I've had mixed results, and used quite a few hallucinogens over my younger years. Will break it down by the two major (only ones I had bad trips on). I also had good experiences on both acid and shrooms, but the bad ones turned me off in the end and never went back to it.

Shrooms - Beach week my senior year. Got a couple ounces of shrooms and headed to SC with some people. Had to ride out all night to go get them from my friends frat brother at a college 3 hours away, then head back to home town, before departing for a 6 hour ride to the beach house in SC from VA. So, being up for about 2 days, I decided to have about 6-8 20mg of adderroll to start the journey. When we got to the house, everyone passed out (of course I couldn't sleep) and proceeded to pull caps out of my shroom stock. Ye of little patience kept eating, not knowing how potent they were, and got to about 8 grams when all said and done.

Shrooms are wonky to begin with, kinda dark, grimey trip... But this hit like a ton of bricks. Visuals out the ass. Rooms expanding forever and back down to tiny. Couldn't talk, swallowing was hard, mind racing all over the place, couldn't walk (maybe just was too fucked up to), but when I tried it was like I was drunk as hell. Swore I was going to die. Felt like I was slipping away into nothingness. Trips only supposed to go 4 hours or so, but this lasted way longer (probably mixing it with the addies in high quantities, staying up for 2 days, and the dosage of shrooms).

When I came out of it, I cried for hours. I wasn't right for a while. I can't really explain it. When I tried to talk nothing would come out but tears. Couldn't verbalize anything when I was back into a safe place in my mind. Was a really really crazy dark trip that changed my perception on death for the long haul. Swore i was going to die.


On to LSD - After those shrooms I swore off of them, but decided I'd get some paper from this traveling Hippie dude with a fresh stock from a New Years PHISH show he brought back. Damn paper dragons. Took them up to a friends in the mountains and we both took a couple tabs. That shit set on like a bat out of hell. It was good, real good, like I got shot out of the pleasure cannon. Problem is, I kept going up... wouldn't stop going up. Got to be too good. Mind was gone. Periods of time I couldn't remember who "I" was. Lost touch with my inner monologue. Sensory overload. They put on some jazz music and my eyes started rolling in the back of my head. Just couldn't take the intense feeling. Felt like I couldn't remember how to breathe. My friends walking circles around me bc he says when he sits still shit is too much to handle. Felt like he walked circles behind me for days. Tried to go to the bathroom and literally forgot how to pee I was so fucked up. Damn trip went on for about 10 hours. Just too much. Didn't mess me up emotionally or mentally like the mushrooms, but I'm sure the anxiety I had this trip correlated with the bad trip on the mushrooms.

Ever since those two I swore off. My brain and emotions didn't mix with them like they had previously on my good ones. The good ones are amazing, but the bad ones are just as bad on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Omelet probably would have done a ton of acid, but he dodged the draft and ended up sucking dick for smokie links in a Toronto alley

Fun Fact: Selling LSD was my first "job". Screw flipping burgers...flipping drugs in High School is just too easy.

Never had a bad trip, but have tripped with people that where bad trips themselves.

Emotionally wrecked girls that would spend the next five hours either crying or babbling about some other emotionally wrecked girl too fast and too loud for anyone on a head full of acid to comprehend.

The guys that would drop a bunch of LSD and then spend the first few hours insisting we need to "do something". Dude...I am doing something. I am tripping balls. Why the **** do I want to play basketball at the park?

And don't even get me started on Danny. This dude only did acid because he liked the speedy edge to it. Would just keep popping tabs until he could not blink and veins were popping from every inch of his shaved head. Then wanted to go for a drive on the highway at 100 MPH. Almost crashed into a Tow Truck because he got too locked in on following the flashing yellow lights on top.

Thank God he finally discovered cocaine and probably died twenty years ago.

You know what used to drive me crazy? When people would want to put on Pink Floyd while we were tripping because their music was 'good for tripping'.

Excuse me: what music ISN'T good for tripping? I remember coming home after that first 18-hour trip and watching the Lawrence Welk show on PBS, and the music notes were purple and flying out of the TV. I don't need a bunch of fucking hippies to trip out to music

OMG

So much this!

And not Pink Floyd, but just 'Dark Side' seven times in a row. The only thing worse were the horrible, horrible peeps that would also break out with their VHS copy of Wizard of Oz and try to "sync" them.

I have done a LOT of drugs and that NEVER has seemed even remotely fun.

You can mark me down in the never took hard drugs category.

Talked about it a lot with friends that had done a lot, but by that time I was already old enough that it just didn't sound too exciting or interesting to me.

Mushrooms and Acid are "hard drugs"?

I guess the more drugs I did, the definition of "Hard" became different. I didn't shoot dope or smoke crack :nope: My hard drug list got a lot shorter.

Just my personal opinion. Anything that can literally blow your entire mind for twenty hours off a single dose seems pretty hard to me.
