I had anxiety long before I did drugs. I believe psychedelics really helped me to beat my anxiety problem.
The sensory alterations are something I just view as a side effect of something which has allowed me to grow as a spiritual being.

I have consumed about 1/2 oz of mushrooms in the past year, my most recent trip being very intense many ups and downs, like heaven and hell, ever since this past experience if i smoke a large quantity of marijuana, i will have a noticeable mushrooms flashback for about 30 minutes (objects swelling, vision twisting, appendages contorting, lucid mind state), does anybody know a method for halting these flashbacks?

I had an intense trip like that myself last year. but are you sure those are mushroom flashbacks? Marijuana in it's own right is known to be a hallucinogen.

I don't think those are flashbacks mang. Marijuana will very frequently take on the properties of other psychedelics you do regularly. I no longer have to eat mushrooms at all. At this point, the only way to have a "good old" weed high is to drink some alcohol first and smoke after I'm drunk. That will turn it back into a shallow, giggly experience real quick.

Suggestions for improving the poll, ask for specific adverse effects, this is a general poll a poll with more specific information including times tripped, doses and other information is very desireable. You got the ball rolling so that is commendable.

tripping has been an amazing supplement to my life. the only time ive ever really pushed the envelope too far was earthdance last year on 4-5 doses of liquid molly and 12 hits of acid. blacked out for three hours and came to in a world of paranoia and frighteningly real hallucinations. good times

Danlennon when I read your reply to this post I first thought it was a reply that I had wrote on a seperate post and someone transfered it over here. Some of the things you wrote were verbatim what I did, like "what some would call a "bad trip"." From my belief "bad trips" are nothing more than an intense psychological transformation of a neccasary understanding that is needed for the ego to be at peace. When I had my first one a decade ago I don't think I was able to think it was anything but a bad trip because of the lack of information, misinformation, and myths of the bad trip. One of the fundemental pieces of realization for me came when I stopped "using" psychedelics to get high and started partaking with them for expanding my understanding of myself and integration in the big picture. Not to mention healing which was what the psychedelic was first used for thousands of years ago by numerous different tribes all over the world.
Anyways danlennon, very well put in my opinion.

I must say, some of these questions are diffictult to judge from the perspective of the one answering them.. O.o things like, if we feel we function better in society for example.. I don't feel I do function in society better then I did before.. as before I was just completly content not questioning it, and just going along with Society, and functioned very well in it.. But that is not saying I am unhappy, or unfullfilled, or poor, or alone... so maybe that gets what I meant there.. otherwise.. I also found it difficult to define the difference between which drugs actually were what created any positive or negative effects in my life.. When it comes to anything that effects the mind, you cannot really seperate the means by which is doing so, because of the very diversity of the mind, and how it is actually effected by substances ..? Everyone is different. So if you, me, or anyone used lsd one time, and then dextromethorphan after, and say MDMA inbetween, with a touch of Salvia.. or whatever- in the long term, how can we say what drug made the benifits or not..?
I'm not dissing the poll, there needs to be more of them, and now we're getting somewhere again..
I just thought, and decided to mention  It's always awesome going through these types of questionairs, and getting a better understanding of ones own experience by even thinking of such questions..
- noy just stranger then we suppose, but stranger then we can suppose.."

In fact, I lived in a state of near continuous embarrassment, never measuring up to the ridiculous standards I had accepted without question, applied to a framework of expectations neither I nor anyone else could meet: how I should act, how others should treat me or otherwise comport themselves in my presence, how the days and months and years should unfold in my favor.--J.C.Amberchele

calamus root according to ayurveda, negates all ill effects of all psychedelics, including ganja. read that in Ayurveda: the science of self healing by Dr. Vasant Lad. great book

There are many who believe that "calamus" is a mistranslation of "cannabis"

All I can say is don't get really, really stoned unless you can afford to trip a little bit. I get those flashbacks, too, so don't you worry your pretty little head about it. You're only somewhat insane

Lest i upset some contributors to this thread, let me say in advance that I LOVE polls, and that this poll has some obtained some great data and insight. However I feel that many of these types of polls can be distorted to the understanding of the poll taker. Questions need to be much more specific in order to create answers everyone can agree are accurate. Questions like "have you ever had a difficult trip" are confusing and too general. "medical situations" should be defined, as should "visual and sensory effects".
edit* i hadn't read the above post by funkmastershroom before i posted, which basically covered everything i was thinking.

I'm wishing there was a a way to re-take it, as some of my answers have changed.
-------------------- "Absolutely. This is why I believe that all psychedelic use, even if it's at a Rave, is part of a spiritual search. My suspicion is that psychedelics are going to be accepted, if they ever are, only when they are seen as tools for spiritual development. But the trouble is that the West basically treats the unconscious as the enemy - as if only an ax-murder will be found in there! For God's sake repress it!"

Never had a full on bad trip, but I have had the first half of it be terrifying, only to turn into bliss.

The poll could be better put together as had already been said, but overall, good that its been done.
I've had the 'counting down' feeling before, where I just wanted it to end, from super strong acid. Laid in a tent for what felt like six hours but it had been three minutes, sigh. I've had feelings of 'oh shit I've taken too much I'm fucked' once, but I managed to sort myself out before it became a really bad trip and it became a rather nice one.

When I mixed Cannabis with mushrooms I suffered from a light derealization the next one or two weeks. Maybe it was because I was ill at this time, I couldn't say. The first trip made me a better person, anyway
