It all depends really on what is goin on in your head before you take them.
I would never take them again i belive they are pure evil,
I have a very hard time believing the above. Maybe, Maybe this might happen to someone with schizophrenia who takes shrooms. In that case, the person should not be doing any of the hallucinogens.
As for me, I take the full Terence McKenna heroic dose of 5 plus grams of dried psilocybin mushroom. I have had bad trips, if that is what you want to call them. Let’s call them unpleasant trips, because if you pay attention, those bad trips can bring into focus something very important, which is good.
Very often, bad trips will turn into good trips if you pay attention to what’s going on. This is where it is good to have a sitter, somebody who can help you hang in there.
At least for me, “bad trips” on mushroom are not full of daemons waiting to devour your or anything visual at all. There is just a sense of foreboding.
“Bad” or “Good” trip I don’t usually have visuals. There is a change in perception of space, though.
