I tripped for the first time last week. I hadn't really had too much to eat in the days leading up to the trip, and i took a whole 1/8 and 1500mg of Vitamin C. I was with two pretty good guy friends of mine that had tripped plenty b4. (That was just some background)
So everything is cool at first i'm listening to Bob Marley and just enjoying the beginnings of the trip.Laughing to myself about everything. Some time passed and we put in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. As the movie began, my trip went down hill.
I've seen that movie a billion times sober, but had know idea how differnt visually and audibly (sp?, it sounded different). My brain couldn't handle how trippy the movie was, and i had to have them turn it off. Then we put on some cartoon, and i thought i saw a cartoon person eating part of a human body w/ blood dripping down his mouth (turns out it was just a piece of fruit).
Either way from this point forward my trip was bad. I thought i was drowning, i thought that I had swallowed my tongue on several occasions, even as i was talking and smoking cigarretes, ya kno, stuff ur obviously using ur tongue to do... I even put on Friends and felt that even that show was too much for me to handle b/c the characters were arguing...
I really would like to trip again, and have a good trip this time like my friends. I think that now that i know what to expect, things would go a lot smoother. What does everyone think?? All suggestions and thoughts are welcomed!

It's a good sign if you still want to trip even after having a bad trip. If you still want so, then absolutely you should do it again. It's hard to say if the next one will be easier or not, because every trip is different, but at least you know you can handle it, right?

That is a pretty depressing movie without shrooms! It is really funny in a cynical way, but I could see how it would be very merciless while tripping. I personally would not want to waste a trip by watching a movie like that, but I am older and have made the wrong choice for a tripping setting before.
Mushrooms can rattle you in any environment the first time. You can do it again, but you should not underestimate the setting and environment you trip in. We alway go outside in a quite, natural setting. I really like trip in the empty, unpopulated desert. I hope the developers leave some of the desert that way...

Yes i agree with MourningDove, your environment has alot to do with how your going to trip, and like him, I recommend tripping in nature with some of your good friends, not watching a movie.
I would say watching a movie would be something fun and safe to do when your on shrooms, but in your case it wasnt fun, and you have another option to go out of the house and walk around, now this is what i would NOT recommend at all. If you paranoid from a movie, every little thing will make you paranoid, or atleast what i have experienced.
I would plan a camping trip and try to trip out in nature, i havent had any good trips, or atleast not for the whole time, all 4 times ive tripped 3/4 of the time it was a bad trip, because of negative thoughts such as having to face my parents, or being around people i dont know, or some bullshit like that.

Getting out and walking is a good idea, shrooms are much more fun when you're out and experiencing things rather than just watching something happen on a screen.

i agree, getting outside, always helps, but i would not recommend a movie such as fear and loathing, the atmosphere of the movie would cause almost anyone to have a bad trip. i would try not to worry too much about having a bad trip again before you do though, don't want to psyche yourself out. good luck.

Well first of all you have to find out what made the trip bad for you. Many things can cause anxiety or make you feel uncomfortable. For you, it sounded like the setting you were in wasnt working for you. But then again, for your first trip you really dont know what to expect and its kind of hard for you to relax and enjoy yourself. I know my first few times I was very uncomfortable and got upset by any little thing i saw and spent most of the time waiting for the trip to end. But, if you arent discouraged by a bad trip then I think its a good sign that after you have a little more experience you will be capable of handling bad trips. For me, usually all it takes is to tell myself that its just a drug, i've been here before and that i always came out ok.
As for what you do while you're tripping, it's all a personal preference if you want or dont want to do something then you should/shouldn't do it. If you like to watch movies while you're tripping its not really a bad thing. Personally, I like to watch movies especially right after dosing or during the comedown. Fear and loathing is one of my favorite movies to watch on shrooms, although i can see how it could upset somebody.
If you start a movie and dont feel like finishing it then just turn it off. Lots of people love to be outside when they trip, so it'll probably be worth trying if you feel up to it. Music is important to set a tone for the trip and again i suggest you to listen to what you like. My favorites are pink floyd, tool of course, and system of a down has some of my favorite songs as well.
Overall, you probably just need a few more tries at it before you will be able to get the most out of your trips. Good luck and be safe

General rule based on stereotypes: Movies about drugs and/or tripping or with heavy involvment of the aforementioned things tend not to be good things to watch while tripping.
