How long would you wait to trip after having a bad trip.

I have done mushrooms twice. The first time I ate 1.7g and I had a good time but it wasnt very powerfull. The second time I didnt have a scale but i know i ate about 2.5-3.5g and I had a very bad trip. Saw skeletons, cried, all that. But I have an oppurtunity to do mushrooms on a camping trip in two weeks. I was wondering what you guys thought. Should I give myself some more time to heal or just give it another go?

I'm in a similar position. In my case I am going to give some time, I think I'll just smoke pot for a while instead. My mary jay friend never lets me down.
As for you, it's up to you man. If you are going to go into the trip scared, then that isn't a good start really, but then again maybe out in nature camping you will have a much better trip ?
Make sure you measure the dose next time too, and maybe keep it on the low side.
Good luck.

not very analytical are you folks - a bad trip? what happenned? did something inside come up? if so you need to look at it. going again is your own path, someone else can't tell you where to turn. your bad trip is a reflection of something in your life, not an isolated shroom event, you need to look into this and heal. going into a visionary state can be part of healing, in fact, there may be no other valid reason for taking shrooms. how much you take and how often relates to how you manage your healing/vision questing/or perspective shifting. i don't reccommend competitive dosing or consumerist expectations.

There is no set amount of time. For some people it could be the day after, for some it could be never.
When you are ready, you will know.

It all depends why my trip was bad, and what kind of bad was it. I only had 4 bad trips really. After some i did mushrooms as soon as a week and others like 2 month.

Trip when you feel the time is right. A camping trip with close friends doing mushrooms together is a good environment. A camping trip with a large number of drunken bafoons, not so much.
Have you examined what made your last trip bad? If it was the setting, that's easy enough to change. But if the problem stemmed from your own mind, then I would do some serious thinking and possibly changing/growing/whatever before tripping again.

so true if its the environment you were in that made it go bad then you will most likely be alright

Yeah dude last shroom trip I had was really bad becuase of setting and people. I was with my best friend after dosing like 6 grams of dry libs, we were about to go to the woods where we thought we could enjoy nature and just chill(It was a warm october day). going there we ran into some acquaintance's and they pissed me off so much. Asking me questions, so after 45 minutes of this garbage, I decided to take off and go in the woods alone. after about an hour of wondering i just sat down in the woods in a familiar clearing that we always chill and smoke in when we want to get away form it all and sat for 3 hours tripping major listening to radiohead and zeppelin. Im trying to remember the song by radiohead where thom yorke is walking through the woods meeting creatures and talking trees. Anyways thats what it felt like, so the moral of the story is to many people not on mushrooms and in a bad setting is just chaos.

I had two bad mushroom trips a while ago. Didn't stop me from dropping acid less than a month later. Had a great trip.
I think my bad ones were more about set and setting than anything else. If you sense there was something deeper involved it might be wise to take a break.

I think you should give it another go... this time, accept the skeletons. Accept the urge to cry, if that's how you feel. But let these emotions run through you, not hold you down. You see, all fears are just emotional responses. If you sit tight, and let them run their course, they'll rarely last more than a few minutes. The body takes care of itself that way. If you dig into them thinking there is something wrong with the way you feel, you can spiral them until a) someone or something distracts you for long enough to let the emotions settle or b) you stop tripping.
Honestly, if you've taken care of set/setting, let the mushrooms do what they do. Let them take you where they will. Skulls aren't so scary... you've got one, afterall You might see strange things... it's normal. Turn those insane images and think of how amazing it is that you are able to experience them. Turn that energy into power, and enjoy the emotions that THAT drives into your trip. It's the same idea, but you're just being optimistic.
Good luck

what? what do you mean anything else, there is no anything else. the basis of why people have bad trips is because of set OR/AND setting, there is nothing else.

think about it: "man my set and setting were perfect, I did 12 grams, why did I have such a bad trip"
