"Listen to me, Morty. I know that new situations can be intimidating. Your lookin’ around and it’s all scary and different, but y’know … meeting them head-on, charging into ‘em like a bull - that’s how we grow as people." --Rick Sanchez
While peaking on shrooms I did actually come to realize and think to myself, “different parts of my brain are communicating with areas they usually wouldn’t, my brain is functioning differently, nothing to worry about and it’ll be okay”
I heard Adam from this video in my head while I was coming down from a 4.5g shroom trip. I wish my trip had been more intense tho. It definitely made a lot of sense while I was coming down.
I have a motto on psychedelics; 'ride the wave' - you know i'm no massive bloke, acid hits me like an 18 wheeler but because I remember to 'ride the wave' I stay calm. It's not like i'll remember much else, but if you think of the drug as a wave you have elected to surf upon, you don't know what it'll do but you'll be fine as long as you just keep going with it.
@The Outdoors All good man, I hate to think of anyone else having panic attacks because they are so horrible and no one deserves to suffer like that! I think I might know what you mean by CEV's, when I've been having a bout of panic attacks (usually lasts a couple of months) my head is so fucked up from all the fear that when I close me eyes (like to go to sleep) I see heaps of real vivid horrible shit like monsters, demons and dismembered bodies! During one period like 7 years ago I basically had to trick myself to go to sleep. What I'd do is leave the light on and listen to an audio book until I fell asleep. Like I'd tell myself that I'm not going to sleep I'm just going to listen to an audio book really late at night haha. TL;DR Basically I had to sleep with the light on for 3 months hahahahaha.
i tried watching this video at the peak of a 375ug acid trip as i was freaking tf out. i had no idea what adam was saying but it calmed me down a bit. thx buddy😘😘
Anyone ever feel trapped in there brain when the realization sets in that every experience is within ur brain , the outside world never really exists it’s just your senses processing it within your brain then panic sets in and in the moment you think you “broke your mind” scariest feeling ever
THATS EXACTLYY what i felt on my shrooms trip. i was trying to explain that to my friends but did not know the words to even barely describe it. that ruined my life... how r u feeling now after months of that?
@OG Smokin literally like everyday of my life i think to myself "what is this world what is this life" and its makin me go crazy. i keep thinking to myself every night whats gonna happen when i die. even when i smoke weed i just start going back into the trip a little bit it fucked me up
If you have bad trips then go to 9:55 in the video and listen closely and carefully. This goes for everyone and especially people who have control issues, you cant take a psychedelic and try to control it and hold on. You have to let go and let it take over your body. When you do this and know ahead of time that you have to do this then you will never have a bad trip. Every time I've taken a psychedelic and used this method i have never experienced a bad trip. The only time that i have had a bad trip is when i tried to control it and make it go away but about halfway through the trip i realized i needed to let go and almost instantaneously the trip got 110 times better
@@marshmallowjuice1699 imagine everything in your entire life and everything built up to now is going to disappear. Let go of it all momentarily, it's gone. At least on DMT it's like that very quickly, low doses of acid you wont really need a "let go" it would typically be just strong enough to feel it and enjoy the effects without the mindfuck and otherworldly egodeath shit lol
Thank you for making this! I had a really traumatic trip a few years ago and it drove me into a almost inescapable depression. It's very reassuring to hear other people's experience.
just randomly looked through the comments and checked your channel - i usually never do that turns out you are a sympathetic dude with some awsome animals
@sapere thanks! I have been working with exotics over 20 years now! Thanks for checking out my channel. Finally got my youtube award too, slowly climbing my way to the top but then getting kicked back down by RUclips's algorithm one day at a time.
I came through the comments and clicked the replies for your comment and noticed Sapere's comment. I decided to check out your channel. I like your stuff. You have another sub. Btw I agree. He would make a great reader for audible. Edit for spelling.
I had a bad trip from LSD awhile ago and I didn't know how to feel. I'm glad you produce stuff like this. It's helped me heal and become a stronger person in the end. Personally, thank you
I vividly remember when I was on shrooms, tripping with my friend, and I approach her, looking like I'm tweaking, grab her shoulder and go "dude I think I broke something. like in my brain. i broke my brain. what if i never get it back?" and she goes "dude you're just having a bad trip" and until she said that i didn't even think of it as a bad trip, i just thought about it as a trip. after that i felt so much better, still awful and terrified, but i realized that many tripping people felt how i felt and that id come out of it.
I got an ad! Imma watch it whole. Also a Patron. The ad is about vegetables. She just cut a dragon fruit. Oh damn, she put all the stuff in a blender! Now she made tasty juices! The ad was about eating healthy. Now the video is starting, bye.
I GOT A MID ROLL AD! But this one wasm't pleasant, it was about trading on a website and some wanna be archer shot a bullseye, but he didn't even anchor his right hand correctly, also his release was god-awful lol what a loser
Ok so, note to self, NEVER watch these videos while actually tripping, it scared the living shit out of me TWICE xd On another note, watching it sober.. is hilarious :D
Damn dude, yeah that is a thing. I honestly can only watch cartoons when tripping, like not even Rick and Morty type cartoons, I mean like Johnny Bravo type cartoons lol.
Hey man thanks for answering my question it means a lot to me =D So you know its me I also talked about weed paranoia in my message. But people please please know what your getting into with salvia. It is NOT a good first time experience it is very potent. You may think "oh it'll only last for fifteen minutes" trust me it feels like wayyyy longer. For me personally it felt like I was in that state for 6 hours or so (it was hard to tell though since I didn't understand the concept of time for awhile) so please have a trip sitter, know what your getting into, mentally prepare yourself, and do not start out with a concentrate like I did. Get the actual plant or go down as low as you possibly can for the concentrate.
Yes its not for everybody. But don't assume everyone will be scared like you were. In my experience, my first time with x20, well lets just say it was amazing and lovely. ofc I had challenging ones ahead of that. its a psychological drama, and consciousness has nothing to do with psychology.
Robert King one of the definitions of consciousness is the fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world. It has everything to do with psychology. Psychology is how the human mind works and being conscious is a very fundamental part of it working. When I experienced full ego death I wasn't a functional human being by any standards. I wasn't aware of anything really myself, the world, I didn't know what anything was. I wasn't sure if I existed or if the world really existed. As for salvia the reason why it is so unique other than the fact that it only really effects the kappa opioid receptor. Is the fact that it gives mostly unique experiences to each user. So yes you are very capable of having a good trip on salvia but its really like a roulette you dont know what exactly is going to happen especially the first time or even the second time. I dont blame myself one bit for being scared though i mean who wouldnt being reborn into a world where you dont know who you are what reality is or that you took a substance and this new world never stays the same for more than five seconds. I mean that instant ego death would scare anybody honestly. My point remains the same though make sure you prepare yourself for the mental fucking your about to receive because you never know if your going to get the shitty hand on the salvia roulette wheel.
CorvusBlood I understand completely what you say, I just dived deep into this osho thing. For me as long as you see the world through your mind that is part of the unconscious. There are two ways of raising your hand, consciously and unconsciously and only the latter is strictly through the mind. Anyway have a good day :)
Well, either you just though you forgot how to think or you achieved what every meditation practicioner is trying to accomplish. Look at it from the good side, never took Salvia, but I think with almost all the drugs the mindset changes everything.
I never got used to salvia. I just jumped right into 60x smoke every time. I can enter calm but never comforting. It makes me always and never failing to never want to do it anymore
I love this channel. It’s really given me a new respect for all substances and made me realise how important it is to have sufficient information before experimenting with something new. There’s too much stigma surrounding anything drug related, Your channels a perfect example of that. Even though you don’t promote drug use whatsoever you’re still not considered “advertiser friendly” The content you upload has far greater value than the majority of other RUclipsrs. The way you give an unbiased perspective is the perfect way to get information across without alienating either side of the spectrum. This is the way all schools and educators should approach the topic rather than programs like “Dare” which just demonize everything to an obviously exaggerated extent putting off anyone who doesn’t already share a negative opinion about substances. It also makes drug education entertaining, even though I found your channel looking to find information about Adderall and other DR-DP medication it’s sparked my interest and even made me want to learn about substances I have no interest in trying and never will just out of curiosity. This was supposed to be a short comment.. but apparently I wrote a book by accident. Anyway keep it up! Your content shares much needed information👌🏻
Yesterday 5.5g mushroom trip. First time I ever did that much. I died. over and over. It was terrifying. literately felt like I physically died. At first I fought it but eventually i realized that I had bought the ticket and had to take the ride, so I laid down and turned into not much more than a rock - a rock with vague awareness but no self. The only things I could sense was my breath, which was shallow. My body would only let me breath as much as it needed to to not totally die physically. I couldn't control it but I was grateful for my breath. All i could see was the fractals, which seemed like they were taunting me. I didn't want to see them anymore but they were almost telling me that I chose this so I must endure it. All I could hear was a bird chirping outside. I couldn't think about it. I couldn't cognitively think that that is the sound of a bird, but I was grateful for that connection to nature.... grateful without thought, I wasn't allowed to think... so hard to describe. Traumatic and peaceful at the same time. Death came over and over again in waves. I was so happy when ordinary consciousness came back! So grateful to be alive and to be human!
Yeah dude, I completely understand this! I did 6.5 grams of psilocybe cubenis and yeah, it feels like u die over and over. I had a terrible time for a while but then, I was able to let go. It was difficult, but once I did, I was at complete peace. Everything was perfect. I felt like I was everything at once. During the bad part of the trip I felt as though the shrooms were like.. telling me "its okay, let go" and I finally was able to and again, it was incredible.
@@disc.3417 I'm doing 5 sometime within this next week. They're golden teachers, so I hear they are a little " lighter " if that's the right word. I did an eighth last time and had a great trip. Looking forward to this 5g one.
William Ives yess! Have fun and safe tripping. that 6.5 one I did rlly knocked me on my ass and showed me that I shouldn’t mess around with psychs. Previous to the trip I have done many before and everytime it was just fun, and the 6.5 trip rlly showed me how horrible it can be, but I learned a lot. It was like once I understood what it was trying to teach me, it gave me peace I guess lol.
@@Bigbilly-ms9bn my trip was also golden teachers. While there are more powerful strains they are certainly not light. They teach you. They hit you on your knuckles with a ruler.
I hope everyone in the future looks back at your videos and thanks you for putting your self out there. For talk about psychedelics even tho they are frond upon. For starting a new wave..
I listened to don’t worry be happy and it started working and then I thought I went crazy because I felt like I was dancing and singing for hours and hours
Oh and Adam, you are the perfect person for this. Absolutely perfect person for this. We all have a purpose and I can't just assume this is yours but you're really helpin out the world. Beautiful job.
My first trip I literally watched my sober self float away finger gunning me when I asked if he'd be there to get me through it. That was a long high, but it was good.
From the get go my aim was for each psychedelic experience to be therapeutic. Acknowledged that I might see things I don't want to see, and prepared myself to be broken down to decide how I wanted to be built up, "remade" if you want to call it that. Like a reset switch; defragging the drive etc... Carl Rogers said that the first step to positive therapeutic experiences is to be willing, and in doing so willing to be vulnerable. There's a reason why so many religions emphasize humility and willingness to be vulnerable in the face of perceived danger.
This video is exactly what I needed at this point, I'm taking a high dose in 3 days and the last time I went on a high dose trip I had a terrifying time. These are the things I wanted and needed to hear.
I already had the pleasure of trying 2CB, LSD (1P-LSD, AL-LAD, 1A-LSD [ALD52]) and even DMT for several times and I had seen some of my friends, experience a bad trip or having a hard time, whilst tripping with them most of the times. Even when I first got introduced into LSD, I always managed to keep my cool and just let go, instead of fighting whatever the LSD is trying to show me. After approximately 40+ LSD trips, and some 2CB trips in between, I had the chance of getting some DMT and I took this chance. I only had 250MG of Freebase DMT, and I dissolved it into a liquid in order to smoke it through an e-cig (and it worked well btw.). I chose to consume it in that way, as it is way easier to take a small dose of the DMT, so that I could first get familiar with it. My very first time trying the DMT was very interesting, cause I was taking my first hit, felt nothing, took another, a third one, and still felt nothing. I thought that maybe I did something wrong with the DMT. And after like 20 seconds of my first hit, IT HIT ME LIKE A ROCK. I felt a rush going from my feet, all the way up to my head in less than a second, and it felt so unique that I had no idea what to think of it (Note that it was still a small dose, I was fully aware of my surroundings). It felt like I was on acid but it didn't feel like time was passing slowly, everything was going so fast all of a sudden. All edges and corners had duplicates of themselves and they started to wiggle like crazy, colors were a lot brighter and the TV was the weirdest out of all this experience. I wasn't really paying attention to the TV and the sound was off anyways, but whilst I was on DMT, suddenly the Simpsons came up. And when I looked at the TV, it felt A LOT MORE cartoonish than it usually would, like a disney cartoon from the 50s or something. It kinda freaked me out, so I decided to look away from it and look around the room. The walls or ceiling for example started to morph aswell and I could even see figures on the walls and patterns, they felt like paintings and it felt like a story was being told on that wall (weird to explain) so I examined it till the DMT finally wore off. I tried a few low dosages later again, but they weren't as crazy as the first time, since I was already kinda familiar with it. I also combined DMT on an acid trip and THAT was by far the most psychedelic experience, that I ever had! I felt like I got all the answers that I needed during the experience, but after the DMT started to wear off, I almost forgot all of it again. I already wrote too much.. I might continue if someone wants me to. Have a great day. :)
Honestly that whole situation is almost identical to the way I go ab psychs done acid 20+(mainly high doses) shrooms 60+ and a lot of lsd analogues/pro drugs. I just recently ordered 500mg of dmt very excited to try it by the way I'm just curious what age were you when you did dmt. I'm 16 atm.
Alright I'll share my experience in which I was on LSD and DMT. A friend and I decided to take 150ug of LSD at his house. We had everything set up so that it would be as comfy as possible for the both of us. The whole room had no lights on, just some LED's that changed colors. We both had our own trips, I was either listening to music or just trying to close my eyes and see where my thoughts would take me. He was on his PC, listening to music and talking to some random people online for fun. After like 2-3 hours we were peaking hard, so we decided to smoke some of the DMT that I took with me, cause we were both curious about the effects when you combine these two substances together. I was the first to go for it. I took a hit (I took huge hits that would fill my whole lung), held it in for 15-20 seconds, exhaled, and repeated that for several times. My whole perceiving of this world (which was currently on LSD-Mode) changed into something even weirder that I barely can explain to myself. I started to look towards the closet which was in the middle of the room, and as I was looking at it, everything around it just disappeared. It looked like as if one was staring into the starry sky, but the closet was still there. As I was looking at it, I still continued to take hits of the DMT (I didn't even realize that to be honest, I just kept going and going). The LED lights played a huge role in that experience for me, cause this whole starry sky started to change colors. I was still looking at the exact same spot on that closet, I just couldn't get my eyes off of it for some reason. The closet started to morph and bend like crazy all of a sudden. It looked like snake movement if I would put it into words. I started to hear a weird noise which was like a high pitch playing in the background, and like a helicopter or airplane flying in the distance, or some sort of machinery. It was very weird cause I had only heard of people hearing such things when they're about to breakthrough, and it was my very first time. Anyways, in this whole space like athmosphere that I was in, there were suddenly some grins/mouths popping up, like from that cat from Alice in Wonderland. And geometric shapes started to appear aswell, and these shapes had even more geometric shapes in them, they seemed infinite. I sadly can't remember what these shapes really looked like, I guess it was too much information for my brain to handle. During that whole experience I was very amazed by what the DMT had shown me. My friend told me that I kept saying: "WOOOW! WTF!" and laughed as joyful as one could think of, I can't really remember that to be honest. What I do remember is, as the experience was coming to it's end, I finally got my eyes off the closet and started to look at both my hands. My whole body felt so disconnected but I still could move them. I looked at them and thought to myself: "What are those? Who controls these things? Am I some sort of being?" My ego died in less than a few seconds and I didn't even realize that. After the DMT had worn off, I started to come back to my LSD trip, which had changed signficantly! During the rest of my LSD trip, I had the most aggressive visual patterns one could think of. It was really tiring at the end of the day and I just wanted to sleep and rest at some point. Cause even with a fully darkened room, and closed eyes, it felt like I was in some sort of lasershow festival, but luckily, when I finally managed to fall asleep, I woke up refreshed and well on the next day. :) I am 100% certain that I had seen so many more things during that experience, but I just can't reach these memories for some reason. In the span of 6 months I kept thinking about it and managed to remember more and more of it. Note that I had my eyes open during that whole experience. I don't really feel the need to take DMT again to be honest. Maybe someday I'll try to go for a full blown breakthrough, without any other substances.
Thanks Adam, this video was a huge help. Underwent extreme psychedelic trauma after a violent psychotic episode with my best friend. This video definitely relates with me
Yesterday I took some hwbr seeds, only 5. Chewed them whole as I didn't experience nause the last time I took them. Went out to my friends house where I met few of our mutual friends. We had fun but I noticed that I was feeling increasingly more sick. It wasn't -or at least I think it wasn't- nausea. That kind of feeling when you get when a flu is about to come on. At this point I was tired and not feeling so good, so I began to plan my road to home. That was until our posse decides to go smoke some weed. I thought, "that could actually help" and so we went. We were outside, and smoked. I didn't plan to take such a big hit from the bong and at that moment I knew, "shit, I'm gonna be high off my tits". We talked a bit and I parted ways with my friends and off to the train station I went. Now, usually when I'm high I like to watch stupid youtube videos, watch netflix or listen to music. I remember standing at the train station and scrolling my youtube feed for videos. And all of a sudden I felt something. I didn't want to watch any videos, all of them felt somehow really ridiculous, I can't explain this feeling. It was like I and I alone knew everything that ever happened or that will ever happen. So I decided to take a stroll around the train station as i had 20 mins time to kill (the train was late cause the tracs were being cleaned or something). Whilst walking I had this feeling like I was reliving this moment. This has only happened to me once whilst smoking weed with my gf. It was terrifying. My heart started to pound and my breathing intensified. I was stuck in a never ending loop of reliving that exact moment of my life again and again. Now, I have some experience with anxiety attacks and I know how to deal with them so I sat down took huge gulp of air and relaxed. I ended up reading a book. In the train I felt dissociated from reality. It was late (01:10 or 1:10am(?)) but the train was far from empty. I felt like everyone else is living their lives, going home from work or from party, but I. I sat in a bench, looking out from a window, being stuck in this moment. I nearly missed my stop. Now the hell begins. It was a familiar trainstation, but I allways confuses which exit was the right one. In that state of mind which I was in, I was super confused. The darkness didn't help either. After walking few minutes in circles I finally figured out the right exit and began to walk towards it. I walked and walked, never quite gettimg to the exit. It felt as if many minutes had passed as I walked through the station. Then it hit me. I had died. I was dead and thats why I never got to my exit. I had died, not sure where I died but I convinced that I was dead. I began to seriously panic and tried to focuse on things I knew were real.That was when I realized, nothing is actually real, becouse I had died, how could have I died I had so much to except from life. I was mad that I allowed myself to die. Eventually I reached the exit. And that is where one of my most spiritual walk began. See I have studied shamanism, particulary shamanism practiced by Sámi people. They are "native" inhabitants of northern Europe. Northern Sweden, northern Norway and Finland. I met my spirit guide and has conversations with spirits. They told me everytihing is alright, so I relaxed a bit. Until I reached my house. I went straight to bed but sleep never came. Suddently I was back in my "I am dead" nightmare. I figured out it might be ego death so I launched to this nightmare. And I can't explain the things I felt. It was pure terror and heavenly bliss at the same time. For brief time I sae everything and it was all so clear. All so clear. I was the universe. Afterwords My native language isn't english and I wrote this with my phone no excuse me for any errors. And I understand propably noone is going to read this. I just needed to get this out of my head and writing about things has worked in the past. I am also sorry if my text is hard to follow, my thoughts haven't setteled yet so it is hard to write about this. All and all, it was not a bad trip, it was a hard trip. Now it just feels as vague as a dream.
I have done around 10 salvia trips and I have never had a bad experience. Perhaps I am just in this happy state of mind recently and I knew what I was getting into. I have had ego death but I welcomed it and it was very interesting. It made me think of the universe differently and I would say is a positive experience because it increased my everyday creativity and deep thinking capabilities.
I've always been paying a lot of respect for psychedelics but this video and more of your videos helped me plan my trip next summer back in my home country. I will take my time to work on myself and be in a good social spot in order to feel really normal before feeling realllyyy unnormal
Hey man you're telling deep truth here - it's really good advice. Because not only on a psychedelic trip but actually throughout the trip of life what your body is perceiving is changing constantly so your mind does so your "sense of self" does. That's why we shouldn't retain but let the change happen. It happens anyway i guess.
Adam, your videos are absolutley amazing man, I love all your videos and am so happy you got ads on this video. Your teaching us and we should pay back, I watch allllll your videos and you have inspired me to go deeper into psychedelics and other drugs as well. Your amazing and deserve so much more back from us for giving us all this knowledge, I love your videos man, thank you for influencing my thoughts on the world and informing me on things I thought once were a bad thing that wouldn't have any particular interest to me, now I am so interested in drugs such as dissociatives, and hallucinegentics. You have completely changed my perception on the world and consciousness itself, I love you keep up the good work man!
Incredible content. 25 years ago, I tripped that I was dead. It confused the hell out of me, and was obviously scary. I never considered that I HAD actually died as mentioned in your video. My setting was shit, and we were watching the movie LEGEND, which is about good, evil and the devil. This was with 3 girls and I on Valentines day. Life changing weirdness....but I think you hit the nail on the head. Those, including myself whose reality is so strongly based on ego are usually going to have a rough time.......unless we can relax and go with it. So difficult for some, including myself once thinking and ego are muted. Thanks for the videos, I had nothing to research my experience 25 years ago.
thankyou, I had a bad trip last night and this video has made me realise that it occurred because I wasn't prepared for any feeling of loss of ego, which sent me into a panic, inducing intense paranoia and sending me into a temporary psychotic acid loop. thankyou, I now know to prepare for idea of ego loss if I want to do acid again, I need to be mentally ready for the risk of ego death that psychedelics bring, thankyou.
Rewatching this video after having a few trips under my belt is really relaxing. I've been using LSD and shrooms as a way to escape myself and it's exactly as you said: liberating. Those few hours of whimsy and amazement are some of my favorite moments in life and that distance helped me take myself less seriously. Psychodelics have truly changed my life for the better
Interesting stuff! Your channel has introduced me to the beautiful, yet challenging world of psychedelics. Interestingly enough, I used your channel as an example of drug education done right in one of my college essays about psychedelics' potential medical uses. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos!
Dude... smartest man ever. You put it so perfectly and made it so clear. I understand multiple bad trips I had recently so much better now! I just couldn't let go and trip. Thank you for this advice!
chew it, don't smoke. the spirit of salvia hates heat which is why smoked experiences often go haywire. the original way of taking salvia leaf is rolled into a quid with some honey and chewed in the mouth for about 20 minutes before spitting it out
Just work your way up, salvia can be harsh but it can show you alot and it doesn't last hours so even if you have a bad trip it will go away quick. I started on 40x then 80x but you could start on 10x but dosage is more important
I can see your psyche improve compared to a few years ago thank you for leading me on this path and thank you for being such a mature human being trying to edutcate the world and making it a better place :)
Speaking strictly on vaped DMT, the best way to not have a bad trip is to keep your eyes closed in complete darkness and silence, no pets in the room, and your phone silenced or OFF. You do NOT want any kind of interruption. The first time I "died" on DMT, it was ALL because I forgot to turn off my phone and close my door. The ring startled me, and the serene trip I was just starting to enjoy turned into a situation where I bolted up in my bed, and didn't even have enough capacity to find, much less silence the phone. The shock of the adrenaline caused me to panic, and I was no longer myself. As I was dealing with my certain death, my cat then came in and jumped on the bed and started meowing. That was the final straw; I was gone. My cat was a demon that had come to claim my soul. I remember trying to turn on my lamp, but there was no way. After a few minutes (seemed like hours), I came back with the demon cat purring away next to me. I checked my phone to see who the hell called in the middle of the night - good ol' "restricted number." Still, I do not believe I've ever had a "bad" trip, on any psychedelic. I have had difficult, unpleasant trips, but in the end I learned from those and look back on them as important life experiences. As much as I enjoyed LSD, I'm no longer into having 6 to 8 hours of intense introspection. As McKenna said, look for compounds that are organic and have centuries of use. I just stick to that rule. Honestly, a breakthrough DMT experience can teach you more in ten minutes than LSD can in ten hours.
Adam, man... I have watched all of your videos over the course of the last 3 years and maybe longer... I loved your content all the time. Yet, what you have been doing during the last 4 or 5 months is just not from this world anymore. You keep hitting the nail on the head. Additionally, these animations are soooo good. It is almost scary to see. Keep up the hard work as long as you enjoy it! You contribute such important content to this world. Thank you for that! Best, ...
I think you need to make a new video about ego death or how to ego death because some people get to scared or they honestly just don’t know how to let go and let the trip get better. Thank you Adam for being a true G :)
Ecdrake he talked some vital ideas in this video about dealing with ego death, how it works and why it happens, just sayin in case you didn’t grasp these parts...
Letting go is so much easier than holding on. I found this out on some insanely powerful Tim Leary acid back in 1990. My dad helped me let go when he realized what was going on with me. He's been through ego death too. That particular trip fundamentally changed how I relate to people. The bubble I kept myself in was popped, and I saw myself from the outside looking in. There's a lot more to the world than just how I saw things.
During a 500ug 1p trip I thought myself to be a completely different person from a different town who also took acid. But instead of good and tested acid I thought that I took the dirtiest, ugliest and worst kind of psychedelic, and was having the worst kind of trip because of it. I was having a bad trip as another person :) Looking back on it, it was a very interesting trip, even though I felt like absolute shit during it xD Oh! and all of this happened later into the trip. For the first 3-4 hours I thought I was an old couple who created and were themselves the universe. But after accidentaly breaking a glass bottle on the floor I started to think about all the things that have to be fixed in the universe and especially on Earth. I went into a spiral of thoughts about all the bad things the humanity has done throughout its existence and felt responsible for all of it. It was a scary place and state to be in, but I haven't had a truly bad trip since, so that's a plus :)
Horrible anxiety from a bad trip I had I didn’t know what I was doing and got ahold of some potent tabs, I’ve tripped more after to try to heal myself and it’s worked a little bit I guess happy tripping y’all be safe.
Phændrith Drægar These kinds of comments dont help. Younger people ( especially men ) think they need to prove people wrong and then go out and have horrible trips because of retarded comments like this. Even if its true, you can find a better way to say " psychedelics arent for everyone " . instead of something like " your weak and cant handle drugs like me and my cool friends ".
Captain ramius Um... That's basically what I said, albeit in a different manner. I'm not encouraging or discouraging anyone from anything. I'm just stating facts. There's nothing "cool" about it. Sorry that it offended you, but the truth stings and often can't be helped :)
I really needed this video these past few weeks, you touched on exactly what my problem was. control. I have been concerned over time because my trips have been becoming steadily more and more malevolent feeling, and dark. It's because I am scared of losing myself. when i first started tripping as a kid I wasn't scared of that really, in fact I welcomed change. very eye opening video. thumbs up from me man.
A good trip isn't really a thing with salvia, but if you keep at it eventually you will breakthrough into "salvia space" where you are greeted by salvia beings who play jokes on you and stretch your body into infinity. Heavy shit. My experience sure wasn't a positive one, but was interesting nonetheless. It felt like I was molested by a plant.
Some very good points made here. I would also like to add that there is an actual scientific term called an "emotional hangover", which is that emotions experienced, especially strong emotions, can linger on after the experience. This means that any experiences you have in a psychedelic experience, which can opens up hidden emotions and multiply them, linger after the experience -like an afterglow. So experiences you have will last for at least a few days. So if a person has an experience, they can be affected by it for a while afterwards. If the trip was fearful and anxiety-ridden, the person may be anxious for some time afterward. It's said that the afterglow from "spiritual" experiences in some psychedelics can last up to a year. Also note that because psychedelics change the brain, and these emotional hangovers can last past the experience, you can still be affected the the drug even after the experience, having the "emotional hangover" for a while afterwards. During the emotional hangover you can still not be "you". You have to be mindful of that fact.
I’m going to do LSD soon and I’ve been researching things you should do to prepare yourself and this video is a great example of what they say you should do to have a good trip. You have the best educational videos so thanks for all these great videos, keep it up!
10:20 i agree 100% with this little skit lmao.. whenever i go into a LSD trip with a amazing mindset or have all the things i need to have an amazing trip i feel like the most badass hippy ever and i literally get excited that im in the " trip zone " and that i can finally think clear
Dude i did 80x salvia when i was 15 im 27 now shit was the craziest 5 minute trip i ever had.. Scary to think you ever got stuck in that trip youd go crAzy, 5 min was enough(however i guess bc i was young and not many problems in the world yet it didnt effect me longterm even short-term for that matter i was just happy to come back too lol).. I hit it out of a bubbler.. Big ass wack and i swear i went into another dimension.. Plz respond lemme know your thoughts..i felt like i was on a downhill railroad and i was endlessly rolling down flipping rolling flipping rolling.. And it was very hot
Same here back in 2004. Shit got really intense and I was being torn apart. Them bam I was in a field with fence and a house In the distance and someone was calling my name. It lasted for like 10 seconds and then that reality went back to repeating patters of torment again.
Was about 2008/age 15 when I broke through. First couple times I just got a big buzz and thought I just wouldn’t react to it like I had read/seen. One day after school I just said fuck it after we smoked some weed and loaded a full big bubbler bowl of 20x and it basically blew my head off and I became connected to the world like there were conveyer belts going through the walls and ceilings off into infinity. Had the song proud to be a stoner playing and the lyrics were changed to “welcome to the world of salvia , your Trippin on salvia “ and it took about two minutes of being completely immersed in the trip before I even remembered I had smoked salvia and that is why it was happening . That’s how far gone it made me . And once all the visual effects stopped I was trying to do basic math like 2+2 and it seemed like the hardest thing . Thought I permanently fucked myself up and would be locked up in a psych ward.
I feel you Adam. I got killed so many times and I lost my kids. I never felt fear like that. I kept hearing voices judge my fears and said how negative I was while I was filled with complete horror of what awful shit that was happening. I think the voices were universal consciousness or maybe just my inner voice always judging things. Even after experienceing this awfulness I still have this want to use psychedelics mostly to help me forget the bad trip. Would it be a bad idea?
Thank you for talking me thru this. Jesus this is one of the hardest lsd trips I’ve had for 12+ hours now but you’re helping me calm down and know everything’s going to be okay. Thank you.
Hey Adam, awesome video! I love to watch your channel and see how you get better each video. The way you talked and explained was just on fire in this one! One recommendation: Change the title/thumbnail to something like "Why you had a bad trip", because that what this video is actually about, the salvia trip is just the example. I think more people would watch it, because a lot of them had a bad trip and want to know why. Anyway, keep going, I love watching you grow! And good luck for your Patreon! I'm proud to be one of them and I hope you will reach your next milestone soon!
Dude most people talk a lot of rubbish about this stuff and have no clue. But yo... you are wise. You have exactly pointed my problems out and I think you are very right with your solutions. The thing is, that you are talking about psychedelics while I am having badtrips or better said I always battle against a bad trip when I smoke fucking weed. The cause for this is, as you correctly said, me trying to keep some of my usual self/me keeping up my functions as I would do sober. I try to maintain control and since Weed changes your perception and also the way you feel , I have a really hard time for the first like 10 minutes. I simply have to accept, that I am not meant to be like when I am sober. I realize, that I must not try to maintain "normality". I will try it on the weekend. This is so weird a few years ago letting go was fine for me. I just wanted to be high really really hard and now even before smoking I am having butterflys in my stomage thinking a lot about it and stuff. I know that are the reasons for my bad trips yet its so difficult to let go. Usually I tell myself when I am high "this is normal, you are on drugs, think about last week how high you were and you still kinda made it" lol. Yet even though I try to relax that way, I still try to keep some of my normal self and that makes my trip horrible in the beginning. This week I will tell myself if I cant simply let go, "that I am not meant to be my usual self. The things that are happening with me right now, are how it is meant to be. Let go and do not try to maintain a piece of your sober self". I can see that it might help since its completely right what you said. Thats exactly how it is. I can see it giving me comfort when I am high. I hope it will work. Of course the perfect way would be, if I did not even need to try to comfort myself by telling myself these things but right after the high kicks in, I start to think about it. Its basically not in my hands to not start to think about it. Maybe after this video I will be able to "defeat" the badtrip right at the start and enjoy it completely. Maybe that might even help me the following times to not even think about all of this stuff anymore and I simply have a great time from the beginning. Thanks man you really know what you are talking about. And sorry for my bad english, its not my first language.
Always when i catch myself thinking at the start of a trip, Oh no, what have i done, i should not do this, i always stop myself thinking why the fuck should i not do this. Im having a great time trying to create nice memorys with my friends. And that always helps in sense. They way society sees drugs is usually implanted in our minds and that is what creates these bad thoughts that i am doing something i should not do. But when you realize what it really is, its nothing to feel bad over. Have a great day whomever is reading this :)
I had a similar experience on salvia 20x. I completely forgot all my memories, my set, and my friends. Every image was visually distorted and I fell on the ground and was rolling around. My friends were scared but they helped me out and I'm happy for them to do that for me. Even though I had this ego death I was ready to accept the drug. I had a overall good experience but I did get a little afraid afterwards because I had never experienced this feeling before. Never before had I lost my sense of reality. I think it has brought out questions about religion, the universe, time, perception, reality, and our own existence. All of these I once had extremely solid views on my mind. Now I have doubts on a lot of those things. This may seem like a bad thing but I welcome these changes. I am a smart person and I love allowing my mind to think deeply. I feel salvia in particular has permanently improved my brain in a sense. Now my creativity and closed eye visual memories are much more heightened and whenever I smoke weed i went from having a chill trip of just having fun and laughing to being able to think super deep and get crazy movie like closed eye visuals and even some open eye distortions. Overall although salvia can be super scary if you don't have the right mindset of letting go of yourself before going in, if you are ready it can be a positive change. Just make sure you are ready because I have seen a lot of my friends have bad trips on salvia.
I had a really bad trip, I ate ape shrooms chocolate and severally underestimated their strength. I violently vomited chocolate all over my bed and pissed myself on the floor at some point. I truly believed I was going to die and I fell into a panic because every time I moved reality just kept folding in on itself. I somehow managed to call a friend and get support, thank goodness, but the next three hours I spent writhing in pain and terrified because I had an unexpected PTSD episode. I know I'll laugh about it soon enough, but that shit was intense
My first few trips with mushrooms and LSD were amazing. After that it was constant 4-8 hours of constant anxiety, climbing the walls, going insane and screaming for no reason, which was why I stopped.
I was also going through a twin flame separation at the time (not sure if TFs are real but it's the only thing that accurately describes what I was going through.)
as a person who has not ever tripped on anything before, how are you really supposed to know if you can or can not handle ego death but want to try tripping for various reasons.
I have a question, I took magic mushrooms about a week ago and I had the worst trip of my life. I literally felt paranoia and anxiety for the whole trip but I then felt better after 2 hours of the trip but the next day I had another panic attack that lasted the whole day. I've been like that for a few days and I started taking antidepressants for the anxiety and panic attacks. I've been feeling a lot better but I just want to go back to my original life without taking meds. Will this feeling end?
Robert Pash you probably need to get use to it. I know that’s not the answer you want to hear but these drugs can caused permanent changes in your brain. I’ve had derealization/ panic attacks for about six years now after a bad trip. I had no history of mental illness in my family.
some members of the psychedelic community are skeptical of medication but Zoloft has been super helpful for me. i had extreme anxiety for a few months after a difficult trip but i promise you it does fade!
I had a very traumatic trip where I died and was literally reborn out of a cosmic birth canal where I felt like I was traveling at the speed of light. But for some reason I was totally fine the next day. No PTSD at all.
I'm scared to use pyschedelics because of what I read about them. Afraid I won't be able to handle it. People say that's not a good mindset for taking them, so don't know if I ever will even though I really want to. I want to take them for all their benefits and the experience.
Shrooms are the best thing to try if you’re gonna. And don’t start with a high dose. Be with someone you’re very comfortable with and can be your true self around and in a familiar place that you feel safest.
Don’t take it if you’re nervous about it, tripping can be a wonderful experience with the right mind set going in, and right environment. I had a great trip but now I deal w anxiety on a daily basis so I wouldn’t do it now, knowing how quick you can go from a good trip to a bad trip.

While peaking on shrooms I did actually come to realize and think to myself, “different parts of my brain are communicating with areas they usually wouldn’t, my brain is functioning differently, nothing to worry about and it’ll be okay”
More power to you dude. Ain’t no way I would’ve ever come to that conclusion when I was peaking
That sounds terrify to me ngl
That’s the exact same thing I said to myself while peaking and having ego death. That’s really cool to see people who have such similar experiences.

I heard Adam from this video in my head while I was coming down from a 4.5g shroom trip. I wish my trip had been more intense tho. It definitely made a lot of sense while I was coming down.

I have a motto on psychedelics; 'ride the wave' - you know i'm no massive bloke, acid hits me like an 18 wheeler but because I remember to 'ride the wave' I stay calm. It's not like i'll remember much else, but if you think of the drug as a wave you have elected to surf upon, you don't know what it'll do but you'll be fine as long as you just keep going with it.
Shannon i Tell myself to sit back and enjoy the ride when its getting intense while tripping. It always works for me.
@The Outdoors The pit being a feeling of doom or anxiety? How you doing now?
@The Outdoors All good man, I hate to think of anyone else having panic attacks because they are so horrible and no one deserves to suffer like that! I think I might know what you mean by CEV's, when I've been having a bout of panic attacks (usually lasts a couple of months) my head is so fucked up from all the fear that when I close me eyes (like to go to sleep) I see heaps of real vivid horrible shit like monsters, demons and dismembered bodies! During one period like 7 years ago I basically had to trick myself to go to sleep. What I'd do is leave the light on and listen to an audio book until I fell asleep. Like I'd tell myself that I'm not going to sleep I'm just going to listen to an audio book really late at night haha.
TL;DR Basically I had to sleep with the light on for 3 months hahahahaha.
@The Outdoors damn you dont regret not riding out the trip? I keep xans on me now but I've never had to use them
@The Outdoors did the xanax completely kill the trip? I've heard it will make u feel sober but wont remove any of the visuals

Anyone ever feel trapped in there brain when the realization sets in that every experience is within ur brain , the outside world never really exists it’s just your senses processing it within your brain then panic sets in and in the moment you think you “broke your mind” scariest feeling ever
I dunno, to me it feels as if my "Cage" breaks and now infront of me is the jungle (scary), but fear not if you just let go you get to paradise?
I had that but I didn't find it scary, really beautiful actually
THATS EXACTLYY what i felt on my shrooms trip. i was trying to explain that to my friends but did not know the words to even barely describe it. that ruined my life... how r u feeling now after months of that?
@OG Smokin literally like everyday of my life i think to myself "what is this world what is this life" and its makin me go crazy. i keep thinking to myself every night whats gonna happen when i die. even when i smoke weed i just start going back into the trip a little bit it fucked me up
I love it! All in my cosy skull.

If you have bad trips then go to 9:55 in the video and listen closely and carefully. This goes for everyone and especially people who have control issues, you cant take a psychedelic and try to control it and hold on. You have to let go and let it take over your body. When you do this and know ahead of time that you have to do this then you will never have a bad trip. Every time I've taken a psychedelic and used this method i have never experienced a bad trip. The only time that i have had a bad trip is when i tried to control it and make it go away but about halfway through the trip i realized i needed to let go and almost instantaneously the trip got 110 times better
the problem is that i don't know how to let go, i really don't. that's why i won't take acid until i learn how to let go
@@marshmallowjuice1699 imagine everything in your entire life and everything built up to now is going to disappear. Let go of it all momentarily, it's gone. At least on DMT it's like that very quickly, low doses of acid you wont really need a "let go" it would typically be just strong enough to feel it and enjoy the effects without the mindfuck and otherworldly egodeath shit lol
Tranquilizers.
this comment can help so many people out.
Anyone else feel a really wierd rush in your head when you accept the trip?
Thank you for making this! I had a really traumatic trip a few years ago and it drove me into a almost inescapable depression. It's very reassuring to hear other people's experience.
you should read for audible for extra revenue
just randomly looked through the comments and checked your channel - i usually never do that

@sapere thanks! I have been working with exotics over 20 years now! Thanks for checking out my channel. Finally got my youtube award too, slowly climbing my way to the top but then getting kicked back down by RUclips's algorithm one day at a time.

I had a bad trip from LSD awhile ago and I didn't know how to feel. I'm glad you produce stuff like this. It's helped me heal and become a stronger person in the end. Personally, thank you
Thanks Adam! I've been looking for a way to make sense of my traumatic trips in a rational way. Your explanation really helps
I vividly remember when I was on shrooms, tripping with my friend, and I approach her, looking like I'm tweaking, grab her shoulder and go "dude I think I broke something. like in my brain. i broke my brain. what if i never get it back?" and she goes "dude you're just having a bad trip" and until she said that i didn't even think of it as a bad trip, i just thought about it as a trip. after that i felt so much better, still awful and terrified, but i realized that many tripping people felt how i felt and that id come out of it.
I got an ad! Imma watch it whole. Also a Patron. The ad is about vegetables. She just cut a dragon fruit. Oh damn, she put all the stuff in a blender! Now she made tasty juices! The ad was about eating healthy. Now the video is starting, bye.
I GOT A MID ROLL AD! But this one wasm't pleasant, it was about trading on a website and some wanna be archer shot a bullseye, but he didn't even anchor his right hand correctly, also his release was god-awful lol what a loser

I GOT AN AD TOO
someone shot up youtube, what do u expect
Mine was an advanced dental professionals ad. Watched the whole thing
Ok so, note to self, NEVER watch these videos while actually tripping, it scared the living shit out of me TWICE xd
On another note, watching it sober.. is hilarious :D
Damn dude, yeah that is a thing. I honestly can only watch cartoons when tripping, like not even Rick and Morty type cartoons, I mean like Johnny Bravo type cartoons lol.
@@gensaikawakami341 rick and morty looks like it would be scary while tripping from all the gore and stuff

Hey man thanks for answering my question it means a lot to me =D
So you know its me I also talked about weed paranoia in my message.
But people please please know what your getting into with salvia. It is NOT a good first time experience it is very potent. You may think "oh it'll only last for fifteen minutes" trust me it feels like wayyyy longer. For me personally it felt like I was in that state for 6 hours or so (it was hard to tell though since I didn't understand the concept of time for awhile) so please have a trip sitter, know what your getting into, mentally prepare yourself, and do not start out with a concentrate like I did. Get the actual plant or go down as low as you possibly can for the concentrate.
CorvusBlood I have weed paranoia coming off of it it’s weird but it’s possible if you do it to much
Yes its not for everybody. But don't assume everyone will be scared like you were. In my experience, my first time with x20, well lets just say it was amazing and lovely. ofc I had challenging ones ahead of that. its a psychological drama, and consciousness has nothing to do with psychology.
Robert King one of the definitions of consciousness is the fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world.
It has everything to do with psychology. Psychology is how the human mind works and being conscious is a very fundamental part of it working. When I experienced full ego death I wasn't a functional human being by any standards. I wasn't aware of anything really myself, the world, I didn't know what anything was. I wasn't sure if I existed or if the world really existed.
As for salvia the reason why it is so unique other than the fact that it only really effects the kappa opioid receptor. Is the fact that it gives mostly unique experiences to each user. So yes you are very capable of having a good trip on salvia but its really like a roulette you dont know what exactly is going to happen especially the first time or even the second time.
I dont blame myself one bit for being scared though i mean who wouldnt being reborn into a world where you dont know who you are what reality is or that you took a substance and this new world never stays the same for more than five seconds. I mean that instant ego death would scare anybody honestly.
My point remains the same though make sure you prepare yourself for the mental fucking your about to receive because you never know if your going to get the shitty hand on the salvia roulette wheel.
I swan dived into a lile of rock when i came out of my trip. I exited this reality. Worst experience ever
CorvusBlood I understand completely what you say, I just dived deep into this osho thing. For me as long as you see the world through your mind that is part of the unconscious. There are two ways of raising your hand, consciously and unconsciously and only the latter is strictly through the mind. Anyway have a good day :)
Its nice to listen to someone who really understands. You truly can't remind yourself of things during the experience.

Once I forgot HOW to think on Saliva. Wasn't pleasant.
yeah at that point the only thing you understand is that you dont understand.
Well, either you just though you forgot how to think or you achieved what every meditation practicioner is trying to accomplish. Look at it from the good side, never took Salvia, but I think with almost all the drugs the mindset changes everything.
That happens to me on high doses of mushrooms or when i ingest them every few hours to have a long trip.
Bas Fanken lmao truth
Felt like that after a few volcanoes of strong weed. Not a problem, everything passes ✌🏾
I love Alex Grey's Net of Being! It's definitely my favorite painting, well, ever. It has a way of speaking to you.
I never got used to salvia. I just jumped right into 60x smoke every time. I can enter calm but never comforting. It makes me always and never failing to never want to do it anymore
I love this channel. It’s really given me a new respect for all substances and made me realise how important it is to have sufficient information before experimenting with something new. There’s too much stigma surrounding anything drug related, Your channels a perfect example of that. Even though you don’t promote drug use whatsoever you’re still not considered “advertiser friendly” The content you upload has far greater value than the majority of other RUclipsrs. The way you give an unbiased perspective is the perfect way to get information across without alienating either side of the spectrum. This is the way all schools and educators should approach the topic rather than programs like “Dare” which just demonize everything to an obviously exaggerated extent putting off anyone who doesn’t already share a negative opinion about substances. It also makes drug education entertaining, even though I found your channel looking to find information about Adderall and other DR-DP medication it’s sparked my interest and even made me want to learn about substances I have no interest in trying and never will just out of curiosity. This was supposed to be a short comment.. but apparently I wrote a book by accident. Anyway keep it up! Your content shares much needed information👌🏻
Yesterday 5.5g mushroom trip. First time I ever did that much.
I died. over and over. It was terrifying. literately felt like I physically died. At first I fought it but eventually i realized that I had bought the ticket and had to take the ride, so I laid down and turned into not much more than a rock - a rock with vague awareness but no self.
The only things I could sense was my breath, which was shallow. My body would only let me breath as much as it needed to to not totally die physically. I couldn't control it but I was grateful for my breath. All i could see was the fractals, which seemed like they were taunting me. I didn't want to see them anymore but they were almost telling me that I chose this so I must endure it. All I could hear was a bird chirping outside. I couldn't think about it. I couldn't cognitively think that that is the sound of a bird, but I was grateful for that connection to nature.... grateful without thought, I wasn't allowed to think... so hard to describe.
Traumatic and peaceful at the same time. Death came over and over again in waves. I was so happy when ordinary consciousness came back! So grateful to be alive and to be human!
Yeah dude, I completely understand this! I did 6.5 grams of psilocybe cubenis and yeah, it feels like u die over and over. I had a terrible time for a while but then, I was able to let go. It was difficult, but once I did, I was at complete peace. Everything was perfect. I felt like I was everything at once. During the bad part of the trip I felt as though the shrooms were like.. telling me "its okay, let go" and I finally was able to and again, it was incredible.
@@disc.3417 I'm doing 5 sometime within this next week. They're golden teachers, so I hear they are a little " lighter " if that's the right word. I did an eighth last time and had a great trip. Looking forward to this 5g one.
William Ives yess! Have fun and safe tripping. that 6.5 one I did rlly knocked me on my ass and showed me that I shouldn’t mess around with psychs. Previous to the trip I have done many before and everytime it was just fun, and the 6.5 trip rlly showed me how horrible it can be, but I learned a lot. It was like once I understood what it was trying to teach me, it gave me peace I guess lol.
@@disc.3417 ended up doing it last night. It was intense as a mother fucker. It was really enlightening though

From the get go my aim was for each psychedelic experience to be therapeutic. Acknowledged that I might see things I don't want to see, and prepared myself to be broken down to decide how I wanted to be built up, "remade" if you want to call it that. Like a reset switch; defragging the drive etc...
Carl Rogers said that the first step to positive therapeutic experiences is to be willing, and in doing so willing to be vulnerable. There's a reason why so many religions emphasize humility and willingness to be vulnerable in the face of perceived danger.
Thank you Adam for all the info you shared with us through this channel. You have no idea just how much it has helped me!
This video is exactly what I needed at this point, I'm taking a high dose in 3 days and the last time I went on a high dose trip I had a terrifying time. These are the things I wanted and needed to hear.
I already had the pleasure of trying 2CB, LSD (1P-LSD, AL-LAD, 1A-LSD [ALD52]) and even DMT for several times and I had seen some of my friends, experience a bad trip or having a hard time, whilst tripping with them most of the times.
Even when I first got introduced into LSD, I always managed to keep my cool and just let go, instead of fighting whatever the LSD is trying to show me. After approximately 40+ LSD trips, and some 2CB trips in between, I had the chance of getting some DMT and I took this chance. I only had 250MG of Freebase DMT, and I dissolved it into a liquid in order to smoke it through an e-cig (and it worked well btw.). I chose to consume it in that way, as it is way easier to take a small dose of the DMT, so that I could first get familiar with it. My very first time trying the DMT was very interesting, cause I was taking my first hit, felt nothing, took another, a third one, and still felt nothing. I thought that maybe I did something wrong with the DMT. And after like 20 seconds of my first hit, IT HIT ME LIKE A ROCK. I felt a rush going from my feet, all the way up to my head in less than a second, and it felt so unique that I had no idea what to think of it (Note that it was still a small dose, I was fully aware of my surroundings). It felt like I was on acid but it didn't feel like time was passing slowly, everything was going so fast all of a sudden. All edges and corners had duplicates of themselves and they started to wiggle like crazy, colors were a lot brighter and the TV was the weirdest out of all this experience. I wasn't really paying attention to the TV and the sound was off anyways, but whilst I was on DMT, suddenly the Simpsons came up. And when I looked at the TV, it felt A LOT MORE cartoonish than it usually would, like a disney cartoon from the 50s or something. It kinda freaked me out, so I decided to look away from it and look around the room. The walls or ceiling for example started to morph aswell and I could even see figures on the walls and patterns, they felt like paintings and it felt like a story was being told on that wall (weird to explain) so I examined it till the DMT finally wore off.
I tried a few low dosages later again, but they weren't as crazy as the first time, since I was already kinda familiar with it.
I also combined DMT on an acid trip and THAT was by far the most psychedelic experience, that I ever had!
I felt like I got all the answers that I needed during the experience, but after the DMT started to wear off, I almost forgot all of it again.
I already wrote too much.. I might continue if someone wants me to. Have a great day. :)
that was an interesting read, I'd like to hear more
Dude you gotta continue!
Honestly that whole situation is almost identical to the way I go ab psychs done acid 20+(mainly high doses) shrooms 60+ and a lot of lsd analogues/pro drugs. I just recently ordered 500mg of dmt very excited to try it by the way I'm just curious what age were you when you did dmt. I'm 16 atm.
Alright I'll share my experience in which I was on LSD and DMT.
A friend and I decided to take 150ug of LSD at his house.
We had everything set up so that it would be as comfy as possible for the both of us.
The whole room had no lights on, just some LED's that changed colors.
We both had our own trips, I was either listening to music or just trying to close my eyes and see where my thoughts would take me. He was on his PC, listening to music and talking to some random people online for fun.
After like 2-3 hours we were peaking hard, so we decided to smoke some of the DMT that I took with me, cause we were both curious about the effects when you combine these two substances together.
I was the first to go for it. I took a hit (I took huge hits that would fill my whole lung), held it in for 15-20 seconds, exhaled, and repeated that for several times. My whole perceiving of this world (which was currently on LSD-Mode) changed into something even weirder that I barely can explain to myself. I started to look towards the closet which was in the middle of the room, and as I was looking at it, everything around it just disappeared. It looked like as if one was staring into the starry sky, but the closet was still there. As I was looking at it, I still continued to take hits of the DMT (I didn't even realize that to be honest, I just kept going and going). The LED lights played a huge role in that experience for me, cause this whole starry sky started to change colors. I was still looking at the exact same spot on that closet, I just couldn't get my eyes off of it for some reason. The closet started to morph and bend like crazy all of a sudden. It looked like snake movement if I would put it into words. I started to hear a weird noise which was like a high pitch playing in the background, and like a helicopter or airplane flying in the distance, or some sort of machinery. It was very weird cause I had only heard of people hearing such things when they're about to breakthrough, and it was my very first time. Anyways, in this whole space like athmosphere that I was in, there were suddenly some grins/mouths popping up, like from that cat from Alice in Wonderland. And geometric shapes started to appear aswell, and these shapes had even more geometric shapes in them, they seemed infinite. I sadly can't remember what these shapes really looked like, I guess it was too much information for my brain to handle. During that whole experience I was very amazed by what the DMT had shown me. My friend told me that I kept saying: "WOOOW! WTF!" and laughed as joyful as one could think of, I can't really remember that to be honest. What I do remember is, as the experience was coming to it's end, I finally got my eyes off the closet and started to look at both my hands. My whole body felt so disconnected but I still could move them. I looked at them and thought to myself: "What are those? Who controls these things? Am I some sort of being?"
My ego died in less than a few seconds and I didn't even realize that.
After the DMT had worn off, I started to come back to my LSD trip, which had changed signficantly!
During the rest of my LSD trip, I had the most aggressive visual patterns one could think of. It was really tiring at the end of the day and I just wanted to sleep and rest at some point.
Cause even with a fully darkened room, and closed eyes, it felt like I was in some sort of lasershow festival, but luckily, when I finally managed to fall asleep, I woke up refreshed and well on the next day. :)
I am 100% certain that I had seen so many more things during that experience, but I just can't reach these memories for some reason. In the span of 6 months I kept thinking about it and managed to remember more and more of it.
Note that I had my eyes open during that whole experience.
I don't really feel the need to take DMT again to be honest.
Maybe someday I'll try to go for a full blown breakthrough, without any other substances.
Deso97 ik honestly it probably is lol but I haven't had anything negative happen to the way I think nor on my outlook on life
Thanks Adam, this video was a huge help. Underwent extreme psychedelic trauma after a violent psychotic episode with my best friend. This video definitely relates with me
A good upcoming video you should do is : life after ego death.
what is ego death exactly?..
That would be cool my friend first time took 9 shrooms and went into a loop
Yesterday I took some hwbr seeds, only 5. Chewed them whole as I didn't experience nause the last time I took them. Went out to my friends house where I met few of our mutual friends.
We had fun but I noticed that I was feeling increasingly more sick. It wasn't -or at least I think it wasn't- nausea. That kind of feeling when you get when a flu is about to come on. At this point I was tired and not feeling so good, so I began to plan my road to home. That was until our posse decides to go smoke some weed. I thought, "that could actually help" and so we went.
We were outside, and smoked. I didn't plan to take such a big hit from the bong and at that moment I knew, "shit, I'm gonna be high off my tits". We talked a bit and I parted ways with my friends and off to the train station I went.
Now, usually when I'm high I like to watch stupid youtube videos, watch netflix or listen to music. I remember standing at the train station and scrolling my youtube feed for videos. And all of a sudden I felt something. I didn't want to watch any videos, all of them felt somehow really ridiculous, I can't explain this feeling. It was like I and I alone knew everything that ever happened or that will ever happen. So I decided to take a stroll around the train station as i had 20 mins time to kill (the train was late cause the tracs were being cleaned or something). Whilst walking I had this feeling like I was reliving this moment. This has only happened to me once whilst smoking weed with my gf. It was terrifying. My heart started to pound and my breathing intensified. I was stuck in a never ending loop of reliving that exact moment of my life again and again. Now, I have some experience with anxiety attacks and I know how to deal with them so I sat down took huge gulp of air and relaxed. I ended up reading a book.
In the train I felt dissociated from reality. It was late (01:10 or 1:10am(?)) but the train was far from empty. I felt like everyone else is living their lives, going home from work or from party, but I. I sat in a bench, looking out from a window, being stuck in this moment. I nearly missed my stop.
Now the hell begins. It was a familiar trainstation, but I allways confuses which exit was the right one. In that state of mind which I was in, I was super confused. The darkness didn't help either. After walking few minutes in circles I finally figured out the right exit and began to walk towards it. I walked and walked, never quite gettimg to the exit. It felt as if many minutes had passed as I walked through the station. Then it hit me. I had died. I was dead and thats why I never got to my exit. I had died, not sure where I died but I convinced that I was dead. I began to seriously panic and tried to focuse on things I knew were real.That was when I realized, nothing is actually real, becouse I had died, how could have I died I had so much to except from life. I was mad that I allowed myself to die.
Eventually I reached the exit. And that is where one of my most spiritual walk began. See I have studied shamanism, particulary shamanism practiced by Sámi people. They are "native" inhabitants of northern Europe. Northern Sweden, northern Norway and Finland. I met my spirit guide and has conversations with spirits. They told me everytihing is alright, so I relaxed a bit. Until I reached my house. I went straight to bed but sleep never came. Suddently I was back in my "I am dead" nightmare. I figured out it might be ego death so I launched to this nightmare. And I can't explain the things I felt. It was pure terror and heavenly bliss at the same time. For brief time I sae everything and it was all so clear. All so clear. I was the universe.
Afterwords
My native language isn't english and I wrote this with my phone no excuse me for any errors. And I understand propably noone is going to read this. I just needed to get this out of my head and writing about things has worked in the past. I am also sorry if my text is hard to follow, my thoughts haven't setteled yet so it is hard to write about this. All and all, it was not a bad trip, it was a hard trip. Now it just feels as vague as a dream.
Very intense man! I thought I had died once, very scary stuff.
Crazy story. Glad you're ok
it seems like all salvia trips are bad trips
I've had the most beautiful and uplifting experiences chewing fresh salvia leaves.
I have done around 10 salvia trips and I have never had a bad experience. Perhaps I am just in this happy state of mind recently and I knew what I was getting into. I have had ego death but I welcomed it and it was very interesting. It made me think of the universe differently and I would say is a positive experience because it increased my everyday creativity and deep thinking capabilities.
Yeah it honestly doesn’t seem worth trying it to be honest
Salvia is a tool and not for fun
Salvia is nasty...do lsd or mushrooms instead
I've always been paying a lot of respect for psychedelics but this video and more of your videos helped me plan my trip next summer back in my home country. I will take my time to work on myself and be in a good social spot in order to feel really normal before feeling realllyyy unnormal
No video you've ever done, helped me the way this did. Shouts to you man
Hey man you're telling deep truth here - it's really good advice. Because not only on a psychedelic trip but actually throughout the trip of life what your body is perceiving is changing constantly so your mind does so your "sense of self" does. That's why we shouldn't retain but let the change happen. It happens anyway i guess.
Long story short. You think you're never going to get your memory back that causes a panic attack and causes the bad trip.
Wonderfully explained as always!
broski got tha ads now nice work keep it up
most important thing is to let go, let it happen, and have a location with water that you can isolate yourself to in case of an emergency.
I just did salvia last night for the first time and I watched one of your older salvia videos an hour ago. Weird you posted a new one haha
Fubbly that is super trip
coincidence? :D
Synchronicity
you are still tripping
everything is connected mate
Adam, your videos are absolutley amazing man, I love all your videos and am so happy you got ads on this video. Your teaching us and we should pay back, I watch allllll your videos and you have inspired me to go deeper into psychedelics and other drugs as well. Your amazing and deserve so much more back from us for giving us all this knowledge, I love your videos man, thank you for influencing my thoughts on the world and informing me on things I thought once were a bad thing that wouldn't have any particular interest to me, now I am so interested in drugs such as dissociatives, and hallucinegentics. You have completely changed my perception on the world and consciousness itself, I love you keep up the good work man!
"Unless your brains in a different formation. You get It?"
-yes daddy ♡
Incredible content. 25 years ago, I tripped that I was dead. It confused the hell out of me, and was obviously scary. I never considered that I HAD actually died as mentioned in your video. My setting was shit, and we were watching the movie LEGEND, which is about good, evil and the devil. This was with 3 girls and I on Valentines day. Life changing weirdness....but I think you hit the nail on the head. Those, including myself whose reality is so strongly based on ego are usually going to have a rough time.......unless we can relax and go with it. So difficult for some, including myself once thinking and ego are muted. Thanks for the videos, I had nothing to research my experience 25 years ago.
Let's get this man an animator
thankyou, I had a bad trip last night and this video has made me realise that it occurred because I wasn't prepared for any feeling of loss of ego, which sent me into a panic, inducing intense paranoia and sending me into a temporary psychotic acid loop. thankyou, I now know to prepare for idea of ego loss if I want to do acid again, I need to be mentally ready for the risk of ego death that psychedelics bring, thankyou.
"I wander what sound would smell like?…" My friend and I wondered the same thing earlier
Rewatching this video after having a few trips under my belt is really relaxing. I've been using LSD and shrooms as a way to escape myself and it's exactly as you said: liberating. Those few hours of whimsy and amazement are some of my favorite moments in life and that distance helped me take myself less seriously. Psychodelics have truly changed my life for the better
Hear that birding chriping? Yeah you can taste that
Interesting stuff! Your channel has introduced me to the beautiful, yet challenging world of psychedelics. Interestingly enough, I used your channel as an example of drug education done right in one of my college essays about psychedelics' potential medical uses. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos!
BuffSubstance
Dude... smartest man ever. You put it so perfectly and made it so clear. I understand multiple bad trips I had recently so much better now! I just couldn't let go and trip. Thank you for this advice!
I'm curious with Salvia but it makes me a bit nervous. I probably won't try it though I've heard a lot of bad things about it.
chew it, don't smoke. the spirit of salvia hates heat which is why smoked experiences often go haywire. the original way of taking salvia leaf is rolled into a quid with some honey and chewed in the mouth for about 20 minutes before spitting it out
Carl Textor explain how you know this, just curious
Just work your way up, salvia can be harsh but it can show you alot and it doesn't last hours so even if you have a bad trip it will go away quick. I started on 40x then 80x but you could start on 10x but dosage is more important
it is a selective substance like dmt, youll never know if your fit to join the club until you try it
20mg of 10x is a pretty good starting dose
I can see your psyche improve compared to a few years ago thank you for leading me on this path and thank you for being such a mature human being trying to edutcate the world and making it a better place :)
wow... If he keeps creating amazing content like this my guess is that he will reach 2 mill before next year
Speaking strictly on vaped DMT, the best way to not have a bad trip is to keep your eyes closed in complete darkness and silence, no pets in the room, and your phone silenced or OFF. You do NOT want any kind of interruption. The first time I "died" on DMT, it was ALL because I forgot to turn off my phone and close my door.
The ring startled me, and the serene trip I was just starting to enjoy turned into a situation where I bolted up in my bed, and didn't even have enough capacity to find, much less silence the phone. The shock of the adrenaline caused me to panic, and I was no longer myself. As I was dealing with my certain death, my cat then came in and jumped on the bed and started meowing. That was the final straw; I was gone. My cat was a demon that had come to claim my soul. I remember trying to turn on my lamp, but there was no way. After a few minutes (seemed like hours), I came back with the demon cat purring away next to me. I checked my phone to see who the hell called in the middle of the night - good ol' "restricted number."
Still, I do not believe I've ever had a "bad" trip, on any psychedelic. I have had difficult, unpleasant trips, but in the end I learned from those and look back on them as important life experiences. As much as I enjoyed LSD, I'm no longer into having 6 to 8 hours of intense introspection. As McKenna said, look for compounds that are organic and have centuries of use. I just stick to that rule. Honestly, a breakthrough DMT experience can teach you more in ten minutes than LSD can in ten hours.
11:54 me on my first acid trip
Adam, man... I have watched all of your videos over the course of the last 3 years and maybe longer... I loved your content all the time. Yet, what you have been doing during the last 4 or 5 months is just not from this world anymore. You keep hitting the nail on the head. Additionally, these animations are soooo good. It is almost scary to see. Keep up the hard work as long as you enjoy it! You contribute such important content to this world. Thank you for that!
Best, ...
I think you need to make a new video about ego death or how to ego death because some people get to scared or they honestly just don’t know how to let go and let the trip get better. Thank you Adam for being a true G :)
Ecdrake he talked some vital ideas in this video about dealing with ego death, how it works and why it happens, just sayin in case you didn’t grasp these parts...
Letting go is so much easier than holding on. I found this out on some insanely powerful Tim Leary acid back in 1990. My dad helped me let go when he realized what was going on with me. He's been through ego death too. That particular trip fundamentally changed how I relate to people. The bubble I kept myself in was popped, and I saw myself from the outside looking in. There's a lot more to the world than just how I saw things.
During a 500ug 1p trip I thought myself to be a completely different person from a different town who also took acid. But instead of good and tested acid I thought that I took the dirtiest, ugliest and worst kind of psychedelic, and was having the worst kind of trip because of it. I was having a bad trip as another person :) Looking back on it, it was a very interesting trip, even though I felt like absolute shit during it xD
Oh! and all of this happened later into the trip. For the first 3-4 hours I thought I was an old couple who created and were themselves the universe. But after accidentaly breaking a glass bottle on the floor I started to think about all the things that have to be fixed in the universe and especially on Earth. I went into a spiral of thoughts about all the bad things the humanity has done throughout its existence and felt responsible for all of it. It was a scary place and state to be in, but I haven't had a truly bad trip since, so that's a plus :)
Horrible anxiety from a bad trip I had I didn’t know what I was doing and got ahold of some potent tabs, I’ve tripped more after to try to heal myself and it’s worked a little bit I guess happy tripping y’all be safe.
Your such a genius about this stuff, shouldve watched this video beforehand lmao i was not prepared
this video is so so so important. thank you for verbalizing this in a way that is cohesive. You are an absolute bloody legend .
Psychedelics are not for those who are frail of mind- especially salvia.
And not all are frail, nor are all strong always as such.
Phændrith Drægar
These kinds of comments dont help.
Younger people ( especially men ) think they need to prove people wrong and then go out and have horrible trips because of retarded comments like this. Even if its true, you can find a better way to say " psychedelics arent for everyone " . instead of something like " your weak and cant handle drugs like me and my cool friends ".
Captain ramius Um... That's basically what I said, albeit in a different manner.
I'm not encouraging or discouraging anyone from anything. I'm just stating facts. There's nothing "cool" about it.
Sorry that it offended you, but the truth stings and often can't be helped :)
I really needed this video these past few weeks, you touched on exactly what my problem was. control. I have been concerned over time because my trips have been becoming steadily more and more malevolent feeling, and dark. It's because I am scared of losing myself. when i first started tripping as a kid I wasn't scared of that really, in fact I welcomed change. very eye opening video. thumbs up from me man.
A good trip isn't really a thing with salvia, but if you keep at it eventually you will breakthrough into "salvia space" where you are greeted by salvia beings who play jokes on you and stretch your body into infinity. Heavy shit. My experience sure wasn't a positive one, but was interesting nonetheless. It felt like I was molested by a plant.
Some very good points made here. I would also like to add that there is an actual scientific term called an "emotional hangover", which is that emotions experienced, especially strong emotions, can linger on after the experience. This means that any experiences you have in a psychedelic experience, which can opens up hidden emotions and multiply them, linger after the experience -like an afterglow. So experiences you have will last for at least a few days. So if a person has an experience, they can be affected by it for a while afterwards. If the trip was fearful and anxiety-ridden, the person may be anxious for some time afterward.
It's said that the afterglow from "spiritual" experiences in some psychedelics can last up to a year. Also note that because psychedelics change the brain, and these emotional hangovers can last past the experience, you can still be affected the the drug even after the experience, having the "emotional hangover" for a while afterwards. During the emotional hangover you can still not be "you". You have to be mindful of that fact.
*Dude you're swole*
vapelordtony traps?
AnabolicSubstances
Ikr... isn’t he HAWT
Chubby boi.
I’m going to do LSD soon and I’ve been researching things you should do to prepare yourself and this video is a great example of what they say you should do to have a good trip. You have the best educational videos so thanks for all these great videos, keep it up!
This really helped the way I looked at tripping man, especially as someone who thought he had a good grasp on tripping. Cheers :D
10:20 i agree 100% with this little skit lmao.. whenever i go into a LSD trip with a amazing mindset or have all the things i need to have an amazing trip i feel like the most badass hippy ever and i literally get excited that im in the " trip zone " and that i can finally think clear
Dude i did 80x salvia when i was 15 im 27 now shit was the craziest 5 minute trip i ever had.. Scary to think you ever got stuck in that trip youd go crAzy, 5 min was enough(however i guess bc i was young and not many problems in the world yet it didnt effect me longterm even short-term for that matter i was just happy to come back too lol).. I hit it out of a bubbler.. Big ass wack and i swear i went into another dimension.. Plz respond lemme know your thoughts..i felt like i was on a downhill railroad and i was endlessly rolling down flipping rolling flipping rolling.. And it was very hot
Same here back in 2004. Shit got really intense and I was being torn apart. Them bam I was in a field with fence and a house In the distance and someone was calling my name. It lasted for like 10 seconds and then that reality went back to repeating patters of torment again.
Question What You Fear exacyly it was just an endless pattern of repeat..
Was about 2008/age 15 when I broke through. First couple times I just got a big buzz and thought I just wouldn’t react to it like I had read/seen.
One day after school I just said fuck it after we smoked some weed and loaded a full big bubbler bowl of 20x and it basically blew my head off and I became connected to the world like there were conveyer belts going through the walls and ceilings off into infinity. Had the song proud to be a stoner playing and the lyrics were changed to “welcome to the world of salvia , your Trippin on salvia “ and it took about two minutes of being completely immersed in the trip before I even remembered I had smoked salvia and that is why it was happening . That’s how far gone it made me .
And once all the visual effects stopped I was trying to do basic math like 2+2 and it seemed like the hardest thing . Thought I permanently fucked myself up and would be locked up in a psych ward.
Do try DMT
I feel you Adam. I got killed so many times and I lost my kids. I never felt fear like that. I kept hearing voices judge my fears and said how negative I was while I was filled with complete horror of what awful shit that was happening. I think the voices were universal consciousness or maybe just my inner voice always judging things. Even after experienceing this awfulness I still have this want to use psychedelics mostly to help me forget the bad trip. Would it be a bad idea?
man, you are awesome, I have nothing more to say, just continue making this content, that is amazing
much love
Thank you for talking me thru this. Jesus this is one of the hardest lsd trips I’ve had for 12+ hours now but you’re helping me calm down and know everything’s going to be okay. Thank you.
Hey Adam, awesome video! I love to watch your channel and see how you get better each video. The way you talked and explained was just on fire in this one! One recommendation: Change the title/thumbnail to something like "Why you had a bad trip", because that what this video is actually about, the salvia trip is just the example. I think more people would watch it, because a lot of them had a bad trip and want to know why. Anyway, keep going, I love watching you grow! And good luck for your Patreon! I'm proud to be one of them and I hope you will reach your next milestone soon!
jakobkoe 🤫
Totally agree!
Dude most people talk a lot of rubbish about this stuff and have no clue. But yo... you are wise. You have exactly pointed my problems out and I think you are very right with your solutions.
The thing is, that you are talking about psychedelics while I am having badtrips or better said I always battle against a bad trip when I smoke fucking weed. The cause for this is, as you correctly said, me trying to keep some of my usual self/me keeping up my functions as I would do sober. I try to maintain control and since Weed changes your perception and also the way you feel , I have a really hard time for the first like 10 minutes. I simply have to accept, that I am not meant to be like when I am sober. I realize, that I must not try to maintain "normality". I will try it on the weekend.
This is so weird a few years ago letting go was fine for me. I just wanted to be high really really hard and now even before smoking I am having butterflys in my stomage thinking a lot about it and stuff. I know that are the reasons for my bad trips yet its so difficult to let go. Usually I tell myself when I am high "this is normal, you are on drugs, think about last week how high you were and you still kinda made it" lol. Yet even though I try to relax that way, I still try to keep some of my normal self and that makes my trip horrible in the beginning. This week I will tell myself if I cant simply let go, "that I am not meant to be my usual self. The things that are happening with me right now, are how it is meant to be. Let go and do not try to maintain a piece of your sober self".
I can see that it might help since its completely right what you said. Thats exactly how it is. I can see it giving me comfort when I am high. I hope it will work. Of course the perfect way would be, if I did not even need to try to comfort myself by telling myself these things but right after the high kicks in, I start to think about it. Its basically not in my hands to not start to think about it. Maybe after this video I will be able to "defeat" the badtrip right at the start and enjoy it completely. Maybe that might even help me the following times to not even think about all of this stuff anymore and I simply have a great time from the beginning. Thanks man you really know what you are talking about. And sorry for my bad english, its not my first language.
Always when i catch myself thinking at the start of a trip, Oh no, what have i done, i should not do this, i always stop myself thinking why the fuck should i not do this. Im having a great time trying to create nice memorys with my friends. And that always helps in sense. They way society sees drugs is usually implanted in our minds and that is what creates these bad thoughts that i am doing something i should not do. But when you realize what it really is, its nothing to feel bad over.
Have a great day whomever is reading this :)
I had a similar experience on salvia 20x. I completely forgot all my memories, my set, and my friends. Every image was visually distorted and I fell on the ground and was rolling around. My friends were scared but they helped me out and I'm happy for them to do that for me. Even though I had this ego death I was ready to accept the drug. I had a overall good experience but I did get a little afraid afterwards because I had never experienced this feeling before. Never before had I lost my sense of reality. I think it has brought out questions about religion, the universe, time, perception, reality, and our own existence. All of these I once had extremely solid views on my mind. Now I have doubts on a lot of those things. This may seem like a bad thing but I welcome these changes. I am a smart person and I love allowing my mind to think deeply. I feel salvia in particular has permanently improved my brain in a sense. Now my creativity and closed eye visual memories are much more heightened and whenever I smoke weed i went from having a chill trip of just having fun and laughing to being able to think super deep and get crazy movie like closed eye visuals and even some open eye distortions. Overall although salvia can be super scary if you don't have the right mindset of letting go of yourself before going in, if you are ready it can be a positive change. Just make sure you are ready because I have seen a lot of my friends have bad trips on salvia.

I had a really bad trip, I ate ape shrooms chocolate and severally underestimated their strength. I violently vomited chocolate all over my bed and pissed myself on the floor at some point. I truly believed I was going to die and I fell into a panic because every time I moved reality just kept folding in on itself. I somehow managed to call a friend and get support, thank goodness, but the next three hours I spent writhing in pain and terrified because I had an unexpected PTSD episode. I know I'll laugh about it soon enough, but that shit was intense
Damn man. I feel you. Your experience is heard. ❤

My first few trips with mushrooms and LSD were amazing. After that it was constant 4-8 hours of constant anxiety, climbing the walls, going insane and screaming for no reason, which was why I stopped.
I was also going through a twin flame separation at the time (not sure if TFs are real but it's the only thing that accurately describes what I was going through.)
This helped me realise a lot of things thank you Adam! Also your humour cracks me up ahah
as a person who has not ever tripped on anything before, how are you really supposed to know if you can or can not handle ego death but want to try tripping for various reasons.
I have a question, I took magic mushrooms about a week ago and I had the worst trip of my life. I literally felt paranoia and anxiety for the whole trip but I then felt better after 2 hours of the trip but the next day I had another panic attack that lasted the whole day. I've been like that for a few days and I started taking antidepressants for the anxiety and panic attacks. I've been feeling a lot better but I just want to go back to my original life without taking meds. Will this feeling end?
Robert Pash you probably need to get use to it. I know that’s not the answer you want to hear but these drugs can caused permanent changes in your brain. I’ve had derealization/ panic attacks for about six years now after a bad trip. I had no history of mental illness in my family.
some members of the psychedelic community are skeptical of medication but Zoloft has been super helpful for me. i had extreme anxiety for a few months after a difficult trip but i promise you it does fade!
I had a very traumatic trip where I died and was literally reborn out of a cosmic birth canal where I felt like I was traveling at the speed of light. But for some reason I was totally fine the next day. No PTSD at all.
I'm scared to use pyschedelics because of what I read about them. Afraid I won't be able to handle it. People say that's not a good mindset for taking them, so don't know if I ever will even though I really want to. I want to take them for all their benefits and the experience.

I feel the exact same way
Shrooms are the best thing to try if you’re gonna. And don’t start with a high dose. Be with someone you’re very comfortable with and can be your true self around and in a familiar place that you feel safest.
Don’t take it if you’re nervous about it, tripping can be a wonderful experience with the right mind set going in, and right environment. I had a great trip but now I deal w anxiety on a daily basis so I wouldn’t do it now, knowing how quick you can go from a good trip to a bad trip.
Dream Villain Take a low dose
