key. Like I said it hasn't happened in awhile and it really sucks when it happens to YOU. I've seen experienced friends wig and it is fumy because it always correlated with either being in public, or them going through some sort of existential crisis. Which I have been through myself and experienced the wicked side of tripping. Research chemical psychedelics love to do it to me because it adds a whole new(What if this causes something strange, some fucking array of a thousand different excuses as to why I should be freaking out.) so I stay away from those for the most part nowadays.
You must remember it will end, but it won't now, and there's nothing you can do. And fuck it, if you think you're going to die, then who cares. You're a piece of shit anyways right?

Preparation. You cannot avoid a bad trip no matter what you think. You cannot predict all that may happen during your experience and s bad trip is not a sign of a weak mind or will. You would be wise to find yourself a chant, a song, a mantra. It must be yours, never share or borrow anothers. It need not make any sense and it might help if it does not. If you catch yourself going down the wrong rabbit hole then bring out your chant and say or sing it out loud as many yes as you need to. Any of you who actually take this advice and run into trouble will thank me.

'Bad trip'..still don't understand...and 'research chemical' is fast becoming a reason to poo poo viable chems that have meaning..

Bad Trip number 1: I saw a guy on Las Vegas Cops show that was trippin on shrooms waiting for a bus. He started babbling nonsense and the cops had to take him in. The bus was going to take him to the hospital where his wife was giving birth to his baby. He had a bad trip in jail. sad to watch really. They put him in a cell alone and he was whacked out of his mind.

Bad Trip Number 2: I was serving jail time for a D.U.I. years ago. You can serve your jail time by working it off at the jail. They let you come in 7am-3pm , going home at the end of the day. Well, I got assigned to the pig farm. You have to shovel shit and feed the pigs at the pig farm. It stinks like hell, its hot, there are flies everywhere. .....But you get to go home at night and keep a steady job if you were lucky enough to keep it. ....... So, the only good thing about the Pig Farm is you get to meet new friends!.... everyone there drinks and does drugs 99% of the time, so guess what you talk about? .....well, one of the dudes starts talking about rolling on E and taking shrooms...... The pig farm is so boring but you are subject to random drug testing and random searching by the deputies. They can pull up any time and search you and give you a hard time... and they always do. But people at the farm would find ways to smoke cigs and joints anyways.........Well, my new friend declares "I think you could get away with trippin on shrooms out here and no one would be the wiser" ........we laugh........ next day we all go walking up to the farm and there is a random search. everyone gets against the fence. Apparently my new friend ate his shrooms, that he was either going to eat later or planned on it right then anyways, but he fucking ate them. ..... There were 4 of us NEw friends hanging out and he told NONE of us that he ate magic shrooms in Jail pig farm...... two hours later we are 'working' and he starts babbling nonsense to me.....he wont respond when I ask him if he is feeling ok.... then he looks at me with a look like he was going to attack me and he turns and runs up the long dirt road to the deputies station..... I chased after him for a hundred yards .... I tried to talk sense to him but he had that look on his face...... I had to let him go walk to the deputies, because I did not want to get in trouble.... He kept walking right into the station and that is the last we ever saw of him.... we found out later from a guy actually inside the jail and who worked the processing area. He said the dude was playing with his own shit in the cell and babbling nonsense. ..... thats a bad fucking trip.

reality checks help too. my name is so and so, i live at blah blah blah first street, my birthday is----, i took this many hits of whatever, at this time, and ill be fine by xxxx. happy trails

Imp..that wasn't a bad trip..dude learned his lesson...my lesson #1 in jail was don't do drugs!...guess why there is a term called cavity search..and I'm not gettin high because of the neglect of our fine officers of the law like tight situations..

Whippets or DMT or ketamine can cure almost any negative trip. Especially the do a line of K, and then hit the deem combo. That should make everything too strange for you to worry about any worldly things.
