misleading conclusions while tripping

just curious, has anyone ever come to some conclusion or had a bit of insight while they were tripping that they later found to be "bad" or lead them to make bad decisions based on the discovery (later on while sober)?

I've been eating various hallucinogens, including a half sheet of acid, for the past two months, looking for answers to questions that I already had.... It took a bit of a scare, and a few panic attacks during psychedelic experiences and while sober too, but I found the answers to my questions.... Trying to find what my calling is in life, but I was completely overlooking my two kids, which I've realized to be my main focus. Good luck to you, and dont let the drugs cloud your journey to your answers.

No, I haven't. Generally when you trip and you "find an awnser" to something, its a question you had in you mind already.

Say you have a problem finding whats important in life. Its a question you ask yourself when your sober, reasonably often. "Whats important in my life?"
Well if you ask the same thing while tripping, you are much more likely to awnser it. Those walls that previously stopped the awnser are now gone, it seems like a simple awnser. Now, is the awnser going to be beneficial to your life? Most likely. While you trip you feel insense sympathy for things and people, so your likely to find an awnser like "I need to spend time with my (whoever is imortant to you)" or "help some one out". Selfish thoughts like "I need to buy more (whatever) to make myself happy" seem to be less likely.

So what im trying to say is, you are more likely going to come to a conclution that helps other people than a selfish one. Now, if you try to help someone, and it makes things worse, thats just a sucky coinceadince, not a bad decision. If you mean well and it fails you will always learn from it. I'm not saying tripping is the best way to find things out, but when reality doesnt help, sometimes its the only way. Thats why I smoke MJ, it clears my mind and helps me 'organize' my life. Thats just my 2 cents, trips are differant for everyone. Hope this helps.

The only time this happens is if you are too forthcoming to the conclusions. Don't be as open to believe them right away, and think about it while you're tripping too. Unless you were abusing this psychedelic, then it will just abuse you. But if this was not the case, be more open to thought instead of accepting something right away.
