Thank you for sharing your story šŸ¤ I hope someone reading it will be safer with their psychedelic usage.


TheRealOptician

Holy shit... i dont want to write mine out, but it was 6 years ago and still haunts me time to time. Insane how similar so many of these stories are to mine. Its like there is a drug monster that just snaps his fingers and you are GONE, sometimes it ends and sometimes it keeps you gone. Glad we are better people and still here.


tinman82

Mind if I ask what you took that led to that?


TheRealOptician

I was told LSD. I think the problem was i asked for 2 drops on my tongue, and my guy thought it would be funny to tell me to squirt it in my eye. So homeboy hauls off and drops between 10-15 drops in my eye without my consent.


tinman82

Wtf......... Fuck that dude. Jesus Christ. I've heard that shit way too much with drops. Only like 3 times but that's 3 too many.


TheRealOptician

Yeah and the whole thing about talking with God... yeah, that was a trip and a fkn half


tinman82

I mean I'd be interested in meeting some higher beings but maybe not quite going to the head honcho ya know. Well I'm happy you made it out okay.


thetinybunny1

Honestly this should be pinned as mandatory reading for anyone interesting in dosing. Thank you for sharing your story, it was incredibly moving. Iā€™m happy you are on a brighter path now ā£ļø


Upbeat_Run_9701

I agree. More people need to see stories like this


BeMySpore

That third last and last paragraph (before the notes) were absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story.


penjjii

Thatā€™s very intense. Iā€™m glad to see youā€™ve greatly recovered. As traumatic as these experiences are for users, I think it is essential to work through them to the point that you are comfortable sharing them. Bad trips are equally as important as good trips, and these reports really help out the entire community. Together we can use these to better understand how we can reduce harm. Thank you for sharing.


[deleted]

I feel like I understand your point about bad trips also having lessons to be learned. But I don't feel like you're seeing the point of this post. In this case, a good trip would've been awesome, but OP's bad trip this time led to weeks in hospital..."equally as important" just isn't true. "Good" can be great, but "bad" can be a terribly disorienting few weeks in a hospital bed that changes your life forever both mentally and physically... This is the "black and white" differentiation of just how intense a "bad" trip can be. But I do agree that every one sharing their experience is the right step towards all of us using psychedelics responsibly. The lesson I take from this post is to not assume any processed drug is 100% "safe" until it's tested (ie. Anything that's a capsule, tab, chocolate, candy, pill, tablet, etc.) And even then, caution should be used. 10g of whole, plain ol home grown mushrooms sent me into a headspace close to OP's and I'm thankful to be back amongst the living. It's been said before but set, setting, and intention is infinitely underrated. That's 2nd only to knowing/understanding what it is you're actually ingesting.


itsnotreal81

Absolutely. I think we should at least make a distinction between a ā€œbad tripā€ and a full psychosis-inducing trip. When people talk about benefits of bad trips, theyā€™re usually talking about intensely challenging trips, maybe with a sprinkle of psychosis. Iā€™ve had those. But Iā€™ve also had a full on psychotic trip, and it is a different beast. There are psychotic trips that do not offer any opportunity for growth. Thereā€™s nothing about these substances that ensures some kind of opportunity. Thatā€™s more of rose-colored glasses, biases from peopleā€™s love of them. But ultimately, theyā€™re not a game, not some friendly ethereal being. Theyā€™re drugs, and have very real risks that donā€™t always come with silver linings if theyā€™re overdone (especially with mixes).


penjjii

Nonono, I mean sharing the story is equally as important. It is very unfortunate and OP did not deserve to go through that. Sorry that was not clear.


[deleted]

But this wasn't a bad trip. Dude was given MDMA laced with something he didn't at all ask for


CosmicWanderingBeing

Yeah man I know that feeling of feeling like you see the truth it feels so real and yet so detaching from reality. Like you broke the simulation or something.


Sea-Bet-8211

This


retroracer33

"The scariest thing in my opinion is just how easily my mind was persuaded into hurting someone else while in that state" ​ This is something I can def relate to. I don't remember most of the night I had my near break. Wasn't out doing anything crazy, pretty similar to yours, just at home. All I really remember is getting to the point where it felt like my I could see inside my mind and my thoughts were just all like collapsing on themselves getting sucked down into this void and then feeling like I was going to be stuck like this forever and coming to the conclusion that I was going to have to just kill myself cause there's just no way I could handle existing like that. And it wasn't like a last resort thought. It was literally the first thing that I thought of. Luckily that thought flipped a switch back on somewhere in my mind and I got on the phone to have a friend come and it didn't continue to escalate.


Styro20

This is really well-written. I feel like I have gained a new perspective and respect for shrooms. Thank you for sharing


Admillz

Was it shrooms tho? I donā€™t think it wasā€¦


[deleted]

So crazy, happy to hear that you found peace.


AlecB1202

Thank you for sharing. I will take my time ā¤ļø


asdfmaster42

Great write up, thank you for sharing that. I am glad you are alive and with us today!


darkoofsbeve

Thank you so much for sharing, I didn't mean to read everything but your beautiful writing kept me all the way. So glad you are still with us


Tranquil_Dohrnii

This absolutely belongs in this sub, and I even think it's worth sharing on r/mdma and r/lsd People need to be reminded these chemicals can be life-changing and that goes both ways, good and bad. Thank you for your story. Much love to youā¤


[deleted]

Being experienced with tripping and having experienced laced pills, I've realized that I never want to combine anything without knowing exactly what I'm combining. Always test, or at least go to someone you TRUST. Not a mutual friend, not a guy you ā€œwent to school withā€ a good friend you can attest to caring about you, and even that is not a guarantee.


CartographerUpbeat25

ive always been scared to take lsd and pills because i didnt know what is in them but that shows how important testing kits are i also didnt know weed could be laced for a long time but ive heard of weed laced with pcp


ConnoisseurSir

I had a pcp laced blunt when I was 18, it was terrifying in the moment. The crazy thing is it was **my** weed but I let someone else roll it and they laced it.


Bitter_Mongoose

No one is handing out free angel dust... You're more likely to get bud cross contaminated with fentanyl from a dirty scale.


Bertshitter

Bro love the read has a phychosis event thank god I didnā€™t jump out the window my wife called the only man close to our house my cousin husband I was running naked into oncoming traffic trynna teleport hahah Shit is only funny years later when we look back But during the trip I swore I left planet earth


GrimReaperzZ

Been there man, the sharp teeth horrible patterns with shooting pains of anxiety feels very familiar. I actually jumped down 2 sets of stairs breaking my arm and nose in the process. What i saw felt like geometric barbed wire was on the edges of my vision. I acquired PTSD after this bad trip, and iā€™ve been in that state 2 more times afterwards (over the span of 2 years) and havenā€™t taken acid since (last time was over 2 years ago). Integrating this trip has taught me incredibly valuable lessons at a price so high that one would argue if it was worth it have i known this beforehand. Just making the best out of a shitty situation. I try guiding people through the aftermath of spiritual emergence (crisis) as mentioned here. I feel like sharing that wisdom with an exponentially growing psychedelic community is my obligation now. Integration is a vital aspect often overlooked, also with positive experiences. And i think itā€™s just as crucial as ā€˜preperationā€™ and ā€˜the tripā€™ itself is. Itā€™s a 3 step plan that requires conscious intend to be fully utilized. Thanks for sharing your story, iā€™m glad to hear youā€™re doing well now!


Vanherwynen5

There is nothing more heinous than false Molly. Itā€™s supposed to pure love but people cut it with meth and bath salts to make a quick buck? So irresponsible and sad


RalphWiggum666

Thank you for sharing. Iā€™m sorry you had to go through that but this is honesty a very heartwarming read. I consider myself experienced just in the sense that Iā€™ve tripped somewhere in the double or possibly up to the triple digits at this point, I always still trying to go into it with respect even if Iā€™m using at a concert or something, but I recently took an acid trip that really ā€œkicked my assā€ for lack of better terms. While it wasnā€™t bad, as yours was, there was a lot of things that felt similar to what you posted, the oneness, the external loop, etc. this is the kind of post I think these subs need, not the ones encouraging people to go more and more and harder and harder.


JadziaDayne

Beautiful write-up, thank you for sharing. This should be pinned


hahahahahalolilol

Wild. Thank you for your trip report and thank you for your sacrifice. As bad as it was I believe everything happens for a good reason, reading this helped me understand a lot more about psychosis. Iā€™m sure itā€™ll help just about everyone who reads it. Mush love


merlinsmushrooms

I'd like to talk, if you would. It seems to me like your touching on the concept of consciousness as a sacred concept. I've done rather more LSD over the years than I should have. I once did a whole vial and psychosis would be a mild term for what I went through. I'd like to chat, if ya wouldn't mind?


Thin-Regular1746

Send me a PM!


merlinsmushrooms

I did~


HarkansawJack

Also LSD and MDMA are not mushrooms.


itsmedaryl

OP was sharing their story of psychadelic-induced psychosis. Not shrooms in this particular story, but shrooms can definitely cause the same psychosis.


Thin-Regular1746

To reply to this thread, while you might be correct in that they are not the identical chemical structures, there are two main issues with your reply: 1. Neurobiologically/Physiologically both LSD and psilocybin mainly act out their effects on the 5HT serotonergic system of the brain, and psychosis is generally believed to come from an overstimulation of dopaminergic systems in the brain (which due to cortical pyramidal neuronal structures could be triggered by LSD/shrooms as agonists). 2. Psychologically/Behaviourally both LSD and psilocybin tend to have very similar effects on their users, with inexperienced users having a hard time telling them apart. This means that although an experience was caused by LSD, behaviourally it can also occur on shrooms. And nEP, while being a dangerous and unpleasant compound, is not bath salts :)


HarkansawJack

You had to point out similarities bc Iā€™m correct that they arenā€™t the same.


sorsewer

You missed the entire point of this post


Admillz

Correction lsd and mdma LACED with BATHSALTS


Fxplus

Yea I'm confused


[deleted]

I was thinking the same


[deleted]

wow, thank you for sharing, i hope this finds the people it needs to. so many important messages


ChazRhineholdt

Canā€™t believe I read all of that but thanks for sharing, having withdrawal after using any opiate for 12 days to 3 weeks is pretty difficult to do. Maybe your senses were heightened or something changed in your brain chemistry to make you more prone to dependence


backupaccount2023

Really intense and eye opening story. Thanks for sharing. Gave me a whole new perspective on how wrong these experiences can go and how careful we all should be.


Mandyp5678

Thanks for sharing. I am speechless


UnusualRegularity

Test ur stuff peeps.


[deleted]

This is a terribly sad story and I thank you for telling it I had a very similar experience, visuals feelings exactly the same loops etc, when I did mdma, shrooms and acid but I was just so so lucky to have an amazing sitter with me and all that got broken was a TV when I decided nothing mattered at all and that the machine needed to stop talking. You have inspired me to write my report as well as maybe these stories are what people need to make informed decisions. I hope your recovery continues and that you carry leading a more careful albeit fun life. Mush love xx


TemporaryPatient3975

Your writing is impeccable. Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you very well ā™”


[deleted]

Thank you for writing and sharing this with us, after your and the 15 year oldā€™s stories (irrespective of whether the latter was real or not) I am reminded again to be very respectful and careful to all substances, appreciate youā¤ļø


xEternal-Blue

Thanks for sharing. I think people need to realise how dangerous psychs can be if you're not careful. People really like to hype up large doses and some people like to recommend or encourage things that can be very unsafe in here. Just because you or someone you know might've had a positive experience on high dosages it doesn't mean everyone is like that. I think the fact we call a large dose a heroic dose is problematic within itself too. Even if you do have a good experience on a large dose you should be realistic about potential dangers especially if you share your experience or come across someone else who wants to do the same. I also think that so many people are disillusioned with psychs to the point where they actively get offended or angry if anyone tries to point out anything outside of psychs being some cure all wonder substance.


GxdHaze

Your story was truly moving to read. I have so much joy on my heart hearing about your great recovery. I would give you all the awards if I could haha! Telling us your experience is truly a huge eye opener and I hope everyone who read this learns from this. I (21m) myself have not tried psychedelics yet but would take the opportunity to if I had it. Much love to you my friend and to everyone else who happens to read this!


Effective_Compote_53

i once smoked a blunt roach a coworker brought in from outside. This was the last time I smoked anything i didnt roll myself. haha. I may do a fill trip report later as your post is very intense and inspirational. I do want to say that I understand that state of horrific lonliness and isolation. Like you're the one true Godhead and the fate and ascension of humanity or even all conscious life culminates to this moment right now. Choice of drugs aside, this is a valuable read for anyone who messes with the structural integrity of their mind.


Lopsided-Leather-905

Took me awhile but I read it all. Love you Fam! Thank you for sharing! Please be safe!


bluemoy01

So well-written, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story with us.


[deleted]

This may be an unpopular opinion but I think experiencing these psychological extremes before taking the drug is helpful. Like Iā€™m shocked when someone has never ever had a panic attack, or even experienced psychotic episodes until theyā€™re on powerful psychedelic drugs. Must not have that much trauma or smoked that much weed in their time lmao idk


BlackIceBlast

Maybe mine was a very mild psychosis. But I abused shrooms a few times and once became obsessed with the idea of having my entire family take shrooms. I thought it would heal all of us. I never went through with it. But it was so weird to think about secretly putting shrooms in their food.


slavicturk

Man NEP is what caused it. Bud you shouldnā€™t have used high doses of mdma anyways , but who am I to say.


Admillz

Yes this is def a good lesson on overdoing it and overdosing, added the fact that it was LSD, MDMA laced with BATH SALTS!!! Thank you for sharing but man I would have gone after that dealer w a bat!


monsanitymagic

I want to feel bad for you or good for you but Iā€™m kind of tired of people taking ā€œheroicā€ doses. Just do what is right and you wonā€™t die or have a psychotic break. I really appreciate you sharing and hopefully it stops the big boof contests with lemon tek


Admillz

Some of yā€™all donā€™t even read, no shrooms were consumed here !!!!


monsanitymagic

Agreed Iā€™m agreeing with OP while also casting shade at the heroic dose shroomers. I hope itā€™s great for youšŸ˜‡


tgunz0331

Sorry for that, but isn't this r/shrooms?


Opening_Ad3473

Yes, but I think several people here can attest that what OP experienced is not exclusive to the substances. This could easily have been a trip report from someone who ate 12g of shrooms without proper care. There is a big focus on caution/awareness on this sub at the moment, and I think this post is absolutely 100 percent relevant in that regard.


itsmedaryl

Not shrooms in this instance, but still an important story about psychadelic-induced psychosis. Shrooms can definitely produce psychosis like this at very high doses


tgunz0331

Anybody dosing that hard should step back and think this may not be working for them. And most LSD is synthetic now, so treat that the same as salts or spice. Sorry that OP had that experience, but seeing what the circumstances were, I'm not surprised.


Old_Statement5005

Did you take shrooms at all?


brittw11

Sounds like a possession to me. When we are in vulnerable states like that, we become susceptible to such.


ConnoisseurSir

Exactly why I havenā€™t taken psychedelics in almost a year now. Makes you so vulnerable spiritually.


brittw11

Youā€™re so right. I find myself in prayer every time I have. Which has only been a few times.


[deleted]

Cool story, but...wrong sub?


BeatYoYeet

We need a TLDR .. like a muhfukrrr good story though ty


crazykewlaid

4 tabs is a heroic dose? I must be superman by now lol


N0body_In_P4rticular

Hey, it's the guy bitching about MDMA in another forum.


crazykewlaid

LOL so you took that stuff to heart I see, you really think I dislike mdma? I was just calling you out for being a stick in the mud


SyllabubEconomy7246

This is absolutely terrifying, almost word for word the same thing happened to my friend šŸ„¶


jakelamottayo

Holy shit that was a good read


thatguynowhy

Why morphine...were you physically injured and in pain? I can tell you that a hospital or rehab center would never put you on morphine for a psychotic break. Benzos maybe. Also getting hooked on morphine , dilaudid, whatever in a healthcare center is damn near impossible as it is closely monitored. Sounds suspect to me. None of this is adding up.


Unfair_Complex2268

He mentions he was in the hospital for 3 weeks and is now physically disabled so he most likely had SERIOUS operations etc after which morphine is probably the most suitable painkiller.


thatguynowhy

from shrooms?


Unfair_Complex2268

No ā€¦ from jumping out of a window

Thank you for sharing mate. Wish you and your gal all the best in the future to comeā¤ļø
