The only time I have ever bad tripped was when I broke up with my girlfriend while shrooming. That really sucked. I had to ride it out for 5 hours.

changing your surrounding can halp alot too, change the music that is in, change the lights, what room your in, where and how you are sitting, find a video game to play, watch tv, watch a movie, and just otherwise find something to keep your mind busy, if you notice someone going into a bad trip, start telling a story or just talking about bullshit, give em a glostick, turn off the blacklight, smoke a bowl <== remember that one, it almost always works if you catch em early enough, but if it has gotten bad, the idea of getting more fuked up might just scare them even more, hmmm, sasha or paul oakenfold has never let me down, happy hardcore can work sometimes too, but it can do as much harm as good, anything that lets them regain control of their brains(something that would be routine for them), take a walk, look for new stimuli to distract them, shit, i'm out. laterz ------------------ I'm Sober

did any of you ever try praying (or mantras or something of the like). I find that that ususlly works VERY well for me. I ask for guidance and understanding, as well as being thankful for everything. I have Ravi Shankar (sitar music from India) that is all mantras sung over his music. One of the mantras is to close the "doors" in your mind, and I find that after repeating it a few times, you end up concentrating on the mantra so much that whatever you were bad triping on, you forget. Oh yeah, and I don't pray to GOD, I call it Just Being. I was brought up catholic believing in a GOD that was all forgiving, and I've had more than one bad trip trying to let go of my unfounded belief in GOD. Anyways, mantras work for me.

what my friend tells me when i freak out is "just remember it's just the drug" and if that won't calm me down he'll but me to rest in a bed and keep telling me the it will be over soon the drug is almost gone... the later is use in only extreme cases where i was about to jump off my deck when i thought the chair was made out of live snakes...  ------------------ BeastMaster

I once saved a friend from a bad trip by telling him it was christmas eve upstairs.He looked at me with this look in his eye, like a little kid, and ran upstairs to look for the tree.By the time he got up the stairs, he had forgotten why he was going up. I reminded him that he had wanted a glass of water. My GF caught all this on video.

its been my experience that the best thing to do when a bad trip strikes is to change surrounding, music and lighting. If i'm outside, i go in and watch TV or something. Even though it bothers some people, i also find it really helpful to go into a well lit bathroom and look in the mirror...freshen myself up a little. Sometimes you cant tell if its something that's making you uncomfortable physically, so it helps to rule that out by doing things that you may not think need to be done...get a drink, put on a sweatshirt, etc. Plus, its really funny if you like switch the position in which you're sitting, and suddenly, everything gets better and it dawns on you that you're foot has been asleep for eternity and a half. ------------------ "if you would be unloved and forgotten, be reasonable" !~~*rAinBoW*~~!

i've been tripping for awhile,but sometimes i just hit a negative thought and it scares the shit outta me. It's true, the whole changing location, music whatever. But i freaked out one time and convinced myself that smoking herb was not key. SO now whenever i trip, smoking makes me feel super paranoid. All i have to do is just not smoke while tripping. Stearing from the negative thought is sometimes a task, man. What if you have no where to go and the thought keeps coming back? i've freaked out a couple times but now i basically just tell myself it's the drug and to let myself go with it. I cannot fight this evil drug! hehe..i stole that from Hunter S. blessed be------------------ i'm the one that's gonna have to die when it's my turn to die, so let me live my life...the way i want to -Jimi Hendrix

This has ALWAYS worked for me and my friends. Before we trip I go downstairs and set up the VCR with a four hour tape of old Simpsons episodes that everyone has seen a hundred times. If a friend is having a bad trip I just take them down and watch the tape with them for a while. It always works at calming them down and they usually end up laughing their asses off and having a good time.------------------ "Let's just say I'm not getting the respect a cop killer deserves."

actually the milk idea isnt that bad of an idea. a lot of times when i dont like the trip its cuase my stomach hurts and if you microwave milk so its just warm it helps to neutralize your stomach acids... so that might have actually helped aslo. basically now when i use mushrooms its not a recreational thing its a spiritual thing. i meditate and think about things bothering me. usually i just end up coming to a conclusion and feel better the next day. so meditating isnt such a bad idea. also the mirror thing actually entertains me for hours, making funny faces and all sorts of stuff. its funny how looking at yourself in the mirror is so amusing... just a thought

Sit with a good posture, make your breathing slower and deeper, expand your rib cage, and smile. Turn off the TV or any bad music that might be bothering you. Pay attention to the message(s) bubbling up from your unconscious. Do not try to steer the sequence of associations, just notice them and name them as they go by.
