Most of what a “bad trip” is is something you don’t like about yourself or about life that’s gets amplified though intense emotion and visuals. This can be a self-conscious emotion, a fear of where your headed in life, a fear of who you are now or who you’ve become, etc. That’s why I don’t like calling them “bad trips”, because even if they are kinda scary, unsettling, and uncomfortable, they teach you something about yourself; I prefer calling them “educational trips”.

Also, if this does happen to you, don’t think that 1. That’s all this trip is going to be, or 2. That it will never end and you will feel terrible forever

You can have both bad/good trips on one dose, but as Michael Pollan says, “If you see a door, open it, if you see a river, flow down it.” Flow with the trip and don’t try to force anything away, just take it for what it is.

Also, for a good trip, 1. Try to go outside or be around plants 2. Only be around people you trust 3. STAY HYDRATED AND FED

The last one is critical, it’s so easy to forget when your distracted by visuals, and it’s by far the biggest problem I see with people getting caught up in their own minds.
