I was ready to learn about tripping but instead I learned I really need to get my shit together dam

His ego died for our sins. 🙏🏼

People that live in their parents basements just got sent into a bad trip lmao

This man just made a hundred thousand people think about him being naked. No one should have this type of power.

Tripping requires a certain level of accepting total strangeness that's yet somehow more familiar than you dare to admit.

"Thought becomes word, word becomes action, action becomes habit, and habit becomes character. As we think, so we become." - Buddha, I think

Damn, who else thought he was literally talking to you? Felt like a personal attack 😂

This isn't just helpful for psychedelics, this is genuinely helpful for life. This helps so much.

Jokes on you I was already having gay thoughts

Hehe I find it cool that you can say "my tripping career" and it's actually true.

Dude this most definitely applies to weed also, I’ve also noticed that when I smoke after a good productive week I feel amazing, but after doing nothing mind wanders off very negatively, I’m talking waking up and playing games, eat, wack off(haven’t done since), I’ve concluded it’s about control and how much disciplined you are, and also affects how you interact with people negatively so your social issues would fade from a psychological standpoint

This is SO GOOD, Adam. I've had numerous friends go buckwild upon realizing they weren't staying in touch with their parents, managing their finances properly, or dealing with underlying anxiety/depression issues. Tripping shows us what we need most of the time, but damn if it can't be painful. Clean that room before you go to Wonderland.

"thots become reality, do not let your thots control your life" wise beyond words

i feel like i know too much about psychedelics for someone who has never tried them thanks to this channel although i do want to try some in the near future.

I realized this while I was tripping for my second time, I noticed that if I gave in to my thoughts emotionally I would go crazy. So I simply stated to my friends "dont act on your thoughts" and I ended up having a great trip and calming down my pretty intense trip

Called me tf out! What I got from this is basically: learn mindfulness, meditate, put yourself in uncomfortable situations (don't just listen to your emotions 100% of the time), do whatever you need to do to understand your mind better and have more control before you ever try to trip. Definitely gonna keep this in mind before I try. Thanks

This video gave me the motivation to get out of bed for the first time in 3 days, Thankyou

#2 reason for "bad trips": you go into the trip without spending a thought about your INTENTIONS before the trip.

"Don't let Thots control you" so wise (:

Very well spoken Adam,the hard pill everyone has to swallow

ADAM FINALLY CRACKED THE CODE HE FINALLY GOT THE PICTURE I was worried he'd never figure out how to explain this and I'm so glad he finally did.

I wish I could say "but it's just a drug" The research I've done on acid is massive, but hearing Adam say that I need to get my shit together really hit me.

Very nice :) My set on one of my last trips was as bad as it could possibly be, but it went great :)

Please never stop KZfaq! I've loved your channel for years. Thank you for being a stand up guy and helping me on my own spiritual journey! I hope you see this

The summary of the message of this video: practice the craft of not entertaining negative/fearful thoughts as they may appear.

"Thoughts become reality!" Hearing this hit me hard as this is what I've been learning slowly through my sober ponderings. We have thoughts, and we assign more power to some thoughts over others, this is what determines our own reality. We are capable of so much more if we can just understand this.

Just realized I have been tripping for literally 20 years. You want to stop a bad trip from going out of control, simply remind yourself of how long a dose lasts for, and settle into the thought that this is the maximum time you can possibly spend in discomfort. Soon as you calculate when it will end, it usually all pulls together again anyway. I have seen too many triggers for bad trips and experienced too many to think that an element of chance is at play also. Sometimes its just how it rolls, especially with mushrooms. The trick is to not go looking for reasons, but finding your ninja skills so to speak, your techniques for when you are balls deep on 2500 mic and you feel the cold breath on the back of your neck so to speak. Thinking about it now, I personally feel a sense of overwhelm pushes most people into bad territory, body responds with a stress response, mind chases the hormones. Adrenaline, thats the culprit most times. IMO.

So that’s why the voices in my head keep telling me “when you’re ready” thank you for this video

My brother died a while back, and I’ve been regretting not being around for him more. It’s been a real struggle, but I’ve finally reached a point where I believe I’m healthy enough to trip, and figure out what’s going on up in my head. 3.5g of cubes tomorrow night, so wish me luck ❤️

"Now you're worried about having gay thoughts cause I do look quite attractive in this trapper hat" As a gay man this is not only hilarious, but comforting. It takes a person with really good comfort with their sexuality to make a good joke like this, but still be serious about this certain topic. I just wanted go applaud you about this. Ive been on a few horrible trips myself, but this says a lot about your character and I appreciate you so much. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ❤

Bad trips are like a nagging mom saying “get your $#!+ together!”

The message you bring in this video is of great importance. I hope people get to understand it, and that more communicators in the psychedelic community get to talk about it.

This makes so much sense. My first and only horror trip had a perfect set/setting. But I constantly had the tought "I am going crazy, my friends think Im crazy, I dont want to loose my friends." and it made my experience awful. Nowadays, If I had a tought like that, I would realise this tought comes from a place of trauma. Now I take acid and know my friends love me, also when I'm acting insane. And even if they didn't, its not the end of the world. I also have borderline personality disorder, and I must say: LSD experiences show me the progress I've done with dealing with intrusive thoughts. How I'm able to feel sympathy, and see the world how it is; not how my mind paints it to be, makes me really happy and hopeful towards me dealing with this illness.

This came pretty much at the perfect time for me. Thank you.

As someone who got laced with meth in a wax cart while having an out-of-control mind and has been dealing with thought loops and depersonilization. This video just might have saved my life. Recently I had been in the same mindset that drugs would make me feel better while dealing with severe depression and anxiety. Not to sound exaggerative but you have made everything seem real to me again, something I don't believe I could have ever done if I haven't seen this. Thank you... so much. I will now start supporting you in any way I can. I appreciate everything you do so much, I feel so much better now that I have reassurance and clarity in my life again. Once again, thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart.

I really appreciate the way you have boiled down depressive/addictive behavior into a loss of control of the mind. Could you put together a video on how to move from a place of no control to a place of control? What steps do you take to move in a direction of control? What do you do to maintain control? How do you accept the feelings of anxiety, discomfort, and brain fog along the way? How do you accept pleasure without spiraling into addiction?

I feel this. I used to be so in control for YEARS. Stress is a hell of a thing. Definitely took a toll on me

This vid is clearly "how to be a better person in your everyday life"

wow i’m really thankful for what you do here on this channel, i’ve learn so much, not only about psychedelics but also about myself:) i hope youtube stops putting you down ughh take care man thanks again

when he said "dont imagine me naked" my mind immediately went to picturing johnny sins

I live with my Dad. No job. History of intense depression and anxiety. Yeah sometimes I am like maybe depression is just me being in denial and It's just all one big tantrum that I haven't moved on from childhood. I beat my self up with that one sometimes, but if I don't forgive my self and love who I am for the decisions I have made emotionally, I end up a mess. It may sound weird, but living with my Dad has helped hibernate and regain that self love again. Sometimes I slip off but it helps not comparing your situation with anyone elses and to be surround by people who don't judge you and support you. Who the hell knows. I don't think I am lazy, just confused as fuck what to do in life, while I am here, waiting for the end. It's scary. I admit I am scared of death and when I really think about it... Man wtf. Life is such a mystery. Like where do you even go after being here? To nothingness? Another dimension? Another place where your awarness will make sense in? Reincarnation, not knowing anything about your past life? To the stars? Heaven? Hell? Your consciousness will latch on to another living body somewhere in this fucking massive universe/universes? You really don't want this to be all for nothing, but sometimes it seems the consciousness here is maybe more insignificant that I think because there are beings who die in the womb or die months after even developing ego and awarness or learning anything which makes me think maybe life isn't really a lesson or has a purpose. Anyway. I know I need a job and independence. I will admit that part of my stuckness is because yeah, the 9 to 5 life feels like a dead end to me and it seems thats the only choice I have to pay the rent unless I make a choice to stary my own business and make more money and have more freedom that way, but I don't really know how or what I'd do there either and it seems so hard. Maybe all this is due to my lack of faith in being able to start up something for my self. I know making good money on your own is more freedom and time to just go for walks in nature and relax and repair the mind. I fear working or being somewhere I don't want to be, all just to live a life I don't want(hope this doesn't sound spoiled or entitled). I understand it's not about what I want and I feel my purpose should be to not have my family support because me supporting my self is supporting them too, but doing something you have no interest or passion in and the inability to be creative your whole life until death is scary too and that triggers me to feel depressed. I know there is responsibility and discipline, I have some of these, but those things seem so mundain when you are in that sailing boat, being totally disorientated because you don't have any direction or in the moment purpose/goals/wants ect for life while you are here. So it's like, I keep letting that boat take me, essentially no where, so to speak and accept where I am in my life. Or take control of the boat somehow and choose to sail it in a particular direction that will allow me to live more on the moment with momentary goals ect. I dunno. Just thoughts yeah. Life man. Life. I have tripped twice on LSD and it just made me more thoughtful amd scared but at the same time I liked the realm of mind I was in, but I don't think its a good idea to go to that place anymore. I have only even taken half a tab. I cannot imagine what a full tab or multiple tabs are like. Damn. If anybody is going through this too or resonates with this. Let's stay strong. There is still hope and still time to find joy in life before we go. I try to make enjoying life my purpose and most importantly, loving and forgiving your self. The only thing I know and feel good a out right now is that I am not here to control/harm/manipulate anybody. Peace and love.✌

Having my first trip tommorow, taking a gram of shrooms

This is the best video you've ever released, I revisit it from time to time to help re-center

Im not currently planning on tripping but what you said about discipline was exactly what I needed to hear... I've been in a hole of depression lately, slowly loosing control with out been aware of it... and your video just made me think about it and realizing that currently I'm just drifting to life and just throwing away everything I have achive up to this place... i have lots to think about but thanks man... it really help.

"you can't fight the feeling"

I love the rawness of this video, I feel like I’ve extracted some real wisdom from it. Also it’s great to see you posting again, right when I saw your face I clicked on it as fast as I could 😊

This is a GREAT video dawg. Even for people who don’t trip, this is such an important concept

a bad trip made me change my whole life. I dropped out of school, got a job in the mountains and then when i did acid again i had a great time. bad trips suck during the time but i always learn a lot from them.

im so glad im spiritual, whenever i decide to trip i just know ill be okay, ive learned a lot through meditation and this video just helped me confirm that ill be okay :)

Honestly, I've found many of your videos to be intolerable because they disregarded the root cause of people's "bad trips". I appreciate this video, thanks.

I started watching your channel from the beggining, and just at the end of last year I started my psychedelic journey. I've only tripped three times, each one in one tab. First two were sweet, amazing and raised a lot of questions about me and everything, which I am just starting to answer, but in the middle the third one I got a text that made me spiral into pure guilt, although I had nothing to worry about. At the time I was dropping m twice a month, skipping classes and spending most of my money on weed, which I smoked daily. That guilt didnt make me have a full on bad trip, but the guilt feeling, which was already present in my "sober" everyday life, just got amplificated thoughout the trip and it followed me. It was a very nasty guilt. So, kids, do what you have to do. Take care of all of your responsibilities, from self care to work/studies and the people you love, your enviroment... so you can have a guilt/fear/paranoia/any bad feeling free trip. Let your ego feel good about what it does, get a clear concience, let nothing hold you on from feeling good in your everyday life, then you can be free when you're trippin.

One of the best videos in the channel, hands down.

Dude does your head keep growing and shrinking or is the acid kicking in?

Hey man maybe you'd see this, love the content you make. You get me thinking from a much different place in my brain

Since I’ve come across this guy my spiritual journey is now at a new level thank you to your channel! I open my mind and heart feel so much better

man this is so important for me to hear right now i want to get off meds and drugs so bad but i've felt like i'll never want to live anymore when my brain heals from this hellhole... and youre the first person to explain how meditation/mind training helps that i'm actually believing.. i think it's cause i have this mindset that i need to feed my brain chemicals and substances to fix my mental health issues, but hearing it from someone who is so knowledgeable from experience with drugs is really really helpful to hear. you're a saint dude im sure it wasnt easy to figure all of this out and we are all grateful that you're sharing your thoughts with us

You just explained perfectly what that third eye vision actually means if you got it

I'm so happy how big you've gotten. You spread positive true information in an Era of misinformation.

the doc is in! love all your stuff and content you've saved the lives of me and all my friends who watch you! Keep doing your thing man!

When i first started tripping it opened me up to everyone and i fell into the trap of feeling obligated to say hi to everyone and participate in everything and over analyze every intrusive thought that pops up. Its very freeing to know u have the freedom to choose.

MY HOODIE CAME AND ITS AMAZING ADAM TYYY!!! Cozy and would be great to wear during a trip!

Preparation and discipline is key. You should deeply ask yourself “why AM I doing this?” before going into it to really set your intentions straight. I’ve done LSD 8 times, the first 7 trips were overall extremely positive & eye opening experiences, however my 8th and most recent trip (450ug) didn’t go so well for me and led to a full out panic/anxiety attack which I’ll talk about more in a sec I’m extremely high in openness but also high in neuroticism, when I first took acid I thought the drug was made for me cause of how much I connected with the experience, I’ve since been using it to gain insights about my own nature as that’s something that’s puzzled me from my youngest years as a kid. My 8th trip. On short notice, I had a free house to myself for the night so I decided that it was a good enough opportunity to get some introspective hours in. After cycling there and back to pick up the 3 tabs I sat on my couch and while taking them out of the bag all I felt was this uneasy wave of nervousness & in-preparation. Like the whole situation didn’t feel ritualistic enough and I didn’t like how rushed and spontaneous it all felt because I didn’t plan for it days in advance which is what I would normally do, but I really wanted to take some acid... My mistake was completely ignoring this feeling and taking the tabs anyway rather than meditating on it for a bit to clear my mind. I was an idiot for doing that cause I got such a strong sense that something just wasn’t right. The only way I can describe the come up is just pure fear. Pure fear with no apparent stimuli, therefore my monkey mind started racing creating all types of potential threats that could be there just to justify how i was feeling. I wasn’t in control of these thoughts at all it was like I was a separate entity just watching all of these thoughts and feelings happen to my body and take control of me, the only thing I could think was “I’M GOING TO DIE, A MONSTER IS GOING TO KILL ME ANY SECOND NOW” 😂 It sounds stupid looking back at it but it was so real in the moment. The feeling slowly went away after I put on an alan watts video about fear, but things were just getting started.... what felt like the next moment (as I had no sense of time) I stood up in my room but it wasn’t my room anymore it wasn’t any thing anymore it was just the pure light of the objects in my room with the context and meaning just sucked out of it. This was unusual as my previous trips seemed to amplify meaning rather than take it away. Like I saw what I was looking at but I just saw colour being displayed to me and nothing else, my brain wasn’t conceptualising the “objects” at all I just saw them for what they actually were, just light coming to my eye ball so my field of view looked like an abstract watercolour painting resembling certain shapes I could just about recognise as my own. Shit really went sour when I went into my bathroom to use the toilet I was just sitting there trying to wrap my head around what was actually happening to me, it felt like it was just building up and building up to something completely unknowable to me and this is when I just lost every slither of composure I had left in me and just freaked out. I was just shouting “This is the worst thing ever, this is the worst thing ever, this is the worst thing ever” because it literally was, it was the worst possible thing a human could experience, if hell is anything at all, it was that right there. I could put it in this way: everything that you as a human being consciously avoid in life was all happening to me simultaneously at once in that moment. The profound aspect of all of this is that I actually get a strange sense of relief from knowing that that was hell right there and I experienced it to it’s fullest because if you just looked at the physiological symptoms of what was happening to me all it was was an anxiety attack (racing heart, palms sweating, etc) and those aren’t exactly uncommon among people. I had the epiphany that what hell ACTUALLY is is simply just a state of mind. Nothing else. Not physical pain, Not being burned and tortured forever or anything like that, they’re all metaphors for the actual experience of hell which any human can experience without needing to take any drugs. I’d even bet that experiences of “hell” like this happen more often to people in the real world like in third world countries than to people who take LSD.

This is probably the best advice out there on psychedelic use. Keep up the good work my friend.

Thank you for even more inspiration, for me to continue on my path that is exactly what you found the perfect way to put in to this simple combination of words and sentences. Another particular thing I really like about you, is that you yourself don't seem to have any urge to convince anyone, only the passion to share.

There is no such thing as a bad experience, just those I wish never to repeat.

I think about that every day when I wake up, sometimes the world just feels different and I sit there and think "maybe I died last night and it's a new dream everyday and I live one life per day" these are my thoughts before I even started tripping so imagine my thoughts on psychedelics

Just watched this, and let me say man, I think you're one of the smartest people I have listened to before. You taught me a lot.

You’re awesome bro. I’ve had a lot of the same thoughts, you’ve gained some really good knowledge. You do a great job of explaining it too. I haven’t seen anyone else who has described it so perfectly. It’s awesome that you share it to others this way.

Lucid dreaming and astral projection really helped me get ready to trip. I am still convinced those are the real trips and people should learn to do them more than glorify psychs (eventho they really are one of the best things that i expirienced here).

Control is a harsh word, nobody has actual "control" in the sense that they can choose their thoughts. I know you this isn't what you mean, but it's what it suggests imho. Regulation, especially emotional regulation is what I would call the things you describe, like not clinging to every negative thought.

Adam, this was a real eye opener. I have an extremely out of control mind and for the first time i can see it clearly. You changed a life today. Now i know what to do to take control, just let the thoughts pass, it doesn't need to become me or to consume me.

I'm happy that everyone's growing thanks to you, man.

I'm going to continue to watch this video often to get to your level of control. I've been working so hard to get there and you brought up so many good points

I really needed this at this point of my life. Thank you

Great content man. I love the way you analyze your experiences, cause it feels so fitting to my first shroom experience. At that time I was upset about my drug habits so the whole trip ended in me having endless depressing thought loops. It was like loosing the control over the endless thoughts of loosing control over my life.

2:25 I'm procrastinating studying by watching this video lol

Beware of unearned wisdom

“I’m gonna trip on an airplane...” and an ad with an exploding airplane cuts in.

You're more than a trip guide bro you're a lifeguard a lot of the things heard in this video I already felt and believed but didn't know how to express to those around me this video helps me to do so thank you

You have definitely taught me a few things in the couple of years I have been following your videos. Keep doing your thing, good sir!

Just to put it out there: I've been trippin for quite some time now and I've never had a "bad trip". I believe it is all about your mentality and ability to accept that theres no going back, and because of that you gotta keep going and make the best out of every trip. Works every damn time for me, even when the set/setting is terrible. Has anyone else felt this way? Lemme know folks. Love from Serbia!

I really appreciate that you make the videos that you do. I resonate with a lot of what you say and i'm sure that a lot of other people do as well, it's really nice to have someone like you that has experience to kind of start the thinking process about these kinds of things. Soo yeah, thank you! hahah :D

Nearing 40 years old here and I have so much nostalgia for a period in my life 20 years ago, involving these compounds. Stumbled upon your channel and have been enjoying many of your vids the past few days 👍 But this video is by far the most powerful and accurate information. You really nailed it with this one. Very wise information. I've become a slave to my mind over the past 20 years. I've been beat down from various life experiences that have all slowly left a lasting mark in my psyche. I have become habituated to certain tasks, thought processes and habits. Once a free soul with a mind that could adapt and be "present" with the good and the bad, now I have a mind hardened, habituated, lazy and far from being present...especially with the bad. This is a generalization that doesn't apply to everyone of course, but there is a common trend of people abstaining from psychedelics as they get older. Often it's one single negative experience that makes people give them up forever. For others, they become fearful of sailing in those waters as they get older. It's like our society slowly but surely takes over the innocent, healthy "child brain". Many talk about it as ego and that it's like a cancer perhaps. But like you've touched on, I think having some ego is part of the human experience itself. I have toyed with a couple extremely low doses of mushrooms here and there over past 20 years(like a half gram to a gram)....but i know just based of my inner shit and my cannabis use...i just couldn't handle that realm anymore. I am scared of my own mind. I am approaching mid life crisis territory slowly and i am very unfulfilled. And this video really hits home about things I already knew but couldn't put into words as well as you have. I don't know if ill ever be able or willing to return to the deeper waters, but your video helps give me motivation to make my mental health and fortitude and discipline more of the priority i know it should be. I've been wanting to do all sorts of things for my mind. Like cutting off all social media(i deleted facebook 2 years ago at least). Practicing meditation and mindfulness exercises and giving them as much importance as i do physical exercise. And on that note...cut out my video game time for a little more physical exercise consistency. Instead of video games, getting back into my guitar and making my chess study consistent. Im a decent father...but engage my kids more than i do. I know i can do better. But then there is my biggest fault of all....everyone close tells me that I am way too hard on myself. I beat myself up constantly. I need to start looking at the world with the eyes of a child again. I need to practice the exercise of gratitude. Anyway...i just realized i'm ranting and wrote an essay in the comment section of youtube lol I will be sharing this with many people. You seem like a good soul. Love your content and keep it up 👍

This really makes a lot of sense, ever since I’ve started watching your videos I’ve been feeling a lot better about wanting to take psychedelics again but this video really puts a perspective on things. I know what I have to do now to not have a disastrous trip and it really is thanks to you. Next trip I take is going to be what it was supposed to be and I’m going to be READY

My very first trip, just like you said I thought I died and thought I had to kill myself to get out of the loop. Then QUICKLY I realized that sounded stupid. Once I accepted that I MIGHT be dead and just have to accept it, I continued the rest of that trip in peace. My "tether" back to reality is literally opening my front door and look around.

This inspired me to get back into meditation. Honestly, even though you're the "psychedelic guy", watching your videos always convinces me that drugs aren't the answer lol. That seems to be sort of an aim of yours so keep up the good work Adam!

Just watching this now because it popped up in my feed, but I think this advice is really good for not just tripping but also life in general. You have a really good perception on life itself it seems

loving the educational aspects of your channel. could have used it back in '06 and before.... now finally doing the work i should have done back then, with you help! keep it up

I wish i had seen this video 1,5 years ago. Love this video!

I needed this.

your subtle humor kills me!! great video too

Thank you so much for doing what you do. These videos have literally been a lifeline for me for the past many many hours. I needed this.

Love your video, as always! I'd challenge one thing that you said tho: You said meditation is the practice of gaining control over the mind. I think this is a very common perception of meditation, yet I think this a little useful perspective on the whole matter. Control suggests a separation and inequality of your different parts. As I understand meditation, it is about listening to all of your parts equally. Your mind/ego can actually give you really relevant information if you listen closely. And then there is actually no need to control it, because it got all that it wanted: attention! That is all your ego is craving. Give it your attention like you give attention to all your other needs.

One thing I am happy to have realized on my trip is how disciplined my thought patterns were. Taking lsd helped me gain more confidence in myself because I was able to realize how far I've come in my mental health journey and it put things in perspective for me. I realized whenever my mind started to try going into a negative thought loop, my subconscious would pull me out by countering the thoughts with positive things that trumped the negativity with logic every time, making the negativity just roll off and disappear. I didn't even notice how much I did this in my every day life until I tripped. I gained a lot more faith in myself and ability to get better mentally because of lsd. I agree that not everyone will have this experience, especially if you're dealing with hardcore depression and not taking therapy or working with yourself in some way to cope. I think people should be very careful because like Adam said, it can be very dangerous.

People have always said surrender and I have never known how. This explanation has really helped. Life is paradoxical, and you explained this one for me perfectly!Thanks Adam.

You really nailed it with this one Adam! I will re-watch this many times!

This makes me wonder how psychedelics could ever possibly help with P.T.S.D. I can’t control my flashbacks and meditating makes it worse. I don’t give in to other impulses that much, but my Traumatic memories overtake me and everything I do to try and make it better makes it worse. I did live in my Grandpa’s basement for a long time, though I either had a job or was looking for 1. I genuinely wish my problem was just being lazy I would actually know how to fix that. I’ve never tripped before and this makes me think maybe I never should because controlling my Trauma is something I have continuously tried and completely failed to do for 7 years.

I have ADHD and I tripped for my first time on shrooms and I had the worst trip ever. As a side note I’m an unmedicated person and experience the racing random thoughts that I can’t really control. After that first trip I decided to start meditating because I felt like if I could have a better ability to filter through my own thoughts it would be a great tool not just for tripping but in my sober life too. I have tripped 4 times since my first shrooms trip. Once on LSD and and rest were shrooms trips. They were AMAZING. Idk about tripping on acid that’s uhhh different. But I feel like me meditating has benefit me in a lot of ways. I can have long conversations with people and not get overly distracted, I can multi-task a lot better, and I’m a lot happier because I don’t get stuck on negative thought patterns as much or as hard as I used to. I prefer to listen to guided meditation with headphone on and right before bed so I can manifest positive energy and vibes for the next day

I've personally found that bad trips usually come from guilt. You more or less get what you think you deserve. That's why it's so important to clean your house and your life up before you go deep into the void. It's also great to have everything you need prepared in advance. Me and most of my friends think bad trips are the only ones that count. Good trips are just a fun time but bad trips come with profound life lessons.
