from being stupid in high school; with the wrong mindset.
i have had some bad experiences or 'bad trips' with mushrooms.
i have never with lsd but i know it's still very possible for it to happen.
it is often discribed as more intense or 'the hardest trip' by people who have experienced bad trips.
everyone trips differently so different bad trips could happen.
only bad trips ive had are NOT me freaking out from what im seeing but from me freaking out of what i am thinking. and being stupid from eating way too many mushrooms for my first time and other times when it was not appropriate to be tripping.
my bad trips are more of a 'mindfuck'

Different Kinds of Trips
The Mindfuck:
What some people desire more than anything out of a trip, this is usually the kind of trip that scares people more often. You feel an overwhelming sense of self and your thoughts become distorted. I believe visuals come from this but are completely seperate. You may feel very inferior or insignificant, or you may go deep into a 'hole' in which you do nothign but silently think with glass eyes.
This is top-notch. Any good mindfuck trip is a good trip regardless, because it has a very real power. But any bad mindfuck trip can be the worst thing ever (when its happening) but once days go by and the trip was thought out, it becomes a very enlightening experience. You learn a lot from it.
The Hallucinatory Trip:
Of course, any hallucinogen causes slight distortions in everything, but this is the kind of trip that forces you to focus on insane visuals. You may see 2-D worlds, walls melt away, your friend's face morph into a monster, a lightbulb catch fire and burn. And that's mild hallucinations.
Once heavy ones set in, this can become, more than anything, confusing. You will be mildly amused most times, but it can be scary. This does not, however, cause "bad trips" as often as a mindfuck will. It just makes things stupidly insane.
Also, this can apply to any other sense. You may feel your fingernails fall off, or you may hear people talking in booming, unintelligible thunder.
Can get ridiculous at times, but who doesn't think that true hallucinations aren't cool?
Disassociation:
Here's where the big players and big doses come in. This is the kind of trip in which reality no longer exists, and the division between what you believe and what you imagine is shattered. Your friend could catch fire and then you turn into a figment of his imagination, something so unreal that it scares you to death.
This can get very scary and isn't usually very enjoyable unless you are used to it. However, it does happen.
I was never partial to this kind of thing ,but it's my personal opinion. If you wanna become detached, go for it.
Now those are only three... The most basic three, and you get many variations and this in no way covers all trips, but it gives you a good idea of what else can happen.
id like to hear peoples experiences with bad trips.
what substance was it?
what was the dose and what times were they ingested?
and what was the experience like?

. But after that ordeal and we left the first aid tent (still dident know why my eye was hurting) I just wanted to stop tripping really, but because I wanted it to end it lasted a long time, I was tripping for a good 12-14 hours no joke. When I sober'd up I fgigured out that my eye had been laserd because it happend to another friend in a club once and he had the same symptoms (cloudy, irritable). But yeah that was quite horrible was not a "bad" trip though.
