I started freaking out during a trip once. My thoughts were in an endless loop while my bed sheets turned into a pile of corpses. Realizing that nobody was going to help me, I just... dived into the pile of corpses. A soft, giant hand pushed on top of me, pushing me deep into the ground, where everything was dark. I accepted death, aloneness and nothingness. And then, suddenly, I became surrounded by fireflies, and peace washed all over me. It was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had. So... Before you take the trip killer, try jumping into the pile of corpses first.

Most scary part is thinking the trip is going to last forever and you’ll be that way for infinity

I've been a "trip advisor" for many first timers and I always have a benzo on hand just in case. But usually, all I've needed to do is redirect the person. Grab some coloring books, start a light show, change the music that's playing, get them a snack, or even just move to a different room. Stay safe y'all ✌

The best trip "smoother" rather than "killer" is to find an object before you take the trip. Any peaceful small object you can keep with you without losing it will work fine. The item you choose becomes "The Plot". The item is connected with reality, keep it with you at all times for safety throughout the trip & you'll never lose the plot.

HE'S MONETIZED!!! I have NEVER been more happy to see ads on a video in my life!!! 💖💖💖

We NEED you on the Joe Rogan podcast

Some of my nightmarish trips turned into the most beautiful trips I’ve ever had.

Psilocybin, LSD, shrooms and ketamine are absolutely life changing substances that have so much potential to help people with mental health issues

This guy has taught me more about drugs than any crackhead in my town ever has

The most important thing you can say to yourself to survive a bad trip is “tomorrow it will all be over.”

its always good to remember that its only a bad trip while youre in it, its a good story and learning experience once you return.

Never take living in a clear sober headspace for granted. In a terror trip, reality is something abjectly terrifying it’s beyond thoughts.

i was kind of hopign he was just gonne be like "eat an orange"

I lost my sock on shrooms once ruined my whole night lol

I went into a mildly bad trip after returning from a concert with my friends and they began eating ribs. Sound innocuous but that was pretty horrific to watch a group of young, hungry guys with the munchies devouring ribs.

I’m not on any drugs at the moment. But the way you just described a bad trip made me scared bro I got chills

The scariest part of my worst trip was that I forgot I ever took drugs. I thought life was just always like that. For context : this was a dissociative substance. I was 16 and stupid and the only other person with me was also high and I couldn't even move my body so I don't think they could've helped anyways LOL

"If you're watching this and you're high on weed or God forbid tripping right now, you might want to skip ahead-" sounds like a challenge m8

I’ve had 2 bad experiences, one left me high for 18 hours, I was walking around my army barracks at 6am on a sunday tweaking out smoking cigarettes… by some miracle no one noticed me and I eventually went back to my room. Worst experience of my life

Thank you for always taking these experiences seriously but especially thank you for serious you took this video.

Ahh I love the way Canadians say “Sorry” thank you Adam

When taking Shrooms I like to make a written report while Im tripping like .... 'Hour 1' ... 'Hour 2' ... It relaxes me to read It like a story and that I should want a happy ending :) Plus I can sort of 'Rewind' my trip If It gets negative by thinking of something I already wrote down

Salvia is the only psychedelic I've done that truly scared me and made me feel like it was never going to end. Ive had many experiences that were less than fun and wanted them to go away but I was able to keep myself calm because I was aware that even though I'm having a really shitty experience, I would come out of it in a little while no matter how long it may seem. With Salvia, I was aware that Salvia was the culprit, but I was convinced it WAS NOT going to end. There is no way I will ever put myself through that hell ever again.

You have done so much to help me through the process of using plant medicine to heal trauma. I am still working my way to a better place mentally and your channel has done so much to help with harm reduction and an to give me an overall sense of being conscious about the way I'm using these medicines. Thank you so much for the work you do.

"I am not a doctor" is actually a holy prophet

You are literally one of the most important channels on the Internet.

I just wanna say the feelings he described from a terrifying trip are %100 accurate. Retired psycho air here, the last trip I ever had (and will ever have) was on an 8th of Golden Teachers. I remember thinking that I was dead and in order to come back I needed to get in my car, severely crash it, and die. Then I would be reborn. Horrible experience and the reason I will never do psychs ever again.

I have been waiting a long time for this video...thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences.

"Psychedelics seem to have taken us out of a state of almost sleep."

I cant say enough how much your videos have helped me. It was a longer trip sitting video you did that saved my life, I believe that wholeheartedly. I'm coming down now after 6 months of no psychoactive substances since my last bad trip I'll explain. I was just, in my own head I was choking to death, over and over again. O would barely be able to breath, I could barely talk or move or anything, I was crying though laying in the middle of my floor. I'm not a religious person but I was praying to something to end my life and make it stop, If I was able to move to far enough, I wouldn't ended it myself. But then I found your video, I played it on repeat just hearing you talk telling me I'd be okay, over and over until I passed out at the end of bad trip of what I thought was the end of my life. I wish I could do something to repay you for saving my life, physically or mentally whatever it may have been. Please never stop man, you save so many peoples lives I'm sure of it. This is the first time I've loosely explained what happened to me, and it changed me forever honestly

Thank you so much for this video, Adam! You’re the best! ❤️

By 5.00 I had to skip! Being reminded of the very worst experience of my life got my heart racing. It took me a long, long time to get around it. I wont say over it because that will never happen but in the end it made me stronger(ish). Edited to add, my elder sister saved my life that night. Stayed with me throughout and endured...Thanks K. Words cannot express...♥

The 'bad' trips I had, always led to the most meaningful experiences in my life.

bad trips throw you into a delusional thought loop of impending doom

Its so hard to explain the feeling, but all I can say is it feels like I am about to die. But once I get through that, and break through I get this happy warmth wash over me and start smiling because I know im okay

Really thanks for a video! This brought me back to the tripping after a years of pause, because of terror trips, not bad trips.

Most of my bad trips have been caused by me trying to explain that I’m OK.

I’ve been so high off shrooms that I forgot I had taken them

In 98' I had a really, really bad trip. With wildly Inkscape visuals. As well as sounds. Though before it went all bad, I was tripping absolute balls. The negativity occurred once I came home. 4 hours past my curfew. And was scolded by my parents.

Great Video! Subscribed!

My favorite trip helper is mr placebo. I always just keep something with me, could be a m&m a vitamine b pill, or just a piece of candy. Just the thought of something helping makes there headspace more positive and stop the negative thoughts

I had a bad trip once, the entirety of reality became hostile. Radio, television, everything I tried to distract myself with was attacking me. Crazy shit. Even a seminar with Alan Watts wasn't any helpful. "You are your own karma" shit got me to the core.

Literally liked and subscribed as soon as u asked 🐐🐐🐐

bro thanks for the warning before explaining what bad trip feels like. I appreciate that

truly terrifying trips can make you suicidal. its absolutely a state you do not want to be in, and you go there before ego death. its where people meet their shadow - every aspect of you that you do not want to accept.

I love 🍄. I’ve had some really rough times on them, and some really good ones. Even the bad trips are good though because you come out of it just glad to be alive.

Psychedelic is the answer to most severe anxiety and depression...The use of magic mushrooms completely helps one get over depression and makes you feel like yourself...I used antidepressants for some years but it only made me feel like a zombie but with immediate use of mushroom 🍄 in few months I feel like I'm living a whole new Life.

2021 still gotta love this guy

Even completely sober, I'm was stressed and very uneased by the skippable part

my worst trip was so bad that it convinced me to give up all drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine and any vaguely mind altering substance and get as healthy as possible. so I guess there was an upside. I am physically fitter now than i was 10 or even 20 years ago. That's how much it scared me.

The psyched logo at the beginning is the best representation of what things look like when your tripping I've ever seen

I got "dosed" with acid by an adult chaperone on our senior class trip. And what a TRIP it was! I was 13 and with kids I knew from Kindergarten on a boat cruise on the Potomac. I felt it kick in HARD when we got on. I immediately went to the port rail to look at the waves. I always got mesmerized by waves when we went deep sea fishing or trolling on Lake Champlain. They were my happiest moments so I did what I knew would keep me from freaking out. At the halfway point, someone came looking for me and took me in to the dance floor room where everyone was dancing to music. I was ok because of the waves, but I did not know who I was, where I was, or recognize anyone there. Thank God there were no mirrors! So I have also had some scary trips since then and got WAY too high on pot, but if I could make it through such a scary trip at 13, I can survive anything. PS: love the waters of our delicate blue-green planet. Earth is our mother, the rivers her veins, and the Oceans are her womb.

Sounds like a bad trip is just being stuck in Itachi's Tsukuyomi

Benzos don't seem to stop the trip, they just remove anxiety... Perfect!

I've tripped probably 50x. 49x they were so much fun. I tripped with good friends and we all brought something to the trip all positive energy. We played games like kids. We would start with 4 doses cause we all liked the visuals. The one time I had a bad trip I was only one one dose I knew whatever was going on so I got very quiet and just chilled until it was over. Wasn't even that bad thank god. Another time I started to have a bad trip, I felt on my own, my buddy noticed it right away and brought me back into the group and we had a great night.

People, dont underestimate the power of entering and exiting a room. That simple act gives you a new perspective and has definitely helped me enter a new headspace. Just walk into the bathroom, close the door, hang out for a min, take a piss, sit down if you need to, or just stand there and enjoy the paint, then walk out! Very simple way to ground yourself if youre struggling a bit

He is like a psychedelic Sean from hot ones

I feel like getting a bad trip is part of the experience if you wanna see the good you gotta be willing to confront the bad.

Bro your freaking amazing. I have a bachelor's in psychology because of your harm reduction studies

Thanks man. I've watched so many of your videos and I somehow missed this one. Wish I hadn't.

“It’s better to be safe than SOARY”

Why didn’t I see this title like a million hours ago when I needed this

Good stuff!!! I like you! Very helpful! TU

Love your stuff man! Big fan of hot ones as well!

God takes a Trip Killer and we all vanish in cloud of vapour...

people wonder what i bad trip is like and then theres me wondering what a good trip is like

Thanks for the info dude:)

Hey Adam, just so you know, because most psychedelics agonize the 5-HT2a receptor, the best and most surefire trip killers are Haldol or Respirdal, both of which antagonize that receptor.

Only had one bad trip and I was in a huge panic attack, I used trazodone and it completely killed my trip, I was on the come up. Pretty sure it's used as a sleeping pill commonly. Didn't make me tired just took away my entire anxious panic attack feeling. Was very thankful for it. Bad trips are NOT something you should just "tough out" if you don't think you can mentally handle it

The only youbute channel I get excited to see adds on. Smh youtube

Right on bruh I appreciate u. Just watching ur vid made my trip chill out a lil bit lol

great info:) Im about to dive into my yearly trip. Find a beautiful spot in nature, do some sort of barricading, make a nice camp fire and drink that tea:)

yes i’m high asf but this guys eyes are beautiful

That disclaimer was so damn considerate. I skipped ahead cus I just smoked! 👏

Darling video!

God I was having a terrible trip off 9gram mushroom trip. This video is helping a lot. A bad trip is a true living nightmare. The worst part is the feeling of never getting out of it and how time is literally going 1/5 normal

I find that accepting the fear, feeling it and experiencing it makes it go away. It's an emotion like all of them and if you fight it it's obviously gonna feel bad. I was so afraid of my feelings before psychedelics. They taught me to accept them and feel them through. It's not the feeling itself but what you think about it that makes it bad. Anyway I'm tripping balls, thanks for the info.

“Your living thru your worst nightma...” ad: Did someone say KFC?

“Not kidding you thats what wikipedia told me” LOVE IT HAHAHA Loved the video and Im hooked seeing every one of your videos learning more of this things I have a history in my family of schizophrenia and I always thought I could never have one of this trips but as I learned in research is that, that isnt the case but I’m still researching more to do it safe and be more calmer. Thanks to people like you that really test it and educate more on these topics and decriminalize this drugs so more people have a better understanding and empathy for others.

Okay, so I have one for you. I'm 28 now, this was back when I was 17 or just after I turned 18. I had recently learned that I might have a schizophrenic disorder (now diagnosed as a schizo-effective disorder related to being on the autism spectrum), but back then I wasn't taking it seriously, and had a hard time doing so for a while because I had messed with and blamed my regular consumption of synthetic weed with extreme psychedelic pcp-like properties back then, the original brand of "Head Trip" with the skull over a brown background with a shiny authentication sticker lol and in between being able to buy that I would regularly go on dxm binges, one lasting two weeks where I actually got minor blood-poisoning and serotonin syndrome, the last and longest of dex trips I went on that also concluded in my first full blown schizophrenic episode. Luckily, my best friend and trip buddy at the time was at my house and was a diagnosed schizophrenic, so he talked me through it until things calmed down. I thought THAT was a bad trip. It was NOTHING compared to the night I took twice the max dose of 2c-p with some 2c-i and 2c-b thrown in to make the trip "complete". I ended up having to stay at a strangers house that night surrounded by mostly people I didn't know, one of which held a gun to my head and forced me to do a line of coke for the first time ever in my life with his freaking wife and 1 year old baby in the room RIGHT when my trip was starting to pick up. My dumb ass was so high I really actually didn't think I felt much from it and said so to the guy afterword in a "that wasn't so bad" kind of way and I guess that rubbed him wrong, because he sent a bowl of weed in by way of one of my buddies at the time, and told me it was an apology bowl from the dude. I thought "great, I can get back into a stoney headspace before my trip...and hit it. Hard. My friend started laughing after I was half-way through my hit, which I decided to be sure to finish before I asked WHY he was laughing so mysteriously. He just told me "that was REALLY dirty, bro." and walked away laughing just as everything started to swirl around me and visuals immediately kicked in at the same time that I felt a familiar burning/tingling in my mind and a cacophony of voices quickly rushed into my mind at the same time the visuals and paranoia started; for those of you wondering/familiar enough with coke, you may be wondering about that "dirty" bowl since smoking powder-coke doesn't actually do anything other than have a placebo effect on kids dumb enough to waste it that way. What I should have realized and didn't know until the next day because of my lack of experience: I was tripping in a crack-den pretty much and the dude with the coke slipped a fuggin' entire slug into that bowl, apparently. I usually held my sht together pretty well while tripping and was supposed to be babysitting the owner of the home's two small children for the night while she smoked her dope and supplied a free place to stay and unlimited food and weed while I was there. I'll finish this later because it's getting pretty long and I need to get up and get ready for the day right now.

Missed you Adam ❤ you've been a long time favorite of mine, hope you are doing well friend

Thank you for uploading this, its guaranteed to help thousands of people. My friend was on a path of having a bad trip and he forgot we had some diazepam, as soon as i reminded him he instantly clicked and had a blast of a first LSD trip. Edit: He didn't take it, the simple thought of knowing there was a way out made him let go and enjoy the experience.

I always start a timer on my phone when I take the substance. I keep a little notepad next to my bed that says “you’re on drugs, if it’s rough it’ll be over soon.” Those things help a lot to keep a reality only a few feet away.

yo I'm so early the quality is still shit. Awesome!

I want a playlist of all his monetized videos so I can just let them play in the background at all times

Couldn’t agree with you more!! Best thing I’ve found is only trip in a happy comfortable place.. UNLESS You are with someone who is extremely experienced and can babysit you essentially. Happy tripping 😊

A true terror trip will dig deep into your soul, I've had two truely horrible trips, and It was really the worst time of my life! First time I didn't have Any tripkillers, and it was a real life nightmare, I was 100% sure this was the end, and yo make it worse, I was with a friend, who had it the same way, which I think made it worse for both of us. The second time I had tripkillers, but didn't want to take it, however after some time, I took it anyways, because the experience kept getting worse. I remembered the first time, and didn't wanna go there again! Always remember, safety first, NO trip is worth your mental health or in worst case your life ... Don't be afraid to kill a trip, if you feel like you really need too, you can always have fun another day ✌

*warns if you’re high on weed not to watch* Me: *continues whilst high*

Just... paused the video to literally say thank you for putting a time skip for a certain situation.

Great video. Thanks!

bad trips are actually the most healing ones if you integrate them properly afterwards. Its called Shadow work. You can also navigate them if well prepared.

" oh yeah im sober, give me the keys im gonna drive to mcdonalds"

I love your true Canadian coming out when you say “sorry”

Mane I got so much to say and havnt but I thank you and love you and appreciate you for naming peep

really great work as alwas

I was looking for a recipe cooking shiitake in a pasta dish and somehow ended up here. My cooking isn't great, but using a 'trip killer' seemed a bit much.

My friend had a terror trip on the fourth of july, he doesn’t talk to me anymore and in class he just stares at me☹️ i miss my best friend

Great educational

I had eaten an edible that I thought was 20 mg thc, but it was actually 200..... way too much. I was twitchy, and felt compelled to walk in a tight circle in the middle of my room. My heart was racing and every sound caused a pang of anxiety. Time meant nothing. I held every thought for way too long, and it created an echo chamber of fear. Awful.
