    Bad trips do happen. But huge breakthroughs are possible, as well. Go in not seeking anything specific and just see how it plays out.

      I will say this though, if you feel a bad trip coming, you have to surrender to it. Surrender to the fact that you are tripping balls, and that it’s is a finite experience, and that you’ll be ok. You won’t get in trouble, you won’t become crazy, and if you do? Fuck it we ball.

        I reckon this fella has looked into a mirror while tripping.

        This is absolutely right though, surrendering is how you turn a bad trip into at least a learning experience and in turn, a still great trip. So what if a few demons come out

          That’s the best example. Depending on your headspace that can be a hilarious experience, like a child at a funhouse playing with distorting mirrors, or it can probably freak you tf out if you forget it’s temporary and only an illusion.

            Nah, I never got the mirror thing. Was tripping alone on my first ever trip. It was the realization that, hey, “this technically only lasts a few hours(8-12) so eventually it’ll end lol” that brought me out of that potentially bad(is any trip truly bad lol) trip. Also, for anyone still reading this, cannabis can help as well.

              If you’re a regular user and it’s a mellow strain. I’d try mixing it with a low dose first to gauge the synergy effects.

            It’s one of those things that you better be willing to deal with lol, it really can go either way, but one thing is for sure, it’s gonna get weird

    • With force of will you can change the trip, but that requires experience. I think this is why novices have bad trips. That and spending too long looking in the mirror both physically and metaphorically.

      Or maybe people it’s not great for weed themselves out. But I can’t imagine anything better for everyone.
